The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan
The Dispossessed #1
Fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series and Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy will devour The Beautiful and the Cursed, a wholly original interpretation of gargoyle lore.
It
was bizarre and inexplicable, and after it happened, Ingrid Waverly was
forced to leave her life in London behind. She had to trade a world
full of fancy dresses and society events for exile in gothic Paris with
her mother and her younger sister, Gabby.
In Paris there are no
grand balls or glittering parties, and disturbingly, the house rented by
Ingrid's twin brother, Grayson, isn't a house at all. It's an abbey. A
creepy, old abbey with a roof lined in stone gargoyles that could almost
be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.
And to top it all off, Grayson is missing.
Yet
no one seems to be concerned about Grayson's whereabouts save for Luc, a
devastatingly handsome servant who has some deep and dark secrets of
his own.
There's one secret about the city that even Luc can't
keep hidden, though: there's a murderer on the loose. And every day that
Grayson is missing means there's less chance he's still alive.
Ingrid
is sure her twin isn't dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she
knows that he's in grave danger, and that it's up to her and Gabby to
find him before all hope is lost.
And yet the path to him is more dangerous than she could ever imagine.
Parallel by Lauren Miller
Abby Barnes had a plan.
The Plan. She'd go to Northwestern, major in journalism, and land a job
at a national newspaper, all before she turned twenty-two. But one tiny
choice—taking a drama class her senior year of high school—changed all
that. Now, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Abby is stuck on a
Hollywood movie set, miles from where she wants to be, wishing she could
rewind her life. The next morning, she's in a dorm room at Yale, with
no memory of how she got there. Overnight, it's as if her past has been
rewritten.
With the help of Caitlin, her science-savvy BFF, Abby
discovers that this new reality is the result of a cosmic collision of
parallel universes that has Abby living an alternate version of her
life. And not only that: Abby's life changes every time her parallel
self makes a new choice. Meanwhile, her parallel is living out Abby's
senior year of high school and falling for someone Abby's never even
met.
As she struggles to navigate her ever-shifting existence,
forced to live out the consequences of a path she didn't choose, Abby
must let go of the Plan and learn to focus on the present, without
losing sight of who she is, the boy who might just be her soul mate, and
the destiny that's finally within reach.
