BETHANY NEAL: MY LAST KISS
"Bethany Neal's suspenseful debut novel is about the power of first love and the haunting lies that threaten to tear it apart."
What if your last kiss was with the wrong boy? Cassidy
Haines remembers her first kiss vividly. It was on the old covered
bridge the summer before her freshman year with her boyfriend of three
years, Ethan Keys. But her last kiss - the one she shared with someone at
her seventeenth birthday party the night she died - is a blur. Cassidy
is trapped in the living world, not only mourning the loss of her human
body, but left with the grim suspicion that her untimely death wasn't a
suicide as everyone assumes. She can't remember anything from the weeks
leading up to her birthday and she's worried that she may have betrayed
her boyfriend. If Cassidy is to uncover the truth about that
fateful night and make amends with the only boy she'll ever love, she
must face her past and all the decisions she made--good and bad--that
led to her last kiss. (goodreads.com)
SARAH OCKLER: #SCANDAL
"A private, high school senior gets an unwanted turn in the spotlight when a Facebook scandal goes viral after prom."
Lucy’s learned some important lessons from tabloid darling Jayla Heart’s
all-too-public blunders: Avoid the spotlight, don’t feed the Internet
trolls, and keep your secrets secret. The policy has served Lucy well
all through high school, so when her best friend Ellie gets sick before
prom and begs her to step in as Cole’s date, she accepts with a smile,
silencing about ten different reservations. Like the one where she’d
rather stay home shredding online zombies. And especially the one where she’s been secretly in love with Cole since the dawn of time. When
Cole surprises her at the after-party with a kiss under the stars, it’s
everything Lucy has ever dreamed of…and the biggest BFF dealbreaker
ever. But before they get the chance to ’fess up to Ellie, Lucy’s own
Facebook profile mysteriously explodes with compromising photos of her
and Cole, along with tons of other students’ party indiscretions.
Tagged. Liked. And furiously viral. By Monday morning, Lucy’s
been branded a slut, a backstabber, and a narc mired in a tabloid-worthy
scandal, just weeks before graduation. Lucy’s been battling
undead masses online long enough to know that there’s only one way to
survive a disaster of this magnitude: Stand up and fight. There’s just
one snag—Cole. Turns out Lucy’s not the only one who’s been harboring
unrequited love… (amazon.de)

"Trust nothing and no one as you race toward the explosive conclusion of this gripping psychological thriller."
Two years ago,
sixteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh of relief when a judge
sentenced his older sister to juvenile detention for burning down their

drinking. And stealing. And lying. Like playing weird mind games in the
woods with other children. Like making sure she always got her way. Or
else. But today Cate got out. And now she’s coming back for Jamie. Because
more than anything, Cate Henry needs her little brother to know the
truth about their past. A truth she’s kept hidden for years. A truth
she’s not supposed to tell. (goodreads.com)

was the sole witness. Her father has moved them inland, away from the

her father brings Callie and him back to the coast, to Florida, where
Callie’s symptoms miraculously disappear. For once, life seems
delightfully normal. But the ocean’s edge offers more than healing air …

chilly, watery embrace that claimed her mother. Returned to the ocean,

generations of secrets and very few happy endings. (goodreads.com)
H.A. SWAIN: HUNGRY
"H. A. Swain delivers an adventure that is both epic and fast-paced. Get ready to be Hungry."
In the future, food is no longer necessary—until Thalia begins to feel something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She’s hungry. In
Thalia’s world, there is no need for food—everyone takes medication (or
“inocs”) to ward off hunger. It should mean there is no more famine, no
more obesity, no more food-related illnesses, and no more war. At least
that's what her parents, who work for the company that developed the
inocs, say. But when Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground
movement to bring food back, she realizes that most people live a life
much different from hers. Worse, Thalia is starting to feel hunger, and
so is he—the inocs aren’t working. Together they set out to find the
only thing that will quell their hunger: real food. (goodreads.com)
