Bite Me
Jennifer Dugan
Poe never imagined that during her senior year of high school she would be attacked by a pair of vampires and turned into one herself. And she never dreamed her longtime crush, Jolie — who seemed to maybe actually like Poe back — would turn out to be a slayer. When Jolie drives a wooden stake into her chest, Poe’s heart is broken at the betrayal. But somehow she survives the slaying, and when she awakens, it’s unclear which is stronger inside her: the thirst for blood, or the thirst for revenge on Jolie. Now the hunter has become the hunted. But, when the girls come face to face again, Jolie seems overjoyed that Poe is still alive. And beneath Poe’s rage remains a burning passion of a different sort. Can a vampire and a slayer ever be more to each other than predator and prey?

Such Great Heights
Rajani LaRocca
Siya Kumar is done with liars. Part of the reason Siya joins her school’s mock trial team is to honor the memory of her mother, a lawyer who was killed in a car accident when Siya was just ten years old. Her mom always told her that the truth is like a flame that burns away lies. When Raj Raghavan, varsity soccer star and mock trial co-captain, seems interested in Siya, it feels too good to be true. Everything is golden until an overnight team bonding session, when Siya accidentally gets locked in a room with another guy until dawn. Even though Siya swears nothing happened, she doesn’t feel like Raj believes her. At the same time, the details of the mock trial case are suspiciously similar to the circumstances of her mom’s death–which leads Siya to wonder if it was really just a car accident that took her mother’s life. From award-winning author Rajani LaRocca comes a contemporary retelling of the Ramayana that asks whether seeking the truth is always the right thing to do. Sometimes, is the past better left behind?
