Burn (Pure Trilogy #3):
The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with Pure, recommended by People for those who loved The Hunger Games. With his father now dead, Partridge has assumed leadership of the Dome, one of the last few refuges from the ravaged wastelands of the outside world. At first, Partridge is intent on exposing his father's lies, taking down the rigid order of the Dome, and uniting its citizens with the disfigured Wretches on the outside. But from his new position of power, things are far more complex and potentially dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

Pawn
(Blackcoat Rebellion #1):
YOU CAN BE A VII IF YOU GIVE EVERYTHING.
For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country.
If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked--surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter.
There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed...and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose--and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

"The choices I had made led to the moment when fate took over. I
would learn a lesson I wasn't prepared for. And Death would be my willing
teacher."
Five years ago, Abbey Chandler cheated Death. She survived a horrific car accident, but her "lucky" break came at the expense of her mother's life and changed everything. After she crossed paths with Death--by taking the hand of an ethereal boy made of clouds and sky--she would never be normal again.
Now she's the target of Death's ravens and an innocent boy's life is on the line. When Nate Holden--Abbey's secret crush--starts to climb Alaska's Denali, the Angel of Death stalks him because of "her."
And Abbey finds out the hard way that Death never forgets.

Savannah Colbert has never known why she's so hated by the kids of the
Clann. Nor can she deny her instinct to get close to Clann golden boy Tristan
Coleman. Especially when she recovers from a strange illness and the attraction
becomes nearly irresistible. It's as if he's a magnet, pulling her gaze, her
thoughts, even her dreams. Her family has warned her to have nothing to do with
him, or any members of the Clann. But when Tristan is suddenly everywhere she
goes, Savannah fears she's destined to fail.
For years, Tristan has been forbidden to even speak to Savannah
Colbert. Then Savannah disappears from school for a week and comes
back...different, and suddenly he can't stay away. Boys seem intoxicated just
from looking at her. His own family becomes stricter than ever. And Tristan has
to fight his own urge to protect her, to be near her no matter the
consequences.... [Description is from Crave]
The Queen's Choice (Heirs of Chrior #1):
Magic was seeping out of me, black and agonizing. I could see it
drifting away. The magic that would let me pass the Road to reach home again.
When sixteen-year-old Anya learns that her aunt, Queen of the Faerie Kingdom of Chrior, will soon die, her grief is equaled only by her despair for the future of the kingdom. Her young cousin, Illumina, is unfit to rule, and Anya is determined not to take up the queen's mantle herself.
Convinced that the only solution is to find Prince Zabriel, who long ago disappeared into the human realm of Warckum, and persuade him to take up his rightful crown, Anya journeys into the Warckum Territory to bring him home. But her journey is doomed to be more harrowing than she ever could have imagined....

Cress
(Lunar Chronicles #3):
In this third book in Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles
series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet
and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and
prevent her army from invading Earth.
Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl trapped on a
satellite since childhood who’s only ever had her netscreens as company. All
that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s being
forced to work for Queen Levana, and she’s just received orders to track down
Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she’d ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

I wanted the role of Juliet more than anything. I
studied hard. I gave a great reading for it--even with Bobby checking me out
the whole time. I deserved the part.
I didn't get it. So I decided to level the playing field, though I actually might have leveled the whole play. You see, since there aren't any Success in Getting to Be Juliet in Your High School Play spells, I thought I'd cast the next best--a Fame spell. Good idea, right?
Yeah. Instead of bringing me a little fame, it brought me someone a little famous. Shakespeare. Well, Edmund Shakespeare. William's younger brother.
Good thing he's sweet and enthusiastic about helping me with the play...and--ahem--maybe a little bit hot. But he's from the past. "Way" past. Cars amaze him--"cars " And cell phones? Ugh.
Still, there's something about him that's making my eyes go star-crossed....
