Laini Taylor
Laini Taylor’s sequel to the highly praised Daughter of Smoke and Bone is the genre-straddling, Gothic- urban fantasy, Days of Blood & Starlight (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, $18.99). Set in ghostly, romantic Prague, a 17-year old art student is caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. “ . . . Taylor’s writing is as sumptuous as poetry, and the story overflows with dark and delightful magic . . .”—Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2011. Taylor is the author of the National Book Award finalist Lips Touch, as well as the novels Blackbringer and Silksinger.
Tonya Hurley
Tonya Hurley’s latest in her young adult trilogy is The Blessed (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, $17.99). Three aimless girls all end up in the same hospital—and each wake up with a token from a gorgeous, mysterious boy they’ve only just met, Sebastian. As each girl gets wrapped up in finding out just who Sebastian is, they each discover their own strengths, and realize the only way to save themselves is to save each other. Hurley is the author of the New York Times bestselling series, ghostgirl.
Gennifer Albin
In Gennifer Albin’s dystopian debut, Crewel (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $17.99), 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 once you become a Spinster, there is no turning back. Now caught in a web of lies and intrigue, Adelice must decide who to trust. “Albin's intricate debut has the right balance of mystery, romance, and drama. . .”—Publishers Weekly.
