Paz Dario stays up every night, waiting for the Death-Cast call that would mean he doesn’t have to keep faking his way through this lonely life. Alano Rosa is heir to the Death-Cast empire that encourages everyone to live their best lives, but he doesn’t feel in control of his own existence thanks to his father. Fate brings Paz and Alano together, but it’s now up to the boys to survive the tragic trials ahead so no one dies at the end. Also available as an eBook

Watch Me (Shatter Me: The New Republic, Book 1) by Tahereh Mafi — Lose yourself in this return to the Shatter Me universe — the first book in a new series set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment.

All that matters is that he managed to do what his older brother, the famous Aaron Warner Anderson, never did: infiltrate Ark Island, the last refuge of The Reestablishment. In the past decade no outsider has breached the stronghold of the authoritarian regime, but James is in. In a prison cell, sure, but as far as James is concerned, a win is a win. Also available as an eBook
“This new adventure maintains the original series’ legacy of deadly protagonists, surveillance states, and propulsive romance” (Booklist).
