The Campfire Series
young adult contemporary romance
The Campfire Series is a lighthearted, dual-POV, young adult contemporary romance that follows teens as they fall in love during “celestial events”: a solar eclipse in Portland, Oregon, camping at a dark park in Utah; and camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon during a lunar eclipse.
“Best friends to more is one of my favorite tropes, and I appreciate that [in Chasing the Moon,] Mel and Steph not only have to figure out what this could mean for them, but how it would impact Jess, the third member of the Bestie Brigade, as well. (And that first kiss? *swoon*).” – Regina, Goodreads review
“Chasing the Stars is a sweet coming of age contemporary romance that features two teens trying to get a handle on their lives. With their crazy families and unknown futures to consider, a relationship sounds like too much to juggle for both Hunter and Naomi. But surrounded by the beauty of nature makes it hard to focus on the bad, especially when Naomi’s thing is to find the good.” – YA Book Central
“Chasing the Sun was such a lovely falling-in-love story between two extremely vulnerable teens who were both a little reluctant to do so.” – Kevin Craig, author of The Camino Club and Pride Must Be a Place
The Rules Series
young adult sports romance
The Rules Series is about three girls in Boulder, Colorado who navigate their struggles with life and love while skiing, biking, and snowboarding in the great outdoors. Perfect for fans of outdoor adventure, swoony kisses, and figuring out who you really are.
“I love this series so much. There’s a ton of heart and it brings all the feels.” – Michelle
“I wish the series never ended and I could live in their mountain world a bit longer.” – Lauren
“The Edge Rules is a thoroughly enjoyable, fast read, and I found Brianna’s journey as a recovering mean girl to be believable and compelling. Brianna’s complicated home life and her feelings about a boy from the wrong side of the tracks helped to flesh her out as a fully layered teenager who has made of a lot of mistakes but genuinely wants to be better.” – NYT best-selling author Amanda Hocking
The Flicker Effect
young adult contemporary time travel romance
Featuring new covers and a slimmed-down size!
The Flicker Effect tells the story of Biz, a 17-year old who uses sunlight to travel back to yesterday. At first, she uses her ability to fix silly things, like if she fails a test or gets in a fight with friends, but there’s a mystery involved where girls in her town start disappearing. Biz realizes she could help them… but she’d have to tell someone her secret.
“Flicker is a highly original tale. The story moves at a quick pace as you’re drawn into Biz’s world right from the first page, and an intriguing world at that.” – Sher, Goodreads review
Hooyenga’s Flicker had me on the edge of my seat! A great who-done-it for YA fans, it had me guessing until the very end. Hooyenga had me (and my teenage daughter who loves this book) eyeing the shadows between trees a bit differently after reading Flicker, it stays with you long after the last page. —Stacey Graham, author of The Girls’ Ghost-Hunting Guide and The Zombie Tarot
“Featuring a unique twist on time travel, this YA novel offers plenty of teen romance and atmosphere, as well as a mystery that ends with a satisfying and unexpected surprise.” – Erin Fanning, Goodreads review
