“About DarkSkull Hall:

In a world of kings, mages and warriors, could one girl be the most powerful of all? Darkness spreads. Some will not accept it. Some will fight back…
Born into the small, peaceful country of Rionn, Alyx Egalion knows little of mages or battles. Yet soon after her sixteenth birthday, the pampered daughter of nobility has her world shattered when she learns that she is the daughter of a mage and must travel to the distant country of Tregaya to learn her magic at DarkSkull Hall.
Stripped of everything familiar to her, and surrounded by strangers she cannot trust, Alyx finds herself in a world where courage, magic and wits are the only things that will keep her alive.
And the longer she spends at DarkSkull, the more she discovers about the terrible secrets that hide her true past—secrets that challenge everything she’s ever believed in. Outside DarkSkull, the shadows are gathering and a long held peace begins to crack…

About Serenade:

Teenage heiress Kaya experiences her first taste of freedom when she’s kidnapped from her sheltered life. But as she forms an unlikely connection with her abductor, Luke, her adventure takes a strange turn. Now, as her father’s men and her devoted bodyguard scour the woods to find her, she wonders if staying in the arms of her abductor is the safer place to be. At least, that’s what her heart is saying—her head is saying run…

There is nothing magical about growing up in a mountainside castle, when it’s your prison. Kaya’s ruthless and powerful father keeps her under lock and key, watched every second of the day–and Kaya’s not really sure why. She’s just a normal girl…no one special. She doesn’t understand her father’s obsession with her safety – until she is kidnapped.

Dragged through a brutal wilderness, Kaya’s captor shows her the devastating truth, and even though he has dark secrets of his own, she is inexplicably drawn to him–when the stars are in your eyes, sometimes the line between right and wrong gets blurred. Passion obliterates common sense. Love… makes you reckless.

Dangerously passionate and darkly romantic, SERENADE is a page-turning thriller and seductive love story.

A lot can happen in a year, and that’s exactly what’s happened to Dakota this past year—a lot. He’s a junior now, and this past year’s hard work has definitely been paying off. His grades are better, and so are his sport’s results, especially wrestling. He’s got his sights set on earning a college wrestling scholarship, and has a definite plan for college and his life beyond that. It’s been a good year, but Dakota knows there’s no way he would have made this much progress if it hadn’t been for Granddaddy. Today is his birthday, and it was exactly one year ago that he spent the afternoon talking to his mysterious granddaddy. The problem is that he hasn’t seen or heard from Granddaddy since last year’s meeting, and there’s no guarantee he’s going to show up out of the blue like he had last year. Dakota’s been envisioning it though… another day where they talk about anything and everything. He’ll fill Granddaddy in on all the things he’s accomplished over the past year, and Granddaddy will share more of his secrets for winning the game of life. In fact, everything was about as perfect as it could be, until it wasn’t. In this sequel to The Storm: How Young Men Become Good Men, we catch up with Dakota’s journey and follow him as he struggles towards his goals and dreams in spite of a series of harsh realities that threaten to permanently knock him off course.

About Upside Down in a Laura Ingalls Town:

WINNER OF THE SARTON BOOK AWARD.

It has been a long and difficult year for the Decker family, especially for sixteen-year-old Brooke. Her grades have plummeted. She deliberately breaks curfew. She makes out with boys she hardly knows.

And now her father has totally lost it. When Tim Decker signs up his family of three to be contestants on a Hollywood reality show, Brooke’s life turns upside down. The place: The North Carolina backcountry. The year: 1861.

Brooke is forced to trade in her Victoria’s Secret bra for a rib-cracking corset, her comfy jeans for an ugly farm dress, and her private bathroom for an outhouse. Television cameras will follow her every move as she lives the grueling life of a mid-nineteenth-century farm girl: milking a cow, churning butter, fetching water countless times a day, and riding in a horse-drawn wagon along a rutted road to spend pennies in town.

This will be Brooke’s life for four awful months. Unless, of course, she breaks the rules and the producers kick her off the show…

Other families are scattered throughout Sweet Sugar Gap. The snotty Prudence Miller soon becomes Brooke’s rival. Wendell Murphy, who works at the local mercantile, is instantly smitten with Brooke–but also makes her suspicious. Does the only cute boy in town really like her, or is he merely showing off for the cameras?

Brooke Decker may just have to find a way to make it in the backcountry, leaving behind the modern frills she can’t live without. But can a young girl’s wishful heart surrender to a time and place she believes she can never call home?

