About the book
In this thrilling mystery by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins, five boys went hunting, but only four came back—and the evidence shows any one of them could be guilty.
Kate Marino's senior year internship at the District Attorney's Office isn't exactly glamorous—more like an excuse to leave school early that looks good on college applications. Then the DA hands her boss, Mr. Stone, the biggest case her small town of Belle Terre has ever seen. The River Point Boys are all anyone can talk about. Despite their damning toxicology reports the morning of the accident, the DA wants the boys' case swept under the rug. He owes his political office to their powerful families.
Kate won't let that happen. Digging up secrets without revealing her own is a dangerous line to walk; Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice. As she gets dangerously close to the truth, it becomes clear that the early morning accident might not have been an accident at all— if she doesn't uncover the true killer, more than one life could be on the line including her own.

Nothing Out There
Dystopian · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Maysie believes she's lucky to live within a secluded facility where troubled girls are trained to become obedient daughters, but those who fail to graduate disappear. When dreams revive memories of a girl the Program says no longer exists, rival mentors and mounting lies threaten everything she's been taught to believe. Ideal for readers drawn to dystopian suspense involving institutional control and fractured identity.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Poise. Obedience. Purpose.
Within the walls of a secluded facility that reforms troubled girls into obedient daughters, there are only two options: graduate or disappear. Erased and rebuilt from the ruins of herself, Maysie knows little about the future she’s training for, let alone the world outside. Daily sedatives, posture drills, and the constant reminder to smile shape the only life she’s ever known.
She considers herself lucky. She has friends who keep her calm, rules to keep her safe, and a future she’s been taught to want. The guidance of armed enforcers and watchful doctors is a small price to pay for the promise of perfection.
But perfection never lasts. Dreams bleed into memories of a girl they claim no longer exists. Girls who break vanish without explanation. And two rival mentors—each claiming to know what's best for her—pull Maysie into a game she can’t afford to lose. Every lie she uncovers threatens the version of her they’ve built, and the Program knows how to silence girls who know too much.
Only this time, they won’t stop at her memories.

About the book
In this science fiction adventure trilogy debut, a teen's gift for games could help his country win a global war—and also seal his fate.
"You won't be able to put this book down." —Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Divergent series
More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be important, though his shadowy life is anything but that. For years, Tom's drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for their survival. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible.
Then one day, Tom stops being invisible. Someone's been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he's offered the incredible—a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. There, Tom's instincts for combat will be put to the test and if he passes, he'll become a member of the Intrasolar Forces, helping to lead his country to victory in World War III. Finally, he'll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. Life at the Spire holds everything that Tom's always wanted—friends, the possibility of a girlfriend, and a life where his every action matters—but what will it cost him?
Gripping and provocative, S. J. Kincaid's futuristic thrill ride of a debut crackles with memorable characters, tremendous wit, and a vision of the future that asks startling, timely questions about the melding of humanity and technology.
"Hip, high-tech, and hilarious, Insignia made my heart soar and left me with impossible-to-shake questions about technology, reality, and war." —Rae Carson, author of The Girl of Fire and Thorns

About the book
One of Cosmo's Best YA Novels of All Time
A fresh, irresistible rom-com from debut author Emma Lord about the chances we take, the paths life can lead us on, and how love can be found in the opposite place you expected.
Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming — mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account.
Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but when Big League Burger steals his grandma’s iconic grilled cheese recipe, he’ll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time.
All’s fair in love and cheese — that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life — on an anonymous chat app Jack built.
As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate — people on the internet are shipping them?? — their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected.
"A witty rom-com reinvention … with deeply relatable insights on family pressure and growing up.” - Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of Always Never Yours and If I’m Being Honest
“An adorable debut that updates a classic romantic trope with a buzzy twist." - Jenn Bennett, author of Alex, Approximately and Serious Moonlight

About the book
SHE WASN'T BORN TO REBEL.
SHE WAS MADE TO DESTROY ANYONE WHO DID.
They tell me that I can't feel.
They're wrong. I'm learning.
It started with a soldier who wasn't afraid of what they made me. Now I want him, and wanting anything for myself could get us both killed.
I am a Creation. Genetically engineered, conditioned to suppress emotion, and trained to kill without question. My twin brother, Lukahn, and I exist for their war. We were built to heal each other by latching. Skin to skin, palm to palm. We can't survive without each other. Rank is how we both live. And if we're going to stay alive, we have to be the best.
I've killed for them. I've put a bullet through a Creation who hesitated, and I didn't feel anything. That's what I was made for.
The real test comes with Separation, when the government finally claims the lives it created. We are ready.
We are not ready for Separation to come early. Or for the newcomer who ruptures my senses before I even learn his name.
They drag us to a military base before we turn eighteen. Inside, every sign of weakness is watched. Outside, something is spreading. It doesn't move like anything human. It doesn't stop when it should. The vaccines meant to protect us from it might be the very thing that exposes what I am.
Then I meet Marc.
A soldier who doesn't look at me like a weapon waiting for orders, or like my brother's missing half. He touches me like he's not supposed to. A hand at my waist. A thumb against my chin. He looks at me like he can see the nightmares I don't want to have. He takes them away, the way Lukahn does. I shouldn't let him get this close. My brother would kill him if he knew.
I tell myself I'll stay away. I run the drills. I take the rank. I don't look at him.
I look at him.
Near Marc, the silence I was trained to live inside begins to break. A pulse. A flaw. Curiosity. Attachment. Want.
I look up "want" in the archive. The definition is wrong. None of the words for it are right. It isn't supposed to apply to me.
That kind of deviation doesn't get you a trial. It gets you a muzzle to the skull and a trigger pull, and the compound moves on before the body's cold.
I'm the one behind the barrel.
Outside, the infection keeps spreading closer. Inside, our training intensifies, our orders change, and the truth behind why Separation came early may lie with the invaders.
I should be preparing for war. Watching my brother's back. Keeping my hands off Marc. But Lukahn and I have spent our lives keeping each other alive, and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be the reason he dies.
I was built to destroy rebels.
And now I'm becoming one.
CREATED is Book One of the completed Separation Trilogy: dark YA dystopian sci-fi romance with engineered soldiers, forbidden attachment, and the alien truth behind the war they were created to fight.

About the book
This steampunk series debut set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Parasol Protectorate is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor that Gail Carriger's legions of fans adore.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than in proper manners—and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother had hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage—in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.

About the book
A queer, feminist spin on Stephen King’s The Mist, this ode to female-rage is a perfect pick for fans of She Is a Haunting, and a reminder that if "boys will be boys", girls will fight back.
For high school senior Nell and her friends, a vacation house on a private Florida island sounds like the makings of a dream spring break. But Nell brings secrets with her—secrets that fuse with the island's tragic history, trapping them all with a curse that surrounds the island in a toxic, vengeful mist and the surrounding waters with an unseen, devouring beast.
Getting out alive means risking her friendships, her sanity, and even her own life. In order to save herself and her friends, Nell will have to face memories she'd rather leave behind, reveal the horrific truth behind the encounter that changed her life one year ago, and face the shadow that's haunted her since childhood.
Easier said than done. But when Nell's friends reveal that they each brought secrets of their own, a solution even more dangerous than the curse starts to take shape. Reading like a YA feminist spin on Stephen King’s The Mist, So Witches We Became is a diverse, queer horror about female friendship, the emotional aftermath of surviving assault, and how to find power in the shadows of your past.
Step into your witchy power or be swallowed by the curse—the choice is yours.
