While Supplies Last

Fifteen-year-old Marisol is the daughter of a soucouyant. Every new moon, she sheds her skin like the many women before her, shifting into a fireball witch who must fly into the night and sip from the lives of others to sustain her own. But Brooklyn is no place for witches. While Marisol hoped they would leave their old traditions behind with the islands, she knows this cannot be while she remains ensnared by the one person who keeps her chained to her magical past—her mother.

Seventeen-year-old Genevieve is the daughter of a college professor. Each night she is kept up by her deteriorating skin and the constant wailing of her baby siblings. She stares at the dark sky with a deep longing to inhale it all, to quench the hunger that gnaws at her. The arrival of a new nanny reveals a family secret -- one connecting her to Marisol.

But the the very skin that locks the flames may be more explosive to their relationships than any ancient magic.

Olivia D. ★★★★★

My 15-year-old niece couldn't put it down, and the signed copy made it feel extra special for her collection. She loved the unique fantasy twist with the soucouyant mythology woven into a modern teen's life.

Evelyn ★★★★★

I was so relieved when my daughter, a reluctant reader, actually picked this up and finished it in two days. The signed copy arrived in perfect condition, and the soucouyant lore woven into a modern teen's life is what hooked her.

Alexander ★★★★★

The signed copy arrived with a clean, sharp signature on the title page, and the new-moon skin-shedding premise hooked me from the first chapter. Marisol’s internal conflict between her mother’s fireball legacy and her own identity felt painfully real, and I finished it in one sitting.
