Clockwork Angel
In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight
against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history
forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous
prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.
The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark
supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers
that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem,
the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against
the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and
humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the
Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop
them.
Enclave
New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most
of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is
no more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a
Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a
young boy. When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been
decimated by the tunnel monsters - or Freaks - who seem to be growing more organized,
the elders refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled
from the enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight - guided
by Fade's long-ago memories - in the ruins of a city whose population has
dwindled to a few dangerous gangs.
Ann Aguirre's thrilling young adult novel is the story of
two young people in an apocalyptic world- - facing dangers, and feelings,
unlike any they've ever known.
Slayers
Dragons exist. They’re ferocious. And they’re smart: Before
they were killed off by slayer-knights, they rendered a select group of eggs
dormant, so their offspring would survive. Only a handful of people know about
this, let alone believe it – these “Slayers” are descended from the original
knights, and are now a diverse group of teens that includes Tori, a smart but
spoiled senator’s daughter who didn’t sign up to save the world.
The dragon eggs have fallen into the wrong hands. The
Slayers must work together to stop the eggs from hatching. They will fight;
they will fall in love. But will they survive?
Sweet Venom
Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start
over at a new school. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also
a tiny bit scary. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. And even
more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the
monster.
Gretchen is tired of monsters pulling her out into the wee
hours, especially on a school night, but what can she do? Sending the minotaur
back to his bleak home is just another notch on her combat belt. She never
expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though.
Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very
much. But that all tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her
appear on her doorstep and claim they're triplets, supernatural descendants of
some hideous creature from Greek myth, destined to spend their lives hunting
monsters.
These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the
once-beautiful gorgon maligned by myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in
this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight.
The Hunger Games
Winning will make you famous.
Losing means certain death.
The nation of Panem, formed from a post-apocalyptic North
America, is a country that consists of a wealthy Capitol region surrounded by
12 poorer districts. Early in its history, a rebellion led by a 13th district
against the Capitol resulted in its destruction and the creation of an annual
televised event known as the Hunger Games. In punishment, and as a reminder of
the power and grace of the Capitol, each district must yield one boy and one
girl between the ages of 12 and 18 through a lottery system to participate in
the games. The 'tributes' are chosen during the annual Reaping and are forced
to fight to the death, leaving only one survivor to claim victory.
When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected
as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place.
She and her male counterpart Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger
representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives. , she
sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For
her, survival is second nature.
The Uglies
Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be
wrong with that?
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for
her license - for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday
brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly
attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only
job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.
But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be
pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally
learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The
authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and
turn her in, or never turn pretty at all.
The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.
