Oxford Blood
Rachael Featherstone
Eva has one dream: to study English at Oxford University. Not only will she receive a world-class education – getting into Oxford is a pass to freedom. But when Eva and her best friend George are invited to Interview Week, they find themselves part of a kill-or-be-killed competition on an anonymous student forum, Oxford Slays.
When Eva finds George dead on the steps of a statue in the college, she knows he’s been murdered – but all eyes are now on her. Can she clear her name, catch the true killer and win her place at Beecham College? Eva has one week to prove her innocence, and Oxford Slays will be watching.
The Enemy’s Daughter
Melissa Poett
It’s been 37 years since the Republic was destroyed. Now, the five clans and the Kingsland fight for control. Isadora, daughter of the clans’ leader, risks her life on the battlefield to help injured clan soldiers. But when she stops an attack from Tristan, a Kingsland assassin, his soldiers shoot her with a poisoned arrow.
As Isadora lies dying, Tristan does the unimaginable: he offers to save her life using a rare magic. Yet, in choosing to live, Isadora is unknowingly bound to the mysterious Tristan, through a magical connection that could allow him access to her emotions, her deepest memories and the very information he needs to destroy the clans.
The Executioners Three
Susan Dennard
Freddie Gellar didn’t mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She’d simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she’d called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying? Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie’s instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there’s a murderer at large.
But her investigation is quickly disrupted by the rivalry between her school and the school of the partying teens she got arrested. For over twenty years now, the two student bodies have had an ongoing prank war, and Freddie’s failed attempt at Good Samaritanism has upped the ante. Big time. Worse, the clever and gorgeous leader of the rival prank squad has set his sights on Freddie.
Strange Nature
Mary Watson
Jasmin has always known that monsters are real. When she was a child, she witnessed her famous, adored grandfather attempt to kill her grandmother. Now Jasmin is seventeen, watchful and curious. She hangs out at the local college, sneaking into the lectures of charismatic professor Theo Merrick and spying on an intoxicatingly cool group of older students. She can only dream of being part of their world.
Then, when a college student dies in mysterious circumstances, Jasmin seizes her chance to join the group as they try to solve the mystery – while unwittingly unravelling her own dark past.
Girls of Dark Divine
E. V. Woods
A puppet master wielding a dark curse. A boy made of shadows. And a girl who must sever the strings and set her sisters free. Emberlyn is a Marionette – one of a troupe of hauntingly beautiful girls who have been cursed to perform until they turn to dust. When another one of her sisters falls, Emberlyn decides she must fight back against their Puppet Master and free them from this violent dance. Whisked away to a new theatre, Emberlyn seizes the chance to escape, but instead brings dark secrets and a boy made of shadows to light.
As her strings tighten, Emberlyn realises the only way to break free is to end the Puppet Master once and for all. Except tearing the life out of his veins might destroy the Marionettes too.
