Over a year after her parents sent her away from Hawaii to live with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, Makani Young is still adjusting to her new life. She's made a small group of close friends and even flirted with romance, but her past in Hawaii is still hard to forget.
And then . . . one by one the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn't know who's next on the list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for . . . literally.
There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins will have you swooning with fear and romance, and is the perfect page-turner for fans of Scream Queens and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

For readers of Schindler's List, The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas comes a heart-breaking story of the very best of humanity in the very worst of circumstances.
In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too.
So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the true love story of the tattooist of Auschwitz.
In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything
they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in
Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about
themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz
and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward. For
Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the
World of Mages - and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his
relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family
crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his
newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's
smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure
what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had
enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back
to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most
emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It
tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. Carry
On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the
Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure,
and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try
to define us.

Supernova is Marissa Meyer's fearless finale to the New York
Times-bestselling Renegade trilogy - you won't want to miss this.
You can't wear a mask forever. Love and Anarchy won't allow it.
With their alter egos at war, their allies at each other's throats
and their feelings for one another growing, Nova and Adrian battle
to keep their secret identities under wraps as their greatest fears
are realized. Anarchy is once again heading for Gatlon City, and
this time it may not survive.
One of Us is Lying meets This Lie Will Kill You but with a chilling
supernatural twist that will keep you guessing until the very end .
. . 'Chilling, funny and gripping' Emily Barr, author of The Truth
and Lies of Ella Black 'A supernatural terror-fest!' Kat Ellis,
author of Harrow Lake 'Point Horror for a new generation' Kathryn
Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First Young, brunette women are
being attacked in London. 16-year-old, Irish-born Niamh has just
arrived for a summer of freedom, and quickly discovers that the
girls being attacked look frighteningly similar to her. But Niamh
is determined not to let her fear destroy her Summer. But can her
new friends be trusted? Will she be able to stay ahead of the
attacker? Or will she be next? Packed with voice-driven whodunit
storytelling, and a retro slasher-movie feel reminiscent of cult
classics Scream and Urban Legend, this dark, pacy, and
irresistibly-creepy debut really has something for everybody! 'Last
One to Die is by turns chilling, funny and gripping. I rooted for
Niamh all the way through, as she navigated her way through horror
after horror. As well as a terrifying plot masterfully told, this
book has nuanced, tender relationships between characters, and is
particularly good on female friendship. I loved (and was totally
fooled by) the red herrings along the way, and the final twist made
me want to go back to the beginning and read it all over again.'
Emily Barr, author of The Truth and Lies of Ella Black 'Point
Horror for a new generation . . . best read under the covers in one
sitting.' Kathryn Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First 'A
supernatural terror-fest! Murphy takes you on a terrifying murder
spree across London, relentlessly building the tension to a
blood-curdling climax. I absolutely devoured it!' Kat Ellis, author
of Harrow Lake

While Cinder dreams of a girl with eyes the colour of the sea,
Princess Ella longs for something she cannot yet imagine. When the
two girls meet, their hearts are filled with joy, but what will
happen when the clock strikes midnight? With one family being a
source of encouragement, the other determined to crush all attempts
at happiness, the odds are firmly stacked against our heroes. Yet
with the power of love and strength, hope prevails. The result is a
richly purposeful and inspirational, tale where girl meets girl and
love faces adversity. Will Cinder and Ella find their happily ever
after?
An ode to lifelong friendships and discovering your queer community, perfect for fans of Girls Like Girls and Some Girls Do.
You only get one soulmate, and I'm not throwing mine away.
Alana and Gray have been the perfect pair all through high school, and neither of them think that should have to change just because Alana came out as a lesbian. Sure, their romantic relationship is over, but their best-friends-since-forever dynamic is stronger than ever. Really, the only difference is that instead of kissing Gray herself, Alana sets him up with other girls to do that.
Enter Talia: tall, confident, gorgeous. Gray's master plan is simple: befriend Tal and charm her into being his girlfriend. With Alana's help, of course.
But as Alana spends more time with Tal, she is introduced to a world of possibilities. A world outside her small town. A world in which Alana can fully embrace her queer identity. A world where Alana and Talia are . . . together.
As the two get closer, Alana must juggle her loyalty to Gray with her growing feelings for Tal. Can she stay true to herself and to her best friend? More importantly, does she want to?
A tender and romantic exploration of identity, love and friendship that turns the 'friends to lovers' romance trope on its head.
