Monstrousby Thomas E. Sniegoski
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Simon Pulse
Released 5/30/2017
Sidney and her friends might have survived the storm that came to the small island of Benediction, but now the storm has reached Boston, and the city isn’t prepared for what’s coming in this sequel to the “unpredictable” (VOYA) and “fast-paced” (School Library Journal) Savage from New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Sniegoski.
The horrors that began in Savage continue in Boston as Sydney and her friends work to protect the city from the newly crazed rampage of animals and try to figure out the origin of the storm and its power.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Monstrous?
Great question! MONSTROUS is a sequel to my novel from last year, SAVAGE. My favorite thing about MONSTROUS is the fact that it is, indeed a sequel. That I was given the opportunity to continue to play is this extremely exciting, and quite frightening universe that I've created. Also, to play with the characters (who survived!) the events of SAVAGE again, and to bring them to the next level of their development . . . as well as introducing new characters to the horrific situations going on in the world first seen in SAVAGE. In MONSTROUS I get to turn the volume up to 11.

Washed Ashoreby Kerr Thomson
Advance Reader Copy Giveaway
U.S. Only
Chicken House
Released 5/30/2017
On a wild Scottish island, a tragedy washes up on the storm-beaten shore: the bodies of a whale and a man. Fraser, desperate for adventure, and Hayley, visiting from Texas, become tangled in the mystery.
But Fraser's younger brother Dunny is distraught by the discovery. He hasn't spoken in years, and lately he's been acting more strangely than ever.
Together, the three meet a man living in the abandoned caves nearby. They start to wonder if he might lie at the center of something darker than they had previously thought. For the whispering sea conceals a terrible secret, and to discover the truth, one of them must learn to listen...
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Washed Ashore?
My favorite thing about Washed Ashore is the connection the young people have in the story with the world around them. The island boys in the story have a real feeling for and understanding of the sky above them and the cliffs that reach up into the sky and the beach that shelters beneath the cliff and the ocean that rolls relentlessly up that beach. And the boys love the wildlife that teems within the ocean, especially the whales. As the story progresses the young American visitor to the island comes to love this new and amazing landscape just as much. Washed Ashore is a call to young people everywhere to explore their own world, to find their own adventures wherever they are, be it a remote island or a city park or even their own backyard.

When Dimple Met Rishiby Sandhya Menon
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Simon Pulse
Released 5/30/2017
A laugh-out-loud, heartfelt YA romantic comedy, told in alternating perspectives, about two Indian-American teens whose parents have arranged for them to be married.
Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right?
Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him—wherein he’ll have to woo her—he’s totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself.
The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not?
Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about When Dimple Met Rishi?
My favorite thing about WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI is that it provides marginalized readers the opportunity to see themselves in a book about everyday teenagers doing everyday teenage things! It's not an Issue Book (although it does address racism, misogyny, and microaggressions). It shows brown teens living their lives and having the happy endings they deserve, which is such a powerful thing to be able to do, especially in today's political climate.

Royal Bastardsby Andrew Shvarts
Hardcover
Disney-Hyperion
Released 5/30/2017
Being a bastard blows. Tilla would know. Her father, Lord Kent of the Western Province, loved her as a child, but cast her aside as soon as he had trueborn children.
At sixteen, Tilla spends her days exploring long-forgotten tunnels beneath the castle with her stablehand half brother, Jax, and her nights drinking with the servants, passing out on Jax’s floor while her castle bedroom collects dust. Tilla secretly longs to sit by her father’s side, resplendent in a sparkling gown, enjoying feasts with the rest of the family. Instead, she sits with the other bastards, like Miles of House Hampstedt, an awkward scholar who’s been in love with Tilla since they were children.
Then, at a feast honoring the visiting princess Lyriana, the royal shocks everyone by choosing to sit at the Bastards’ Table. Before she knows it, Tilla is leading the sheltered princess on a late-night escapade. Along with Jax, Miles, and fellow bastard Zell, a Zitochi warrior from the north, they stumble upon a crime they were never meant to witness.
Rebellion is brewing in the west, and a brutal coup leaves Lyriana’s uncle, the Royal Archmagus, dead—with Lyriana next on the list. The group flees for their lives, relentlessly pursued by murderous mercenaries; their own parents have put a price on their heads to prevent the king and his powerful Royal Mages from discovering their treachery.
The bastards band together, realizing they alone have the power to prevent a civil war that will tear their kingdom apart—if they can warn the king in time. And if they can survive the journey . . .
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Royal Bastards?
My favorite thing about ROYAL BASTARDS is the ensemble cast, and the scenes where the five main characters really shine as a group. I've always loved that type of story, the 'ragged team of misfits forced together by circumstance", and I ended up totally falling in love with my motley bastard crew: Jax the big-hearted stablehand, Zell the thoughtful disgraced warrior, Lyriana the idealistic princess, Miles the heartsick pining scholar, and of course, Tilla, the rebellious, snarky, spirited bastard who sets off the whole chain of events. As much fun it was to write big action setpieces, the scenes where the gang bonds and banters, gets to know each other, are the ones I really loved most.

