Release Date: May 15, 2012
From Goodreads: Aiden Nomura likes to open doors—especially using his skills
as a hacker—to see what’s hidden inside. He believes everything is part of a
greater system: the universe. The universe shows him the doors, and he keeps
pulling until one cracks open. Aiden exposes the flaw, and the universe—or
someone else—will fix it. It’s like a game.
Until it isn’t.
When a TFC opens in Bern, Switzerland, where Aiden is attending boarding school, he knows things are changing. Shortly after, bombs go off within quiet, safe Bern. Then Aiden learns that his cousin Winter, back in the States, has had a mental breakdown. He returns to the US immediately. But when he arrives home in Hamilton, Winter’s mental state isn’t the only thing that’s different. The city is becoming even stricter, and an underground movement is growing.
Along with Winter’s friend, Velvet, Aiden slowly cracks open doors in this new world. But behind those doors are things Aiden doesn’t want to see—things about his society, his city, even his own family. And this time Aiden may be the only one who can fix things... before someone else gets hurt.

From What I Remember... by Stacy Kramer
Release Date: May 15, 2012
From Goodreads:
KYLIE: Tijuana WHAT? I should be putting the finishing
touches on my valedictorian speech. Graduation is TODAY, and is this a wedding
band on my finger.
MAX: It all started with Kylie's laptop and a truck full of stolen electronics Okay, it was kind of hot, the way she broke us out like some chick in an action movie. But now we're stranded in TIjuana. With less than twenty-four hours before graduation. Awesome.
WILL: Saving Kylie Flores from herself is kind of a full-time occupation. Luckily, I, Will Bixby, was born for the job. And when I found out she was stuck in Mexico with dreamy Max Langston, sure, I agreed to bring thier passports across the border--but there's no reason to rush back home right away. This party is just getting started.
LILY: I just walked in on my boyfriend, Max Langston, canoodling with Kylie Flores, freak of the century. Still, I can't completely hold it against him. He NEEDS me. It's even clearer now. And I'm not giving him up without a fight.

As Dead As It Gets (Bad Girls Don't Die) by Katie Alender
Release Date: May 15, 2012
From Goodreads: It's been three months since Alexis
helplessly witnessed Lydia Small's violent death, and all she wants is for her
life to return to normal.
But normal people don’t see decaying
bodies haunting photographs. Normal people don’t have to deal with regular
intrusions from Lydia’s angry ghost, sometimes escalating to terrifying
attacks.
At first, it seems that Lydia wants
revenge on Alexis alone. But a girl from school disappears one night, and
Alexis spots one of Lydia’s signature yellow roses lying on the girl’s dresser
the next day. Soon, it becomes clear that several of Alexis’s friends are in
danger, and that she's the only person who can save them. But as she tries to
intervene, Alexis realizes that her enemy is a much more powerful ghost than
she's ever faced before... and that its fate is tied to hers in ways she
couldn't possibly imagine. Not even in her worst nightmares.
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
Release Date: May 15, 2012
From Goodreads: I have two weeks. You'll shoot me at the end no matter what
I do.
That's what you do to enemy agents. It's what we do to enemy agents. But I look at all the dark and twisted roads ahead and cooperation is the easy way out. Possibly the only way out for a girl caught red-handed doing dirty work like mine — and I will do anything, anything, to avoid SS-Hauptsturmführer von Linden interrogating me again.
He has said that I can have as much paper as I need. All I have to do is cough up everything I can remember about the British War Effort. And I'm going to. But the story of how I came to be here starts with my friend Maddie. She is the pilot who flew me into France — an Allied Invasion of Two.
We are a sensational team.

Immortal Hearts (Vampire Kisses #9) by Ellen Schreiber
Release Date: May 15, 2012
From Goodreads: Athena "Stormy" Sterling is coming to Dullsville,
and Raven is both excited and panicked in anticipation of Alexander's little
sister's visit. Alexander tells Raven that she and his sister have a lot in
common, but can the mini-Raven be everything she hopes for? Alexander calls her
Stormy for a reason.
Stormy's visit stirs up the perfect immortal whirlwind. Raven is forced to take a good look at what it would really mean to be a vampire in the Sterling family, aside from some of the things she already loves, like shunning the sun and sleeping in a coffin with Alexander. When Raven compares her life with Stormy's, she can see that it's not all starry skies and black roses. But Raven knows she's always wanted to be a vampire.
Alexander is as romantic and dreamy as ever, and though he keeps showing Raven how much he loves her, will she ultimately be able to convince him that it's the right thing to turn her?
