Descendant of the Crane by Joan He
“Princess
Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown,
but when her beloved father is murdered, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the
queen of an unstable kingdom. Determined to find her father’s killer, Hesina
does something desperate: she engages the aid of a soothsayer—a treasonous act,
punishable by death… because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago.
Using the information illicitly provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can
trust even her family, Hesina turns to Akira—a brilliant and alluring
investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. With the
future of her kingdom at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will
the cost be too high?
In this shimmering Chinese-inspired fantasy, debut author Joan He introduces a
determined and vulnerable young heroine struggling to do right in a world
brimming with deception.”
The Red Scrolls of Magic (The Eldest Curses #1) by Cassandra Clare
“All
Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation—a lavish trip across Europe with Alec
Lightwood, the Shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. But
as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a
demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos
around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. Years
ago. As a joke.
Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and
its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage. As if it
wasn’t bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are
now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from
foe. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will
have to trust each other more than ever—even if it means revealing the secrets
they’ve both been keeping.”
Every Moment After by Joseph Moldover
“Surviving
was just the beginning.
Eleven years after a shooting rocked the small town of East Ridge, New Jersey
and left eighteen first graders in their classroom dead, survivors and recent
high school graduates Matt Simpson and Cole Hewitt are still
navigating their guilt and trying to move beyond the shadow of their
town’s grief. Will Cole and Matt ever be able to truly leave the ghosts of East
Ridge behind? Do they even want to?
As they grapple with changing relationships, falling in love, and growing
apart, these two friends must face the question of how to move on—and
truly begin living. “

How to Make Friends with the Dark by Kathleen Glasgow
“Here
is what happens when your mother dies.
It’s the brightest day of summer and it’s dark outside. It’s dark in your
house, dark in your room, and dark in your heart. You feel like the darkness is
going to split you apart.
That’s how it feels for Tiger. It’s always been Tiger and her mother against
the world. Then, on a day like any other, Tiger’s mother dies. And now it’s
Tiger, alone.
Here is how you learn to make friends with the dark.”
Through the White Wood by Jessica Leake
“The Bear and the Nightingale meets Frostblood in this lushly romantic and intensely imaginative historical fantasy from the author of Beyond a Darkened Shore!
When Katya loses control of her power to freeze, her villagers banish her to the palace of the terrifying Prince Sasha in Kiev. Expecting punishment, she is surprised to find instead that Sasha is just like her—with the ability to summon fire. Sasha offers Katya friendship and the chance to embrace her power rather than fear it.
But outside the walls of Kiev, Sasha’s enemies are organizing an army of people bent on taking over the entire world.
Together, Katya’s and Sasha’s powers are a fearsome weapon. But as their enemies draw nearer, will fire and frost be enough to save the world? Or will Katya and Sasha lose everything they hold dear?”
When Summer Ends by Jessica Pennington
“Aiden Emerson is an all-star pitcher and the all-around golden boy of Riverton. Or at least he was, before he quit the team the last day of junior year without any explanation. How could he tell people he’s losing his vision at seventeen?
Straight-laced Olivia thought she had life all figured out. But when her dream internship falls apart, her estranged mother comes back into her life, and her long-time boyfriend ghosts her right before summer break, she’s starting to think fate has a weird sense of humor.
Each struggling to find a new direction, Aiden and Olivia decide to live summer by chance. Every fleeting adventure and stolen kiss is as fragile as a coin flip in this heartfelt journey to love and self-discovery from the author of Love Songs & Other Lies.”
