NEW BOOK ALERT!!!



Mystify by Astist Arthur

Sasha Carrington has grown up feeling like an outsider, and her parents are too concerned with scaling the Lincoln, Connecticut, social ladder to even notice her. They'd be really horrified to know about the supernatural abilities Sasha and her friends Krystal and Jake possess. But as part of the Mystyx, Sasha has found her place.  Now her parents have suddenly taken an interest in everything she does, and their timing couldn't be worse. Sasha's father wants her to become BFFs with snooty Alyssa Turner, who hates Krystal for stealing her boyfriend. Then there's Antoine Watson, the boy Sasha has liked forever, the boy her parents would never approve of. But with the dark side getting more dangerous by the day, and the Mystyx's own powers growing in unexpected ways, Sasha is facing choices that could affect her friends, her love life—and even her destiny.



Blessed by
Cynthia Leitich Smith

Quincie P. Morris, teen restaurateuse and neophyte vampire, is in the fight of her life -- or undeath. Even as she adjusts to her new appetites, she must clear her best friend and true love, the hybrid werewolf Kieren, of murder charges; thwart the apocalyptic ambitions of Bradley Sanguini, the seductive vampire-chef who "blessed" her; and keep her dead parents’ restaurant up and running. She hires a more homespun chef and adds the preternaturally beautiful Zachary to her wait staff. But with hundreds of new vampires on the rise and Bradley off assuming the powers of Dracula Prime, Zachary soon reveals his true nature -- and a flaming sword -- and they hit the road to staunch the bloodshed before it’s too late. Even if they save the world, will there be time left to salvage Quincie’s soul?



World's End by Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski
(The Second Book of Dormia)

Sleepwalking hero Alfonso Perplexon is on a school trip to France. It's been three quiet years since the 15-year-old discovered that he is a Great Sleeper of the land of Dormia, capable of heroic feats that he would never attempt in waking life. Suddenly, he awakens to discover that he has stowed away on a ship bound for Alexandria, Egypt. Upon arrival, he finds a strange clue in an ocean cave, narrowly escapes an attempt on his life, and reunites with his old friend Bilblox, a tough, now-blind longshoreman with a seeing-eye wolf. Alfonso wants to go back to Dormia, though he's not quite sure why. Might his long-missing father still be alive? Gradually, the details of his latest quest become clear-he must journey underground to try to find the ancient Dormian city of Jasber. Accompanied by his uncle Hill, his friend Resuza (who is now taller and much more attractive), and Bilblox, Alfonso embarks on an expedition that involves constant danger and a villainous enemy.
