Dig by A.S. King
“Only a generation removed from being Pennsylvania potato farmers,
property developers Gottfried and Marla Hemmings now sit atop a seven-figure
bank account-wealth they've declined to pass on to their adult children or
teenage grandchildren. ‘Because we want them to thrive,’ Marla always says.
What does thriving look like? Like carrying a snow shovel everywhere. Like
selling pot from a fast-food drive-thru window. Like a first-class ticket to
Jamaica between cancer treatments. Like a flea circus in a trailer. Like the
GPS coordinates to a mound of dirt in a New Jersey forest. As the rot beneath
the surface of the Hemmings' suburban respectability begins to spread, the
far-flung grandchildren gradually find their ways back to one another, just in
time to uncover the terrible cost of maintaining the family name.” –WorldCat
Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake
Three Dark Crowns; Book Four
“After the grim confrontation with Queen Katharine, the rebellion lies
in tatters. Jules's legion curse has been unbound, and it is up to Arsinoe to
find a cure, even as the responsibility of stopping the ravaging mist lies
heavy on her shoulders, and her shoulders alone. Mirabella has disappeared. Katharine's
reign remains intact -- for now. When Mirabella arrives, seemingly under a
banner of truce, Katharine begins to yearn for the closeness that Mirabella and
Arsinoe share. But as the two circle each other, the dead queens hiss caution
-- Mirabella is not to be trusted. Allegiances will shift. Bonds will be
tested. But the fate of the island lies in the hands of its queens. It always
has.” –WorldCat
Heroine by Mindy McGinnis
When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she has
to find a way to hold on to her spot as the catcher for a team expected to make
a historic tournament run. Behind the plate is the only place she's ever felt
comfortable, and the painkillers she's been prescribed can help her get there.
The pills do more than take away pain; they make her feel good. With a new
circle of friends--fellow injured athletes, others with just time to
kill--Mickey finds peaceful acceptance, and people with whom words come easily,
even if it is just the pills loosening her tongue. But as the pressure to be
Mickey Catalan heightens, her need increases, and it becomes less about pain
and more about want, something that could send her spiraling out of control.”

Stronger, Faster. And More Beautiful by Arwen Elys Dayton
“The future is curious. Today our bodies define us. We color our hair;
tattoo our skin; pierce our ears, brows, noses. We lift weights, run miles,
break records. We are flesh and blood and bone. Tomorrow has different rules. The future is no longer about who we
are--it's about who we want to be. If you can dream it, you can be it. Science
will make us smarter, healthier, flawless in every way. Our future is
boundless. This is a story that begins tomorrow. It's a story about us. It's a
story about who comes after us. And it's a story about perfection. Because
perfection has a way of getting ugly.” –Amazon
