Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards: Mira is halfway to Pittsburgh to spend Christmas with her mom as the city is hit by a truly epic blizzard that cancels the final flight of her trip. Desperate to get home, Mira accepts a ride share with some college kids she made friends with on her flight. But as conditions get worse, she realizes these people don't know each other at all. She's trapped in a car with a bunch of strangers, and horrible weather conditions... but one of the passengers seems to be determined that none of them will make it to their destination alive.
Pretty Funny For a Girl by Rebecca Elliott: Hayla is a girl with a dream: one day she hopes to be a stand-up comedian. She knows it's a cutthroat business, and that it's mostly dominated by middle aged white guys, but she knows she's funny and is determined to make it big. Then she meets super hottie Leo, who is also on the path to becoming a famous comic and offers Hayla a chance to co-write some of his sets. Hayla's friends don't rust Leo, and keep telling Hayla he's just using her, but Hayla doesn't want to listen for one particular reason: she's afraid she might be falling in love with Leo.
We Were Restless Things by Cole Nagamatsu. Noemi's best friend is dead. He died under the most mysterious of circumstances, too: drowned on dry land, with no lakes or other bodies of water to be found for miles of where his body was discovered. Only Noemi knows the truth: there is a lake hidden in the woods, and only Noemi has the ability to find it. This is where Link died... or did he? Because now, Noemi is starting to get weird messages from someone claiming to be her dead best friend. And the messages are a warning of terrible things to come.
Winter, White and Wicked by Shannon Dittemore: Sylvi lives a very unusual life. She's an orphan, and lives all alone in her truck on the island of Layce, which is cursed by a never-ending winter. Sylvi is actually pretty ok with her life though - no one really bothers her, and she has a really great best friend Lenore and the protection of an ice spirit to keep her company. That is until the day Lenore runs away to join a band of northern rebels, and Sylvi gets roped into a dangerous smuggling operation in order to try to saver her beloved friend.
