Far beyond heaven, earth and hell is a city known as Palladino, a place ruled by ghosts and filled with demons, magic, and all sorts of darkly beautiful things. A city where no one can ever escape.Eighteen-year-old Rory is a cake decorator who makes stunning confections. But no amount of frosting or miracles can save her when a demon kidnaps her—and carries her to Palladino. Here, Rory ends up in a deadly charm school where young women are forced to become companions for the Ghost Lords. And for her to survive, Rory must become everything that she isn’t: graceful, elegant... and perfect.
But nothing is what it seems in Palladino. Not the magic. Not the ghosts. And definitely not Martin Marius, the bizarre Ghost Lord-slash-inventor who is drawn to Rory. For amid a thousand machines and a hundred cats, Martin holds a secret that could change everything. A secret that could either free Rory... or destroy her.

Young-adult books are
magical things for readers
and dream believers.
To the young, they are
mirrors of a life they know.
(or wish they knew of.)
To the young at heart,
they are reminders of things
we must not forget.
all those joys, blunders,
dizzying fears and wonders.
And relationships.
young love, first love and
the dreaded love triangle.
Oh, the way hearts fly!
YA books take you far,
far away to worlds unknown
and worlds close to home.
