SUMMARY
The residents of Impervious are the remnant—the
survivors of the War of Annihilation. And though the city is chockfull of
pleasures to tantalize and entertain, a beast lurks in the corners, haunting
the residents with its presence.
The Beast—a mysterious and terminal illness killed off most of Generations One, Two, and Three. And as Gen-Four prepares to take the stage, a provocative, yet questionable, new method to avoid an untimely death incites a cultural rage.
But Fran lives counter-culture, off the grid in true rebel fashion. With a life far from opulent, she scurries through dark tunnels, searching for hot meals with Pete while ditching the holographic security team. To her, it’s a healthy trade-off. Unaccountability means The Council can’t steal her sliver of hope―a belief that she’ll see The Epoch arrive before The Beast can pull her into its fetid embrace.
After losing her mother and then her Rebel mentor, Fran stumbles upon a miraculous discovery that may save the residents of Impervious. That is, if she can outrun The Beast…

SUMMARY
Millions of people witnessed Emma Taylor’s
first kiss—a single kiss that needed twelve takes and four camera angles to get
right. After spending nearly all of her teen years performing on cue, Emma
wonders how much of her own life is even real anymore. But her new costar, Jake
Elliott, couldn’t care less about how many scenes he has to fake his way
through; he needs the money. Toss in a reckless heartthrob, desperate for a
comeback, and a resident diva who may or may not be as evil as she seems, and
the production of Coyote Hills heats up in unexpected—and romantic—ways. Along
with offering front row seats to the real life drama that often unfolds within
the entertainment industry, NOT IN THE SCRIPT is a story about two
not-so-typical teens who are searching for themselves, and just happen to find
each other.

SUMMARY
The Los Angeles Conservatory for the Arts is
supposed to be a new beginning for Sadie Bryant. Moving across the country is
exactly what she needs to escape the gossip surrounding her injury, the
devastating betrayal of her ex-partner, and to rebuild her career as a solo
dancer.
When the school announces that the annual Fall Showcase, a performance that secures a spot studying in London, will now require each dancer to have a partner, Sadie’s fresh start is a nightmare. Now she has to dance with Luke Morrison, the school womanizer with a big ego. Sadie doesn’t know how to trust Luke enough to dance with him after her last partner left her broken, but Luke is determined to change that.
Then, The Hit List comes out. A game of sexual conquest where guys get points for all the girls they hook up with—and it seems like every guy at the school is playing.
The girl worth the most points? Sadie.
