Maerad's powers grow stronger by the day but now she and her mentor, Cadvan, are being hunted by both the Light and the Dark, and must unravel the Riddle of the Treesong before their fractured kingdom erupts in chaos.
It Had to Be You by Sabrina Jordan is from the First Kisses series. Emma, who gives love advice under her "Dear Daisy" junior high school column, wonders if she is really qualified since she can't even get her cute next door neighbor to ask her out.
Flawless by Sara Shepard is from the Pretty Little Liars series. This looks like a series that you really should read in order, with a continuing storyline. This one is #2. I also ordered #1 at the same time, but it's not in yet - don't ask me why. Anyway, I'd hold out for #1, Pretty Little Liars. The series deals with the disappearance of one of a group of teenage friends.
