Swallow by Samantha Smith, edited by Jen Hale

Revenge is a dish best served cold. The students at Roanoke High School have created a soundtrack that runs constantly in Mildred Waco's mind . . . Change your hair, Mildred. Change your face, Mildred. Change your body, Mildred. Everyone hates you, Mildred. Are you really going to wear that, Mildred? The stares, the snickers, the constant teasing - combined with Mildred's own self-doubt and absentee parents - takes its toll. Stumbling upon the Crossroads Magicks shop, Mildred decides she will no longer simply endure the bullying and skeptically buys a revenge curse. But when she begins to lose her memory and Roanoke students are found brutally murdered, Mildred realizes that she may have bought more than she bargained for. With time running out, Mildred will have to stop the terrible forces she's unleashed or lose her soul forever.

They say it is quietest in the eye of a storm. . . they lied. Bronwyn's mother is late. Again. Sitting on the edge of the sidewalk, waiting, Bronwyn figures she's flaked out again. She's always flaking out. Stomping home ready for a fight, Bronwyn is met by a cataclysmic tornado heading directly toward their run-down trailer. Bronwyn barely escapes with her life. Her mother isn't as lucky. Enter Senator Soliday, a.k.a.

Creatures of the Night by Grace Collins

Night is coming, and so are they. Milena's twentieth birthday, the day she would join the ranks of her village's hunters, should have been the most exciting day of her life.

But a chance encounter with Elias, the enigmatic leader of the creatures, leaves her questioning everything she has ever believed to be true. Up until now, Elias has managed to protect the creatures of the night and keep the secrets of his past well hidden. Now, as tensions between the groups grow, Elias is forced to make hard decisions: ones that will cost lives.

The Hoodie Girl by Yuen Wright

My hoodie is freakishly oversized. It covers my body in a way that makes me feel comfortable. Safe. Invisible. Wren Martin isn't what you would call a popular girl. She is remarkably average, gets good grades, and aspires to get a scholarship to her dream college and leave her hometown, as it's filled with impossible memories. Asher Reed - star athlete and heartthrob of Eastview High - is everything wrong with high school in one frustratingly good-looking body. But when an on-field accident leaves him sidelined for the season, he takes an interest in Wren. With an undeniable connection, Wren and Asher form a friendship that quickly turns into something more. Yuen Wright's heartwarming debut is a reminder that when someone really sees you, the last thing you want is to be invisible.
