The Fountains of Silence av Ruta Sepetys
Madrid, 1957. Under the
fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a
dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into
Spain under the welcoming guise of sunshine and wine. Among them is
eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of a Texas oil tycoon, who
arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of
his mother's birth through the lens of his camera. Photography--and
fate--introduce him to Ana, whose family's interweaving obstacles reveal
the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War--as well as chilling
definitions of fortune and fear. Daniel's photographs leave him with
uncomfortable questions amidst shadows of danger. He is backed into a
corner of decisions to protect those he loves. Lives and hearts collide,
revealing an incredibly dark side to the sunny Spanish city.
Master
storyteller Ruta Sepetys once again shines light into one of history's
darkest corners in this epic, heart-wrenching novel about identity,
unforgettable love, repercussions of war, and the hidden violence of
silence--inspired by the true post-war struggles of Spain.

Ninth house av Leigh Bardugo
Galaxy “Alex” Stern is
the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los
Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early
and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and
much, much worse. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a
horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her
life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to
attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride. What’s
the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers to this
herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors
with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. These eight
windowless “tombs” are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and
powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood’s
biggest players. But their occult activities are revealed to be more
sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might
conceive.

Mooncakes av Suzanne Walker
A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft.
Nova
Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at
her grandmothers' bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books
and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town.
One
fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and
she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling
a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from
place to place for years, unable to call any town home.
Pursued
by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options,
Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against
the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family
ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery.
