Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's #1)
By Ransom Riggs
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience.
As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason.
And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive.

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna#1)
By Kendare Blake
Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story...
Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
And she, for whatever reason, spares his life

Masque of the Red Death By- Bethany Griffin
By- Bethany Griffin
Everything is in ruins.
A devastating plague has decimated the population, and those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles around them.
So what does Araby Worth have to live for?
Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery makeup . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.
But in the depths of the club--in the depths of her own despair--
Something Strange And Deadly By Susan Dennard
Something Strange And Deadly (Something Strange and Deadly #1)
By- Susan Dennard
The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia…
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she’s just read in the newspaper—
The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.
And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor…from her brother.
Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including their maddeningly stubborn yet handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.

Arcadia Awakens By Kai Meyer
Arcadia Awakens (Arkadien #1)
By - Kai Meyer
To New Yorker Rosa Alcantara, the exotic
world of Sicily, with its network of Mafia
families and its reputation for murder and
intrigue, is just that—exotic, and wholly
unknown. But when tragedy strikes, she
must travel there, to her family’s ancestral
home, where her sister and aunt have built
their lives and where centuries of family
secrets await her. Once there, Rosa wastes
no time falling head over heels for
Alessandro Carnevare, the son of a Sicilian
Mafia family, whose handsome looks and
savage grace both intrigue and unsettle her.
But their families are sworn enemies, and
her aunt and sister believe Alessandro is
only using Rosa to infiltrate the Alcantara clan.
And when Rosa encounters a tiger one night
—a tiger with very familiar eyes—she can no
longer deny that neither the Carnevares nor the Alcantaras are what they seem.
Ancient myths brought to life in the Sicilian countryside, dangerous beasts roaming
the hills, and a long history of familial bloodlust prove to Rosa that she can’t trust
anyone—not even her own family. Torn between loyalty to her aunt and love for
her family’s mortal enemy, Rosa must make the hardest decision of her life: stay
in Sicily with her new love . . . or run as far and as fast as she can.

Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
Incarnate (Newsoul #1)
by Jodi Meadows
NEW SOUL
Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range,
a million souls have been reincarnated over
and over, keeping their memories and
experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born,
another soul vanished, and no one knows why.
NO SOUL
Even Ana's own mother thinks she's a no soul,
an omen of worse things to come, and has kept
her away from society. To escape her seclusion
and learn whether she'll be reincarnated, Ana
travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are
afraid of what her presence means. When dragons
and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?
HEART
Sam believes Ana's new soul is good and worthwhile.
When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms.
But can he love someone who may live only once, and
will Ana's enemies—human and creature alike—let them
be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that
gave her someone else's life, but will her quest threaten
the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation
for all?

A Demon Made Me Do It by Penelope King
******* First Book Cover
A Demon Made Me Do It (Demon-blood #1)
by - Penelope King
Some girls share clothes, a bathroom, or a bedroom.
Seventeen-year-old Liora Greyson has to share, too.
Only she shares her body--with a demon. Liora just wants
to survive her final year of high school unscathed, her dark
secret intact. But the walls she’s carefully constructed to
eep people away crack wide open once she meets the sexy
and mysterious Kieron, and he lights her world on fire. She
can’t let him know she transforms into a demon named
"Lucky" at nightfall—a demon with an entirely separate
personality who passes out Torment, Justice, and Revenge
like Halloween candy. Turns out Kieron is the one who
should be afraid once Lucky discovers his true identity
and motivations. Liora wants to love him, but Lucky
thinks he’s public enemy number one. And having a
demon with a vendetta show up during a romantic date
puts a serious crimp in any relationship. Fighting your
demons is one thing. Having one that fights back, messes
with your guy, and leaves you with nasty hangovers is
quite another. Being bad has never been so good...
