"Onyx (Lux, #2)" by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Being connected to Daemon Black
sucks…
Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems. Something worse than the Arum has come to town… The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard. But then everything changes… I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me? No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies… |

"City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2)" by Cassandra Clare
|
Clary
Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal
when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically
induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires,
and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would
mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a
friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially
her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to
help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is
probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father? In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation. |

"Everneath (Everneath, #1)" by Brodi Ashton|
Last
spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the
Everneath. Now she’s returned—to her old life, her family, her
boyfriend—before she’s banished back to the underworld . . . this time
forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six
months for good-byes she can’t find the words for, six months to find
redemption, if it exists.
Nikki longs to spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance—and the one person she loves more than anything. But there’s just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen. As Nikki’s time on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole’s queen. Everneath is a captivating story of love, loss, and immortality from debut author Brodi Ashton. |

"The Gathering Storm (The Katerina Trilogy, #1)" by Robin Bridges|
St.
Petersburg, Russia, 1888. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal
debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark
secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the girls
at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle.
Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. But when she uses her
special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself
caught in a web of intrigue.
An evil presence is growing within Europe's royal bloodlines—and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Suddenly Katerina's strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources . . . including two young men—George Alexandrovich, the tsar's standoffish middle son, who needs Katerina's help to safeguard Russia, even if he's repelled by her secret, and the dashing Prince Danilo, heir to the throne of Montenegro, to whom Katerina feels inexplicably drawn. The time has come for Katerina to embrace her power, but which side will she choose—and to whom will she give her heart? |
