Publisher's summary
The trains are not what they seem
Eighteen-year-old Filipino American Ruby Santos has been unmoored since her mother’s death. She’s always dreamed of going to art school, but instead, she and her father have had to move into the basement of their home and rent out the main floor while they work to pay back her mother’s hospital bills.
Then Ruby finds out her father has been living a secret life as a delivery person for a magical underworld—he “jumps” train lines to help deliver packages for a powerful family. Recently, he’s fallen behind on deliveries (and deeper into a fog of alcohol), and if his debts aren’t satisfied, they’re going to take her mother’s house. So Ruby volunteers to take over her dad’s contract and start jumping train lines herself. But this is no ordinary job.
Ruby soon realizes that the trains are much more than doors to romance and adventure: They’re also doors to trafficking illicit goods and the sites of fierce rivalries. As she becomes more entangled with the magical underworld and the mysterious, way-too-handsome boy who’s helping her to learn magic, she realizes too late that she may be in over her head.
Critic reviews
“Prepare yourself for nuanced characterization, aching romance, and a slick underground world that you’ve never seen before … just don’t get too close to the tracks.”—Emily J. Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel Magnifique

Story
Gideon lowers his eye to the telescope lens, turns a dial, sees, collapses. Awakes concussed and rushes to the city square to announce his discovery: massive structures on another planet. Impossible without intelligence. He is burned at the stake for heresy. Will Lark is losing his mind. He's obsessed with a door on a roof of the apartment building next to his in San Francisco, thinks he's being followed, thinks the moon is swollen and likely to drop out of the sky. His dreams have been menacing and arguably prophetic.

Jake Adlar's goals in life were simple—possibly nonexistent. All he wanted was to fly a desk. Hence, he'd joined the Space Force, the service with the most extensive array of Earth-side clerical specialties. All he needed to make him happy was an office, a computer, his favorite coffee mug, and a never-ending pile of requisitions.

Story
Dr. Mick Strong has bought himself something unusual for his seventy-fifth birthday: a LifeTime projection. This new tech crunches data including your medical history, diet, and lifestyle to predict how much—or little—time you’ve got left. That’s all well and good, but he’s also bought them for his daughter, his grandchildren, and even his eleven-year-old great-grandson. He wants them each to wait until their next birthday to use the app. But whether they scoff at it, sneak an early look, desperately turn into a health nut, or die before their appointed time, the gift is wreaking havoc.
