This deliciously spooky, yearningly romantic ghost story from a
brilliant debut author will thrill fans of Kalynn Bayron and Wilder
Girls by Rory Power. Jade Nguyen has always lied to fit in. She's
straight enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough - at least for
this summer with her estranged father in Vietnam. Just five weeks
of ignoring the quietly decaying French colonial house he's fixing
up, then college and freedom are hers. But soon Jade begins waking
up every morning certain that something has clawed down her throat
... from the inside. Then the ghost of a beautiful bride visits her
with a cryptic warning: DON'T EAT. When her father and little
sister don't believe her, Jade decides to scare them into leaving
by staging some haunting events of her own. She recruits Florence,
the daughter of her dad's business associate (and more of a
distraction than Jade bargained for) to help. But the house has
other plans. It's hungry. A home, after all, is only as powerful as
those who breathe new life into its bones. And this one is
determined never to be abandoned again ...

brains... With the fair arriving in town, adrenaline and excitement

clown masks? With fights breaking out and Flinch in full force,

games begin!
When Dawson Sumter goes missing, all he leaves behind is a smattering
of blood in room 4 of the debt-ridden motel owned by Neera Singh's
family.
Disappearances like this aren't uncommon in the rural Georgia town of
Carrion. Especially during the Cicada Festival, which takes place every
thirteen years when a cicada brood returns from underground, shrieking
their deafening screams.
Desperate to find out if Dawson is still alive, Neera joins forces with
three other local teens: Isaiah, clandestine true crime podcaster;
Reid, son of the wealthiest man in the region; and Sam, estranged
daughter of the local hitman. As they find themselves entangled in a
messy web of secrets and lies, they discover just how deep the rot in
Carrion goes . . .
The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s 11 in this thrilling adventure
about a teenager determined to pull off the perfect heist in the middle
of her father’s wedding.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn’t thrilled that her dad’s getting
remarried…again. She’s especially not thrilled that he cheated on her
mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of
her rightful inheritance.
But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of
guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up,
everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She’ll play the part of
dutiful daughter, but in reality she’ll be redistributing millions from
her father’s online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code
he keeps in the estate’s safe.
With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one
former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the
second. But she didn’t plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an
interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European
cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When
everything seems like it’s going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on
what really matters: getting rich. And when she’s done, “something
borrowed” will be the understatement of the year.
