Return to Me by Justina Chen Headley
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
From Goodreads: Nothing is going as
planned for Rebecca Muir. She's weeks away from starting college--at a
school chosen specifically to put a few thousand miles of freedom
between Reb and her parents. But her dad's last-minute job opportunity
has her entire family moving all those miles with her! And then there's
the matter of her unexpected, amazing boyfriend, Jackson, who is staying
behind on the exact opposite coast.
And if that isn't enough to deal
with, mere days after moving cross-country, Reb's dad drops shocking,
life-changing news. With her mother and brother overwhelmed and
confused, Reb is left alone to pick up the pieces of her former life.
But how can she do that when everything can change in an instant? How
can she trust her "perfect" boyfriend when her own dad let her down? Reb
started the year knowing exactly what her future would hold, but now
that her world has turned upside down, will she discover what she really
wants?
Level 2 (Memory Chronicles #1) by Lenore Appelhans
Publisher: Simon & Schusters Books for Young Readers
From Goodreads: Three levels.
Two loves. One choice. Debut novelist, Lenore Appelhans has written a
thrilling otherworldly young adult novel about a place that exists
between our world (Level 1) and what comes after life (Level 2).
'I
pause to look around the hive - all the podlike chambers are lit up as
the drones shoot up on memories ... I've wanted to get out of here
before, but now the tight quarters start to choke me. There has to be
more to death than this.'
Felicia Ward is dead. Trapped in a
stark white afterlife limbo, she spends endless days replaying memories,
of her family, friends, boyfriend ... and of the guy who broke her
heart. The guy who has just broken into Level 2 to find her.
Felicia
learns that a rebellion is brewing, and it seems she is the key.
Suspended between heaven and earth, she must make a choice. Between two
worlds, two lives and two loves.
Shades of Earth (Across the Universe #3) - Beth Revis
Publisher: Razorbill
From Goodreads: Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed
behind. They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on
Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles
across the universe to experience.
But this new Earth isn't the
paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like
birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious,
unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first
let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.
Amy and Elder must race to discover who--or what--else is out there if
they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building
a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of
what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because
if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed--friends,
family, life on Earth--will have been for nothing.
Gates of Paradise (Blue Bloods #7) - Melissa de la Cruz
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
From Goodreads: Schuyler Van Alen is
running out of time. The Dark Prince of Hell is storming the Gates of
Paradise, intent on winning the heavenly throne for good. This time he
has his greatest angels by his side, Abbadon and Azrael—Jack and Mimi
Force, as they are known in the Coven.
Or so he thinks. Even as
Lucifer assigns Jack and Mimi the tasks of killing their true loves, the
Force twins secretly vow to defeat the Dark Prince once and for all.
But how far will Mimi and Jack go to conceal their real loyalties?
Meanwhile,
former vampire Bliss Llewellyn has joined forces with Lawson, the
greatest wolf of the underworld, to free his people from their
imprisonment in Hell. As they struggle against impossible odds, an
ancient message, woven into the very fabric of time, reveals just how
much depends on the success of their mission.
Lucifer seeks the
key to the Gate of Promise, and when Schuyler is taken captive and
delivered straight to Hell, she must make an unthinkable choice—the same
one the archangel Michael was forced to make during the Crisis in Rome.
Will Schuyler find the strength to do what he could not?
