Overview
Shelby Black has a secret. For the past six months, her uncle Roy has been training her to be an exorcist. But high school is hard enough without having to explain that you fight demons for a living, so Shelby keeps her extracurricular activity to herself. The last thing she wants is for her crush, Spencer, to find out what she does in her off time. And Shelby knows how to keep a secret-even a big one. Like the fact that her mom left under mysterious circumstances and it's all her fault. Shelby is hellbent on finding her mom, no matter what it-even if what it ends up costing her is her soul AND her relationship with Spencer.

Reviews
Praise for Wesley James Ruined My Life: ""The book's even pacing will entice teens from the start and keep them reading . . . . This [is a] pitch-perfect quirky summer romance."" --School Library Journal ""This book was adorable! Light, cute, and a quick read--exactly what I needed. . . . I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books by Honeybourn in the future."" --The Eater of Books ""Immensely readable, utterly charming and absolutely un-put-downable. The duality of Quinn longing to forget Wesley while hurting over being forgotten by her Gran was just beautiful. I got a little weepy. I'm not going to lie."" --Jennifer McKenzie
When Life Gives You Demons: ""This chatty, fun novel is the perfect beach read."" --VOYA ""A quick, enjoyable romance with an entertaining side portion of monster. Readers who like their high-school drama with apocalyptic stakes will eat this up."" --Booklist ""The tone is light and Shelby's first-person narration is comical . . . A rapid-paced read with plenty of action."" --School Library Journal The Do-Over: ""The Do-Over is a fantastic mash-up: Pretty in Pink meets Big meets Sliding Doors. [It] will definitely keep you on your toes and keep you guessing as you barrel your way to the end. If you're anything like me, you will not be able to put it down until you slide, breathless, into the last chapter."" --NPR ""Honeybourn infuses this lightly speculative rom-com with a compelling voice and...interesting twists."" -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Wesley James Ruined My Life: ""Honeybourn's debut is everything readers expect and want from a lighthearted summer teen romance . . . Pitch-perfect."" --School Library Journal
