The Leaf Reader
by Emily Arsenault
Paranormal Suspense. Since people at her small-town high school assume that she's just as strange as her family, Marnie Wells decides to lean into her odd reputation. She starts offering tea-leaf readings to her classmates only to discover a real talent for fortune-telling. That talent attracts the attention of basketball star Matt, who wants to know why he's receiving messages from someone claiming to be his missing (presumed dead) best friend. Even as her readings get more disturbing, Marnie finds herself irresistibly drawn toward Matt and his mystery. Hints of the supernatural add to the feeling of creeping unease in this page-turning tale of suspense.

Strange the Dreamer
by Laini Taylor
Fantasy. After 200 years without communication, the lost city of Weep has passed into legend. It's an unusual area of study for young librarian Lazlo Strange, but his passion pays off when he joins an expedition to the desert city, which isn't as lost as it seemed. In Weep, Lazlo discovers realities even more astonishing than the stories he loves: ghosts, gods, lingering trauma from a vicious war, and a beautiful blue girl with nightmarish powers. If Strange the Dreamer leaves you longing for book 2 in this duology, you might want to fill your wait with the dream magic and post-war recovery in Melina Marchetta's Lumatere Chronicles or the lush, mythic world-building in Roshani Chokshi's The Star-Touched Queen.
