THE INFERNAL DEVICES WILL NEVER STOP COMING
A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London

automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete
his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.
Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain
before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal
claim to her heart, Jem and Will, will do anything to save her. For though
Tessa and Jem are now engaged, Will is as much in love with her as ever.
As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain’s clutches, Tessa
realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single
girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?
Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled threads of love
and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of
destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy.
City
of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium
Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a
murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and
brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard
to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when
there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was
he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to
ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a
Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk.
Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance,
when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why
would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And
how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's
ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will
never want to end.
Ashes
(Seeds of America #3) by Laurie Halse Anderson
Freedom for one, freedom for all?
That’s the question that burns in Isabel’s mind as she and Curzon forge on
through chaos and fear toward the dream that’s kept them alive for so many
years: freedom. But her dream of living not as a “runaway” but as a free person
with land and a family of her own seems impossibly far away. That dream hinges
on one thing: finding her little sister, Ruth. It’s been years since Ruth was
stolen from her. Is she even alive? And if Isabel can find her, how will they
make it safely through the war between the Patriots and the British that rages
on as dangerously as ever, while bounty hunters try to kidnap them at every
turn?
In the American Revolution, one must pick a side in order to survive. But how
can you care about a nation’s freedom when the very same nation has kept you in
chains?
Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret.
Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles. Poppy is
the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Midnight
is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Wink. Poppy. Midnight. Two
girls. One boy. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp,
bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something
terrible or tricky or tremendous.
What really happened?
Someone knows.
Someone is lying.
Shutter
by Laurie Faria Stolarz
Sixteen-year-old Day Connor views life through the lens of her
camera, where perspective is everything. But photographs never tell the whole
story. After Day crosses paths with Julian, the world she observes and the
truths she believes—neatly captured in black and white—begin to blur.
Julian does not look like a murderer, but his story is full of holes, and his
alibis don’t quite add up, either. This time, Day is determined to see the
entire picture…whatever it reveals.
Did he kill his parents? Or didn’t he?
While Julian remains on the run, Day digs deeper into his case. But the more
facts she uncovers, the longer her list of questions becomes. It’s also getting
harder to deny the chemistry she feels with Julian.
Is it real? Or is she being manipulated?
Day is close to finding the crack in the case that will prove Julian’s
innocence. She just needs time to focus before the shutter snaps shut.
Double
Eclipse (Summer on East End #2) by Melissa de la Cruz
Twin witches Mardi and Molly Overbrook are back for another
summer in North Hampton, and this year they’re serious about two things:
avoiding trouble and dedicating themselves to rest and relaxation. Molly’s
headed to Aunt Ingrid’s, while Mardi has convinced their father, Troy—a.k.a.
Thor, the god of thunder—to let her crash with her boyfriend, Trent, who also
happens to be Tyr, the god of war. It’s a tangled web they weave, but that’s to
be expected where gods and goddesses are concerned.
Their vacation’s just begun when an old secret is revealed, leaving Molly and
Mardi to question everything they’ve ever known about their family. Then a hot
new guy comes to town and starts brewing even more trouble…and soon enough, the
twins are back to their old tricks.
After an ancient prophecy comes to light, Molly and Mardi notice some
mysterious changes, changes that will put their sisterhood to the ultimate
test. East End’s shaping up to be much more exciting than the girls were
bargaining for, but what’s a summer in the Hamptons without a little magic and
mischief?
