99 Days by Katie Cotugno
From the acclaimed author of How to Love comes another stunning contemporary novel, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen.
Molly Barlow is facing one long,
hot summer—99 days—with the boy whose heart she broke and the boy she
broke it for . . . his brother.
Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my
house my first night back in Star Lake, and that's how I know everyone
still remembers everything. She has every right to hate me, of course: I
broke Patrick Donnelly's heart the night everything happened with his
brother, Gabe. Now I'm serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college and be done.
Day 4: A nasty note on my
windshield makes it clear Julia isn't finished. I'm expecting a fight
when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it's just Gabe, home from
college and actually happy to see me. "For what it's worth, Molly
Barlow," he says, "I'm really glad you're back."
Day 12: Gabe wouldn't quit till he
got me to come to this party, and I'm surprised to find I'm actually
having fun. I think he's about to kiss me—and that's when I see Patrick.
My Patrick, who's supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who's never going to forgive me.
Becoming Jinn, book 1 of the Becoming Jinn series by Lori Goldstein
Azra has just
turned sixteen, and overnight her body lengthens, her olive skin
deepens, and her eyes glisten gold thanks to the brand-new silver bangle
that locks around her wrist. As she always knew it would, her Jinn
ancestry brings not just magical powers but the reality of a life of
servitude, as her wish granting is controlled by a remote ruling class
of Jinn known as the Afrit.
To the humans she lives among,
she's just the girl working at the snack bar at the beach, navigating
the fryer and her first crush. But behind closed doors, she's learning
how to harness her powers and fulfill the obligations of her destiny.
Mentored by her mother and her Zar "sisters,"
Azra discovers she may not be
quite like the rest of her circle of female Jinn . . . and that her
powers could endanger them all.
Soul Bound, book 1 of the Realm of the Claimed series by Linda Foster
Ash was just
another high school student, intent on living life to the fullest. Until
he sold his soul to a demon to save his sister’s life, and fell in love
with a fallen angel. Kali has never considered herself
normal. She is, after all, one of the original fallen angels, cast from
Heaven in the days before mankind, and cursed to serve a dark master as
repentance. She’s spent thousands of years battling that fate, and
trying to regain her soul. Now the two find themselves bound
together by a promise that can't be broken, tied by a blood vow stronger
than life itself. Kali has unwittingly gained Ash’s soul, and cannot be
rid of it by any means available to her. Ash, on the other hand, cannot
escape with his life—or soul—intact. But there are darker fates than
being tied to a demon. Like being at the top of the Master of Dark’s
kill list. Fighting for the fate of the world.
Falling in love with the boy who will, in the end, mean your own death.
It will take an alliance of the
fallen angels, answers to some ancient questions, and more courage than
Kali thinks she has. But the end will mean redemption. Freedom. The
chance to go back home.
Will
Kali have the strength she needs? Will she be able to save the boy she
loves? Or will she fail, and take the world—and her true love—with her?
Sophomore Year is Greek to Me by Meredith Zeitlin
A laugh-out-loud high school adventure set in Greece, perfect for fans of Meg Cabot High school sophomore Zona Lowell has lived in New York City her whole life, and plans to follow in the footsteps of her renowned-journalist father. But when he announces they’re moving to Athens for six months so he can work on an important new story, she's devastated— he must have an ulterior motive.

But Zona never knew her mom, and now she’s supposed to uproot her entire life and meet possibly hostile relatives on their turf? Thanks... but no thanks.
