ABOUT
Cousins Sam, Lily, and Jordan meet up on family vacation every year. This year, their grandmother is paying for them to stay at Paradise, an exclusive tropical resort!
Paradise offers a gorgeous beach, multiple pools, all-you-can-eat buffets, and any adventure you can imagine. The kids can come and go as they please, while their parents zone out at the beach. It's supposed to be fire.
But in this place where the other guests all seem like billionaires and celebrities, the cousins start acting like people they're not. They test new identities, break some rules, and start to mingle with other kids who should raise red flags.
Pretty soon the trio is beginning to see another side of this gleaming resort.
And as the resort's many secrets come into focus . . . family secrets start coming to the surface, too.
Book Two in the series expected Fall 2028.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
