Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd is the first book in the young adult fantasy Grim Lovelies series. It is set in an opulent and darkly enchanted Paris where Royals, witches, and "Beasties" are caught up in an intricate battle for power. There is murder, mayhem, plus a touch of romance as Anouk and four other beasties must race against the clock to solve a murder before the spell keeping them human fades away and these enchanted creatures return to their original form forever.

EAST by Edith Pattou took one of my favorite fairy tale stories, 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon' and completely swept me away with her beautiful retelling, making Rose's journey come alive with all the magic and enchantment I could hope for.  

The Disappearances is Magical Realism at its best! Part historical and part mystery with a dash of magic, Murphy's debut novel is a whimsical treat with a side of sinister that worked so well together.

Set among the Gold Rush area in Arizona Territory, Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman is edgy, action-packed, and brings the ruggedness of the Wild West to young adults featuring an unapologetic heroine bent on revenge. Ruthlessness is around every corner and dust, grit and bullets are all part of everyday life.
