Title: Unspoken (The Lynburn Legacy #1)
Author: Sarah Rees Brennan
Kami Glass loves
someone she’s never met . . . a boy she’s talked to in her head ever
since she was born. She wasn’t silent about her imaginary friend during
her childhood, and is thus a bit of an outsider in her sleepy English
town of Sorry-in-the-Vale. Still, Kami hasn’t suffered too much from not
fitting in. She has a best friend, runs the school newspaper, and is
only occasionally caught talking to herself. Her life is in order, just
the way she likes it, despite the voice in her head.
But all that changes when the Lynburns return.
The Lynburn family has owned the spectacular and sinister manor that overlooks Sorry-in-the-Vale for centuries. The mysterious twin sisters who abandoned their ancestral home a generation ago are back, along with their teenage sons, Jared and Ash, one of whom is eerily familiar to Kami. Kami is not one to shy away from the unknown—in fact, she’s determined to find answers for all the questions Sorry-in-the-Vale is suddenly posing. Who is responsible for the bloody deeds in the depths of the woods? What is her own mother hiding? And now that her imaginary friend has become a real boy, does she still love him? Does she hate him? Can she trust him?

Title: Shadowfell (Shadowfell #1)
Author: Juliet Marillier
Sixteen-year-old Neryn
is alone in the land of Alban, where the oppressive king has ordered
anyone with magical strengths captured and brought before him. Eager to
hide her own canny skill—a uniquely powerful ability to communicate with
the fairy-like Good Folk—Neryn sets out for the legendary Shadowfell, a
home and training ground for a secret rebel group determined to
overthrow the evil King Keldec.
During her dangerous journey, she receives aid from the Good Folk, who tell her she must pass a series of tests in order to recognize her full potential. She also finds help from a handsome young man, Flint, who rescues her from certain death—but whose motives in doing so remain unclear. Neryn struggles to trust her only allies. They both hint that she alone may be the key to Alban’s release from Keldec’s rule.
Homeless, unsure of who to trust, and trapped in an empire determined to crush her, Neryn must make it to Shadowfell not only to save herself, but to save Alban.

Title: Silver Mine (Takhini Wolves #2)
Author: Vivian Arend
Life in isolation is the
safest place for Chase Johnson, a crossbreed who doesn't know which
form he'll assume next-cougar or wolf. Once a year, his unelected
position as spokesman for the Yukon outcasts forces him to visit
civilization. This time he runs across someone unexpected. She's not his
mate, but she pushes all the right buttons.
It's taken years for Shelley Bradley to gather the courage to return to her home pack. In spite of being the lowest of the low-a shifter who can't shift-she's determined to make a place for herself as the Whitehorse locals' new vet-slash-doctor.
There's definite electricity between her and Chase, but sex with fellow shifters and the inherent mind games got old a long time ago. Ignoring him seems best. When he shows up at her office with a wound that won't heal, she's stuck-yet drawn to solve this medical mystery.
As they journey deep into outcast territory in search of answers, their powerful sexual attraction crumbles her resistance. But time is of the essence. If a cure can't be found before his human and cougar succumb to his injury, he-and others like him-will die.
Warning: Contains a silver-tongued, hairy-chested, lean-muscled Alpha who's got what it takes to lead in the wilderness and in the bedroom. Yeah, I know...not really much of a deterrent, is it? Throw in continuing territorial wars and a domestic cat. Stir and enjoy the chaos.

Title: Vessel
Author: Sarah Beth Durst
In a desert
world of sandstorms and sand-wolves, a teen girl must defy the gods to
save her tribe in this mystical, atmospheric tale from the author of Drink, Slay, Love.Liyana
has trained her entire life to be the vessel of a goddess. The goddess
will inhabit Liyana’s body and use magic to bring rain to the desert.
But Liyana’s goddess never comes. Abandoned by her angry tribe, Liyana
expects to die in the desert. Until a boy walks out of the dust in
search of her.
Korbyn is a god inside his vessel, and a trickster god at that. He tells Liyana that five other gods are missing, and they set off across the desert in search of the other vessels. For the desert tribes cannot survive without the magic of their gods. But the journey is dangerous, even with a god’s help. And not everyone is willing to believe the trickster god’s tale.
The closer she grows to Korbyn, the less Liyana wants to disappear to make way for her goddess. But she has no choice: She must die for her tribe to live. Unless a trickster god can help her to trick fate—or a human girl can muster some magic of her own.

Title: Hanging by a Thread
Author: Sophie Littlefield
Summer is the best part
of the year in Winston, California, and the Fourth of July is the
highlight of the season. But the perfect town Clare remembers has
changed, and everyone is praying that this summer will be different from
the last two—that this year's Fourth of July festival won't see one of
their own vanish without a trace, leaving no leads and no suspects. The
media are in a frenzy predicting a third disappearance, but the town
depends on tourist dollars, so the residents of Winston are trying
desperately to pretend nothing's wrong.
And they're not the only ones hiding something.
Clare, a seamstress who redesigns vintage clothing, has been blessed—or perhaps cursed—with a gift: she can see people's pasts when she touches their clothes. When she stumbles across a denim jacket that once belonged to Amanda Stavros, last year's Fourth of July victim, Clare sees her perfect town begin to come apart at the seams.
In a town where appearance means everything, how deep beneath the surface will Clare dig to uncover a murderer?

Title: Hidden (Firelight #3)
Author: Sophie Jordan
Jacinda was supposed to bond with Cassian, the "prince" of their pride. But she resisted long before she fell in love with Will—a human and, worse, a hunter. When she ran away with Will, it ended in disaster, with Cassian's sister, Miram, captured. Weighed down by guilt, Jacinda knows she must rescue her to set things right. Yet to do so she will have to venture deep into the heart of enemy territory.
The only way Jacinda can reach Miram is by posing as a prisoner herself, though once she assumes that disguise, things quickly spiral out of her control. As she learns more about her captors, she realizes that even if Will and Cassian can carry out their part of the plan, there's no guarantee they'll all make it out alive. But what Jacinda never could have foreseen is that escaping would be only the beginning....
Loyalties are tested and sacrifices made in the explosive conclusion to Sophie Jordan's Firelight trilogy.

Title: Nine Lives of an Urban Panther (Diaries of an Urban Panther #3)
Author: Amanda Arista
Violet Jordan‘s Rule #3 of being a superhero: Family first, fur second.
Dear Diary,
With new supernatural creatures popping up at every turn (Ghouls? Really?),
the city divided, and my long-lost cousin blazing into town, I've got a
lot on my mind. Oh, not to mention I'm supposed to be planning a
wedding. Chaz has got to be the best, most patient (and probably
clinically insane) fiancé around.
But
defeating my sworn enemy in a battle for the souls of Dallas is going
to require more than just my full attention. It means learning to depend
on everyone—especially Chaz—if any of us ...
