The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux in this steamy, shocking second installment of the Origin series. When Evelyn Dasher crossed paths with Luc, she was thrown headfirst into the world of the Lux—only to discover that she was already far more involved in their world than she ever suspected. Now, a new threat looms, reports of a flu-like, fatal virus that the government insists is being spread by Luxen. This horrifying illness that changes whoever it touches is spreading panic across a country already at its breaking point.
Conceal Don’t Feel by Jen Calonita
What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other? Calonita brings us another YA fractured fairy tale in the Twisted Tale series, this time focusing on the characters from Frozen.

Rebel by Marie Lu
With unmatched suspense and her signature cinematic storytelling, Lu plunges readers back into the unforgettable world of Legend for a truly grand finale. As brothers Day and Eden struggle to accept who they’ve each become since their time in the Republic, a new danger creeps into the distance that’s grown between them. Eden soon finds himself drawn so far into Ross City’s dark side, and even his legendary brother can’t save him. At least not on his own.

Shatter City Scott Westerfeld
Westerfeld brings us the highly awaited sequel to Impostors. When the world sees Frey, they think they see her twin sister Rafi. Frey was raised to be Rafi’s double, and now she’s taken on the role… without anyone else knowing. Her goal? To destroy the forces that created her. As the city comes under a catastrophic attack, Frey must leave the shadows and enter the chaos of warfare — because there is no other way for her to find her missing sister and have her revenge against her murderous father.
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

With Wayward Son, Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. A book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. Simon Snow’s hero’s journey might be over – but his life has just begun.