At What Cost by J. Andersen

About At What Cost:

During her junior year, sixteen-year-old Maggie Reynolds expected to shop for prom dresses not maternity clothes. Now, instead of studying for the SATs, she’s reading, What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Maggie’s ‘Mother Dearest’ lives in fear that Maggie will somehow taint the family name, so Maggie can’t turn to her for help. Meanwhile, her father is oblivious to anything but his 9-9 job. And her boyfriend, Justin? She’s pretty sure he’ll stay by her side.

While Maggie wrestles with her options, Justin offers a solution: abortion. It would solve all her problems quickly, easily, and effectively. And her parents would never know, which means they won’t throw her out and cut her off like they’d always threatened if she got herself knocked up. But an easy decision becomes difficult when Maggie’s aunt discovers her secret and sets out on a mission to stop the abortion, putting a kink in Maggie’s plan. Now Maggie must decide which choice she can live with: abortion or teenage motherhood. Either way, it’ll be a tough road to travel.

Blood Type Infected (book one): No Future For Man by Matthew Marchon

Leave a Comment

About Blood Type Infected (book one): No Future For Man:

What kind of self-respecting zombie can be stopped with a bullet to the brain?

This isn’t your typical, whining little weakling trying to navigate his way through a zombie infested dystopian society. This is the epicenter of the outbreak, where your average novel doesn’t dare venture. This is Noah Britton fighting his way through the heart of the zombie freakin’ apocalypse.

The high school is on lockdown but the infection has already invaded its borders. It’s too late. Screams echo through the halls, blood stains the lockers, the dead don’t die for long. Mutilated, half eaten corpses wander the halls in search of the living. These aren’t your normal slow moving corpses that trudge along hoping for victims. No. They run faster. Fight harder. Know no pain. Show no weakness. Offer no reprieve.

Noah must make the ultimate sacrifice and decide who to save and who to leave behind. What ranks higher in these desperate times; friendship or strategy? Can old rivals put aside their differences and work together for the greater good or will human emotions lead to the end of the world as we know it?

The edge of your seat intensity never dies as Noah, his neurotic bus driver, his best friends, his worst enemies, the girl he likes, the girl he hates or loves or who the hell even knows anymore and a power hungry rival desperate for control all try to co-inhabit a school bus in search of a safe haven that may no longer exist.

Gruesome. Intense. Graphic and Brutally violent. Yet emotionally driven with enough heart to sustain a dying species taken off life support. The characters tear themselves from the pages, forcing their way into your heart, demanding you continue when it all gets to be too much. This is hope. This is strength. This is the end. And it’s only the beginning.

Falling Faster by Jaime Leah Marchon

About Falling Faster:

Overthinking, 16 year old, Elli Matthews has finally given up on her maybe, sort of, sometimes boyfriend. Sometimes as in he only likes her when no one else is around. Flirting in private and completely ignoring her in public is not the way to a girl’s heart. She’s closing that chapter of her life while Eric is busy grasping for any reason to be alone with her so he can finally tell her how he feels. Too little too late? When Eric’s best friend shows interest, in public, with people watching, lots of people, what girl could resist a little harmless flirting? Only, hanging out with Jagger may not be so harmless. He’s not exactly a one girl kind of guy. Drunken one night stands are more his style but for a chick like Elli, he just might be willing to change his ways. Hold on, does this mean Eric is single? Jenna sure hopes so because she’s sick of trying not to fall completely and totally in love with him behind her best friend’s back. Hmmm, Elli may be over Eric ‘cause she’s totally under Jagger, but how would she feel about her bestie and her exie getting together? Wait, who likes who now? Friendships take a backseat to relationships and some of them may never recover. High school love is so confusing. It’s a good thing all of them take you along on their journeys. Four perspectives. One story. One happily ever after. …For now.

About Parallel University:

Hazel Ashwell is from Bridgecrest—better known as RICHcrest— where the cars are big, the houses are bigger, and absolutely no one looks like her because she’s black. She doesn’t even blend in with her own family.
Hazel was adopted three days after her birth. Her privileged lifestyle is all she’s ever known. It’s her normal. It’s almost as if she doesn’t know how to be black or what that even means. Her parents have been able to afford piano instructors, ballet classes, equestrian lessons, and everything else in between. Unfortunately, “How to Be Black” classes aren’t offered in Bridgecrest.
Hazel has always been confused about who she’s supposed to be. Is she supposed to act a certain way? Look a certain way? Talk a certain way? She won’t find that answer in Bridgecrest.
Even though she wouldn’t trade her lavish lifestyle or the people in it for anything, Hazel decides to enroll in an HBCU to get a crash course in black culture. The second she steps foot on campus, she realizes she has a lot to learn. Lancrey University instantly becomes her parallel universe. Class is in session.
