"A brash, refreshing, vitally diverse retelling of a classic... You need this book." ―Tor.com
A Blade So Black delivers an irresistible urban fantasy retelling of Alice in Wonderland . . . but it's not the Wonderland you remember.
The first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she's trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills. Yet even warriors have a curfew.
Life in real-world Atlanta isn't always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the Nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice's handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she’s ever gone before. And she'll need to use everything she's learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head . . . literally.
Debut author L.L. McKinney delivers an action-packed twist on an old classic, full of romance and otherworldly intrigue.

#1 "New York Times "bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The
Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting
action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking
romance.
She could save the world--or destroy it.
Sixteen year old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed
life--until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When
an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, killing
everyone she loves, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually
visions of the future--and they're still happening. Fighting for
her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her
wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can't do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack
is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her
and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her
quest. She knows she can't totally trust Jack. If he ever cast that
wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet
others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being
played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A
group of teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle
between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which
side...
In "Poison Princess," "New York Times" bestselling author Kresley
Cole introduces a dark and intriguing world, full of unspeakable
danger and irresistible romance.
A trans boy enters a throw-down battle for the title of Homecoming
King with the boy he dumped last summer in ZR Ellor's contemporary
YA debut. Jeremy Harkiss, cheer captain and student body president,
won't let coming out as a transgender boy ruin his senior year.
Instead of bowing to the bigots and outdate school administration,
Jeremy decides to make some noise--and how better than by
challenging his all-star ex-boyfriend, Lukas for the title of
Homecoming King? Lukas Rivers, football star and head of the
Homecoming Committee, is just trying to find order in his life
after his older brother's funeral and the loss of his long-term
girlfriend--who turned out to be a boy. But when Jeremy threatens
to break his heart and steal his crown, Lukas kick starts a plot to
sabotage Jeremy's campaign. When both boys take their rivalry too
far, the dance is on the verge of being canceled. To save
Homecoming, they'll have to face the hurt they're both hiding--and
the lingering butterflies they can't deny.
Juliet believes girls like her - girls with arthritis - don't get
their own love stories. She exists at the edges of her friends'
social lives, skipping parties to play online chess under a
pseudonym with strangers around the world. There, she isn't just
'the girl with crutches'. Ronan is the new kid: good looking,
smart, a bad boy plagued by guilt over what happened to his brother
Ciaran. Chesslife is his escape. Juliet thinks Ronan thinks someone
like Ronan could never be interested in someone like her - and she
wouldn't want him to be anyway - he always acts like he's cooler
than everyone else. Little do they know they've already discovered
each other online, and have more in common than they think . . .

from award-winning author Mary Watson, for fans of Children of
Blood and Bone and The Gilded Ones. Seventeen-year-old Savannah is
cursed. It's a sinister family heirloom; passed down through the
bloodline for hundreds of years, with one woman in every generation
destined to die young. The family call them Hella's girls, named
for their ancestor Hella; the enslaved woman with whom it all
began. Hella's girls are always angry, especially in the months
before they die. The anger is bursting from Savannah - at the men
who cat-call her in the street, at her mother's disingenuous
fiance, even at her own loving family. Each fit of rage is bringing
her closer to the edge and now Savannah has to act to save herself.
Or die trying. Because the key to survival lies in the underbelly
of Cape Town, where the sinister veilwitches are waiting for just
such a girl. Blood to Poison is a furious and mesmerising story
about discovering magic, historical rage and love in all its
guises.

imagined epic fantasy duology about an impossible love between two
girls-one human, one Made-whose romance could be the beginning of a
revolution. Perfect for fans of Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse
as well as Game of Thrones and Westworld. After the War of Kinds
ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, designed to be the
playthings of royals, usurped their owners' estates and bent the
human race to their will. Now Ayla, a human servant rising in the
ranks at the House of the Sovereign, dreams of avenging her
family's death...by killing the sovereign's daughter, Lady Crier.
Crier was Made to be beautiful, flawless, and to carry on her
father's legacy. But that was before her betrothal to the enigmatic
Scyre Kinok, before she discovered her father isn't the benevolent
king she once admired, and most importantly, before she met Ayla.
Now, with growing human unrest across the land, pressures from a
foreign queen, and an evil new leader on the rise, Crier and Ayla
find there may be only one path to love: war.
