The Beholder by Anna Bright: Selah has always dreamed of a fairy tale life: marrying her childhood friend and living happily every after. After all, as the daughter of her community's leader, it's what she was raised to do. But, when the boy she loves rejects her, Selah's mother has a solution: sail halfway around the world to find a suitable husband and come back engaged... or never come back at all.

The Dangerous Art of Blending In by Angelo Surmelis: Evan is not doing well with this whole "growing up" thing. His strict Greek mother thinks he's a disappointment, he can't even have a conversation with his distant workaholic dad, and his formerly dorky best friend somehow became the "hot guy" over the summer, leaving Evan in the dust. Evan's only source of comfort is his art, and maybe, just maybe, the suspicion that his best friend might just feel the same way as Evan and wants to be more than friends.

Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson: In Vermont, only the best and brightest are admitted into Ellingham Academy every school year. Stevie Bell is one of those students. She also happens to be obsessed with true crime, and in particular the mysterious, unsolved disappearance of the school founder's wife and daughter. At least, that's her plan, until strange things start happening at the school, making everyone wonder if a centuries old killer could still be out there somehow, trying to get away with murder all over again.

Uncanny by David Macinnis Gill: When a sudden storm on the day of her 16th birthday takes out power all over Boston, Willow doesn't think it's weird - just another power outage. Until she is suddenly able to stop time. And then she meets her super creepy familiar. And then her sister vanishes without a trace. Eventually Willow realizes her birthday storm was not just unnatural, but supernatural, and it's awakened something ancient. Something evil. Something that wants Willow dead.
