Burnt Paper Sky by Gilly Macmillan
Dream a Little Dream (The Silver Trilogy #1) by Kerstin Gier
The Duff (Movie tie-in edition) by Kody Keplinger
The Pocket Wife by Susan Crawford
--a nice mix of psychological thrillers and YA fiction. I have been wanting to read The Duff for ages! ( loved a Midsummer's Nightmare) I haven't started on a new YA series in a while (because I never seem to finish them!) but I couldn't resist Dream a Little Dream. Awesome blurb featuring very strange dreams and dark magic rituals. Love that cover too!

OLD RIVALRIES NEVER DIE. BUT SOME RIVALS DO.
Juliet Townsend is used to losing. Back in high school, she lost every track team race to her best friend, Madeleine Bell. Ten years later, she’s still running behind, stuck in a dead-end job cleaning rooms at the Mid-Night Inn, a one-star motel that attracts only the cheap or the desperate. But what life won’t provide, Juliet takes.
Then one night, Maddy checks in. Well-dressed, flashing a huge diamond ring, and as beautiful as ever, Maddy has it all. By the next morning, though, Juliet is no longer jealous of Maddy—she’s the chief suspect in her murder.
To protect herself, Juliet investigates the circumstances of her friend’s death. But what she learns about Maddy’s life might cost Juliet everything she didn’t realize she had.
