THE
BETROTHED
by Kiera
Cass.
When
King Jameson declares his love for Lady Hollis Brite, Hollis is
shocked - - and thrilled. After all, she's grown up at Keresken
Castle, vying for the King's attention alongside other daughters of
the nobility. Capturing his heart is a dream come true.
But
Hollis soon realises that falling in love with a king and being
crowned king may not be the happily ever after she thought it would
be. And when she meets a commoner with the mysterious power to see
into her heart, she finds that the future she really wants is one she
never thought to imagine.

THE BOY IN
THE RED DRESS
by
Kristian Lambert
New Years Eve, 1929.
Millie is running the show at the Cloak & Dagger, A swinging
speakeasy in the French Quarter, While her aunt is out of town. The
new year is just around the corner, and all of New Orleans is out to
celebrate, but even wealthy partiers' diamond earnings can't outshine
the real star of the night. The boy in the red dress. Marion is the
club's star performer and his fans are legion - - if mostly
underground.
When a young socialite wielding a photograph of Marion starts
asking questions, Millie wonders if she's just another fan. But then
her body is found crumpled in the Courtyard, dead from an apparent
fall off the club's balcony, and all signs point to Marion as the
murderer. Millie knows he's innocent, but local detectives aren't so
easily convinced.
As
she chases clues that lead to cemeteries and dead ends, Millie's
attention is divided between the wry and beautiful Olive, a waitress
at the Cloak & Dagger, and Bennie, The charming bootlegger who's
offered her help to solve the case. The clock is ticking for the
fugitive Marion, but the truth of who the killer is might be closer
than Millie thinks.

OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES

the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is
preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The
once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, Its fate hanging
on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm,
outwit, and outmanoeuvre his fellow students to mentor the winning
tribute.
The
odds are against him. He's been given the assignment of mentoring the
female tribute form district 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates
are now completely intertwined – every choice Coriolanus makes
could lead to favour or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena,
it will be a fight tot he death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts
to feel for his doomed tribute...and must weigh his need to follow
the rules against his desire to survive no matter what to takes.
