An unforgettable journey into our ancient past, containing powerful lessons to learn about our future.Today there are 20 million species on our planet. Yet what we see is just a snapshot in time. 99% of earth's inhabitants are lost to our deep past.

Marcus is a Cupid. Lena is a Reaper. Opposites attract in the exciting new Switched At First Kiss series by the acclaimed author ofThe Dirt Diary. Dared to kiss the adorkable Marcus Torelli at a party, Lena thinks it's the perfect opportunity to cross First Kiss off her list of "Things to Accomplish Before I Turn Fourteen."It's only when she gets sent on an assignment the next day she realizes something went horribly wrong.

And Marcus turns out to be a supernatural matchmaker (like cupid, but without the diaper).Now logical Lena finds herself with the love touch, and sweet, sentimental Marcus has death at his fingertips. The truth is that Lena should never have taken that dare...because one little kiss has Lena and Marcus in a whole lotta trouble.Praise for Anna Staniszewski's The Dirt Diar

The untold true story of the serial killer who terrorized Cape Cod and captivated a nationIn the winter of 1969, the bodies of four young women were discovered in a cemetery near the tip of Cape Cod.
