Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down.
Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her.
A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only "the Believers" know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all.
They are our future—if they survive…

Because of what you are, the Believers will
hunt you down.
A storm is brewing on the streets of LA, one
that has intensified since a tragic and deadly confrontation claimed an
innocent life.
While Gabriel Stewart trains his army of teen
psychics to stop Alexander Reese—the obsessed leader of the Believers—the
fanatical church becomes more bent on the annihilation of all Indigo and
Crystal children. They’re silencing the voices of the telepathic hive, one soul
at a time, with frightening experiments cruelly executed on vulnerable minds.
When the Believers torture a mysterious
homeless boy, Oliver Blue, they brainwash him into betraying his own. The boy
becomes a deadly pawn to take Gabriel down. As the fires of chaos burn around
him, Gabe is running out of time. He’ll need to confront his past—and the man
who made him—before the hope of peace for the future is silenced forever.

Unhinged (Splintered 2)
by A.G. Howard
Coming Jan 7, 2014 from Amulet Books
Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole. She was crowned Queen of the Red Court and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the boy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly appealing Morpheus. Now all she has to do is graduate high school.
That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs.
Could she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man she knows has manipulated her before? Will her mother and Jeb trust her to do what’s right?

Ava’s life went from bad to worse the night Chance became a vampire.
He won’t have anything to do with her. Ava understands why—because he blames her—but it doesn’t mean she likes it.
And it doesn’t help that she’s starting to feel something for Erik, the boy who once wanted her dead. Especially when Chance decides that he does still love her, and wants her to be with him for eternity.
Now she has a choice: Humanity…or forever as a vampire with Chance.
But Ava wants nothing more than to be human again. At least, she thought that was all she wanted.
Thankfully her best friend Kayla has a plan to distract Ava from her boy troubles, and they go in search of Kayla’s missing dad. A great idea, but one that brings Sebastian back into Ava’s life. Along with another, more sinister former member of his coven.
Sebastian and Zyris face off against Ava and her friends, resulting in Ava making yet another choice that changes the course of everyone’s lives, and leaves her wondering if being human again is really worth losing everything.
The Peculiarsby Maureen McQuerry
Amulet Books - Now Available!
On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to leave her mother and grandmother, and their comfortable home in the city, to search for her father who disappeared into the northern wilderness known as Scree when Lena was a child. Scree is an untamed and mysterious part of the country said to be inhabited by Peculiars, people whose unusual characteristics make them unacceptable to modern society, as well as those who are “strange,” have “unnatural talents,” or are outlaws. Lena’s own doctor and even the local authorities all believe her father to have personality “flaws,” causing Lena to wonder if she too is like him. Is he, and she, Peculiar?
On the train ride north, Lena meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to Knoster, a town on the edge of Scree, to work in the private home and library of the inventor Dr. Beasley. En route, they cross paths with the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When the marshal learns who Lena's father is, he becomes enamored of her, following her to Knoster. But Lena is unsure of Saltre’s true motivations. In town Lena learns more about Dr. Beasley, his home called Zephyr House, and the strange folk who go there but who never come out again. But Lena still longs to get to Scree and find her father, even if that means confronting her deepest fears.
This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk and fantasy.
