Brother
2015
Ania Ahlborn
Brotherfollows a teenager determined to break from his family’s unconventional—and deeply disturbing—traditions. Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it’s served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don’t knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing as to what’s buried in the Morrows’ backyard. But nineteen-year-old Michael Morrow isn’t like the rest of his family. He doesn’t take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. Michael pines for normalcy, and he’s sure that someday he’ll see the world beyond West Virginia. When he meets Alice, a pretty girl working at a record shop in the small nearby town of Dahlia, he’s immediately smitten. For a moment, he nearly forgets about the monster he’s become. But his brother, Rebel, is all too eager to remind Michael of his place…
Society of Lies

Lauren Ling Brown
How far would you go to belong? Maya has returned to Princeton for her college reunion—it’s been a decade since she graduated, and she is looking forward to seeing old faces and reminiscing about her time there. This visit is special because Maya will also be attending the graduation of her little sister, Naomi. But what should have been a dream weekend becomes Maya’s worst nightmare when she receives the news that Naomi is dead. The police are calling it an accident, but Maya suspects that there is more to the story than they are letting on. As Maya pieces together what happened in the months leading up to her sister’s death, she begins to realize how much Naomi hid from her. Despite Maya’s warnings, Naomi had joined Sterling Club, the most exclusive social club on campus—the same one Maya belonged to. And if she had to guess, Naomi was likely tapped for the secret society within it. The more Maya uncovers, the more terrified she becomes that Naomi’s decision to follow in her footsteps might have been what got her killed. Because Maya’s time at Princeton wasn’t as wonderful as she’d always made it seem—after all, her sister wasn’t the first young woman to turn up dead. Now every clue is leading Maya back to the past . . . and to the secret she’s kept all these years.

Jolene Raine
She’s everything I want, and everything I can’t have. I’m no good with frail things. I’m a brute and break nearly everything I touch. Usually on purpose. Which is why I’m intrigued when Ava falls into my lap. Her brothers—my best friends—have no idea what they’re asking of me when I’m tasked with keeping tabs on their little sister. I’m supposed to keep the bad guys away. Only, they seem to have forgotten one very important detail. I am the bad guy. I’m supposed to stay in the shadows, be a ghost in her world, but there are some opportunities too tempting to deny myself. But making my way into Ava’s world means she’s drawn into mine. And here, where I dwell, there’s only pain and death. I was sent to be her protector. So, who’ll be left to save her when the darkness comes for us both?
