Draw Down the Moon [electronic resource] : by Cast, P. C..aut; Cast, Kristin.aut; cloudLibrary;
New York Times bestsellers P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast return with Draw Down the Moon, the first book in a new duology set in a dark and magickal world filled with incredible danger and irresistible romance. A mystical school. A mysterious death. A magickal romance. Wren Nightingale isn’t supposed to have any elemental powers. Born of magickal parents but not under one of the four fated astrological full moons, she is destined for life as a Mundane—right up until she starts glowing on her eighteenth birthday. In a heartbeat, Wren’s life is turned upside down, and she’s suddenly leaving her home for the mystical Academia de la Luna—a secret magickal school on a hidden island off the Seattle coast. Lee Young has always known about his future at the academy. He has three goals: pass the trials, impress the Moon Council, and uphold his family’s reputation. But he wasn’t expecting to be attending alongside the girl he’s been secretly in love with for as long as he can remember. As Wren and Lee are thrown into the academy’s grueling trials, they quickly learn there’s something different—and dangerous—about the school this year. Wren will have to navigate a web of secrets, prophecies . . . and murder. And Lee will have to decide what to protect: his family’s legacy, or the girl he loves.Young adult.

Give Up the Night [electronic resource] : by Cast, P. C..aut; Cast, Kristin.aut; CloudLibrary;
New York Times bestsellers P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast return with Give Up the Night, the astonishing conclusion to their Moonstruck duology set in a dark and magickal world filled with incredible danger and irresistible romance. Since becoming Moonstruck on her eighteenth birthday, Wren Nightingale has found herself thrust into a world filled with deception, danger, and murder. Uncovering that their magick was fractured and limited when the original Moonstruck ritual was broken by Selene, Wren is determined to find a way to restore it. But the Elementals are split into two factions—some want the ritual completed and their freedom—and others are so terrified of change that they’re willing to end Wren before she can reach the center of the island where the ritual Selene ruined can be completed. Between his overbearing father’s arrival, Rottingham delegating him more and more responsibility, and Celeste taking a special interest in him, Lee Young has been struggling to find his own path. As much as Lee wants to take his place in the Moonstruck hierarchy, he knows something’s not right at the Academia de la Luna. He thinks if he can talk some sense into Wren and get her to return to the Academia, that everything will turn out alright. As Wren and Lee both battle for what they believe is right, they’ll have to uncover who their true allies are…and if they’re even on the same side of this magickal fight.Young adult.

Among the beasts & briars / by Poston, Ashley.;
Cerys is safe in the Kingdom of Aloriya. Here there are no droughts, disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden. Cerys knows this all too well: When she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse, the magic, in her blood. LSC

Valentine in Montreal : a novel / by O'Neill, Heather,author.; O'Neill, Arizona,illustrator.;
"A young woman who works at a Montreal metro station looks up and sees her doppelganger and is thrown into an unexpected adventure, in this playful and surprising novel, first serialized in the Montreal Gazette and now beautifully illustrated. In the tradition of the serialized novels of Charles Dickens, Armistead Maupin, Tom Wolfe, Stephen King, and Michael Chabon, Heather O'Neill brings us Valentine in Montreal. Originally published in weekly installments in the Montreal Gazette as "Mystery in the Metro," this is the story of Valentine, a lonely and orphaned girl, who, while working at the dépanneur of a Montreal metro station, spots her look-alike. Following this seeming twin on to the subway and out into the city, Valentine's world is changed -- she meets gangsters, composers, ballet dancers, a cricket playing a mournful tune and she meets the city, in all its teeming energy. Valentine in Montreal is a playful, moving and surprising story of a young woman finding both connection and the courage to break free of what has been holding her back. It's also a portrait of Montreal and its artistry and vibrancy both above and below ground. Illustrations by graphic artist Arizona O'Neill run throughout."--

City of girls [text (large print)] : a novel / by Gilbert, Elizabeth,1969-author.;
In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance. Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant, crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse. There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress, a lady-killer writer, and no-nonsense stage manager. But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down in ways that it will take her years to fully understand. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves -- and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it. It will also lead to the love of her life, a love that stands out from all the rest. Now eighty-nine years old and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life -- and the gusto and autonomy with which she approached it.
