Yours Truly, Della Coleman: Case One: The Grunch

By Amelia Rose Rikstad

Delphee 'Della' Coleman has spent her whole life believing in everything and everyone that was a little weird and different. . . even though the rest of the world couldn't extend the same courtesy. She grew up thinking she was meant to understand, not understood. Focusing on researching the weird and wonderful and devoting her free time to the followers on her conspiracy blog instead of forming friendships turned her heart a little colder than everyone else. When she receives a letter that offers her a job at The Utopian Courier, a conspiracy newspaper, her world spins upside down. Vampires run apartment buildings, witches own secret bars, and the prospect of friendship is forced into her life. But is this strange new life all it is cracked up to be? Porter Garroway looks like your stereotypical bad-boy. Right down to the way he dresses. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, he is the softest of souls. . . and the most damaged. Day drinking and pretending his problems don't exist is his favorite past time. When a girl with bright green hair stumbles into his world, will he let his walls down and let her help him? Maximillian McGregor-Mavericks was the 'boy who couldn't.' Being horribly bullied in school, losing his best friend, and being forced to be the one thing he can't wrap his IQ around has made him less than friendly. He thinks his life can't get any worse. . . or any better. Will his newfound friends help him see that he truly is loved?

Magic isn't always black white, the villain isn't always to blame, and everything you do comes at a cost. Can Della and the boys find the real evil? Or were they better off living in the haze of their own problems?
