By Invitation Only (2025)
Alexandra Brown Chang
"A decadent dessert of a book: frothy and fun, with a heapful of heart. In this zingy, swoony affair, Chang offers a glimpse into the world of the mega-rich and famous with scintillating detail and lancing wit. An exciting new voice to watch in YA."

This Is Where We Die (2025)
Cindy R X He
"A devious, page-turning thriller full of terrible teens doing terrible things."

Codebreaker (2025)
