Synopsis: Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit
hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves,
and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the
vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it
through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's
always dreamed of.
That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs.
As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind.
If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head.

Synopsis: Of the various star systems that make up the Confederation, most lie
thousands of light-years from First Earth-and out here, no one is free. The
agencies that govern the Confederation are as corrupt as the crime bosses who
patrol it, and power is held by anyone with enough greed and ruthlessness to
claim it. That power is derived from one thing: metatech, the devices that
allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light.
Jeth Seagrave and his crew of teenage mercenaries have survived in this world by stealing unsecured metatech, and they're damn good at it. Jeth doesn't care about the politics or the law; all he cares about is earning enough money to buy back his parents' ship, Avalon, from his crime-boss employer and getting himself and his sister, Lizzie, the heck out of Dodge. But when Jeth finds himself in possession of information that both the crime bosses and the government are willing to kill for, he is going to have to ask himself how far he'll go to get the freedom he's wanted for so long.

Synopsis: Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves
like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only
Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which
they rest is the Archive.
Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she's struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn't easy -- not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she's really safe.
Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She's sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she'll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels?

Even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, how can she refuse her duty to kill him?
