Book, Beast, and Crow
by Elizabeth Byrne
Anna Kellogg has always felt different. Growing up in Hartwood, New Jersey--where frequent disappearances are attributed to an urban-legend-like beast that dwells in the walled-in swamp at the center of town--can have that effect on people. But for Anna, it's more than that. Since she was a child, she's been plagued by episodes where she sees things others can't see. Feeling different is one thing, but actually being different is another. If it weren't for her best friend, Olivia, Anna's not sure where she'd fit in. But any hopes of having a normal senior year come to a halt when Olivia is attacked in the woods, bitten, and left for dead by a whirling cyclone of claws, fur, and teeth. Though Olivia survives, a sinister entity makes it clear that the mark had been set on Anna...and the miss has set in motion a catastrophic shift that will change Anna and her friends' lives forever.

The Unraveling of Emlyn Dulaine: Volume 1
by Lindsay A. Franklin
A shattered heart, a fate foretold. The world undone by tales of old. Emlyn DuLaine just wants to know what happened to her sister, Camille, seven years ago on the fateful day she vanished--literally. Emlyn witnessed Camille unravel and disappear, but no one believes her. Since they think she's crazy, the least the cops could do is solve Camille's case. Is a little closure too much to ask? But Emlyn's life is upended when she is pulled through a portal into the fantasyland of her childhood imaginings--a magical library holding the storyworlds of every story ever published. And trouble is brewing in the land of Rivenlea. Rogue characters threaten their plot lines, and broken classics are beginning to crumble, but Emlyn only wants to find Camille. As she searches for her sister, Emlyn begins to learn the reality of Rivenlea and her own origins. A nefarious plot is afoot, and the line between fact and fiction is becoming hopelessly blurred. The truth threatens the storyworlds, Rivenlea, and Earth--the fabric of creation, itself.
