The Midnight Club : a novel / by Harrison, Margot,author.;
It's been twenty-five years since The Midnight Club last convened. A tight-knit group of college friends bonded by late nights at the campus literary magazine, they're also bonded by something darker: the death of their brilliant friend Jennet junior year. But now, decades later, a mysterious invitation has pulled them back to the pine-shrouded Vermont town where it all began. As the estranged friends gather for a weeklong campus reunion, they soon learn that their host has an ulterior motive: she wants them to uncover the truth about the night Jennet died, and she's provided them with an extraordinary method--a secret substance that helps them not only remember but relive the past. But each one of the friends has something to hide. And the more they question each other, the deeper they dive into their own memories, the more they understand that nothing they thought they knew about their college years, and that fateful night, is true.

The Briar Club A Novel [electronic resource] : by Quinn, Kate.aut; Maarleveld, Saskia.nrt; cloudLibrary;
The New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye and The Rose Code returns with a haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era. Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare. Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst? Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test. Includes a bonus conversation with Kate Quinn, Saskia Maarleveld, and Tessa Woodward, editor of The Briar Club.

The Graveyard Club. [graphic novel] / by Stine, R. L.,author,creator.; Borelli, Carola,illustrator.; Campbell, Jim(Letterer),letterer.; Martinelli, Gloria,colourist.; Segala, Francesco,colourist.;
Parker West is a senior at Grave's End High, in the sleepy town of Grave's End, a town surrounded by cemeteries. A place where swarms of bats fill the sky every night, and kids play hide-and-seek amongst tombstones. But none of that feels odd to the locals--Grave's End is as sleepy and dead as they come. A lonely hill on the edge of the town in the graveyard becomes the local hangout spot for Parker and his group of friends. They goof off, plan schemes, and form a secret club ... the Graveyard Club. Members have to be daring and unafraid to wreak a relatively harmless amount of havoc in the name of fun. But one night, after getting into an argument with a local cop, the kids find themselves in a prank war. But what starts off as mostly harmless practical jokes and tricks escalates into attacks that might put these kids in real, life-threatening danger if they won't back down first ... and Parker's never been one to give up without a fight.

The Reptile Club / by Fergus, Maureen.; Ellis, Elina.;
Rory just knew that there were other kids out there who shared his passion for reptiles--and he couldn't wait to meet them! He starts a Reptile Club at school, but to his astonishment it's not his schoolmates who attend the first meeting, but a crocodile, an anaconda and a gecko! As the four of them get to know each other--each explaining their unique talents and sharing interesting reptile facts--the kids in Rory's school see how much fun they're having and decide to join the club, too. Never in the history of the world have mammals and reptiles gotten along so well. At every meeting, the Reptile Club does something fun and different. They even come up with a secret password and hand signal. But one blustery day in late autumn, the reptiles announce that it's time for them to go--they need to either hibernate or head to a warmer climate. Rory's friends, now reptile enthusiasts, continue with the club after they're gone, but it just isn't the same. So Rory, who loves dinosaurs almost as much as he loves reptiles, comes up with an idea for a new club...LSC
