Echoes
of Us (The Hybrid Chronicles #3) by Kat Zhang
All Eva ever wanted was the chance to be herself. But in
the Americas, to be hybrid—to share your body with a second soul—is not
tolerated past childhood. Now Eva and Addie, her sister soul, are constantly on
the move, hiding from the officials who seek to capture them. But the tide is
changing. A revolution is brewing, and people are starting to question the
hybrids' mistreatment.
Then Marion, an ambitious reporter, offers Eva and Addie
a daring proposal: If they go undercover and film the wretched conditions of a
hybrid institution, she will not only rescue them, she'll find a way to free
Jackson, the boy Addie loves. It's risky, and Eva will have to leave Ryan and
her friends behind, but if she succeeds, it could also tip the scales forever
and lead to hybrid freedom.
As Eva and Addie walk into danger, they cling to each
other and the hope of a better future. But the price they might pay is higher
than they ever could have imagined.
Falls
the Shadow by Stefanie Gaither
When Cate Benson was a kid, her sister, Violet, died. Two
hours after the funeral, Cate’s family picked up Violet’s replacement. Like
nothing had happened. Because Cate’s parents are among those who decided to
give their children a sort of immortality—by cloning them at birth—which means
this new Violet has the same smile. The same perfect face. Thanks to
advancements in mind-uploading technology, she even has all of the same
memories as the girl she replaced.
She also might have murdered the most popular girl in
school.
At least, that’s what the paparazzi and the anti-cloning
protestors want everyone to think: that clones are violent, unpredictable
monsters. Cate is used to hearing all that. She’s used to defending her sister,
too. But Violet has vanished, and when Cate sets out to find her, she ends up
in the line of fire instead. Because Cate is getting dangerously close to
secrets that will rock the foundation of everything she thought was true.
In a thrilling debut, Stefanie Gaither takes readers on a
nail-biting ride through a future that looks frighteningly similar to our own
time and asks: how far are you willing to go to keep your family together?

not an occultist,” Jackaby said. “I have a gift that allows me to see truth
where others see the illusion--and there are many illusions. All the world’s a
stage, as they say, and I seem to have the only seat in the house with a view
behind the curtain.”

need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the
unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary--including the ability to see
supernatural beings. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important
details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby’s assistant. On
her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial
killer is on the loose. The police are convinced it’s an ordinary villain, but
Jackaby is certain it’s a nonhuman creature, whose existence the police--with
the exception of a handsome young detective named Charlie Cane--deny.

Sway
by Kat Spears
In Kat Spears’s hilarious and often poignant debut, high
school senior Jesse Alderman, or "Sway," as he’s known, could sell
hell to a bishop. He also specializes in getting things people want---term
papers, a date with the prom queen, fake IDs. He has few close friends and he
never EVER lets emotions get in the way. For Jesse, life is simply a series of
business transactions.
But when Ken Foster, captain of the football team,
leading candidate for homecoming king, and all-around jerk, hires Jesse to help
him win the heart of the angelic Bridget Smalley, Jesse finds himself feeling
all sorts of things. While following Bridget and learning the intimate details
of her life, he falls helplessly in love for the very first time. He also finds
himself in an accidental friendship with Bridget’s belligerent and self-pitying
younger brother who has cerebral palsy. Suddenly, Jesse is visiting old folks
at a nursing home in order to run into Bridget, and offering his time to help
the less fortunate, all the while developing a bond with this young man who
idolizes him. Could the tin man really have a heart after all?
A Cyrano de Bergerac story with a modern twist, Sway is
told from Jesse’s point of view with unapologetic truth and biting humor, his
observations about the world around him untempered by empathy or
compassion---until Bridget’s presence in his life forces him to confront his
quiet devastation over a life-changing event a year earlier and maybe, just
maybe, feel something again.
