Grace Wilde is
running—from the multi-million dollar mansion her record producer father
bought, the famous older brother who’s topped the country music charts five
years in a row, and the mother who blames her for her brother’s breakdown.
Grace escapes to the farthest place from home she can think of, a boarding
school in Korea, hoping for a fresh start.
She wants nothing to do with music, but when her roommate Sophie’s twin brother Jason turns out to be the newest Korean pop music superstar, Grace is thrust back into the world of fame. She can't stand Jason, whose celebrity status is only outmatched by his oversized ego, but they form a tenuous alliance for the sake of her friendship with Sophie. As the months go by and Grace adjusts to her new life in Korea, even she can't deny the sparks flying between her and the KPOP idol.
Soon, Grace realizes that her feelings for Jason threaten her promise to herself that she'll leave behind the music industry that destroyed her family. But can Grace ignore her attraction to Jason and her undeniable pull of the music she was born to write? Sweet, fun, and romantic, this young adult novel explores what it means to experience first love and discover who you really are in the process.

Now it's senior year and Kelsey has a new group of friends, genuine popularity, and a hot boyfriend. Her life is perfect. That is, until David's family moves to town and he shakes up everything. Soon old feelings bubble to the surface and threaten to destroy Kelsey's second chance at happiness. The more time she spends with David, the more she realizes she never truly let him go.

Title: Mindwalker (Mindwalker
#1)
Author: A. J. Steiger
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young
Readers
Date: June 9th, 2015
Goodreads Blurb:
At seventeen, Lain Fisher
has already aced the Institute's elite training program for Mindwalkers,
therapists who use a direct neural link to erase a patient's traumatic
memories. A prodigy and the daughter of a renowned scientist-whose unexplained
death left her alone in the world-Lain is driven by the need to save others.
When Steven, a troubled classmate, asks her to wipe a horrific childhood experience from his mind, Lain's superiors warn her to stay away. Steven's scars are too deep, they say; the risk too great. Yet the more time Lain spends with him, the more she begins to question everything about her society. As she defies the warnings and explores Steven's memories, it becomes clear that he's connected to something much bigger…something the Institute doesn't want the world to discover.
Lain never expected to be a rule breaker. She certainly didn't plan on falling in love with a boy she's been forbidden to help. But then, she never expected to stumble into a conspiracy that could ignite a revolution.

Title: The Stars Never Rise
Author: Rachel Vincent
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Date: June 9th, 2015
Goodreads Blurb:
Sixteen-year-old Nina Kane
should be worrying about her immortal soul, but she's too busy trying to
actually survive. Her town's population has been decimated by soul-consuming
demons, and souls are in short supply. Watching over her younger sister, Mellie,
and scraping together food and money are all that matters. The two of them are
a family. They gave up on their deadbeat mom a long time ago.
When Nina discovers that Mellie is keeping a secret that threatens their very existence, she'll do anything to protect her. Because in New Temperance, sins are prosecuted as crimes by the brutal Church and its army of black-robed exorcists. And Mellie's sin has put her in serious trouble.
To keep them both alive, Nina will need to trust Finn, a fugitive with deep green eyes who has already saved her life once and who might just be an exorcist. But what kind of exorcist wears a hoodie?
Wanted by the Church and hunted by dark forces, Nina knows she can't survive on her own. She needs Finn and his group of rogue friends just as much as they need her.
