Swallow
by Samantha Smith, edited by Jen Hale
Revenge is a dish best served cold. The students at Roanoke High School
have created a soundtrack that runs constantly in Mildred Waco's mind . . .
Change your hair, Mildred. Change your face, Mildred. Change your body,
Mildred. Everyone hates you, Mildred. Are you really going to wear that,
Mildred? The stares, the snickers, the constant teasing - combined with
Mildred's own self-doubt and absentee parents - takes its toll. Stumbling upon
the Crossroads Magicks shop, Mildred decides she will no longer simply
endure the bullying and skeptically buys a revenge curse. But when she
begins to lose her memory and Roanoke students are found brutally
murdered, Mildred realizes that she may have bought more than she
bargained for. With time running out, Mildred will have to stop the terrible
forces she's unleashed or lose her soul forever.

by Rachel Meinke
The worst summer of her life has one seriously hot perk . . . These days,
everything in Katelyn Jackson's life revolves around her pop star brother. His
schedule, his tour, his fans - it's like Connor Jackson's become the center of
the universe. And this summer, it's going to get a lot worse. The entire family
is going on tour, and Katelyn's now officially part of her brother's entourage."
Un-freaking-believable. Goodbye soccer team, goodbye friends,goodbye any
kind of life. But Katelyn's not the only one going on tour with her brother. The
opening act is her favorite band ever - Skyline. Which includes lead singer
Zach Matthews, whose deep, caramel eyes seem to make Katelyn's heart
pound about a zillion beats per minute. Don't mind me, I'm just fangirling here.
And somewhere between the endless bus rides and cruddy room service
food, there's some serious chemistry fizzing between Katelyn and Zach. Only,
it feels a little too amazing to be real. . . When Connor Jackson's reputation
and career are threatened - and all of Katelyn's soccer dreams are on the line
- Katelyn's world suddenly feels like it's on the verge of collapse. And she
must decide whether she's just Connor Jackson's kid sister, tagging along for

Homewrecker
by Deanna Cameron
They say it is quietest in the eye of a storm. . . they lied. Bronwyn's mother
is late. Again. Sitting on the edge of the sidewalk, waiting, Bronwyn figures
she's flaked out again. She's always flaking out. Stomping home ready for a
fight, Bronwyn is met by a cataclysmic tornado heading directly toward their
run-down trailer. Bronwyn barely escapes with her life. Her mother isn't as
lucky. Enter Senator Soliday, a.k.a. Bronwyn's estranged father, who shows
up at the hospital and takes her home with him, to a family she's never been a
part of, to people who have proved again and again they don't want her.
Confused, resentful, absolutely raging, Bronwyn enters a world she's never
been privy to, while reeling from the news that her mother wasn't killed by the
tornado but murdered. Torn between two identities: the daughter of a single
drug addict and the middle child of a well-respected senator, Bronwyn is
forced to navigate through this new, unfamiliar life alone and with a gut feeling
she can't shake. Her mother's killer isn't unfamiliar.

Creatures of the Night
by Grace Collins
Night is coming, and so are they. Milena's twentieth birthday, the day she
would join the ranks of her village's hunters, should have been the most
exciting day of her life. Being a hunter meant she would be able to help
protect her village from the murderous wolves who take human form - the
creatures of the night. But a chance encounter with Elias, the enigmatic leader
of the creatures, leaves her questioning everything she has ever believed to
be true. Up until now, Elias has managed to protect the creatures of the night
and keep the secrets of his past well hidden. Now, as tensions between the
groups grow, Elias is forced to make hard decisions: ones that will cost lives.
Nobody is safe, especially Milena, the person he is inexplicably drawn to even
though it could destroy them both. Equal parts suspense, mystery, and
romance, Creatures of the Night captures the struggle between learning to
trust your instincts and each other.

The Hoodie Girl
by Yuen Wright
My hoodie is freakishly oversized. It covers my body in a way that
makes me feel comfortable. Safe. Invisible. Wren Martin isn't what you
would call a popular girl. She is remarkably average, gets good grades, and
aspires to get a scholarship to her dream college and leave her hometown, as
it's filled with impossible memories. Asher Reed - star athlete and heartthrob
of Eastview High - is everything wrong with high school in one frustratingly
good-looking body. But when an on-field accident leaves him sidelined for the
season, he takes an interest in Wren. With an undeniable connection, Wren
and Asher form a friendship that quickly turns into something more. Yuen
Wright's heartwarming debut is a reminder that when someone really sees
you, the last thing you want is to be invisible.

The Opposite of Falling Apart
by Micah Good, edited by Jane Warren
To get back up, first you have to fall. It's the last summer before college,
and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home
avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life.
Because for him nothing is normal - not since The Accident. Brennan Davis's
anxiety rules her everyday life. She knows she has to get a handle on the
debilitating dread that stops her from being fully in the world. College isjust
around the corner - where the pressures are only going to grow worse. When
Jonas crashes into Brennan - in a harmless, yet embarrassing fender bender -
the two teens forge an unexpected friendship that evolves into more. And they
soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to
start. Debut author Micah Good has penned a sensitive, wry, and
enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that
make us unique, whole, and undeniablyhuman.
