Shadows

Ilsa J. Bick - Hamvak
Alexet, ​a cseppet sem hétköznapi 17 éves lányt távol minden civilizációtól, a hegyek között érte a katasztrófa, amelyben a régi világ néhány perc alatt megsemmisült. Vérvörös lett az égbolt és hullazöld a hold. Az emberiség nagyobbik része elpusztult. Az állatok acsargó szörnyeteggé változtak, az életben maradt fiatalok közül pedig sokan könyörtelen emberevő zombivá lettek. A hegyeken túl a túlélők bandái fegyverrel vadásznak egymásra, és szó nélkül lelövik, aki az útjukba kerül. A dermesztően hideg erdőben Alex megmenti egy kislány életét, majd találkoznak Tommal, a jóképű, de sötét titkokat rejtegető afganisztáni veteránnal. A három fiatal együtt folytatja útját a zord vadonban, és életében először Alex szerelmes lesz. De vajon sikerül-e életben maradniuk a hátborzongató szörnyűségekkel teli világban?

Gennifer Albin - Crewel
Incapable. ​Awkward. Artless. That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail. Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested. Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight. Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape. Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back.

Regret ​was for people with nothing to defend, people who had no water. Lynn knows every threat to her pond: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and, most importantly, people looking for a drink.

Having a life means dedicating it to survival, and the constant work of gathering wood and water. Having a pond requires the fortitude to protect it, something Mother taught her well during their quiet hours on the rooftop, rifles in hand. But wisps of smoke on the horizon mean one thing: strangers. The mysterious footprints by the pond, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won’t stop until they get it…. With evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, debut author Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl’s journey in a barren world not so different than our own.
