Clement-Moore, Rosemary

YA
Teenage medium Daisy Goodnight (Texas Gothic) is consulting on a missing-persons case when she herself is abducted. Her kidnapper? The missing coed's crime-boss father, who coerces Daisy (with hot-but-probably-criminal Carson) into a wild goose chase to find the ransom: an ancient Egyptian magical artifact. Snarky, flirty banter; plot twists and double-crosses; and plenty of tense supernatural action will thrill paranormal romance fans.

YA
Striving for normality in her magic-practicing family, Amy is happy for a summer of hard work at her aunt's Texas ranch. But the deathly cold apparition in Amy's bedroom pulls her into a dangerous mystery. Clement-Moore mixes suspense, humor, and lots of local flavor in this lively teen ghost story--with sex appeal--that’s one part Texas history and one part CSI.

YA
Maggie's plan to write an exposé of sorority rush for her small-town newspaper becomes complicated once she realizes that the most exclusive sorority truly is demonic. Possessed of her own supernatural powers, she finds herself surprisingly tempted to pledge. Alternating between a funny spoof of collegiate turmoil and an over-the-top melodrama, this sequel to Prom Dates from Hell is light but satisfying fare.

YA
Maggie, wisecracking photographer for her high-school paper and reluctant heir to her grandmother's gift of "the Sight," deduces that the demon cursing the school's popular crowd will reach full power at...senior prom. Buffy fans will relish the unflappable, edgy humor. Though the logistics aren't as tight as they might be, Maggie's narration is consistently entertaining.
