Predestined (Existence
Trilogy #2) by Abbi Glines
You would think after helping save her
boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well,
as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death.
But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder. The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited.
Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.

Divergent (Divergent
#2) by Veronica Roth
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five
factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the
honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the
peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year,
all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the
rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her
family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice
that surprises everyone, including herself.
During
the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris
and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a
romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the
life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from
everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a
growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she
also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it
might destroy her.

Zylan Captive (Zylar’s
Moons #1) by Ravyn Wilde
She is an
Earthling who has mysteriously been transported to another galaxy, to another
planet. Zylar is nothing like she has ever imagined. And yet, here she is—and
apparently life-mated to Tar. If he knows what's good for him, he'll start
doing some explaining: What are these gold chains that are attached to certain…um…delicate
parts of her body and, just what in the hell is happening to her? She's
starting to change…
He is Tar, ruler of Zylar. He has found his life-companion and he's not about to let her go. He is going to enjoy instructing her in her new duties—duties she'll perform as a traditional Zylan woman. She isn't stupid so it shouldn't take long at all for her to learn to be submissive and to do whatever he says, when he says it. After all, Earth women aren't that hard to tame. Ah, life is good!
