Greg had started looking around the cafeteria, and everywhere he looked, he saw quarters. He saw kids trading quarters for ice-cream sandwiches and cupcakes and cookies at the dessert table.

Because young Greg Kenton had decided that school would be an excellent place to make his fortune.

All Margie Majors ever wanted was the mythical American dream she was taught to want: a hard-working husband, a house in a place that had neighborhood BBQs, a white picket fence, two kids, and a dog. Instead, she got “destiny.” Hers was to be a plus-sized, day-drinking, foul-mouthed, bisexual, retired vampire slayer with crushing debt and no idea what to do with the rest of her life.

Even though it’s nice being back with her friends at Meadow Wood, Vic still can’t forget about the secret reason her mom wanted her and her brother out of the house - or how much her family is going to change. When her home life is blowing up, it can be hard to focus on campfires and canoeing.

Bud Collins can't win at anything. His daughter calls him a loser, his ex is taking him to the cleaners, and he can't beat his bookie.

Bud suddenly sees a way to make a fortune and turn his miserable life around, if he doesn’t destroy it first, because there are people like the greedy loan shark, the deranged hit man, and a wicked cast of others who don’t want him to succeed at all costs.
