Shadow of a Girl by Shannon Greenland

Publication Date: September 19, 2016

Publisher: Entangled Teen

Use cash and keep moving.

After I ran away from home, these were the two rules that dictated my life. Scoring a job as a roadie fit perfectly for what I needed. Traveling, cash, and life out of the spotlight. But when my path collides with West, the lead singer of Bus Stop, I can’t seem to stay out of his spotlight—especially since we’ll be touring together for an entire year.

West is determined to break down my walls. He won’t give up. And little by little they come crumbling. But if he knew what lurked behind them, he wouldn’t be so eager to get rid of them.

The more time we spend together, the more the lines of our friendship become blurred. He makes me dream of things I never thought possible. But while our friendship has been evolving into a romance, my secrets have been closing in. And just when I’ve decided to reveal my past to West, I’m confronted by it. The cost of my freedom could ruin the life of the guy I love…

Chasing Truth

Chasing Truth (Eleanor Ames #1)

by Julie Cross

Publication Date:  September 27, 2016

Publisher:  Entangled TEEN

At Holden Prep, the rich and powerful rule the school—and they’ll do just about anything to keep their dirty little secrets hidden.

When former con artist Eleanor Ames’s homecoming date commits suicide, she’s positive there’s something more going on. The more questions she asks, though, the more she crosses paths with Miles Beckett. He’s sexy, mysterious, arrogant…and he’s asking all the same questions.

Eleanor might not trust him—she doesn’t even like him—but they can’t keep their hands off of each other. Fighting the infuriating attraction is almost as hard as ignoring the fact that Miles isn’t telling her the truth…and that there’s a good chance he thinks she’s the killer.

 Tell us one thing you want readers to know about your book.

Probably the most noteworthy fact about Chasing Truth is that it’s a very eclectic book. By that I mean it has teen romance, some typical (and a few atypical) YA contemporary elements, family drama, high school drama, plus a large mystery element where my leading characters play detective to find out the truth about a mutual friend’s death. Hopefully one of those elements will hit the mark for you and you’ll check out Chasing Truth!

Review:

This book was a page turner from the first and I can't wait to see what is coming next!

Points of Departure

Points of Departure
by Emily O'Beirne
Genre: YA Contemporary (LGBT)
Release Date: June 16th 2016
Ylva Publishing

Summary from Goodreads:

In this young adult novel, to be released June 2016, best friends Kit and Liza have been looking forward to this trip forever.
Five girls, five tickets overseas. It’s exactly what they all need after the final slog of high school. But when Kit’s suddenly forced to drop out, Liza’s left with three girls she barely knows.
There’s Mai, committed only to partying. There’s Tam, who already has her doubts about leaving her sick father behind. And there’s Olivia, so miserable about screwing up exams she’s not even sure she wants to get out of bed, let alone on a plane. Meanwhile Kit’s stuck working double shifts to pay off a debt, wondering if she’ll ever get it together.
All Liza wants from this trip is to discover a new version of herself. She just hadn’t planned on doing it without Kit by her side.
And they’re all learning that travel isn’t just about the places you go, but who you’re with at the time.

Excerpt:

Liza finishes sorting her washing, climbs onto the bed, and kicks her legs over Kit’s.

Kit runs her hands along Liza’s sharp, brown shinbones, feeling that familiar bubbling of envy at her friend’s ridiculously great legs. Why can’t she have a body like that, instead of this short, scrawny one?

“You have to help me pack,” Liza says. “Promise?”

“Of course.” Kit pouts. “And you have to promise you won’t have too much fun without me.”

“Highly doubtful.” Liza inspects the ends of her hair, pulling the wiry coils straight.

“And you won’t find a new best friend?”

Liza just looks at her. “I’ll be gone four weeks, Kit. Four weeks. I’m just hoping I can manage a conversation with these girls, let alone to make friends with them.”

“You’ll be fine,” Kit tells her for the thousandth time. “Mai’s fun. Tam’s a sweetheart, even if she seems tough. And Olivia’s awesome.”

