The Lonely Hearts Club sequel

When Penny Lane started The Lonely Hearts Club, the goal was simple: to show that girls didn't need to define themselves by how guys looked at them, and didn't have to value boyfriends over everything else. 


 Penny thought she'd be an outcast for life...but then the club became far more popular than she ever imagined it would be.

But what happens when the girl who never thought she'd date a good guy suddenly finds herself dating a great one?  
She doesn't need a boyfriend, but she wants it to work out with this particular boyfriend.  And he wants it to work out with her.

Penny needs to figure out how to balance what she wants with what everyone else wants.  She struggles to get to the heart of how hard relationships can be and why they are sometimes worth all the drama and comedy they create.

A Felix Taylor Adventure


It's been a year since Felix Taylor travelled back to ancient Rome and saved his world from a lethal plague. Again his knowledge of Latin seems useless now that life in the 23rd century has returned to normal.

 But is it really?

A stranger has discovered the time machine and used it to project back into the past. It becomes clear his purpose is to reverse Felix's success, to bring back the plague and doom future generations to death. 

To make matters worse, this stranger is very close to Felix.With help from his friend Carolyn, Felix must return to the world of Julius Caesar, as well as a later era divided by religion, to stop the re-emergence of the plague. 

If he fails to do so, his world will turn to dust like ancient Rome.

Sequel to Madmen's Daughter

Her Dark Curiosity
by Megan Shepherd




Months have passed since Juliet Moreau returned to civilization after escaping her father's island--and the secrets she left behind. Now back in London, she is rebuilding the life she once knew and trying to forget Dr. Moreau's horrific legacy--
though someone, or something, hasn't forgotten her.

As people close to Juliet fall victim one by one to a murderer who leaves a macabre calling card of three clawlike slashes, Juliet fears one of her father's creations may have also made it off the island. She is determined to find the killer before Scotland Yard does, though it means awakening sides of herself she had thought long banished, and facing loves from her past she never expected to see again.

As Juliet strives to stop a killer while searching for a serum to cure her own worsening illness, she finds herself once more in the midst of a world of scandal and danger. Her heart torn in two, past bubbling to the surface, life threatened by an obsessive killer--Juliet will be lucky to escape alive.

Hunger Games with Vampires?

The Trap
by Andrew Fukuda



Final Book in The Hunt Trilogy

 With the knowledge that they hold the key to reversing the dusker condition, Gene and Sissy find themselves back in the Palace, making an uneasy bargain with the Ruler, who is desperate to keep some secrets of his own. A dramatic confrontation with Ashley June, Gene's first love, who was left behind when they escaped The Dome and who subsequently turned into a dusker herself, sets up a reveal that turns the entire series on its head. 

The duskers are driven by a desire to eat the humans, which is as unfathomable as their methods are cruel, and each moment that Gene and Sissy can outlast them is a breathtaking victory!

Sequel to Starters

Enders
by Lissa Price


You know the setup: a society where bio-engineering enabled older people inhabit the bodies of teens, thus giving them a chance to revisit youth. It's INSANE to imagine.  But it's a way for people to earn money to survive!

 While Callie, a teen Metal with a chip in her head, helped bring down the evil Prime Destinations company, the mastermind, the Old Man, got away. Now, despite the loss of his facility and all the computers and equipment it contained, he is still able to access Callie's head. 

But something leads Callie to believe her father may have survived the plague that took down his generation, and might know something useful about the technology. 

And if that's not all...there seems to be an inappropriate love interest in the form of the Old Man's son.

Callie needs to heed the Old Man's advice: Trust no one but yourself . . . and then question that!

Sequel to Dead End in Norvelt

Adventures from Norvelt continue in the Jack Gantos sequel:


 Whodunit this time?

 There's a murder of yet another old lady.  Is it old Mr. Spizz, who is on the lam after confessing to the murder of nine others? Could it be Mr. Huffer, the local undertaker?

Well,  Miss Volker enlists Jack to help her solve this mystery. Perhaps not the best decision-making by the duo, but then the Cuban Missile Crisis looms and, as Jack says, Bad choices don't matter anymore... Since were all going to be blown up anyway. 

 Jack ends up sailing their decrepit VW Beetle along the back roads of Tennessee and Virginia attempting to find an answer... Miss Volker ready with a sharpened harpoon on the roof rack. Join them on a wild and challenging road-trip, murder mystery, meditation on American history, and love story all in one.

Sequel to Sacred


The story begun in Sacred continues...

Scarlett loves her boyfriend, the dashing, mysterious Will Cohen. But now he's gone east for college, and Scarlett is stuck home on Catalina Island. Senior year should be a breeze, but between dealing with her parents' separation and her wild best friend, Lily, things are off to a rocky start. And then there's Gunner. Dangerous, dark, ferociously attractive Gunner. Lily's potential "boyfriend," Gunner . . . 


Scarlett distracts herself by spending time with her horse and delving into ecstatic mysticism, a way to practice Kabbalah. Through this practice, she hopes to learn to control her emotions, and begin to make sense of her place in the world. But Scarlett's world is increasingly unrecognizable.

Are Lily and Scarlett becoming too different to stay friends? Is Will still the love of Scarlett's life, even though she has feelings for Gunner? Does being in love mean only being attracted to one person? The more Scarlett questions, the fewer answers there seem to be.

Second book in the Shadowland series!

Rory Miller thought her life was over when a serial killer set his sights on her and forced her into witness protection. But a fresh start on Juniper Landing Island was exactly what she and her family needed. For the first time in years she and her sister hang out at the beach, gossip about boys, and party together. She's also made friends with a local clique, including a magnetic and mysterious boy named Tristan. But Rory's world is about to change again. 
 
Picturesque Juniper Landing isn't what it seems. The truth about the swirling fog that rolls in each morning, the bridge that leads to nowhere, and those beautiful locals who seem to watch Rory's every move is more terrifying than being hunted by Steven Nell. All Rory ever wanted was the truth. Even if it means learning that she can never go home again.

Sequel to Fair Coin

Spectral Phenomena and Parallel Universes (and romance)?!?  It doesn't get much better than this...




Impelled by spectral phenomena at his senior prom and the unexpected reappearance of Zoe, an "analog" of his girlfriend Jena from a parallel universe, Ephraim again steps out of his own world. Landing in a somewhat more advanced one,  he learns from an adult version of Jena that all the universes have entered a cycle of uncontrolled proliferation and collapse. How to reboot the continuum without causing loved ones from less "real" planes to disappear?

Just as in Fair Coin, the plot is a mess of comings and goings driven by romantic and ethical conflicts, hidden agendas, mad-science style devices and arbitrary physics.

Fans of alternate worlds and science fiction will find a fun read in this second book!
