In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US
Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview
convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold
cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship,
gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't
crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active
case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin
to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the
country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage
sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma
becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon
seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives,
he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has
his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None
Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the
monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside
us.
They Both Die at the End meets The Loneliest Girl in the Universe
in this mind-bending sci-fi mystery and tender love story about two
boys aboard a spaceship sent on a rescue mission, from two-time
National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer. Stonewall Honor Award
winner! Two boys, alone in space. Sworn enemies sent on the same
rescue mission. Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with
no memory of a launch. There's more that doesn't add up: evidence
indicates strangers have been on board, the ship's operating system
is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has
barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making
his mission succeed-not when he's rescuing his own sister. In order
to survive the ship's secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work
together and learn to trust each other . . . especially once they
discover what they are truly up against. Love might be the only way
to survive. * Chicago Public Library's Best of the Best Books of

Seventeen-year-old Matt is the son of one of the most powerful
criminals in the world. But his father's world has never suited
Matt. His desire for a different life grows when he meets a boy
named Jason. Smart, chaotic, and as disinterested in a life of
crime as Matt is, the pair quickly become friends. When Jason comes
out to him, Matt thinks they have a shot at becoming more than
that, revealing a part of himself he has long repressed out of fear
of his father. As Matt and Jason's connection grows deeper, Matt
grows suspicious of his new friend's motives. He really does seem
like the perfect boy - maybe even too perfect, especially when he
starts encouraging Matt to disclose details of his father's empire.
Now Matt must figure out if he can trust his new friend, or his
father's plans for him, and must decide if he can do the impossible
and come clean about who he really is.
The book that all SHATTER ME fans have been waiting for is finally here. The fourth incredible instalment of Tahereh Mafi's New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Victoria Aveyard's The Red Queen, Stranger Things and Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows
The girl with the power to kill with a single touch now has the world in the palm of her hand.
Juliette Ferrars thought she'd won. She took over Sector 45, was named Supreme Commander, and now has Warner by her side. But when tragedy strikes, she must confront the darkness that dwells both around and inside her.
Some bonds can't be broken. Ten years after the tragic
disappearance of her twin sister Leah, sixteen-year-old Mia Klein
still struggles to exist within a family that has never fully
recovered. Deep in the dark recesses of her mind lies an
overwhelming shadow, taunting Mia with mind-splitting headaches
that she tries to hide in an effort to appear okay. Leah Klein's
life as she knew it ended the day she was taken, thrust into a
world of abuse and fear by a disturbed captor - 'Mother,' as she
insists on being called. Ten years later, any recollections of her
former life are nothing more than fleeting memories, except for
those about her twin sister, Mia. As Leah tries to gain the courage
to escape, Mia's headaches grow worse. Soon, both sisters will
discover that their fates are linked in ways they never realised.