Kit frowns as she thinks of Olivia yesterday. Kit’s never seen her friend so miserable. Olivia’s usually so assured and self-sufficient. But she’s so messed up over her exams and Will. Poor thing. She wants to tell Liza to look out for her while they’re away, but Olivia begged Kit not to tell anyone about exams. So instead, she just says, “Hey, Olivia might seem kind of, I don’t know, distant or whatever, but she’s going through some stuff, that’s all. Give her a chance. You’ll like her.”

Liza shrugs, like she’s only half listening, and continues to inspect her split ends.

Kit taps her fingers on Liza’s leg. “Anyway, who knows? Maybe you’ll meet someone on this trip. Have an exotic one-night stand with some Mediterranean hottie.”

“Maybe.” She stares out the window, her eyes closing against the sunlight streaming through the window. “Doubt it.”

Kit watches the pink staining her best friend’s cheeks fade slowly.

Liza’s cheeks were even pinker the night of the end-of-school party, when she dragged Kit out to sit on the kerb, an uncharacteristic bottle clutched in her hand, and told her about this Alika girl.

The fact that her best friend was telling her that she had spent the last couple of months in some fraught, unspoken thing with a girl didn’t surprise her, exactly. But that Liza was finally saying anything to her about it did.

The fact that Liza might be gay had crossed Kit’s mind a couple of times over the years. It would explain why she’s so damn shy around guys. And it would explain why, at eighteen, she’s never had a boyfriend despite some of the incredible talent Kit has spotted at those athletics comps.

But even though she’d thought about it, Kit never said anything—in case it hadn’t actually occurred to Liza yet. And Kit had known that her best friend would tell her if and when she had anything to tell her.

And that turned out to be the night of their final classes. Liza was so drunk and fevered with her need to tell Kit about this mess she had gotten herself in, she skated right past the liking-girls news. Instead, she went straight to the part where she had started some clandestine thing with a girl in her training squad, an impossibly withdrawn, beautiful nineteen-year-old who was apparently barely willing to admit she was a lesbian to herself, let alone to someone else.

Kit kept her arm wrapped tightly around her Liza’s waist as she told Kit about this girl. Liza swiped tears from her eyes, telling her how the only time this girl seemed to acknowledge Liza was when she was jumping her in the car after competitions or climbing into her bed at night at the training institute. Not that Liza didn’t want to be doing that, she said. She just didn’t want it like that. And Kit just held on and let her cry it out. And when the tears were done, Kit wiped the tears from her friends face and told her to dump her.

It wasn’t until a few weeks later that they even broached the topic of Liza being gay in general, when Liza admitted how nervous she was about coming out to her parents, and about dropping two big revelations on them at once. But by then her coming out to Kit just didn’t seem like a thing. So why make it one? At that point, the fact that Liza had stopped talking to this girl who kept treating her like crap seemed way more important than workshopping her sexuality. That kind of seemed like a done deal at this point.

“Hey, does Alika know you’re leaving next week?” she asks

Liza shrugs. “Don’t know, don’t care.”

“Good,” Kit tells her, even if she doesn’t one hundred per cent believe her.

She looks over at her friend. She’s gazing out the window, a small frown on her face. Kit hopes Liza does meet someone. Someone who likes her out loud and who makes her feel like the awesome, beautiful person she is. She deserves it. Maybe even needs it a little. She’s the sweetest, most quietly funny and wickedly insightful person Kit has ever met in her life. And she thought that about Liza when they were eight. Now Liza and the rest of the world need to know it.

“I wish you were coming with us,” Liza suddenly moans.

“So do I.” Who wouldn’t choose four weeks of travelling in Europe over four weeks of working double shifts all week to pay off one party? Not even a good party. A party where she found Liam lying in the bath fully dressed with that stupidly hot Rachel perched on the end with her perfect pixie hair and MAC red lips.

Liza shifts across the bed so she’s lying next to Kit. She wraps her hands around Kit’s arm and squeezes it. “You were, like, the social glue.”

