Reboot (Reboot #1) By: Amy Tintera
Published: May 7th, 2013
Goodreads Summary:
Five years ago, Wren
Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came

The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return.
Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen
years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and
Repopulation Corporation).
Wren’s favorite part of the job is
training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she’s ever
seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too
slow, he’s always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is
freaking her out. Yet there’s something about him she can’t ignore. When
Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get
him in line—or she’ll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed
before and knows if she does, she’ll be eliminated, too. But she has
also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders

are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.
To
make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is
lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of
friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life
hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen
is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her
shores.
In Josephine Angelini’s compelling conclusion to the
masterfully woven Starcrossed trilogy, a goddess must rise above it all
to change a destiny that’s been written in the stars. With worlds built
just as fast as they crumble, love and war collide in an all-out battle
that will leave no question unanswered and no heart untouched

Goodreads Summary:
With power comes enemies. Lots of them.
Hunter
Garrity just wants to be left alone. He’s learned the hard way that his
unusual abilities come at a price. And he can’t seem to afford any
allies.
He’s up to his neck in hostiles. His grandfather,
spoiling for a fight. The Merrick brothers, who think he ratted them
out. Calla, the scheming psycho who wants to use him as bait.
Then there’s Kate Sullivan, the new girl at school. She’s not hostile. She’s bold. Funny. Hot. But she’s got an agenda, too.
With
supposedly secret powers rippling to the surface everywhere around him,
Hunter knows something ugly is about to go down. But finding out what
means he’ll have to find someone he can trust…

Goodreads Summary:
A searing and
gripping read that explores the depths of desperation true love can
inspire, from the author of Being Friends with Boys.
Nikki’s
life is far from perfect, but at least she has Dee. Her friends tell
her that Dee is no good, but Nikki can’t imagine herself without him.
He’s hot, he’s dangerous, he has her initials tattooed over his heart,
and she loves him more than anything. There’s nothing Nikki wouldn’t do
for Dee. Absolutely nothing.
So when Dee pulls Nikki into a
crime—a crime that ends in murder—Nikki tells herself that it’s all for
true love. Nothing can break them apart. Not the police. Not the arrest
that lands Nikki in jail. Not even the investigators who want her to
testify against him.
But what if Dee had motives that Nikki knew
nothing about? Nikki’s love for Dee is supposed to be unconditional…but
even true love has a limit. And Nikki just might have reached hers.
