Sixteen-year-old Jules Demarco is doomed from ever climbing the popularity ladder. For one, she spends most of her time working in the family restaurant, waiting tables for and delivering pizzas to her peers. Her family lives above the restaurant, so she can’t help but smell constantly of their recipes, and she’s forced to drive a vehicle with giant meatballs on top to school. Another challenge is that her father suffers from depression and massive hoarding that has filled every available surface in their home with junk; Jules hasn’t invited anyone home in years. Read More

About the Book
Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that.
What she can’t handle is the recurring vision that haunts her. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode...and nine body bags in the snow.
The vision is everywhere --- on billboards, television screens, windows --- and she’s the only one who sees it. And the more she sees it, the more she sees. The vision is giving her clues, and soon Jules knows what she has to do. Because now she can see the face in one of the body bags, and it’s someone she knows. Someone she has been in love with for as long as she can remember.
In this riveting start to a gripping series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann, Jules has to act --- and act fast --- to keep her vision from becoming reality.

About the Book
Paris, 1919.
The world’s leaders have gathered to rebuild from the ashes of the Great War.
But for one woman, the City of Light harbors dark secrets and dangerous liaisons, for which many could pay dearly.
Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all.
Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job—and also a reason to question everything she thought she knew about where her true loyalties should lie.
Against the backdrop of one of the most significant events of the century, a delicate web of lies obscures the line between the casualties of war and of the heart, making trust a luxury that no one can afford.
