Summary
Eddie Munson is dead, and Julie Emerson has learned to live through that notion by forcing herself to accept it.
In a town under military watch, where his death is treated like a breath of relief and his name still draws venom from those who refuse to let the satanic-panic narrative die, she keeps herself functional by refusing to linger—on the past, on the Upside Down, on the boy she watched die and swore she would never forget. Grief becomes something to manage, to contain, locked behind routine and medication and sheer force of will.
Except Eddie refuses to stay gone.
He appears in mirrors, in windows, in the quiet spaces between one breath and the next—silent, still, watching her with a familiarity that hurts worse than his absence.
When another kid vanishes and the walls between worlds begin to thin once more, Julie is forced back toward the people she’s spent eighteen months avoiding, and toward a truth she’s been running from: whatever is reaching for her through the dark isn’t just grief or madness.
It’s a pull. A tether. A rope stretched tight between two worlds—
And whatever’s holding on the other side of it doesn’t have much time left.

Summary
Summer 1986. Valerie Anderson is a broke, bored waitress stuck in a Sunset Strip diner and dreaming of escape. By twenty-two, she's fled her mother's faith and vowed never to return.
Enter: Axl Rose. He's a god on stage and a mess of contradictions off it--infuriating, electrifying, and raw in a way she just can't shake. At once, his rootlessness upends her routine.
What blooms as infatuation swiftly spirals into obsessive devotion triggering the suspicion of Valerie's best friend, Jill. Her criticism rips open old wounds and tears Valerie between the only love she's ever known and imminent self-destruction; whatever differences exist between the two.
Sex, drugs, and resurrected histories scar the rise of Guns N' Roses and tempt the fall of its troubled muse. Her past isn't dead, only angered. But does it wield a sharper knife than the life Axl leads?

Summary
Book Two in the Timber Series. Hazel Marlowe thought surviving the Hunger Games would bring an end to her nightmares, but the Victory Tour looms, bringing new dangers and deadlier games. Haunted by the ghosts of the arena, all she wants is to move forward and leave the bloodshed behind. But as Panem's most talked-about victor, Hazel must step back into the spotlight-where survival now means navigating twisted Capitol politics, evading the unsettling attention of Senator Snow, and facing a new arena of manipulation and deceit.
As she attempts to figure out this new world, Hazel is drawn into a dangerous game of power with Snow, whose growing fixation on her remains as mysterious as his motives. Though she holds the title of victor, Hazel is plagued by questions of loyalty and trust, all while fearing for her family's safety. With each day, her grip on reality begins to splinter as the pressure mounts.
