Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr

September 4th 2012 by HarperCollins

"She hadn't gone more than a few steps when Kaleb caught up with her. 'Are you ignoring me?'

    'No,' she lied.

His voice always made her want to shiver Kaleb's voice was like dark chocolate, so rich that she felt strangely sinful listening to him talk about the most mundane things. She resisted the temptation to close her eyes.

He stepped closer to her. 'So yo didn't just see me and walk away?'

     'Maybe,' Mallory half admitted. (pgs. 6-7)

Entice by Jessica Shirvington

Book #2 - Violet Eden Chapters series

September 4th 2012 by Sourcebooks Fire

"By the time I reached the front doors of my apartment building, I'd completely forgotten about my appearance an unconsciously but predictably refocused on Lincoln. Sick anticipation crept through me, circulating and intensifying with every breath.

Yeah, I have it bad.

If possible, I had it worse than ever.

There was a time when I thought my love for Lincoln was unrequited, but now...Well, it's more complicated than ever. We had a crazy, wired vibe--two people dancing around each other while simultaneously chomping at the bit to get as close as possible--and it was like hacking through a thicket of raw tension whenever we were near each other."

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore

Book #3 - Lorien Legacies series

August 21st 2012 by HarperCollins

"Marina proved herself to be a strong ally with amazing Legacies on the battlefield yesterday. She can breathe underwater, see in the dark and heal the sick and wounded. Like all Garde, she also has telekinesis. And because we're so close in order -- I'm Number Six and she's Number Seven -- our bond is special. When the charm still held and we had to be killed in order, the Mogadorians would have had to get through me before they could get to her. And they never would have gotten through me."

The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost

September 25th 2012 by Random House Children's Books

"Will had long ago learned how to cork his emotions deep inside, showing nothing but a bland mask to his peers.

#46: IF STRANGERS KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FEELING YOU GIVE THEM THE ADVANTAGE.

Will was the tall rangy kid who always sat near the back, slumping to minimize his height, never making waves. The way he dressed, the way he spoke, the way he moved through life: quiet, contained, invisible. Exactly the way his parents had taught him.

#3: DON'T DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF.

But a pounding bass line of worry still pulsed in his chest: RUN, WILL. DON'T STOP. Could the timing of Dad's text--at the moment the black car spotted him--be a coincidence?

#27: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COINCIDENCE."

(pg. 16-17 ARC)

So far, this is one great book. I can't wait until September, so I can start handing this one out to all the teens at the library where I work!

52 Reasons to Hate My Father by Jessica Brody

(@jessicabrody)

July 3rd 2012 by Farrar, Straus & Giroux

"MY FATHER IS GOING TO KILL ME.
  Actually, on second thought, he probably doesn't have time to kill me. But he is going to send someone to do it for him. He's really good at that. Sending people. He's done it for every major event in my life. First day of school, first date, sweet sixteen party, birthdays, dance recitals, even my high school graduation last week. All of them faithfully attended and video documented by one of my father's minions. He's got loads of them. So many I can hardly remember any of their names anymore. But without fail, anytime something significant happens, one of them always manages to show up in my father's place to perform the requisite parental duty." (p. 3)

Until I Die by Amy Plum

May 8th 2012 by HarperCollins Publishers

"Vincent whispered, 'Kate. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.'

'Well, I'm here because of you, ' I whispered.

He looked at me quizzically.

'You saved me from my darkest place.'

I wondered, not for the first time, what would have happened if I hadn't met Vincent and emerged from the prison of crippling grief that I'd been locked inside after my parents' fatal car crash." (pg. 25

Mothership by Martin Leicht and Isla Neal

July 10th 2012 by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers

"We've been playing Most Ingenious Ways to Destroy Britta McVicker, the game that Ducky invented this afternoon to cheer me up. I have to say it's working pretty well, although my ideas keep leaning toward physical pain and/or public humiliation, whereas Ducky seems intent on working on strictly a psychological level. Like sneaking into Britta's house every morning to swap out her bra with a series of nearly identical brassieres with infinitesimally larger cup sizes, causing her to believe her boobs are shrinking. I had no idea what an evil mastermind Ducky was until he busted that one out." (pg. 20)

You guys, this book is hilarious! Elvie is so snarky. I absolutely love her!

