Description of UNBREAKABLE
I never believed in ghosts. Until one tried to kill me.
When
Kennedy Waters finds her mother dead, she doesn't realize that
paranormal forces are responsible--not until mysterious identical twins
Jared and Lukas Lockhart break into her room and destroy a deadly spirit
sent to kill her.
Kennedy learns that her mother's death was no accident, and now she has to take her place in the Legion of the Black Dove--a
secret society whose five members were all murdered on the same night,
leaving the Legion in the hands of the next generation: a misfit group
with unique skills.
As the new members race to find the only weapon
capable of destroying the demon, they use their individual talents to
battle paranormal entities and earn their rightful place in the
Legion--except for Kennedy.
If she is truly the missing piece of the
puzzle, can she stay alive long enough to find out--without losing her
heart in the process?
Protect Yourself. What you can't see CAN hurt you.

Description of THE COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN
Tana lives in a world where walled
cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans
mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem
is, once you pass through Coldtown's gates, you can never leave.
One
morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by
corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her
exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a
mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined,
Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only
way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of
Coldtown itself.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly
original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and
loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.
