    Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this feminist psychological horror about the making of a 
    female serial killer from a Korean-American perspective. 
    Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her 
    mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, 
    horrifying… yet enticing. 
    In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the 
    same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed 
    his welcome in her family’s claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian 
    waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of 
    Umma’s fawning adoration. No, George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that. 
    For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and 
    manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated. 
    A brilliantly inventive, subversive novel about a young woman unraveling, Monika Kim’s The Eyes Are the Best 
    Part is a story of a family falling apart and trying to find their way back to each other, marking a bold new voice 
    in horror that will leave readers mesmerized and craving more.

    The Book of Demons, the much-anticipated sequel to The Book of Souls, finds Jack Kelly in the fight of his life. This time, he's not battling ghosts. His nemesis is the shapeshifting necromancer, Mr. Philips, who inhabits both the world of the living and the world of the dead. 
    Ghost-touched teen Jack Kelly returns in this polished urban fantasy/horror sequel to Moore’s The Book of Souls. At times an intriguing mystery, at others a chilling thriller, The Book of Demons offers a sensational stroll through the hustle and bustle of an inventively paranormal version of 80s New York City. Jack’s development throughout is an adventurous, if spooky, coming of age story that will thrill and at times scare readers of classic urban fantasy and YA series... — Booklife Reviews 
    When Mr. Philips discovers a powerful, cursed painting whose magic he can use for personal gain, he will stop at nothing to acquire it…including murder. 
    Before he can get his hands on it, the painting goes missing and its artist is found dead. Enraged, Mr. Philips vows to hunt it down. But someone else finds it first: Jack, a teenage mystic who understands the painting’s tremendous power and would do anything to keep Mr. Philips from harnessing it. 
    Along with two unexpected allies—a non-verbal autistic child and the spirit of a dead nun—Jack battles to keep the painting away from Mr. Philips. But as the stakes rise along with the body count, their epic battle for possession of the painting may cost Jack everything and everyone he loves.
