WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND
by Tracey Bilen

Sixteen-year-old Sara and her mom are running away from home. But not until tomorrow. Tonight there’s one last dinner with Dad, who still asks why her dead brother is late for dinner.
Sara’s mom says to meet her at the Dairy Dream. Then she never shows up. And everything in the suitcase Sara had packed has been put away. Neatly. Like her dad would do.
Where is Sara’s mom? Will Sara find her before it’s too late?
BREATHE

Life's hard. People make it harder. They tether you to them. Make it difficult to breathe, and damn-near impossible to leave...
Seventeen year-old Abby Rhoades knows this all too well. Born to a mother who could never love her and who vacillates between a sloppy drunk and a suicidal maniac, Abby's never had it easy. But Abby can swim. And Abby has a plan--win the state championship, earn a free ride to Penn State, and leave her small town and suffocating mother behind.
But then the body of Tom Ford, her mother's latest boyfriend and a man Abby adored, washes up along the shore of the Susquehanna River. His injuries suggest murder and suspicion quickly falls on Abby then on her best friend Garrett Scott, both of whom saw Tom the night he died.
They both know what happened that night, but neither one is talking. There's too much at stake and the truth could tear them apart.
PIGMENTS OF MY IMAGINATION
by Angela Kulig
pub: Nov 11, 2011
From the moment Lucia steps into Bayside Art Academy, she is fed a steady stream of lies, but it’s not until she meets Michael that she begins to question the people she trusts. Unraveling fact from fabrication seems impossible until Lucia finds her first painting, and discovers the dead do not lie--at least not to her.
A dozen lifetimes ago, Lucia started a war. Not a war with armies or guns, but a bloody war nonetheless. The path leading Lucia to the truth is hidden within lovely art that spans the ages. In this life, however, Lucia doesn't know where to look. Lost, she turns to the one thing she knows with certainty--she is in love with Leo, and has been before.

When a photo shoot ends in tragedy, Kira discovers her best friend, Lydia, has been keeping a secret. Knowing the truth, and accepting it, will change Kira’s life forever and thrust her into a world of ancient curses, magical objects, and savage enemies. What happens next will challenge everything Kira knows about her world, herself and the shape-shifting warrior she’s falling in love with. No longer the timid mouse her mother accused her of being, but a woman who finds the mental and physical strength to endure and survive.BECOME
BOUND is a heroic tale of true friendship, infinite sacrifice and untamed love.

Sixteen-year old Desolation Black wants nothing more than to stay in Hell where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable. Instead, she’s sent back to Earth where she must face the evil she despises and the good she always feared.
When Desi is forced to embrace her inner demon, she assumes her choice has been made—that she has no hope of being anything other than what her father, Lucifer, has created her to be. What she doesn’t count on, is finding a reason to change—something she’s never had before—a friend.
UNTRACEABLE
by SR Johannes
Nov 29, 2011
16 year old Grace was reared in the wilderness. Her first pet was a bear named Simon. Her first potty, an oak tree. And, her first swing, a forest vine. Grace has lived in the Smokies her whole life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her everything he knew about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. But when Grace's dad goes missing on a routine patrol, unlike everyone in her sleepy mountain town, she refuses to believe he’s dead. When a Cheetos bag and stolen government file materialize, Grace is convinced she’s one step closer to proving all the non-believers wrong.
Then one day while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from imminent danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent, that’s definitely not from her neck of the woods, and a secret. Grace has never felt a connection like this before, certainly not with her ex-boyfriend, the adoring, but decidedly unrugged Wyn.
Now with renewed confidence, Grace travels deeper into the wilderness that has always been her refuge only to learn that her father's disappearance is not a mere coincidence. Soon she’s enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it’s going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to emerge from an epidemic that’s spreading like wild fire, threatening everything and everyone she’s ever loved.
What are you waiting for?

Become sounds pretty interesting!
Krazyyme @ Young Readers
Wow, I really need to read these book. Def. What she left behind!!! :)
Such pretty and interesting covers! I love the one for Become, it's gorgeous! And is it weird that I sort of like the name Desolation? Probably wouldn't be a great name for your child though:)
O the first one sounds scary too. Great finds :)
I love the sound of "Breathe". I'm intrigued by the mystery and I love the cover. Great picks!
Awesome picks. All of these are new to me and sound like they'll be great reads. Breathe and Untraceable definitely have my attention. Thanks for sharing.
They are a few books I'm looking foward too, including Traci's, Ali's, and Shelli's.
YES! So much awesome to look forward to!
Ohhh What She Left Behind looks really good!!!! :D
All new to me :) I like that
Oh great picks! I just got Become last week and really looking forward to reading it.

I haven't heard of most of these. I must say I need Pigments just because of the cover and the title. Yes, I'm easy. LOL
So many great sounding books. A couple of those sound like they might be heart wrenching family dramas.
I haven't heard of any of these other than What She Left Behind but I like the sound of Breathe and Pigments of My Imagination. Thanks for sharing, you guys :)
EPE!! That one with the freaky angel sounds good!!
Thanks for sharing...:)
Such beautiful covers! Great picks! :)
LOTS of good books here, looks like! Especially What She Left Behind and Breathe. I'll be looking forward to reading your reviews of those two in particular!
Smiles!
