Existence by David Brin
Gerald Livingston is an orbital garbage collector. For a hundred
years, people have been abandoning things in space, and someone has to
clean it up. But there’s something spinning a little bit higher than he
expects, something that isn’t on the decades’ old orbital maps. An
hour after he grabs it and brings it in, rumors fill Earth’s infomesh
about an “alien artifact.”
Thrown into the maelstrom of worldwide shared experience, the Artifact
is a game-changer. A message in a bottle; an alien capsule that wants
to communicate. The world reacts as humans always do: with fear and
hope and selfishness and love and violence. And insatiable curiosity.
Shifted Perspective by J. Bridger
Caleb Byrne's life seems to be going well after he's accepted to his
dream school for pre-med studies. Going great, sure, until he grows four
paws, a tail, and fluffy curls... Now he has to deal with being the
world's lamest shape shifter, an estranged family with furry secrets of
their own, a prying girlfriend, and a killer werewolf on the loose, and
he thought life had been hard before!
Black City by Elizabeth Richards
A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war
In
a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and
tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war,
sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie
Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the
unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that
causes Ash’s long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and
then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing
if they’re caught, they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too
strong.
When
Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly
conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into
war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.

Bron
Jones was abandoned at birth. Thrown into foster care, he was rejected
by one family after another, until he met Olivia, a gifted and devoted
high-school teacher who recognized him for what he really was--what her
people call a "nightingale."
But
Bron isn't ready to learn the truth. There are secrets that have been
hidden from mankind for hundreds of thousands of years, secrets that
should remain hidden. Some things are too dangerous to know. Bron's
secret may be the most dangerous of all.
In his remarkable young
adult fantasy debut, David Farland shows why critics have called his
work "compelling," "engrossing," "powerful," "profound," and "ultimately
life-changing."
