War Storm
by Victoria Aveyard
VICTORY COMES AT A PRICE. Mare Barrow learned this all too well when Cal’s betrayal nearly destroyed her. Now determined to protect her heart—and secure freedom for Reds and newbloods like her—Mare resolves to overthrow the kingdom of Norta once and for all… starting with the crown on Maven’s head. But no battle is won alone, and before the Reds may rise as one, Mare must side with the boy who broke her heart in order to defeat the boy who almost broke her. Cal’s powerful Silver allies, alongside Mare and the Scarlet Guard, prove a formidable force. But Maven is driven by an obsession so deep, he will stop at nothing to have Mare as his own again, even if it means demolishing everything—and everyone—in his path. War is coming, and all Mare has fought for hangs in the balance. Will victory be enough to topple the Silver kingdoms? Or will the little lightning girl be forever silenced? |

We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
Cadence "Cady" Sinclair is one of the Sinclairs, a powerful, privileged New England family. Every year, Cady looks forward to summer, when she reunites with her cousins Mirren and Johnny and their friend, Gat, on the family's private island. But during their 15th summer, something happens -- something so shattering that Cady can't remember it, and her family won't talk about it. A richly atmospheric setting combines with Cady's captivating narration to create a simmering, steadily increasing suspense that will keep you turning pages right up to the ending, which -- well, we won't spoil it, but it will definitely get people talking. We Were Liars is stylish, provocative, and unforgettable.
