The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall
Katie Alender
Delia's
new house isn't just a house. It used to be an insane asylum, a place
to lock up "troubled" young women long ago. And a restless, wicked
spirit is still at play--and it doesn't want defiant girls like Delia to
go anywhere.
So the house kills her.
Now Delia is a ghost, trapped in her creepy home forever. As she meets the other ghost girls who haunt the narrow hallways, as well as the handsome ghost boy on the grounds, she learns shocking truths about the house's history. Delia also realizes that her alive and grieving sister might be the house's next target. Can Delia unlock the mystery of the old asylum, save her sister, and free herself?

A Window Opens
Elisabeth Egan
Like
her fictional forebears Kate Reddy and Bridget Jones, Alice plays many
roles (which she never refers to as “wearing many hats” and wishes you
wouldn’t, either). She is a mostly-happily married mother of three, an
attentive daughter, an ambivalent dog-owner, a part-time editor, a loyal
neighbor and a Zen commuter. She is not: a cook, a craftswoman, a
decorator, an active PTA member, a natural caretaker or the breadwinner.
But when her husband makes a radical career change, Alice is ready to
lean in—and she knows exactly how lucky she is to land a job at Scroll, a
hip young start-up which promises to be the future of reading, with its
chain of chic literary lounges and dedication to beloved classics. The
Holy Grail of working mothers―an intellectually satisfying job and a
happy personal life―seems suddenly within reach.
Mechanica
Betsy Cornwell
But
on her sixteenth birthday, Nicolette discovers a secret workshop in the
cellar and begins to dare to imagine a new life for herself. Could the
mysterious books and tools hidden there—and the mechanical menagerie,
led by a tiny metal horse named Jules—be the key to escaping her dreary
existence? With a technological exposition and royal ball on the
horizon, the timing might just be perfect for Nicolette to earn her
freedom at last.
