The Suffering Tree
by Elle Cosimano
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Release Date: June 13th 2017
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal

Synopsis:

“It’s dark magic brings him back.”

Tori Burns and her family left D.C. for claustrophobic Chaptico, Maryland, after suddenly inheriting a house under mysterious circumstances. That inheritance puts her at odds with the entire town, especially Jesse Slaughter and his family—it’s their generations-old land the Burns have “stolen.” But none of that seems to matter after Tori witnesses a young man claw his way out of a grave under the gnarled oak in her new backyard. 

Nathaniel Bishop may not understand what brought him back, but it’s clear to Tori that he hates the Slaughters for what they did to him centuries ago. Wary yet drawn to him by a shared sense of loss, she gives him shelter. But in the wake of his arrival comes a string of troubling events—including the disappearance of Jesse Slaughter’s cousin—that seem to point back to Nathaniel.

As Tori digs for the truth—and slowly begins to fall for Nathaniel—she uncovers something much darker in the tangled branches of the Slaughter family tree. In order to break the centuries-old curse that binds Nathaniel there and discover the true nature of her inheritance, Tori must unravel the Slaughter family’s oldest and most guarded secrets. But the Slaughters want to keep them buried… at any cost.

From award-winning author Elle Cosimano comes a haunting, atmospheric thriller perfect to hand to readers of the Mara Dyer trilogy and Bone Gap.

Ray of Light (The Incandescent Series, #1)
by Elle Scott
Publisher: DJB
Release Date: March 17th 2017

Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult, Contemporary, Sci-Fi

Synopsis:

"Even after darkness has crept throughout my body and threatened to leave me empty, I don't feel hollow. Instead, a small sparkle of light glistens in the distance, and it's called hope." - Nora Ray 

What if five minutes became five years? 

What if your friends became foes? 

What if every truth became a lie? 

Yesterday, Nora worked for Palladium Enterprises with her closest friends, collecting orbs that have the power to protect and destroy. 

Today, she's caught in a war. 

One choice can change everything. 

Ray of Light is Elle Scott's debut novel, and is the first in a Speculative Fiction trilogy called The Incandescent Series. Ray of light follows three strong females as they find themselves in the crossfire of a war over mysterious orbs. The strange appearance of these orbs, where they come from, or what they will be used for is not what threatens these girls the most; their biggest obstacle will be the choices they each have to make. 

Whose choices will lead to peace, and whose will lead to destruction? 

If you love Lauren Oliver, Claudia Grey, and Rachael Craw, you will love this powerful new speculative fiction trilogy for Young Adults.

Elle Scott lives in scenic Huon Valley, Tasmania, Australia with her husband, two sons, three cats and one big, goofy Labrador. 

She writes fast-paced fiction that stretch reality. Always with a hint of romance.

Elle also tells real stories with her camera, and is a multi-award winning family photographer.

Elle hopes to one day run workshops for self-conscious women, to turn them from a wallflower to a wildflower and give them the confidence to chase their dreams with ferocity.
