Those beyond the wall / by Johnson, Micaiah,author.;
Scales is an enforcer who keeps the peace in Ashtown, a rough, climate-ravaged desert town. But that fragile peace is fractured when a woman is mangled and killed within Ashtown's borders, right in front of Scales' eyes. When more mutilated bodies start to turn up, Scales is tasked with finding the cause -- and putting an end to it. As Scales and her team delve into both worlds to track down the invisible killer, what they find points to something bigger and more corrupt than they could've ever foreseen -- and it could spell doom for the entire world.

Shadow spell / by Roberts, Nora.;
"With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O'Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It's where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can't be broken ... A circle that is about to be stretched out of shape--by a long-awaited kiss. Meara Quinn is Branna's best friend, a sister in all but blood. Her and Connor's paths cross almost daily, as Connor takes tourists on hawk walks and Meara guides them on horseback across the lush countryside. She has the eyes of a gypsy and the body of a goddess...things Connor has always taken for granted--until his brush with death propels them into a quick, hot tangle. Plenty of women have found their way to Connor's bed, but none to his heart until now. Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself--and their friendship--to something more. But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood. And he will need his family and friends around him, when his past rolls in like the fog, threatening an end to all he loves ..."--Provided by publisher.

Mortified / by Jackson, Kristy.; McGregor, Rhael.;
"When someone secretly signs up Belinda Houle, the school's shyest kid, to audition for a play, Belinda turns to her best friend, Sally, for help. Sally isn't like the other kids. Unlike Belinda, she isn't embarrassed by anything. Also, Sally thinks she's a witch. Belinda doesn't believe in magic, but if Sally has a spell for confidence -- well, it couldn't hurt to try it. Could it? What follows the spell is a series of tragedies so tragic they would have been funny -- if only they weren't happening to Belinda! First, Belinda's ex-best friend tricks her into eating dog food. Next, she's forced to wear a wig when her hair-straightening session goes very wrong. And then, Belinda slips on a plate of paint, wrecking a mural, and ends up with globs of green, brown and yellow paint all over her head! Things get worse and worse, until Belinda must face the facts: One piece of bad luck can be explained away, but this? This is a straight-up curse! Can she break the curse before the dreamy Ricky Daniels takes more notice of her crooked wig? More importantly, how can Belinda battle the very thing she hoped the spell would take away: her embarrassment?"--
