Nell by Jeanette Baker
Jillian Fitgerald, whose grand house had 60 rooms, grew up
together with Frankie Maguire, the kennel keeper's son, in Northern Ireland.
That she was rich and he was poor did not daunt their dreams of someday
marrying. But Jillian was headed for a privileged life and the university.
Frankie, drawn into the nationalist cause, faced a charge of murder and the dark
walls of a jail cell.
With their lives torn apart, there seemed no chance for Jillian
and Frankie. But the heart owns knowledge to which the mind is not privy.
Generations before, an Irish princess, Eleanor "Nell" Fitzgerald, her family
killed, her life in jeopardy, her beloved torn from her arms, was preparing to
reach out to another woman who shared her heritage...a woman in another century.
Now, from the court of Henry VIII to the violent streets of modern Belfast, Nell
and Jillian will become two souls joined in one courageous battle to prove that
neither prison bars nor the hands of time can stop the power of love...

Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost
Genre: Dark Fantasy | Paranormal Romance
She’s a mortal with dark powers…
After a tragic accident
scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that
the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel
electricity and learn a person’s darkest secrets through a single
touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude…until creatures of the
night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress
call to the world’s most infamous vampire…
He’s the Prince of Night…
Vlad Tepesh inspired the
greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don’t call him
Dracula. Vlad’s ability to control fire makes him one of the most
feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon
against him – a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When
Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening
to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an
enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

This Is Not A Test by Courtney Summers
Genre: Dark Fantasy | Young Adult | Post-Apocalyptic
It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up.
As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, everyone’s motivations to survive begin to change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life–and death–inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?

Silver by Rhiannon Held
Andrew Dare is a werewolf. He’s the enforcer for the Roanoke pack, and responsible for capturing or killing any Were intruders in Roanoke’s territory. But the lone Were he’s tracking doesn’t smell or act like anyone he’s ever encountered. And when he catches her, it doesn’t get any better. She’s beautiful, she’s crazy, and someone has tortured her by injecting silver into her veins. She says her name is Silver, and that she’s lost her wild self and can’t shift any more.
The packs in North America have a live-and-let-live attitude, and try not to overlap with each other. But Silver represents a terrible threat to every Were on the continent.
Andrew and Silver will join forces to track down this menace while discovering their own power and their passion for each other.