“I know,” she says again, resting her head against her friend’s shoulder. Kit’s already keenly aware Liza’s terrified she won’t get along with the others. What she doesn’t know is that everyone feels like that. Her cousin was furious when Kit broke the news. Olivia was even more depressed, and Mai told her outright that she was a stupid, freaking idiot.

She sighs. She will get her shit together this summer. She will. She grabs her friend’s hand and shakes it. “I’m so sorry, Lize,” she says for the zillionth time.

“It’s okay,” Liza says softly.

They lie there in a shaft of muted late afternoon sun. Kit listens to Liza breathe slowly next to her. She’s going to miss her so much.

“I’ll miss you,” Liza whispers, as if she’s heard her thoughts.

Kit snuggles up to her friend and smiles. “I’ll miss you, too.”

Guest Post:

Travel and the friendships are definitely the dual inspirations for this book. Travel was such an important part of my coming-of-age experience. But so too were the friendships forged or redefined while on the road. While exploring the world, I’ve made lasting friendships, but also discovered things about people I’d known for years. I’ve even lost a friend. And I wanted to put some of those experiences in a book.

 My latest book, Points of Departure is about four girls who travel overseas together after they finish high school. Liza, Tam, Olivia and Mai have been abandoned by Kit, their social glue, who can no longer go on the trip. Most of them barely know each other, making the experience awkward at first. But over four weeks they visit a range of cities—each one chosen by one of the girls—and get to know themselves and each other a lot better.

Travel is a quintessential part of the Australian experience. Despite our distance from anywhere and everywhere, we Aussies are an intrepid lot. We’ll happily coop ourselves up in a long, metal projectile in the air for nine, 15 or even 24 hours at a time if it means we can go somewhere new and explore. But we value travel not just for an adventures to be had in new places, but the way it challenges us and confronts us with new experiences. How it helps us to know ourselves better. This, more than anything, is why travel has become such a fundamental part of growing up.

In Points of Departure each of the characters are learning about themselves. Olivia is confronted with the sense that she has been unthinkingly following expectations for so long, and realises she needs to discover what she wants. Tam, on the other hand, has to leave her beloved home to truly discover the strength of her bond with it. Shy Liza has to learn to exist without the safety harness of her best friend by her side, opening her up to new friendships.

 And this notion of friendship was vital to the story. I wanted to show that sometimes the biggest impact of travelling is not about where you go but who you’re travelling with. The girls in this book don’t know each other that well at the beginning of their journey, but being together twenty-four-seven in unknown territory forces a connection. And then what starts out awkward becomes a kind of solidarity, and eventually, friendship. The kind that only comes with sharing an experience like travel.

I didn’t just want the story to be about new friendships, though. I also wanted to write about the experience of old friends travelling together. I was inspired to do this after a conversation with a friend, where told me about the first time she went overseas. All she’d wanted from her post-graduation trip was to leave her mundane, suburban high school hell behind and find the cosmopolitan, worldly, adventurous girl she knew she was really supposed to be out in the world somewhere. She travelled around with an old high school friend for the first few months, and said this experience was nothing like she imagined. Instead of enjoying having the security of his company, he started to feel like this dead weight around her neck. That was because she realised it was impossible to reinvent herself with this constant reminder of who she used to be by her side. His presence forced her to continue to be that old, high school self when all she wanted was change.

I didn’t want to regurgitate my friend’s experience, but I did want to illustrate how travelling can change or redefine friendships. I did this with Mai and Olivia. While not hugely close, they were in the same social group for years in high school, and have the familiarity of years behind them. On this trip Olivia is trying not to face a secret she left behind, but the presence of Mai forces her to constantly face it. And as Olivia re-examines who she’s been the last few years, Mai also becomes a symbol of the version of herself Olivia wants to leave behind.

I also wanted Olivia to actually get to know and appreciate Mai in a way she hadn’t before by the end, though. I wanted to show that experience of seeing something you’ve never seen in someone before, because you’ve unconsciously shoved them neatly into a box and stopped looking. Or you’ve never been with them in a situation that challenges that image you’ve created of them. The shared experience of travelling allows Mai and Olivia’s friendship to grow beyond the surface-y same high school clique camaraderie, into a deeper understanding.

