Every Ugly Word by Aimee L. Salter
Every Ugly Word follows
17 year old
Ashley who is relentlessly bullied at her high school and by her own mother,
and is helplessly in love with her best friend, Matt, who is bullied by his
father.
She
seeks help by looking to her future self, “Older Me” who supports her through
it all and teaches her to love herself. But is she really seeking “Older Me” or
is she looking within herself for the answers?
When
Ashley looks in the mirror she can see and talk to her future self. “Older Me”
has been her support system through her relentless tormentor’s bullying, her
unstable mother at home, and her forlorn love for her longtime best friend. But
when Ashley discovers “Older Me’s” betrayal, she is targeted in the worst way
and impends her last chance with Matt. She’s done with hearing every ugly word.
A digital ARC of Every Ugly Word is available for librarians through NetGalley.

Imitation by Heather Hildenbrand
Everyone
is exactly like me.
There
is no one like me.
The
rough fabric of my cotton nightgown chafes so I lie very still. They say my
discomfort comes from being built like one accustomed to niceties. How is that
fair when I myself have never experienced anything but copies of the real
thing?
My
entire life is an imitation.
I
am an Imitation.
I’ve
been here five years. Training. Preparing. Waiting.
And
now I have a letter.
My
assignment has begun.
I
am a prisoner.
I
am not Raven Rogen.
I
am here to die.
Ven is an
Imitation, a clone of a wealthy girl named Raven. Imitations only leave their
home, Twig City, when they are needed by their Authentics- to replace them in
any situation, to serve as organ donors, or, as in Ven's case, to become bait
when her Authentic's life has been threatened. Ven must pretend to be Raven
even as she experiences the sights, sounds, and feelings of the real world for
the first time. But real life is
more dangerous than she ever imagined. The attacks begin the second she
replaces her Authentic, and Ven is quickly caught in a game of cat-and-mouse
with her assailants.

Rebel Wing by Tracy Banghart
There are two things in the world that Aris truly loves:
flying in her wingjet above Atalanta, and Calix, the boy that she is about to
be promised to after the selection.
Just before the selection happens, a mysterious military
officer named Theo presents her with a job alternative in his sector she never
thought possible: to fly. But from all
the information that Aris has ever known, women are not allowed in the Military
sector of the Five Dominions. What could he possibly have in mind?
With the war between the Five Dominions and Safara becoming increasingly
dire, Theo also shares with Aris that there will be an increase in military
recruits assigned at the selection and Calix will likely be on that list –
allowing Aris to truly consider the job offer.
She could save lives, maybe even Calix’s.
In a society where conflict has overtaken, relationships are
tested through the most dangerous of situations: war. REBEL WING will test the limits of love and explore how far people
will go for the ones they truly care about. But even with Aris stepping up, high
up in the backbone of the Five Dominions reside the wards of each sector, those
in charge, and they truly have all the power.
