ALISON CHERRY: FOR REAL
No parents. No limits. No clue what they're in for. Shy,
cautious Claire has always been in her confident older sister's shadow.

adventures, Claire gets her thrills vicariously by watching people live
large on reality TV. When Miranda discovers her boyfriend, Samir,
cheating on her just before her college graduation, it's Claire who
comes up with the perfect plan. They'll outshine Miranda's fame-obsessed
ex while having an amazing summer by competing on Around the World, a
race around the globe for a million bucks. Revenge + sisterly bonding =
awesome. But the show has a twist, and Claire is stunned to find
herself in the middle of a reality-show romance that may or may not be
just for the cameras. This summer could end up being the highlight of
her life... or an epic fail forever captured on film. In a world where
drama is currency and manipulation is standard, how can you tell what's
for real? (goodreads.com)

ALEXIS BASS: LOVE & OTHER THEORIES
If you want more, you have to give less. That’s
the secret to dating in high school. By giving as little as they expect
to get in return, seventeen-year-old Aubrey Housing and her three best
friends have made it to the second semester of their senior year
heartbreak-free. And it’s all thanks to a few simple rules: don’t
commit, don’t be needy, and don’t give away your heart. So when
smoking-hot Nathan Diggs transfers to Lincoln High, it shouldn’t be a
big deal. At least that’s what Aubrey tells herself. But Nathan’s
new-boy charm, his kindness, and his disarming honesty throw Aubrey off
her game and put her in danger of breaking the most important rule of
all: Don’t fall in love. (goodreads.com)
JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT: WICKED
Twenty-two
year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others
like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter
for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all,
four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren
Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled
life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing
charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of
broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability
to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is
as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets.
Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the
sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to
deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of
her, what her past has shaped for her. But as Ivy grows closer
to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could
shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling
her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more
dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or
the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul. (goodreads.com)
