Revived by Cat Patrick
As a little girl, Daisy Appleby was killed in a school bus crash. Moments after the accident, she was brought back to life.
A secret government agency has
developed a drug called Revive that can bring people back from the dead,
and Daisy Appleby, a test subject, has been Revived five times in
fifteen years. Daisy takes extraordinary risks, knowing that she can
beat death, but each new death also means a new name, a new city, and a
new life. When she meets Matt McKean, Daisy begins to question the moral
implications of Revive, and as she discovers the agency's true goals,
she realizes she's at the center of something much larger — and more
sinister — than she ever imagined.
Soldier boys
emerged from the darkness. Guns gleamed dully. Bullet bandoliers and
scars draped their bare chests. Ugly brands scored their faces. She knew
why these soldier boys had come. She knew what they sought, and she
knew, too, that if they found it, her best friend would surely die.
In a dark future America where
violence, terror, and grief touch everyone, young refugees Mahlia and
Mouse have managed to leave behind the war-torn lands of the Drowned
Cities by escaping into the jungle outskirts. But when they discover a
wounded half-man—a bioengineered war beast named Tool—who is being
hunted by a vengeful band of soldiers, their fragile existence quickly
collapses. One is taken prisoner by merciless soldier boys, and the
other is faced with an impossible decision: Risk everything to save a
friend, or flee to a place where freedom might finally be possible.
Happily ever after is a thing of the past.
A series of natural disasters has
decimated the earth. Cut off from the rest of the world, England is a
dark place. The sun rarely shines, food is scarce, and groups of
criminals roam the woods, searching for prey. The people are growing
restless.
When a ruthless revolutionary
sets out to overthrow the crown, he makes the royal family his first
target. Blood is shed in Buckingham Palace, and only sixteen-year old
Princess Eliza manages to escape. Determined to kill the man who
destroyed her family, Eliza joins the enemy forces in disguise. She has
nothing left to live for but revenge, until she meets someone who helps
her remember how to hope-and love-once more.
Now she must risk everything to ensure that she does not become . . .
The Last Princess.
Getting drunk homecoming night your senior year is never a good idea, but Jake Hayes never expected it all to end with a car crash and a t-post embedded in his throat.
His biggest regret about it all? What he never said to Samantha Shay. He's been in love with her for years and never had the guts to tell her. Now it's too late. Because after that night, Jake will never be able to talk again.
When Jake returns to his small island home, population 5,000, he'll have to learn how to deal with being mute. He also finds that his family isn't limited to his six brothers and sisters, that sometimes an entire island is watching out for you. And when he gets the chance to spend more time with Samantha, she'll help him learn that not being able to talk isn't the worst thing that could ever happen to you. Maybe, if she'll let him, Jake will finally tell her what he didn't say before, even if he can't actually say it.
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

As the two fall fiercely in love, Jase's family makes Samantha one of their own. Then in an instant, the bottom drops out of her world and she is suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?
