YA
Seventeen-year-old Lizzie Borden is physically and emotionally abused by her cruel father and stepmother in this modern-day reimagining of the historical murder mystery. Painfully shy and suffering from a medical condition that causes blackouts during menstruation, Lizzie leads a miserable life until a charismatic new maid at her parents' bed-and-breakfast sparks hope and possibility. Spoiler alert: things don't end well in this dark, unsettling thriller.

YA
Seventeen-year-old auto thief Jules boosted forty-two cars before she got caught. Miraculously, instead of going to jail, she and her little sister have a new foster parent--a peculiar millionaire who's assembled a teen crime crew to steal seven rare cars. Jules's tough-as-nails voice, the gritty Las Vegas setting, and adrenaline drive this entertaining (and requisitely over-the-top) Gone in Sixty Seconds–like adventure.
