The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray
Release Date: September 18, 2012
Evie O'Neill has been
exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling
streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is
the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie
is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The
only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The
Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as
"The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
When a rash of occult-based
murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the
investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious
power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first

Necromancing the Stone (Necromancer #2) by Lish McBride
Release Date: September 18, 2012
With the defeat of the
evil Douglas behind him, Sam LaCroix is getting used to his new life.
Okay, so he hadn’t exactly planned on being a powerful necromancer with a
seat on the local magical council and a capricious werewolf
sort-of-girlfriend, but things are going fine, right?
Well . . .
not really. He’s pretty tired of getting beat up by everyone and their
mother, for one thing, and he can’t help but feel that his new house
hates him. His best friend is a werebear, someone is threatening his
sister, and while Sam realizes that he himself has a lot of power at his
fingertips, he’s not exactly sure how to use it. Which, he has to admit, is a bit disconcerting.
But
when everything starts falling apart, he decides it’s time to step up
and take control. His attempts to do so just bring up more questions,
though, the most important of which is more than a little alarming: Is
Douglas really dead?

Glass Heart (Cold Kiss #2) by Amy Carvey
Release Date: September 18, 2012
Wren can do things that
other people can only dream of. Make it snow on a clear, crisp day. Fly
through an abandoned tunnel. Bring a paper bird to life.
Wren
knows her abilities are tinged with danger—knows how easy it is to lose
control—but she can't resist the intoxicating rush. And now that she has
Gabriel by her side, someone who knows what she can do—what she has
done—she finally feels free to be herself.
But as Wren explores
the possibilities of her simmering powers, Gabriel starts pushing her
away. Telling her to be careful. Telling her to stop. The more he
cautions her, the more determined Wren becomes to prove that she can
handle things on her own. And by the time she realizes that Gabriel may
be right, it could be too late to bring him back to her side.

Dust (Of Dust and Darkness #1) by Devon Ashley
Release Date: September 18, 2012
4. The number of times my delicate wings have been broken and clamped behind my back.
68. The number inked upon my skin, marking me the sixty-eighth pixie to be stolen.
87. The number of days I’ve been wrongfully imprisoned.
88. The first day the faeries will regret stealing me.
Healthy.
Cheery. Vivacious. All traits Rosalie has before becoming enslaved by
the faeries to make an endless supply of pixie dust. Now that Rosalie
has been traumatized by slave labor, extreme desolate conditions and
multiple deaths, this hardened pixie is anything but. When this
rebellious teenager attempts an escape, she’s isolated in cramped
quarters until she learns her place. Just as she begins to let go of all
that hope, she finds an unlikely friend in Jack, the faerie assigned to
guard her. Interspecies dating is forbidden in the fae world, so their
growing attraction is unacceptable. And even if Jack can find a way to
free her, they know the prison is the only place they can truly be
together.

The Dead Girls Detective Agency by Suzy Cox
Release Date: September 18, 2012
Pop quiz: What would you do if you had to solve your own murder to get anywhere in death?
Maybe if I hadn't slept through my alarm, slammed into Kristin--my high school's reigning mean
girl--or
stepped in a puddle, destroying my mom's new suede DVF boots (which I
borrowed without asking), I wouldn't have been in the wrong place at the
wrong time, and I wouldn't have been pushed in front of that arriving
train. But I did, and I was.
When I came to, I was informed by a
group of girls that I'm dead. And that because I died under mysterious
circumstances, I can't pass straight over to the Other Side. But at
least I'm not alone. Meet the Dead Girls Detective Agency: Nancy, Lorna,
and Tess--not to mention Edison, the really cute if slightly hostile
dead boy. Apparently, the only way out of this limbo is to figure out
who killed me, or I'll have to spend eternity playing Nancy Drew.
Considering I was fairly invisible in life, who could hate me enough to
want me dead? And what if my murderer is someone I never would have
suspected?

Ten by Gretchen McNeil
Release Date: September 18, 2012
And their doom comes swiftly.
It
was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party
on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for
being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor)
and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled
luxury.
But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and
what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a
DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.
Suddenly
people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from
the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry
that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more
violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before
more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever
imagine?

The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater
Release Date: September 18, 2012
“There are only two
reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said.
“Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every
year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the
soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this
year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His
name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at
Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away
from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But
Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it
all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much
more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven
Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege
around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and
Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but
says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been
warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this
would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the
strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

Release Date: September 18, 2012
I should not exist. But I do.

and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven
together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they
learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did
the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them
fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their
parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and
Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t . . .

three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows
she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they
discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are
unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are
caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . .
for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything

school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car
accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember
touches dies. And that, well, really blows.

reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out.
However,
she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell,
she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember
learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not have been an
accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead,
and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not
only her heart, but her life. For real this time.
