INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Cuando mi madre murió, mi vida cambio por completo. Para ayudar a mi familia, me he visto envuelta en el oscuro mundo de la mafia. A pesar de las cosas terribles que he vivido, no estoy dispuesta a rendirme. Al menos, eso pensaba hasta que me obligaron a trabajar para Asher Scott. Es el jefe del clan Scott y la persona más horrible que he conocido...aunque mi corazón no siente lo mismo. EL DIABLO Todos piensan que soy la persona más fría que han conocido, pero no es fácil formar parte del despiadado mundo al que pertenezco. Desde que me pusieron al frente del negocio familiar, para proteger al clan Scott, juré que nunca me volvería a fiar de nadie. Y lo estaba consiguiendo?hasta que mis hermanos me obligaron a aceptar que Ella Collins trabajara para mí. Estar cerca de ella es peligroso.

Sixteen-year-old Mafi Shahin is well-aware that life is not always fair. If it was fair, her parents might allow her to hang out with a member of the male species, other than her cat Mr. Meowgi. If it was fair, her crush and basketball hottie Jalen Thomas might see her as more than just her brother's kid sister. And if it was fair, her baba’s brother and wife would be able to leave Afghanistan and come to America. Life might not be fair—but she can make it a bit more even. Working as the Ghost of Santa Margarita High, Mafi serves dollops of justice on her classmates’ behalf as the school’s secret avenger. They leave a note declaring the crime and Mafi ensures the offender receives an anonymous karmic-sized dose of payback. Keeping her identity as the Ghost a secret sometimes means Mafi has to lie. But as those lies begin to snowball both at school and at home, even compromising their family’s secret past and putting their relatives back in Afghanistan at risk, Mafi is forced to decide how she wants to live her life—trying to make the world more fair from the shadows or loudly and publicly standing up for what’s right.

Once, she had Alex, her loyal best friend, the one who always had her back. She had Sydney, who pushed her during every cross-country run, and who sometimes seemed to know July better than she knew herself. And she had Sam. Sam, who told her she was everything and left her breathless with his touch. Now, July is alone. Every single person in her small town of Lithia has disappeared. No family. No Alex or Sydney. No Sam. July’s only chance at unraveling the mystery of their disappearance is a series of objects, each a reminder of the people she loved most. And a mysterious message: GET TH3M BACK.