Desi Lee knows how carburetors work. She learned CPR at the age of five. As a high school senior, she has never missed a day of school and has never had a B in her entire life. She's for sure going to Stanford. But she’s never had a boyfriend. In fact, she’s a disaster in romance, a clumsy, stammering humiliation-magnet whose botched attempts at flirting have become legendary with her friends.
So when the hottest human specimen to have ever lived walks into her life one day, Desi decides to tackle her flirting failures with the same zest she’s applied to everything else in her life. She finds her answer in the Korean dramas her father has been obsessively watching for years—where the hapless heroine always seems to end up in the arms of her true love by episode ten. It's a simple formula, and Desi is a quick study.
Armed with her “K Drama Rules for True Love,” Desi goes after the moody, elusive artist Luca Drakos—and boat rescues, love triangles, and fake car crashes ensue. But when the fun and games turn to true feels, Desi finds out that real love is about way more than just drama.

Night Magicby Jenna Black
Hardcover
Tor Teen
Released 5/30/2017
Jenna Black returns to the quarantined city of Philadelphia, where an unsuspecting seventeen-year-old has unknowingly unleashed a dark power that transforms the city into a monstrous hellscape in Night Magic.
Philadelphia is locked in the grip of an evil magic that transforms its streets into a nightmare the minute the sun sets each night. While most of the city hunkers down and hopes to survive the long winter nights, Becket Walker is roaming the darkened streets having the time of her life.
Once, the guilt of having inadvertently let the night magic into the city―and of having killed her onetime best friend―had threatened to destroy her. But now she’s been Nightstruck, and all her grief and guilt and terror have been swept away―along with her conscience. So what if she’s lost her friends, her family, and her home? And so what if her hot new boyfriend is super-controlling and downright malevolent? Mesmerized by the power and freedom of not having to care about anyone but herself, Becket is sinking ever deeper into the night magic’s grasp.
But those who love her refuse to give up on her―even if she’s given up on them. If they can’t find a way to help Becket break the night magic’s hold, the entire city might soon find itself shrouded in perpetual night. But the last thing Becket wants is to be “rescued” from her brand new life, and she will fight tooth and claw to stay exactly where she is.

Scandal, secrets, and heartbreak abound in this juicy, modern girl-meets-prince story—perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Jennifer E. Smith.
For the first time ever, the Weston sisters are at the same boarding school. After an administration scandal at Libby’s all-girls school threatens her chances at a top university, she decides to join Charlotte at posh and picturesque Sussex Park. Social-climbing Charlotte considers it her sisterly duty to bring Libby into her circle: Britain’s young elites, glamorous teens who vacation in Hong Kong and the South of France and are just as comfortable at a polo match as they are at a party.
It’s a social circle that just so happens to include handsome seventeen-year-old Prince Edward, heir to Britain’s throne.
If there are any rules of sisterhood, “Don’t fall for the same guy” should be one of them. But sometimes chemistry—even love—grows where you least expect it. In the end, there may be a price to pay for romancing the throne...and more than one path to happily ever after.
