Without Merit: A Novel by Colleen Hoover

“Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.”
The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.
Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines, when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.
Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.
Poignant and powerful, Without Merit explores the layers of lies that tie a family together and the power of love and truth.

Love grows such strange things.
Anna-Marie
McLemore's debut novel The Weight of
Feathers garnered fabulous reviews and was a finalist for the
prestigious YALSA Morris Award, and her second novel, When the Moon was Ours, was longlisted for the 2016 National
Book Award for Young People's Literature. Now, in Wild Beauty, McLemore introduces a spellbinding setting and two
characters who are drawn together by fate―and pulled apart by reality.
For
nearly a century, the Nomeolvides women have tended the grounds of La Pradera,
the lush estate gardens that enchant guests from around the world. They’ve also
hidden a tragic legacy: if they fall in love too deeply, their lovers vanish.
But then, after generations of vanishings, a strange boy appears in the
gardens.
The
boy is a mystery to Estrella, the Nomeolvides girl who finds him, and to her
family, but he’s even more a mystery to himself; he knows nothing more about
who he is or where he came from than his first name. As Estrella tries to help
Fel piece together his unknown past, La Pradera leads them to secrets as
dangerous as they are magical in this stunning exploration of love, loss, and
family.

New York City.
1927.
Lights are bright.
Jazz is king.
Parties are wild.
And the dead are coming...
After battling a supernatural sleeping sickness that
early claimed two of their own, the Diviners have had enough of lies. They're
more determined than ever to uncover the mystery behind their extraordinary
powers, even as they face off against an all-new terror. Out on Ward's Island,

people long forgotten--ghosts who have unusual and dangerous ties to the man in
the stovepipe hat, also known as the King of Crows.
With terrible accounts of murder and possession
flooding in from all over, and New York City on the verge of panic, the
Diviners must band together and brave the sinister ghosts invading the asylum,
a fight that will bring them fact-to-face with the King of Crows. But as the
explosive secrets of the past come to light, loyalties and friendships will be
tested, love will hang in the balance, and the Diviners will question all that
they've ever known. All the while, malevolent forces gather from every corner
in a battle for the very soul of a nation--a fight that could claim the
Diviners themselves.

Victoria-Margaret is the crown princess
of the empire, a direct descendent of Victoria I, the queen who changed the
course of history. The imperial tradition of genetically arranged matchmaking
will soon guide Margaret into a politically advantageous marriage. But before
she does her duty, she'll have one summer of freedom and privacy in a far
corner of empire. Posing as a commoner in Toronto, she meets Helena Marcus,
daughter of one of the empire's greatest placement geneticists, and August
Callaghan, the heir to a powerful shipping firm currently besieged by American
pirates. In a summer of high-society debutante balls, politically charged tea
parties, and romantic country dances, Margaret, Helena, and August discover
they share an extraordinary bond and maybe a one-in-a-million chance to have
what they want and to change the world in the process.
Set in a near-future world where the British Empire was preserved not by the cost of blood and theft but by the effort of repatriation and promises kept, That Inevitable Victorian Thing is a surprising, romantic, and thought-provoking story of love, duty, and the small moments that can change people and the world.
