Seven Deadly Shadows by Courtney Alameda and Valynne E. Maetani: Kira has never fit in or felt comfortable anywhere except her grandfather's shrine. That is until the day the shrine is attacked by Yokai (Japanese demons). Why are they here, what do they want, and how can Kira stop what might be the start of a war between forces darker than the could have ever imagined?

Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore: The year is 1518, and a strange plague has hit France: women are taking to the streets and dancing themselves to death. No one knows why, but the rumors of witchcraft are everywhere. Fast forward 500 years, and a girl named Rosella finds a pair of shoes that attach to her feet, making dance, and dance, and dance. Based on a true story (yes, there REALLY WAS a dancing plague in the middle ages!), this beautiful modern fairy tale will have you hooked until the last page.

Verona Comics by Jennifer Dugan: "Two houses, both alike in dignity...." oh wait, sorry, wrong book. But not really, because that's the opening line to Romeo and Juliet, and Verona Comics is a funny modern retelling of that classic story, except the two families here each run a comic book shop. Despite the fact that Ridley and Jubille's parents are business rivals, and hate each other, the two are of course, destined to meet... where else: at comic-con prom.

Elysium Girls by Kate Pentecost: For 10 years, a pair of sisters have been playing a game that neither one is willing to lose. Now, this wouldn't really matter to anyone, except that the sisters are the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Death. Now the sisters have concentrated all their game-playing energy on the small town of Elysium, Oklahoma and the lives of all the residents are at stake, unless Sal (a girl who sees visions) and Asa (a demon posing as a human) can figure out how to stop them... as soon as they figure out how to get themselves un-exiled from town first.
