The Last Thing You Said
Summary
Lucy always loved summers on Halcyon Lake - sunning on the lake raft, relaxing on the boat, and spending every possible minute with her best friend, Trixie, and Trixie’s brother, Ben, Lucy’s lifelong crush. Until last summer, when one tragic event turned their idyllic world upside down. Now nothing is the same. This summer, Trixie is gone, and Ben is distant, numbing his pain with parties and a string of interchangeable girlfriends. Lucy does her best to move on and avoid this cold new Ben. She throws herself into babysitting, waitressing, and a sweet new romance with the renter next door. But in their small lake town, forgetting the past - and Ben - proves impossible. He still seems to be everywhere: at work, at the movies...and in Lucy’s heart. Lucy so wants to move on, but how can she forgive when she can’t forget?

Bones & All
Summary
Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her - how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her 16th birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.

Eunomia. Right hand of the Angel. Guardian. The last of her kind, is now.... Death's hunter. And the thing she most desperately needs to find is herself. For thousands of years, the Guardians collected the souls of the dead, bringing them before the God of Death for their final judgment. It all ended when Eunomia's sisters, the other 12 Guardians, betrayed the God of Death and his daughter. In the blink of an eye, Eunomia's reason for existing ceased to be. Now, Eunomia is the last of her kind, and she has no idea what to do with the rest of eternity. Everything changes the day her best friend, the new Goddess of Death, comes to her with a problem only Eunomia can solve: "We're having a problem with lost souls. Find them, and bring them back to me." Of course, nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems, and what at first appears to be nothing more than a simple soul collecting job turns into an around-the-world journey that challenges Eunomia at every turn. All she has to do is find 27 lost souls, keep her friend sane, and solve a mystery...all while trying not to lose herself in the arms of a man thousands of years of experience tells her she should avoid.
