Then something shocking washes up on the beach: Ilven's death has called out of the sea a dangerous, wild magic.

Partials (Partials, #1)Partials (Partials #1) - Dan Wells
Releasedatum: 28 februari, 2012
Goodreads: Partials

Humanity is all but extinguished after a war with partials--engineered organic beings identical to humans--has decimated the world’s population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island. The threat of the partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to the disease in over a decade. Humanity’s time is running out.

When sixteen-year-old Kira learns of her best friend’s pregnancy, she’s determined to find a solution. Then one rash decision forces Kira to flee her community with the unlikeliest of allies. As she tries desperately to save what is left of her race, she discovers that the survival of both humans and partials rests in her attempts to answer questions of the war’s origin that she never knew to ask.

Combining the fast-paced action of The Hunger Games with the provocative themes of Battlestar Galactica, Partials is a pulse-pounding journey into a world where the very concept of what it means to be human is in question--one where our sense of humanity is both our greatest liability, and our only hope for survival.

behind a wall of smoke and flame.

Zach is riding the Greyhound bus through a snowstorm to visit his older brother Derek, whom he hasn’t seen in seven months. That’s when their parents finally went broke paying Derek’s doctor’s bills and had to give him up as a ward of the state. Nothing—not drawing in his sketchbook, not basketball—lets Zach forget that his brother is living in a mental institution five states away. But surprisingly, sitting next to a talkative teenage girl he nicknames Purplehead starts to take the edge off Zach’s pain.

Prompted by a chain of unpredictable events and by the people he meets along the way, Zach’s cynical humor gives us a poignant look at medical insurance and health care systems for the mentally ill, and at the everyday fears, joys, and revelations of adolescence.

Elyse knows what it means to keep a secret. She's been keeping secrets her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than the average person, so that while she looks eighteen years old, she's closer to eighty. Second, that her blood has a mysterious power to heal. For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous. After the death of her parents, she's been careful to keep her secret as closely guarded as possible. Now, only one other person in the world knows about her age and ability. Or so she thinks. Elyse is not the only one keeping secrets. There are others like her all over the world, descendants of the very people the Greeks considered gods. She is one of them, and they have been waiting for her for a long time. Among so many of her kind, she should not be very remarkable--except for the prophecy. Some believe she will put an end to traditions, safeguarded by violence, which have oppressed her people for centuries. Others are determined to keep her from doing just that. But for Elyse, the game is just beginning--and she's not entirely willing to play by their rules.

Allt jag säger är sant - Lisa Bjärbo
Releasedatum: 1 mars, 2012. Har sett lite olika releasedatum på olika sidor, så vi vet inte riktigt vilken som stämmer, men den kommer ut i mars i alla fall ;) 


"Jag är Alicia. Sexton, snart sjutton, med kolsyra i venerna och håret på svaj. Och nej, jag är kanske inte riktigt självlysande. Men det är fan på gränsen."

Efter en kort stund av insikt på en trång skoltoalett fattar Alicia ett beslut. Det här med att sitta i skolbänken och slösa bort både tid och talang håller helt enkelt inte längre. Hon är menad för något större. Dagen därpå slår hon igen sitt skåp för sista gången, lämnar gymnasiet bakom sig, och kliver ut i världen. Redo att göra stordåd, bara så där. "Jag menar ... hur svårt kan det rimligen vara?"

Redan när Alicia ska berätta för sin omgivning att hon hoppat av skolan börjar det jävlas. Bästa kompisen Fanny stirrar på henne som om hon vore en idiot. Skolan hotar med att koppla in kommunen. Alicias föräldrar stammar något ursinnigt om "vikten av en ordentlig utbildning" och "att tänka på sin framtid". Och mormor - som alltid, alltid annars står på Alicias sida - bara suckar trött. Vad är det här? Vad hände med att det mesta i världen brukade bli precis så som Alicia ville att det skulle bli?

17-åriga Cassia Reyes lever i en värld där Samfundet styr. Ett kliniskt rent samhälle där allt är bestämt på förhand. Det har blivit dags för banketten, något som Cassia har sett fram emot i åratal. Det är nu hon ska få reda på vem hon ska leva med resten av sitt liv, vem Samfundet har matchat ihop henne med för att uppnå största möjliga perfektion. Cassia har alltid litat på Samfundet, på att de fattar de rätta besluten åt henne: vad hon ska läsa och vad hon ska tro på. Så när Xanders ansikte dyker upp på bildskärmen under matchningsceremonin vet Cassia att han är hennes idealpartner - tills hon ser Ky Markhams ansikte flasha förbi under ett ögonblick, innan skärmen släcks ner.

Cassia börjar förstå att allt inte är som det verkar. Om Samfundet vet bäst, hur kommer det sig då att hon har parats ihop med fel person? Och vad händer om hon blir kär i någon annan, någon förbjuden, någon som inte är hennes utvalda?
