The House by Christina Lauren



This creepy and chilling tale features Delilah who falls for the strange outsider, Gavin, who lives in the "patchwork" house that raised him. The House has its own personality, seemingly warm and loving at the start but begins to turn more and more sinister as Delilah and Gavin grow closer. When Delilah asks him where he will go to college, the room gets colder; House clearly doesn't like Delilah. As they realize the reach and control that House has over their world, the teens begin to realize how dangerous the situation is and secretly begin planning to escape.

Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings join together to create a gripping page-turner that is sure to please both avid horror fans and reluctant readers alike.

No True Echo by Gareth P. Jones



A gripping time-travel novel guaranteed to make you think yourself in circles.

Eddie lives with his grandmother, who is keeping secrets about Eddie's mother, and has a ho-hum life in dull Wellcome Valley until Scarlett White boards his school bus one day. After she comes along, Eddie witnesses a horrific murder and then finds himself returned to the first day he met her, and realizes he is the only one with any memory of her.

Although the ending is a little unsatisfying, overall this is one book that you can't bear to put down. This time-travel thriller, faintly reminiscent of the film Groundhog Day is sure to be a hit with both time-travel fans and reluctant readers and would spark great discussions about time travel, causal loops, and ethics in any book club.
