Fans of One of Us Is Lying and The Hazel Wood are cordially invited to spend one fateful night surviving an elite private school's epic masquerade ball in Jen Wilde's debut thriller, This Is the Way the World Ends. As an autistic scholarship student at the prestigious Webber Academy in New York City, Waverly is used to masking to fit in--in more ways than one. While her classmates are the children of the one percent, Waverly is getting by on tutoring gigs and the generosity of the school's charming and enigmatic dean. So when her tutoring student and resident "it girl" asks Waverly to attend the school's annual fundraising Masquerade disguised as her, Waverly jumps at the chance--especially once she finds out that Ash, the dean's daughter and her secret ex-girlfriend, will be there. The Masquerade is everything Waverly dreamed of, complete with extravagant gowns, wealthy parents writing checks, and flowing champagne. Most importantly, there's Ash. All Waverly wants to do is shed her mask and be with her, but the evening takes a sinister turn when Waverly stumbles into a secret meeting between the dean and the school's top donors--and witnesses a brutal murder. This gala is harboring far more malevolent plots than just opening parents' pocketbooks. Before she can escape or contact the authorities, a mysterious global blackout puts the entire party on lockdown. Waverly's fairy tale has turned into a nightmare, and she, Ash, and her friends must navigate through a dizzying maze of freight elevators, secret passageways, and back rooms if they're going to survive the night. And even if they manage to escape the Masquerade, with technology wiped out all over the planet, what kind of world will they find waiting for them beyond the doors?

Refusing to give up, Addie and her friends decide to put on a top-secret, invitation-only burlesque show to raise funds. But word soon gets out, and the slut- and body-shaming begin. Has Addie been resisting the patriarchy, or playing right into its hands?

But when the first tournament of the year takes a scary turn, Millie and Tag find themselves unexpectedly working together. Even though Millie decidedly does not like Tag, she does enjoy teaching him a thing or two about debate. And who knows, maybe Millie and Tag might make a better team than they think . . .

Temperance Jean Madigan and Duncan Brady have never gotten it right. After one radiant, secret summer together when they were eighteen, they’ve been on-again off-again ever since. Now, despite red-hot chemistry and TJ’s closeness with Duncan’s family, they’re virtually strangers, only capable of adversarial banter, awkward small talk - and the occasional messy hookup. When a wedding at the Brady’s winery lands TJ there for the summer, their mutual avoidance strategies prove impossible. The last thing TJ wants is to be under those angsty, heated glances Duncan thinks he hides. And for Duncan, having fiery TJ constantly close is the ultimate distraction that he absolutely can’t afford. When forced proximity begins to chip away at their armor, buried tensions resurface, old wounds urge confrontation, and once-in-a-lifetime love demands one last chance to finally get it right. Searing, compelling, and emotional, Right Where We Left Us is a raw and unforgettable romance.

Maggie Stuart, protagonist of The Last Rite and The Red Ring, moves to Montreal, searching for magic. Since the events of her sixteenth year, Maggie has become something of a chameleon. She studies art when finances allow, and otherwise pursues her own work with often stolen art supplies while working at a miserable minimum wage job. Alone but trying not to be lonely, Maggie has learned some slight of hand, but it doesn't come close to satisfying her need to work real magic. Now, she's starting to feel like something is about to change, maybe for the better, maybe for the much, much worse.
In her first collection of poetry, Jen Rose Yokel explores life in all its heartbreaking, messy beauty, from childhood memories of growing up in central Florida, to wrestling with faith, to falling in love. With a lyric sensibility she seeks out the sacred moments within the mundane and hurried days of our lives, whether it's watching a plastic bag blowing in the wind, or finding romance in a busy airport. Reading these poems is a reminder of the grand reasons we are alive: to give ourselves to the ones we love, to watch the seasons fold into one another, to stand in awe before grandeur, to seek silence in the small moments. They are a reminder to take our own two hands and build kingdoms amidst the ruins of the world.
No matter how hard we try to measure it, love is immeasurable. And being loved is one of the greatest gifts anyone can receive.
