But in each life one thing remains the same: their love and their fight to be together. One love story after another. Their only concern is they never get to see how their story ends. Until now.<\/span><\/p>\n

When they finally discover what it will take to break the cycle, will they be able to make the sacrifice?<\/span><\/p>\n

All These Bodies<\/em> by Kendare Blake<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Summer 1958\u2014a string of murders plagues the Midwest. The victims are found in their cars and in their homes\u2014even in their beds\u2014their bodies drained, but with no blood anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

September 19- the Carlson family is slaughtered in their Minnesota farmhouse, and the case gets its first lead: 15-year-old Marie Catherine Hale is found at the scene. She is covered in blood from head to toe, and at first she\u2019s mistaken for a survivor. But not a drop of the blood is hers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Jensen, son of the local sheriff, yearns to become a journalist and escape his small-town. He never imagined that the biggest story in the country would fall into his lap, or that he would be pulled into the investigation when Marie decides that he is the only one she will confess to.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Marie recounts her version of the story, it falls to Michael to find the truth: What really happened the night that the Carlsons were killed? And how did one girl wind up in the middle of all these bodies?<\/span><\/p>\n

Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche<\/em> by Nancy Springer<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Enola Holmes is the much younger sister of her more famous brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft. But she has all the wits, skills, and sleuthing inclinations of them both. At fifteen, she’s an independent young woman–after all, her name spelled backward reads ‘alone’–and living on her own in London. When a young professional woman, Miss Letitia Glover, shows up on Sherlock’s doorstep, desperate to learn more about the fate of her twin sister, it is Enola who steps up. It seems her sister, the former Felicity Glover, married the Earl of Dunhench and per a curt note from the Earl, has died. But Letitia Glover is convinced this isn’t the truth, that she’d know–she’d feel–if her twin had died.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Earl’s note is suspiciously vague and the death certificate is even more dubious, signed it seems by a John H. Watson, M.D. (who denies any knowledge of such). The only way forward is for Enola to go undercover–or so Enola decides at the vehement objection of her brother. And she soon finds out that this is not the first of the Earl’s wives to die suddenly and vaguely–and that the secret to the fate of the missing Felicity is tied to a mysterious black barouche that arrived at the Earl’s home in the middle of the night. To uncover the secrets held tightly within the Earl’s hall, Enola is going to require help–from Sherlock, from the twin sister of the missing woman, and from an old friend, the young Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether!<\/span><\/p>\n

Not Here to be Liked<\/em> by Michelle Quach<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Eliza Quan is the perfect candidate for editor-in-chief of her school paper. That is until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Suddenly her vast qualifications mean squat because inexperienced Len\u2014who is tall, handsome, and male\u2014just seems more like a leader.<\/p>\n

When Eliza\u2019s frustration spills out in a viral essay, she finds herself inspiring a feminist movement she never meant to start, caught between those who believe she\u2019s a gender equality champion and others who think she\u2019s simply crying misogyny.<\/p>\n

Amid this growing tension, the school asks Eliza and Len to work side by side to demonstrate civility. But as they get to know one another, Eliza feels increasingly trapped by a horrifying realization\u2014she just might be falling for the face of the patriarchy himself.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawn That Way<\/em> by Elissa Sussman<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Hayley Saffitz is confident, ambitious, and intent on following in the footsteps of her hero, renowned animation director, Bryan Beckett. When she\u2019s given a spot in his once-in-a-lifetime summer program, Hayley devises a plan: snag one of the internship\u2019s coveted directing opportunities. Dazzle Bryan with her talent. Secure a job post-graduation. Live her dream.<\/p>\n

Except she doesn\u2019t land one of the director positions. All of those go to boys. And one of them is Bryan\u2019s son, Bear.<\/p>\n

Despite Bear\u2019s obvious apathy for the internship, Hayley soon realizes that there\u2019s more to him than she expected. As they work together, the animosity between them thaws into undeniable chemistry and maybe something\u2026 more.<\/p>\n

But Hayley can\u2019t stop thinking about the chance she was refused.<\/p>\n

Determined to make a name for herself, Hayley recruits the five other young women in the program to develop their own short to sneak into the film festival at the end of the summer. As the internship winds down, however, one question remains: Will Hayley conform to the expectations of her idol, or will she risk her blossoming relationship with Bear\u2014and her future\u2014to prove that she\u2019s exactly as talented as she thinks she is?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Girls Are Never Gone<\/em> by Sarah Glenn Marsh<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Dare Chase doesn\u2019t believe in ghosts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Privately, she\u2019s a supernatural skeptic. But publicly, she\u2019s keeping her doubts to herself\u2014because she\u2019s the voice of\u00a0Attachments<\/i>, her brand-new paranormal investigation podcast, and she needs her ghost-loving listeners to tune in.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what brings her to Arrington Estate. Thirty years ago, teenager Atheleen Bell drowned in Arrington\u2019s lake, and legend says her spirit haunts the estate. Dare\u2019s more interested in the suspicious circumstances surrounding her death\u2014circumstances that she believes point to a living culprit, not the supernatural. Still, she\u2019s vowed to keep an open mind as she investigates, even if she\u2019s pretty sure what she\u2019ll find.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Arrington is full of surprises. Good ones like Quinn, the cute daughter of the house\u2019s new owner. And baffling ones like the threatening messages left scrawled in paint on Quinn\u2019s walls, the ghastly face that appears behind Dare\u2019s own in the mirror, and the unnatural current that nearly drowns their friend Holly in the lake. As Dare is drawn deeper into the mysteries of Arrington, she\u2019ll have to rethink the boundaries of what is possible. Because if something is lurking in the lake\u2026it might not be willing to let her go.<\/span><\/p>\n
