In My Mailbox (58)
In My Mailbox is something was
that started over at The
Story Siren and I think it’s
pretty awesome. It’s a way to showcase the books that you gotten through
different places. Books you gotten in the mail, brought from a store, borrowed
from the library, received to write a review, or they can be
in eBook form. Here's a link to see how it all started.

Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy #1) by Wendy Higgins
What if there were teens whose lives depended
on being bad influences? This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil.
Tenderhearted Southern girl, Anna Whitt, was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She’s aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn’t until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage, and her will-power is put to the test. He’s the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.
Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?
First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky
Like
his name, Gray is dark and stormy. Dylan, a girl always searching for what’s
next, seemingly unable to settle down, is the exact opposite: full of light and
life. On the outside, they seem like an unlikely couple. But looks can be
deceiving and besides, opposites attract.
What starts as friendship, turns into admiration, respect and caring, until finally these two lone souls find they are truly in love with each other.
But staying in love is not as easy as falling in love. If Dylan and Gray want their love to last, they’re going to have to work at it. And learn that sometimes love means having to say you’re sorry.

Wrecked by Anna Davies
Secrets of the sea have never been sexier than
this.
Ever since the death of her parents, Miranda has lived on Whym Island, taking comfort in the local folklore, which claims a mysterious sea witch controls the fate of all on the island and in its surrounding waters. Sometimes it’s just easier to believe things are out of your control.
But then a terrible boating accident takes the lives of several of her friends, and Miranda is rescued by a mysterious boy who haunts her dreams. Consumed by guilt from the accident, she finds refuge in late-night swims—and meets Christian, a boy who seems eerily familiar, but who is full of mystery: He won’t tell her where he is from, or why they can only meet at the beach. But Miranda falls for him anyway…and discovers that Christian’s secrets, though meant to protect her, may bring her nothing but harm.

Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris
Two days before the start
of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck
and killed—as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and
then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she's opening her eyes to find
Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to,
leaning over her. And even though it isn't possible, she knows—with every fiber
of her being—that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.
But
her revival, and Ben's possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles
that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI agent father's files for
clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down
to something—but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can
no longer deny what's right in front of her: Everything that's happened—the
accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben's sudden appearance in her
life—points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down,
she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she's
going to need to uncover Ben's secrets—and keep from falling in love with him
in the process.
Body & Soul (Ghost and the Goth #3) by Stacey Kade
The final book in The Ghost and the Goth
Trilogy!
The Ghost
I’ve been trapped in the body of Lily “Ally” Turner for a month now. Talk about a fashion crisis on an epic scale. What worries me more, though, is sometimes I catch Will looking at me like he thinks I’m Lily...or that he wishes I were. Without the good looks of my former self, I don’t know who I am, or if who that is is good enough. I need out of this mess. Now.
Will and I have been looking for a solution, one that would separate me from Lily without killing her. But it’s not going well. Then, when it seems like things couldn’t get any worse, we run into Misty, my former best friend and boyfriend-stealer extraordinaire, who claims she’s being haunted...by me. Seriously?
I’m determined to get to the bottom of who’s pretending to be the spirit of Alona Dare (while I’m pretending to be someone else) and then get the heck out of this body. Or die trying...

I’ll admit it. It’s really weird to look at Alona but see Lily. I do know the difference, though, contrary to what Alona might be saying. And Alona is more than a pretty face to me, not that she would believe that.
Our one lead for some help in this messed up situation might be a page torn from the yellow pages-—the “Psychics” section-—I found in my dad’s stuff. One of the “fakes” seems a bit more real-—and odd-—than the others. Before I can investigate further, though, Alona is off and chasing a ghost that’s probably nothing more than a figment of Misty’s guilty imagination. Now Lily’s family is freaking out because she didn’t come home, my mom is ordering me to stay out of it, and something is definitely wrong with the person formerly known as Lily “Ally” Turner...

Foxfire (Other #3) by Karen Kincy
One
winter long ago, Tavian Kimura watched his mother--a kitsune, or Japanese
fox-spirit--leave him in the snow for the dogs. But that’s a memory buried
beneath eleven years, and he has lived most of his life in America with his
adoptive family and his girlfriend, Gwen.
Now he’s back. All it took was an invitation to spend New Year’s with his grandparents, and Tavian finds himself in Tokyo with Gwen by his side. It should be a time of celebration, but it becomes a time of nightmares. A faceless ghost haunts Tavian, warning him that “she” is coming. A gang of inugami--fiercely loyal dog-spirits--wants him dead. Why? The inugami believe he strongly resembles one of their most hated enemies, a kitsune named Yukimi.
Is Yukimi the mother who abandoned him? Tavian never knew her true name. He doesn’t even know his own true name, the key to a kitsune’s magic. And soon his untrained magic threatens to kill him, straining his half-human body. Tavian realizes that finding his mother might be the only way to find answers, before it’s too late.
