Laney
Harris thinks there might be monsters in Fairy, Texas.
She's
right.
When her mother remarried and moved them
to a town where a date meant hanging out at the Sonic, Laney figured that
"boring" would have a whole new meaning. A new stepsister who
despised her and a high school where she was the only topic of gossip were bad enough.
But when she met the school counselor (and his terminal bad breath), she grew
suspicious. Especially since he had wings that only she could see. And then
there were Josh and Mason, two gorgeous glimmering-eyed classmates whose
interest in her might not be for the reasons she hoped. Not to mention that
dead guy she nearly tripped over in gym class.
Boring takes on an entirely new dimension in Fairy, Texas.
If she's going to survive in this small
town, she'll have to learn to wing it.

EXCERPT:
I took a deep breath and stepped
forward. I made it halfway down the hall without seeing anything
informative—all the doors had numbers over them and many of them had name
plaques, but neither of those things did me any good since I didn’t know the
name or office number for the counselor. I was almost getting desperate enough
to ask Kayla, but of course she was nowhere to be seen.
I
turned back from scanning the halls for her and caught sight of the first adult
I’d seen—and almost screamed. As it was, I gasped loudly enough for a guy
walking past me to do a double take. The man standing in the open doorway was
tall, over six feet, and way skinny—so emaciated that it looked like you ought
to be able to see his ribs through his shirt, if his shirt didn’t hang so
loosely on him. He had white hair that stuck out in tufts, thin lips, a sharp
nose, and pale blue eyes that narrowed as he watched the kids walk past—and all
the kids gave him a wide berth without even seeming to notice that they did so.
He stood in an empty circle while students streamed around him in the crowded
hallway.
But
none of that was what made me almost scream.
For
a moment, just as I’d turned toward him, I could have sworn that I’d seen the
shadow of two huge, black, leathery wings stretched out behind him.
Playlists
All of the songs in these playlists represent some element of the characters, setting, or plot of Fairy, Texas—and they’re also the songs I listened to when I was writing the book! I wanted songs that highlighted both the creepy world in which Laney Harris finds herself and the rural Texas setting of this YA paranormal romance/mystery.
And since I can never pick just one, I have two playlists for Fairy, Texas!
