	\|\|		\|\|
	Embrace by Jessica Shirvington \|\| Violet Eden dreads her seventeenth birthday. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. As if that wasn’t enough, disturbing dreams haunt her sleep and leave her with very real injuries. There’s a dark tattoo weaving its way up her arms that wasn’t there before. Violet is determined to get some answers, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. The guy she thought she could fall in love has been keeping his identity a secret: he’s only half-human—oh, and same goes for her. A centuries old battle between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity has chosen its new warrior. It’s a fight Violet doesn’t want, but she lives her life by two rules: don’t run and don’t quit. If angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden…		Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz \|\| Critically acclaimed author Benjamin Alire Saenz writes a beautiful novel about a friendship between two boys and the love between father and sons.
	Chaos by Nalo Hopkinson \|\| A mix of fantasy and Caribbean folklore, Chaos is a story of identity and self-acceptance with a vulnerable yet supremely brassy heroine.		Cracked by K.M. Walton \|\| In this gripping debut, a teen takes a bottle of pills and lands in the psych ward with bully who drove him to attempt suicide.