"Adrian's stamp on the apartment was like light chasing away the gruesome shadows of the past.

Sometimes when I was down, Adrian's personality had a similar effect.

'Nice blouse, Sage,' he told me, deadpan. 'It really brings out the khaki in your pants.'"

(pg. 39)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

June 29th 2010 by MTV Books and Pocket Books

"When I was done reading the poem, everyone was quiet. A very sad quiet. But the amazing thing was that it wasn't a bad sad quiet at all. It was just something that made everyone look around at each other and know that they were there. Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend." (pg 66)

City of Lost Souls Teaser

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

May 8th 2012 by Margaret K. McElderry 

" 'It isn't safe. Jace is probably tracking you--'

Clary lost it. 'Every time you try to keep me safe, you wreck my life!'

'No, the more involved you get with Jace the more you wreck your life!' her mother snapped back. 'Every risk you've taken, every danger you've been in, is because of him!' [...]

'But if he dies...'

'There's no chance of getting Jace back,' said Alec.

'There may already be no chance,' said Jocelyn. [...] 'When are you going to face the fact that the two of you are not meant to be together?'

Clary jerked back as if her mother had hit her." (pg. 122)

May 1st 2012 by Hyperion Books for Children

"In the voice of Apophis, they spoke in unison: 'No one leaves this place alive. Good-bye, Sadie Kane.'

 Would you be surprised to learn that things went badly from there?

  I didn't think so.

  Our first casualties were Felix's penguins. The criosphinxes blew fire at the unfortuante birds, and they melted into puddles of water.

  'No!' Felix cried.

  The room rumbled, much stronger this time." (pg. 16-17)

Dreamless by Josephine Angelini

May 29th 2012 by HarperTeen

She hauled herself out of bed and noticed that her shirt was half torn off, there were odd sticks and dead leaves tangled in her hair, and she'd lost a shoe. Of course, she ran into Lucas on her way to the bathroom. He stared at her for a moment, his eyes ticking up and down her bedraggled frame while the rest of his body remained rigid.

"What? You going to yell at me again?" Helen challenged, to tired to be careful.
"No." His voice broke. "I'm done fighting with you. It obviously isn't helping."
"Then what?"
"I can't do this, " he said, more to himself than Helen. "My father was wrong."

Her bleary brain was still processing his words when he opened the nears window and jumped out of it. (pg. 110-111 of eARC)

May 1st 2012 by HarperTeen

"For a moment I see Will standing before me, both our guns between us - his hand, I could have shot his hand, why didn't I, why? - and I almost scream his name.

Then he's gone.

I get out of bed and lift the mattress with one hand, propping it up on my knee. Then I shove the gun beneath it and let the mattress bury it. Once it is out of sight and on longer press to my skin, my head feels clearer."  (pg. 9)

"Kylie held up a hand to silence Della and stared at the spirit as she edged closer.

'Do you know what I am?' Jane spoke in a hushed tone that seemed to whisper through the trees. The blue jay in the tree chirped extra loud.

'No,' Kylie said. 'I don't.' Then the bird chirped oddly and fell from the tree and landed with a lifeless thud at the spirit's feet." pg. 70-71

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda
(@andrewfukuda)

May 8th 2012 by St. Martin's Griffin

"Never smile or laugh or giggle, never cry or get teary-eyed. At all times, carry a bland, stoic expression; the only emotions that ever crack the surface of people's faces are herper-cravings and romantic-lust; and I am obviously having nothing to do with either. Never forget to apply butter liberally all over you body when venturying out in the daytime. Because in a world like this, it's a tough task explaining a sunburn, or even a suntan." pg. 2 (ARC)
