Nameless: A Tale of Beauty and Madness by Lili St. Crow

When Camille was six years old, she was discovered alone in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, godfather of the Seven—the powerful Families that rule magic-ridden New Haven. Papa Vultusino adopted the mute, scarred child, naming her after his dead wife and raising her in luxury on Haven Hill alongside his own son, Nico. Now Cami is turning sixteen. She’s no longer mute, though she keeps her faded scars hidden under her school uniform, and though she opens up only to her two best friends, Ruby and Ellie, and to Nico, who has become more than a brother to her. But even though Cami is a pampered Vultusino heiress, she knows that she is not really Family. Unlike them, she is a mortal with a past that lies buried in trauma. And it’s not until she meets the mysterious Tor, who reveals scars of his own, that Cami begins to uncover the secrets of her birth... to find out where she comes from and why her past is threatening her now. I brought this book with me on vacation,

The Fall by Bethany Griffin

The Fall by Bethany Griffin Madeline Usher is Doomed. The House of Usher lives and breathes around her. For generations, it has sent every Usher spiraling into madness. It claimed her mother and her father. Now it wants Madeline and her twin brother. No one can help them. But no one, no other Usher in the generations of their haunted family, has known the house the way Madeline does. She may finally be the one who can destroy it all. Until she wakes up in a coffin. We picked this one out to read for our October Staff Book Club meeting. It's just creepy enough to enthrall me. Instead of focusing on the gruesome details, and there were a lot of gruesome happenings, it focused more on the story and Madeline's hope and despair of escaping the house. This book made for a fun read and was perfect for October. - Olivia Find This Book In Our Library Catalog
