Death, Dickinson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez
Frenchie Garcia can’t
come to grips with the death of Andy Cooper. Her friends didn’t know she
had a crush him. And they don’t know she was the last person with him
before he committed suicide. But Frenchie’s biggest concern is how she
blindly helped him die that night.
Frenchie’s already insane
obsession with death and Emily Dickinson won’t help her understand the
role she played during Andy’s “one night of adventure.” But when she
meets Colin, she may have found the perfect opportunity to recreate that
night. While exploring the emotional depth of loss and transition to
adulthood, Sanchez’s sharp humor and clever observations bring forth a
richly developed voice.

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass 2) by Sarah J Maas
After a year of hard
labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena
Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin.
Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from
even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the deadly
charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in
frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could
jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more
dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to
destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a
choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?
