Curiouser and Curiouser When a mysterious boy in robes appears during cheerleading practice, Sakura goes on the offensive with her Clear Cards—but the boy disappears as soon as Syaoran tries to help! Then Syaoran asks Sakura about the strange dreams she’s been having, but where does she even begin to explain...?

Sakura is thrilled her father has time to come to parents’ day at school, as is Akiho when Kaito agrees to go. But he doesn’t seem interested in the classes, so what is he really after? How is Sakura creating Clear Cards? And why did Yuna D. Kaito come to Tomoeda in the first place?!

After seeing all the different kinds of relationships that humans can have with persocoms, Hideki realizes that Chi is so much more to him than just a fancy piece of computer technology. Hideki finally learns the secrets behind Chi’s mysterious past, as well as the great power that she possesses—a power that poses a threat to all persocoms. With the fate of all persocoms lying in the balance, Hideki must finally answer: what does Chi mean to him, and can the two of them find happiness together?

The more people Hideki talks to, the more he learns just how gray and complicated the line between humans and persocoms is. From his former boss, Ueda, to his coworker, Yumi, and his friend, Minoru, Hideki discovers that persocoms are so much more than convenient pieces of technology. With Chi missing, and her past just as mysterious as ever, Hideki finds himself questioning what Chi really is to him—a question he’ll have to answer before it’s too late.

A spark-filled force field keeps her from getting close to Syaoran, and she even starts to sense her late mother’s presence.

Praise: "Urban fantasy has a special place in my heart, and the Occult Detective is perhaps the fundamental urban-fantasy archetype. An anthology of this kind is can serve two purposes: The first is to provide a taste of the genre to those that might otherwise be unfamiliar with it, and the second is to provide fans of the genre a chance to discover writers they may not have already come across. It was well worth the read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly for any fan of the urban fantasy/occult detective genre; even more so if you are unfamiliar with the genre and would like a taste as to what it’s all about." — Nick Bronson -- "Urban Fantasy readers will love this book, and it is a first-rate group of stories." — Paul Lappan, Reviewer

In Cathy Clamp''s Illicit, when a border dispute between two bear clans destabilizes shapeshifter relations throughout Europe and threatens to reveal their existence to humans, the Sazi High Council orders both sides to the negotiation table. The peace talks take place in Luna Lake, the American community where all shifter species--wolf, cat, bird, bear, and more--live in harmony. Diplomats, their families, and security personnel stream into town, among them Dalvin Adway, a Wolven agent. Dalvin is startled to find Rachel Washington in Luna Lake. The last time he saw her, they were children in Detroit. Then she was kidnapped and, he thought, murdered. But Rachel became an owl-shifter as a result of the attack and has avoided family and old friends ever since, knowing they would not understand her . She''s stunned to see Dalvin and learn that he, too, is an owl-shifter. Their wary friendship is on the brink of becoming something more when conspiracy and betrayal cause the peace talks to break down. The fight between the bear clans will be settled through a form of traditional challenge--a risky tactic that might lead to full-blown war. Rachel is determined to prevent that, even if it means taking up the challenge herself!
