6/15: Cover Reveals Day 1
Love Me Always By Emiko Jean
After a devastating breakup, Emma takes a chance on the universe—and discovers the future still has something to say—in this heartfelt romantic mystery, the sequel to the national bestseller Love Me Tomorrow.
What if you wrote to the future…and the future wrote back?
Eighteen-year-old Emma Nakamura-Thatcher swore she was done with letters from the future. But as a first-year at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Emma realizes she’s out of her depth—between the terrifying talent of her classmates and a brutal work-study job, she’s barely keeping her head above water. When the distance between her and her boyfriend, Colin, finally breaks them apart, Emma asks the future for help. And it answers with a warning: Emma, the letter writer says, is on the brink of a life-changing mistake.
Soon she is tangled in two mysteries: Who is writing to her across time now, and which of the two boys in her life now is her true love? Is it Theo, her dearest childhood best friend, now a sweet, brilliant physicist at MIT? Or could it be Colin’s twin brother, Sebastian St. James, who is grumpy, infuriating—and somehow indispensable to her new life?
As the letters grow more urgent and she feels pulled in two directions, Emma must decide: Can she trust the future, even if it means risking the present? And what would happen if she stopped looking for signs, and started listening to her own heart?

Anna Nari wants to write K-dramas, not be in one. With divorced, practically estranged parents, real-life romance has always felt more like fiction than real-life. Especially after she had her heart broken by her childhood best friend, Jun Park, the summer before junior year. Did she enjoy flirting with him a little too much? Maybe. Did she tuck tail and run when things got too real? Well, that’s nobody’s business. But that suits her just fine, because writing about love is so much more fun than being in love.
At least until Anna decides to enter the Seoul Production Co. Screenplay Contest, and Do-Yun, the impossibly attractive lead of her script, somehow shows up on her doorstep! Now she has only three weeks to finish her script and figure out how to send him back… Even if that means falling in love for real this time.
Could letting Jun help with her script be their chance to salvage more than just their friendship? Or will Do-Yun’s presence in her life about make everything too complicated?

Doctor Who meets Only Murders in the Building in this propulsive speculative young adult thriller following an apprentice time traveler who finds a dead body in her bathtub and races to solve the murder…before it happens.

Agatha Grey is a long-term resident at the Nexus. As an apprentice time traveler, Agatha is mostly limited to sourcing ancient grains for fad diets. Her work is pretty boring, but she likes it that way, as she’d rather escape into the past than actually deal with her grief over an accident that left her the only survivor.
But when Thomas Charger, a (sort of) friend, turns up (definitely) murdered in her hotel bathtub, Agatha can no longer keep her life on pause. If she wants to know who killed Thomas—and why they chose her bathtub to do it in—she will have to venture deeper into the mysterious Nexus Hotel and attempt to learn its secrets, which becomes all the more complicated when Thomas shows up in the middle of her investigation.
In a hotel for time travelers, time means nothing. So how do you solve a murder that hasn’t happened yet?

But when Diesel’s assigned a mysterious and dangerous new target that comes with the largest bounty he’s ever seen, he worries that this time he may be in over his head. Accompanied by his hulking dog, Gloom, Diesel sets out across the climate-ravaged Stormlands, determined to claim the bounty before anyone else can. But nothing about this job is business as usual: leads are few, competition is fierce, and every clue that he uncovers only raises more questions.
Worse, the monstrous Dreads that roam the Expanse are increasing in number, making each day more dangerous than the last. Pursued by old rivals and unsettled by whispers of secret organizations that challenge his understanding of the world, Diesel will have to decide which he’d rather chase: his mark or the truth.

Predestined By Rebecca Danzenbaker
From the author of Soulmatch comes a dystopian romantic thriller where a risk-averse teen trusts the future-predicting AI to identify potential threats, but it completely misses the mysterious rebel intent on upending her world.
Gloria St. John’s life is 88.3% predictable. It’s a great score. She makes smart choices, avoids unnecessary risks, and grumbles about the country’s oppressive predictability system while simultaneously reaping the rewards. That is, until her Futurecast app, the one that predicts her next twenty-four hours, alerts Gloria that she’ll suddenly vanish tomorrow morning. But that’s impossible. Must be a glitch, right? Right?
Turns out the “glitch” is linked to a mysterious rebel, Elwood, who knows far more than he should about Gloria, the predictability AI, and its developer—Gloria’s dad. Driven by growing resentment of her father’s control, Gloria agrees to meet Elwood in exchange for answers, but Elwood hasn’t come to help Gloria. He’s here to destroy her.
Gloria’s race against the clock to save herself and her loved ones unexpectedly turns up the truth about her mother’s unsolved murder. Soon she’s rethinking not only her past but her every step, especially since Futurecast insists she won’t survive the night.

Once a charming landmark of a quaint small town, Ashford Inn’s only business now comes from true crime fans obsessed with its dark past. Five years ago, local teen Willow Fremont was found dead in one of the inn’s rooms. Her case has gone cold, but a recent book speculating on the mystery has sparked renewed interest. This ghoulish fascination may be the only thing keeping the lights on, but that doesn’t mean Olive Ashford has to like it.
Olive was the one to find Willow’s body. She was thirteen and naïve at the time, dismissed by local police, but now she’s older, smarter, and wary of true crime fanatics looking for a sound bite. They always seem to conveniently forget that Olive and her sister, Marie, are more than characters in their new favorite book—they’re real people who suffered real tragedy.
Willow and Marie used to be best friends but had a falling out while Marie was away at college. The last time Olive and Willow spoke, Willow accused Olive of writing her a threatening note to get back at Willow on Marie’s behalf. Then Willow was dead. Weeks later, so was Olive and Marie’s mom, leaving them on their own—Olive homeschooling herself and Marie working two jobs.
Olive is ready to grin and bear the latest crew of true crime podcasters…until she receives a death threat exactly like Willow’s—that only Olive, Willow, and the killer ever saw. With Marie busy as always, not to mention head over heels for one of the prime suspects, Olive has no choice but to turn to the true crime–loving teens for help finding a killer before a killer finds her.
