And their doom comes swiftly. It
was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party
on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for
being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor)
and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled
luxury. But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and
what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a
DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine. Suddenly
people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from
the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry
that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more
violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before
more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever
imagine?

“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.

I should not exist. But I do.
Eva
and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven
together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they
learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did
the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them
fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their
parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and
Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t . . .
For the past
three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows
she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they
discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are
unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are
caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . .
for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.

Pop quiz: What would you do if you had to solve your own murder to get anywhere in death?
Maybe if I hadn't slept through my alarm, slammed into Kristin--my high school's reigning mean
girl--or
stepped in a puddle, destroying my mom's new suede DVF boots (which I
borrowed without asking), I wouldn't have been in the wrong place at the
wrong time, and I wouldn't have been pushed in front of that arriving
train. But I did, and I was.
When I came to, I was informed by a
group of girls that I'm dead. And that because I died under mysterious
circumstances, I can't pass straight over to the Other Side. But at
least I'm not alone. Meet the Dead Girls Detective Agency: Nancy, Lorna,
and Tess--not to mention Edison, the really cute if slightly hostile
dead boy. Apparently, the only way out of this limbo is to figure out
who killed me, or I'll have to spend eternity playing Nancy Drew.
Considering I was fairly invisible in life, who could hate me enough to
want me dead? And what if my murderer is someone I never would have
suspected?

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

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.

A DYING LAND
The
Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island
nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork
industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The
skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the
great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have departed forever.
AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST
The
hunters of Shima’s imperial court are charged by their Shōgun to
capture a thunder tiger—a legendary creature, half-eagle, half-tiger.
But any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a century,
and the price of failing the Shōgun is death.
A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL
Yukiko
is a child of the Fox clan, possessed of a talent that if discovered,
would see her executed by the Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on
the Shōgun’s hunt, she finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in
Shima’s last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for
company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved
his life, all she knows for certain is he’d rather see her dead than
help her.
But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire.
