DON'T LET THE FOREST IN Andrew Perrault would do anything for Thomas Rye. He lives and breathes for Thomas Rye. He would die for Thomas Rye. So when Andrew returns to Wickwood Academy for senior year and his twin sister decides to cut both Andrew and Thomas out of her life, Andrew knows he has to be there for Thomas more than ever before. Thomas needs him--and he needs Thomas. But something strange is happening at Wickwood. Something to do with Thomas. Something Thomas won't tell him. When the police arrive on campus with questions about Thomas's parents, rumors start flying that Thomas murdered them. Thomas won't say a word, not to anyone. Not even to Andrew. When Andrew catches Thomas sneaking out, he follows him into the off-limits forest on the edge of campus. Andrew expects to confront Thomas, to comfort him, to support him.

THE DIVIDING SKY Liv Newman is tired of living for other people. Well, she's tired of living for richer people. She'll do whatever it takes to drag herself and the kids she calls family out of the slum where they're living, and if that means picking up a few illegal clients here and there on top of selling her best memories to the wealthy, so be it. That's what being a Proxy is all about. But when her richest client asks for a memory she doesn't (read: she can't) have, Liv has a choice to make. She could leave the city, risking her life to raiders in the wild, to get a glimpse of the stars like her client wants. Or she could stay in the city and keep working for scraps--scraps that will never amount to the sum she's been offered. The choice isn't all that hard. But Liv doesn't know she's got a rookie Forceman on her tail. Adrian Rao believes he's on the tail of a newdrug  dealer, someone messing w...

COMPOUND FRACTURE Democrats think we're all Trump-drunk illiterate hillbillies, self-sabotaging, too stupid or too proud to accept the help we clearly need; Republicans point at our poverty and dying communities and remind us that liberals don't care about us, which is funny because neither do they. Miles Abernathy is a lot of things his neighbors don't like. He's an Abernathy, for one, and a socialist. And he's trans. But most of all, he's a proud West Virginian, and so he'll never leave. Even when things get tough. When Miles finds some evidence that could change the upcoming local elections--and the future of his town--he feels like he has to share. Sneaking out to a party with this evidence on his person, Miles puts himself in harms way... and he pays the price. Waking up in the hospital, Miles knows he is lucky to be alive. And he thinks, at first, that the ghost of the miner following him around is just the result of his h...

A FAMILY OF KILLERS Warren Bullock doesn't trust himself. Not when a little voice in his head keeps insisting he do terrible, horrible things. So far, he's kept his hands clean, but who knows what will happen if he lets his guard down? He might hurt someone. He might kill someone. When some family friends goes missing, Warren's father sets out to find them. But then Warren's father disappears, too. Warren knows he's not the best choice to head a search party. Any of his brothers would be better, but his brothers all have farms and families of their own. It's up to Warren to head out and bring everyone home. So Warren sets out for Kansas, following his father's footsteps, and in Kansas, he runs into a roadside inn run by the Bender family. They claim his father never came through, and Warren fears the trail's gone cold. But the Bender family seem... strange. And they've been watching his every move. Sudden...
