Title: The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle #1)
Author: Maggie Stiefvater
“There are only two
reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said.
“Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every
year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the
soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this
year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His
name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at
Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away
from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But
Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it
all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much
more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven
Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege
around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and
Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but
says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been
warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this
would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the
strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races,
comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and
the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before.

Title: Incarnation
Author: Emma Cornwall
In the steampunk world of Victorian London, a beautiful vampire seeks out the author of Dracula–to
set the record straight . . . If one is to believe Bram Stoker’s
legendary vampire tale, Lucy Weston is Dracula’s most wanton creation, a
sexual creature of the night who preys on innocent boys. But the
real-life Lucy is nothing like her fictional counterpart—and she demands
to know why the Victorian author deliberately lied. With Stoker’s
reluctant help, she’s determined to track down the very fiend who
transformed her—from the sensual underworld where humans vie to become
vampires, to a hidden cell beneath a temple to madness, and finally into
the glittering Crystal Palace where death reigns supreme.
Haunted
by fragmentary memories of her lost life and love, Lucy must battle her
thirst for blood as she struggles to stop a catastrophic war that will
doom vampires and humans alike. Ultimately, she must make a choice that
illuminates for her—and for us—what it means to be human.

Title: Cursed
Author: Jennifer Armentrout
Dying sucks-- and high
school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car
accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember

Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift,
she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help
control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember
has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister
reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out.
However,
she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell,
she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember
learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not have been an
accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead,
and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not
only her heart, but her life. For real this time.

Title: Adaptation (Adaptation #1)
Author: Malinda Lo
Reese can’t remember
anything from the time between the accident and the day she woke up
almost a month later. She only knows one thing: She’s different now.
Across
North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing
at least a dozen to crash. Thousands of people die. Fearing terrorism,
the United States government grounds all flights, and millions of
travelers are stranded.
Reese and her debate team partner and
longtime crush David are in Arizona when it happens. Everyone knows the
world will never be the same. On their drive home to San Francisco,
along a stretch of empty highway at night in the middle of Nevada, a
bird flies into their headlights. The car flips over. When they wake up
in a military hospital, the doctor won’t tell them what happened, where
they are—or how they’ve been miraculously healed.
Things become
even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco feels like a
different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat teams collecting
dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to be following her. When
Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search
for the truth is forced in an entirely new direction—and threatens to
expose a vast global conspiracy that the government has worked for
decades to keep secret.

she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they

caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . .

quarters until she learns her place. Just as she begins to let go of all
that hope, she finds an unlikely friend in Jack, the faerie assigned to

together.
