The House Saphir
Marissa Meyer
Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. She’s descended from witches, and pretends to be one, although her only magic is the ability to see ghosts. She can barely make a living – but Count Armand Saphir will pay a fortune if she can rid him of his murderous ancestor’s ghost.
Now death has returned to the House Saphir, and Mallory is almost certain the killer is mortal. To have any hope of Armand’s payment, she’ll need to solve the murder, banish the ghost and keep passing as a witch.
Still, that’s easy compared to her biggest challenge: trusting her heart. Especially when her heart’s
desire could be the murderer himself.

The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers. Annaleigh isn’t sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who – or what – are they really dancing with?

Grave Flowers
Autumn Krause
Marry the prince. Then kill him.
Princess Madalina and her twin, Inessa, are born attached at the hand – the only time the sisters were ever united.
Madalina is gentle, finding peace amongst her magical flowers – flowers ideal for torture and torment, though not in her hands, for Madalina dreams of escape.
Inessa is ruthless – betrothed to a wealthy heir, she has been working to a secret mission: marry the prince, then kill him.
But when Inessa becomes trapped in ghostly purgatory, Madalina must take her twin’s place as a bride with deadly orders.
In a rotten kingdom, everything is politics and poison. Can Madalina resist the infuriatingly clever prince and, for the sake of her family, put aside her heart?

With Kingsley nowhere to be seen, Matilda must delve into the twisted heart of Hidden Beach to uncover the answers she’s desperately craving. But secrets run thicker than blood, and blood runs like seawater. And everyone here is LYING.
