Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City

Union Rescue Mission’s 7th Annual Over the Edge event invites thrill seekers, community champions, churches, families, teams, and supporters from across Los Angeles to come together for an unforgettable experience with life changing impact.
Following a $75 registration fee, participants commit to fundraising $1,000 to support people and families experiencing homelessness, for the opportunity to rappel 25 stories down the side of the Universal Hilton Hotel. If the amount isn't reached, attendees agree to cover the remaining difference. More than a thrill, it is a chance to turn courage into compassion and help their unhoused neighbors move toward safety, healing, stability, and the way home.
87 cents of every dollar raised supports life transforming programs and services, and every contribution helps create new beginnings for people and families across Los Angeles.

JENNIFER J. CHOW, Tell-Tale Treats
Is Felicity to blame when a hotel guest drowns after eating her enchanted cookies? Felicity Jin returns in the third installment of the Magical Fortune Cookie series.
A group of high school alumnae reunite years later and reserve rooms at Pixie Inn for an extended retreat. As part of their pampering package, Felicity delivers a scrumptious assortment of enchanted pastries, including her new almond cookies.
But the queen bee of the group is soon found dead in her bathroom, drowned in the tub, and she recently sampled the delicious baked goods. Could Felicity’s almond cookies have set off a fatal nut allergy? The enchanted pastries are supposed to bring joy, not sorrow—and certainly not death.
Boyfriend, Kelvin Love, is eager to assist, although odd things have been happening to his senses ever since he baked with Felicity. Will his extra sensitivity help or hinder the investigation? Plus, special bunny Whiskers lends a magical paw to the detecting since Felicity can’t and won’t relax until she restores both order and magic to her world.
KEMPER DONOVAN, Sweet Spot
The&nbsp;USA Today&nbsp;bestselling host of the “All About Agatha” podcast injects the spark and fizz of a Golden Age Murder Mystery into the present day, as a ghostwriter-turned-sleuth must find a devious killer...
For Belle Currer—as the ghostwriter extraordinaire prefers to be known—Genevieve Caraway’s memoir is an irresistible project, a tale of tragedy overcome. At 14, Genevieve was abducted from her bedroom by a couple and held hostage for three months. She’s now a happily married mother with a flourishing career, a poster child for thriving after trauma. Still, the scars haven’t entirely faded.
Genevieve’s lavish Utah home, “Sweet Spot,” is a guarded compound impregnable to outsiders—theoretically, at least. But Belle’s arrival coincides with the parole of Deirdre Gregory, one of Genevieve’s kidnappers. When Deirdre shows up at Sweet Spot begging to see Genevieve, she is refused. The next day, Deirdre’s dead body is found on the grounds.
Remember, it’s always fun at The Carnival!