I wrote this book because I feel like my time travelling with friends have been some of the most exciting, difficult, fun, annoying and ultimately enriching things I have ever done, and what has happened in those relationships has been as important to me as the places where they happened. And I wanted Points of Departure to show just a little of that.

About the Author

Thirteen-year-old Emily woke up one morning with a sudden itch to write her first novel. All day, she sat through her classes, feverishly scribbling away (her rare silence probably a cherished respite for her teachers). And by the time the last bell rang, she had penned fifteen handwritten pages of angsty drivel, replete with blood-red sunsets, moody saxophone music playing somewhere far off in the night, and abandoned whiskey bottles rolling across tables. Needless to say, that singular literary accomplishment is buried in a box somewhere, ready for her later amusement.
From Melbourne, Australia, Emily was recently granted her PhD. She works part-time in academia, where she hates marking papers but loves working with her students. She also loves where she lives but travels as much as possible and tends to harbour crushes on cities more than on people.
Living in an apartment, Emily sadly does not possess her dream writing room overlooking an idyllic garden of her creation. Instead, she spends a lot of her time staring over the screen of her laptop and out the window at the somewhat less pretty (but highly entertaining) combined kebab stand/carwash across the road. (from the publisher’s website)

Fates Divided

Fates Divided (Halven Rising #1)
by Jules Barnard
Genre: YA Paranormal
Release Date: August 31st 2015

Summary from Goodreads:

Elena Rosales has busted her ass to get into a good college. She’s the only one in her family ever to attend, and expectations are high. No pressure. But Elena’s got this one in the bag, because she’s as dependable as the molecules she studies, as reliable as the chemical reactions that comfort her in their predictability. Until they don’t.

Elena has always wondered why her mother abandoned her on her first birthday. It’s not until she turns eighteen and her chemistry experiments go berserk that she learns the truth: Her mother wasn’t human, and the Fae are willing to harm those Elena loves if she doesn’t use her power over the elements to cure them of a deadly disease.

Derek, Elena’s brooding neighbor, isn’t the friendliest guy, but he has access to an off-hours lab and is willing to help Elena create the antivirus. He has his own secrets to keep, and this business Elena is mixed up in could blow his cover. But when Elena and Derek get together, more than chemicals spark fire—and they soon discover just how complicated attraction can get when they find themselves on the other side of the portal, fighting for survival. Lives collide, and allegiance and love are tested, in Fates Divided.

-----

In the Halven Rising Series, love and ancient allegiances are threatened when the worlds of Fae and Halven collide. Each Halven Rising novel features a different couple and may be read as a standalone, but an overreaching story arc connects the books, so it’s fun to read them in order.

THE GIRL IN THE RED HOOD has been looking for her mother for six months, searching from the depths of New York’s subways to the heights of its skyscrapers...

THE PRINCE looks like he’s from another time entirely, or maybe he’s just too good at his job at Ye Old Renaissance Faire . . . THE ACTRESS is lighting up Hollywood Boulevard with her spellbinding and strikingly convincing portrayal of a famous fairy. Her name may be big, but her secrets barely fit in one world . . . Fifteen-year-old Crescenzo never would have believed his father’s carvings were anything more than “stupid toys.” All he knows is a boring life in an ordinary Virginia suburb, from which his mother and his best friend have been missing for years. When his father disappears next, all Crescenzo has left is his goofy neighbor, Pietro, who believes he’s really Peter Pan and that Crescenzo is the son of Pinocchio. What’s more: Pietro insists that they can find their loved ones by looking to the strange collection of wooden figurines Crescenzo’s father left behind. With Pietro’s help, Crescenzo sets off on an adventure to unite the real life counterparts to his figurines. It’s enough of a shock that they’re actually real, but the night he meets the Girl in the Red Hood, dark truths burst from the past. Suddenly, Crescenzo is tangled in a nightmare where magic mirrors and evil queens rule, and where everyone he loves is running out of time.
