Runaway by Suzan Colon

Smallville, YA, #8 SUPERHERO, YOUNG ADULT If you've ever had one of those days where nothing goes right and it seems like the entire world - even your closest friend - is against you, then you know how Clark Kent feels. There's only one thing he can think to do: leave his family, friends, and home in Smallville and try to make a new life in Metropolis. In the big city, Clark finds a band of other runaways, including a girl who seems to have powers as mysterious as his own: She senses his secrets and somehow knows he's different from anyone else in this world. And even though Clark thinks he's left his troubles behind, his presence in Metropolis starts a chain of events that could lead to more danger than even he can handle.

The Others, #3 URBAN FANTASY The Others freed the  cassandra sangue  to protect the blood prophets from exploitation, not realizing their actions would have dire consequences. Now the fragile seers are in greater danger than ever before—both from their own weaknesses and from those who seek to control their divinations for wicked purposes. In desperate need of answers, Simon Wolfgard, a shape-shifter leader among the Others, has no choice but to enlist blood prophet Meg Corbyn’s help, regardless of the risks she faces by aiding him.

But Others and humans alike need answers, and her visions may be Simon’s only hope of ending the conflict.

The Others, #4 URBAN FANTASY For centuries, the Others and humans have lived side by side in uneasy peace.

Some, like Simon Wolfgard, wolf shifter and leader of the Lakeside Courtyard, and blood prophet Meg Corbyn, see the new, closer companionship as beneficial—both personally and practically.

What they don’t realize is that there are older and more dangerous forces than shifters and vampires protecting the land that belongs to the Others...
