Armed
with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life
outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber
Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been
for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before
she has the chance to offer her gratitude.
Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn't risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move.

After
fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to
repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the
Unified Realm. Except, to accomplish her goals, she must do more than
rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once
found repugnant—those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the
Dark—and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep.
Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named Battle Lord of the Realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail—a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power which has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent…

Seventeen-year-old
Stevie is trapped. In her life. In her body. And now in an
eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New
Mexico desert.
Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at mealtime, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she’s worked so hard to avoid.
Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn't plan to stay that long. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh’s death—the death she caused. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she too will end her life.

Society

relatives, find proper husbands, and—most terrifyingly—learn the deep
family secrets of The Claw, The Wing, and The Smoke. The Florescus,

fulfill the prophecy that demands their acceptance of this fate... or

The Unnoticeables: A Novel
Robert Brockway
There
are angels, and they are not beneficent or loving. But they do watch
over us. They watch our lives unfold, analyzing us for repeating
patterns and redundancies. When they find them, the angels simplify
those patterns, they remove the redundancies, and the problem that is
you gets solved.
Carey doesn’t much like that idea. As a punk living in New York City, 1977, Carey is sick and tired of watching the strange kids with the unnoticeable faces abduct his friends. He doesn’t care about the rumors of tarmonsters in the sewers, or unkillable psychopaths invading the punk scene—all he wants is drink cheap beer and dispense asskickings.
Kaitlyn isn’t sure what she’s doing with her life. She came to Hollywood in 2013 to be a stunt woman, but last night a former teen heartthrob tried to eat her, her best friend has just gone missing, and there’s an angel outside her apartment.
