So when she receives a magical locket that enables her to travel through time (!!!), Autumn hopes she can correct all her past mistakes�with her friends, with boys�and maybe even prevent her dad from dying. But the locket doesn’t work that way.

Melissa de la Cruz Wraps Up 'Witches Of East End' Questions In New Short Story (JJJ Book Club Exclusive)

Raise your hand if you were seriously bummed that Lifetime’s Witches of East End was canceled after just two seasons! Yea, us too…

Good thing that author Melissa de la Cruz LOVES us and gave JJJ the exclusive opportunity to share an excerpt from short story she wrote that will tie up all the loose ends.

The story will also be featured in Melissa’s upcoming novel, “Triple Moon”, which hits shelves on November 10th.

“Triple Moon”, a Summer on East End novel, centers on twin witches Mardi and Molly Overbrook, who after they cause a terrible accident at their old high school, are sent to live with their “Aunt” Ingrid Beauchamp in North Hampton, on Long Island’s mist-shrouded East End. Unable to control their powers, their father begs Ingrid to tame them over the summer, before the White Council exiles the girls to Limbo.

Trouble continues to bubble and boil when the girls meet the younger Gardiner boys, who are just as handsome and sexy as their older kin. But all is not as it seems. As Ingrid helps the girls learn to control their magical impulses, Mardi and Molly have just this summer to figure out how to grow up, how to love, and how to be a family.

We've Got An Exclusive First Read Of 'Everybody Knows Your Name' By Andrea Seigel & Brent Bradshaw!

The JJJ Book Club is loving all these first reads we’re getting and we have to share the latest with you all — “Everybody Knows Your Name” by Andrea Seigel and Brent Bradshaw!

In the new book from the Laggies writers, Magnolia comes from a McMansion where her leopard print-clad mother’s primary goal is snagging a spot on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Ford comes from a trailer park in middle-of-nowhere Arkansas, where his family is best known for their record number of DUIs. The two teens have nothing in common, except a dream of escaping their backgrounds and making names for themselves. That’s where Spotlight comes in, a reality TV show singing competition that’s like a cross between The Real World and American Idol.

Now Magnolia and Ford, along with a dozen other aspiring stars, are living together in a Hollywood mansion and singing their hearts out to the American public. As the weeks go by and the number of housemates dwindles, Magnolia and Ford begin to fall in love. But how genuine can that love be when camera are watching their every move, and when their pasts are catching up to them so much faster than they can run?

“Everybody Knows Your Name” is on shelves March 10th!
