Grade A Stupid
Summary
AN AMAZON #1 BEST-SELLER IN TEENS MYSTERIES & THRILLERS, SPIES AND DETECTIVE STORIES! Skipping class can be deadly… Fifteen-year-old Darcy Walker’s name means "dark walker." Whether her parents’ choice was a stroke of genius or smack of stupid, they definitely nailed the irony. She lacks direction. Distracts easily. And despite a high IQ, her grades stink. Valley High’s reigning misfit, she’s also infatuated with a bad boy. A guy that her hottie best friend, Dylan, wishes would get acquainted with his fist. With her life spiraling out of control, she cuts class and stumbles upon a corpse in a dumpster. From there, things go high-octane because in a world full of nouns, Darcy’s a verb. Hardwired for action, she gets caught up in the middle of the mystery and can’t let go. When the school’s biggest nerd is arrested for the crime, Darcy goes Mach 1 trying to clear his name. Constructing aliases. Breaking the law. Dodging gangbangers who want her dead. Everything that makes perfect sense to her, but reeks of Grade A Stupid to everyone else. Trouble is...will she live to see sixteen? Readers call the Darcy Walker Series Stephanie Plum meets Veronica Mars meets The Blacklist.

Midnight Brunch
Summary
“Hilarious. Acosta’s heroine is fresh and sassy…all the characters are worth watching.” (Romantic Times) "Modern-day vampires, mystery, romance, and a lot of sassy humor, and you have a book you can't put down!" (Contra Costa Times) "An addictive combo plate of romance and vamp satire." (Publishers Weekly) Funny, sexy aspiring writer Milagro De Los Santos thinks she's finally found love and a home at the California ranch of fabulous Oswald Grant, MD, and his snobby relatives, who have a rare genetic disorder that some call vampirism.

When Milagro's life is threatened, she flees to the desert to hide and work on a screenplay. Instead of solitude, she encounters an egomaniacal actor, a partying socialite, a sly tabloid reporter, and a lavish spa full of dark secrets. Now all she has to do is finish her screenplay, ambush a world domination movement, and overcome a terrible infection before she can make her way back to Casa Dracula.
