I thought I'd point out that each of these books are only $1 and each a great read.

The Trinity Saga: The Pocket Watch

http://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Saga-P...dp/B002TG4PF4/

Book One in the Trinity saga.

Seventeen-year-old Imogen Stromholdt lives with her father, Jeff, in the seaside town of Eden, Oregon. Her life consists of a daily routine of school, homework, and books, while Jeff makes a living writing the obituaries for the local paper. She has a dream one evening of a man with a golden pocket who is murdered. After dreaming of this mysterious man's death, she meets two strangers that change her life forever; Lucius Knight, and Necklan Nixies.

Things get stranger when Imogen discovers that Necklan is a fire-wielding warlock, and Lucius is far from human.

After coming into possession of the dream watch itself, Imogen becomes the center of a dangerous plot hatched by a madman named Byron Barrowite. With the help of the House of Bekker, an elite organization of warlocks and witches, Imogen will dive into the dark world beyond her front door filled with angels, dragons, voodoo, premonitions, magic, science, and her own mysterious past. But as an average human girl facing off against terrifying obstacles, including a dragon made of pure hellfire, her only weapon is the freedom of choice. Imogen's bravery wavers but her will is stronger in this charming and darkly romantic urban-fantasy of magic, murder, and destiny.

The Trinity Saga: The White Knight

http://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Saga-W...dp/B003NNV0DW/

Book Two in the Trinity saga.

Directly following the events of The Pocket Watch, Lucius Knight becomes involved in the investigation of the assassination attempt on the life of Balthasar Bekker VII, head of the House of Bekker. The culprit is merely described as a man in thin white armor. The attack was at first believed to be a political coup, but when news of the assailant's attempted theft of the Stone of Kings reaches Lucius' ears, he immediately seeks help from a very unexpected source.

The White Knight follows Lucius Knight as he tries to juggle his feelings about Imogen, and solving the mystery behind the identity of The White Knight.

The Undying

http://www.amazon.com/The-Undying-ebook/dp/B003P2VFC2/

Book Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DV8Ge1z2fM

"The end was nothing like any one of us could have imagined it would be. Humans, with their obsession with the ultimate and inevitable conclusion of their world, had thought through every destructive doomsday scenario to be imagined.
Every scenario but the right one.
The end was not quick. The earth was not destroyed by some rogue asteroid, or a collision with a vigilante planet. It was not blasted away by the antimatter of a distant galaxy, and it definitely was not the work of a virus or plague.
The end of the world was a slow and gradual death for most of the living creatures on the face of the earth. The aftermath of man’s recklessness left the wounded planet defenseless as its shadows consumed the skies and devoured its atmosphere. It took many lifetimes to watch mother Earth breathe her last, and with her vanished our only source of replenishment.
We were forced to starve for eternity. We the immortal, we the undying."

Volume 1.

THE UNDYING is the tale of Wilhelmina Shepherd's life, from a young, innocent, wild girl growing up in Fremont, LA, to the world's most ruthless murderess. A tragic romance that spans through waging demonic wars to the extinction of mankind and beyond, The Undying is the tale of one demon's life until the end of the world.

The Little Peach King

http://www.amazon.com/The-Little-Pea...dp/B003NNUWTK/

Book Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ynI7T82PaY

Seven-year-old Spirit Morgan hates Japan. She hates their new apartment, she hates her new school, and she can’t stand the plump neighbor boy, Koichi. Spirit misses Port Aransas and living on the beach next to the friendly ‘Naturalist Commune’, which is just a nicer way of saying ‘Hippy Camp’, so she devises a plan to convince her mother and father to move back. What is her ingenious scheme, you ask?
Spirit is going to be the biggest brat she can possibly be. She beats up Koichi at school to embarrass him in front of his friends. She plays tricks on the neighbors and annoys the townsfolk. She never does her chores, she talks back to her mother, and she kicks and screams when she doesn’t get her way. But when a strange boy gives her a peach the size of a large pumpkin, she becomes involved in a witch’s scheme. The wicked witch Obaa steals Spirit’s voice, turns Koichi into a pig, and takes her mother and father into the realm of the spirits.
The Little Peach King brings old Japanese fables to light in ways never published, and will appeal to fans of epic tales similar to Hans Christian Andersen with Brothers Grimm twists. Spirit Morgan is a grounded character whom children and adults alike can sympathize with as she learns that in order to grow up she must solve her problems without using her voice to shout, and help those in need to succeed.
