Synopsis Knife Point by : Emily Kinsman

17-year-old Dylan Towns has lived a life filled with pain and suffering. Her past surfaces in the form of intimacy issues and flashbacks. Thinking she was less than deserving, Dylan never imagined that she'd be asked to attend an elite boarding school for the rich. With a sprawling campus nestled within a private forest, Halder Academy was something out of a dream; even when she learns she's required to choose a specialty to train in. When an error forces Dylan to spend time with three drop-dead gorgeous brothers, her time at Halder Academy becomes a bit more complicated. Dylan has to learn to navigate: a new school; a specialty she didn't want; her growing feelings for Seb, Connor, and Gray; and the unwanted attention of a stalker. This is a slow burn reverse harem novel. Book 1 of 3 in the Halder Academy series. Content Warnings available on the author's website.

Synopsis Knifepoint by : Edward W. Robertson

Raina was just a girl when the plague came. She survived. Her parents didn't. Neither did the world. As civilization fell, she took to the ruins of Los Angeles, eating whatever she could catch.

Their makeshift family lives a quiet life--until a man named Karslaw sails in from Catalina Island with an army of conquerors.

As violence wracks the city, Raina joins a rebellion against Karslaw's rule. She will stop at nothing to free her mother--and to have her revenge. ~ Knifepoint is the fourth book in the post-apocalyptic BREAKERS series.

Synopsis The Water Knife by : Paolo Bacigalupi

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A "fresh, genre-bending thriller” (Los Angeles Times) set in the near future when water is scarce and a spy, a hardened journalist and a young Texas migrant find themselves pawns in a corrupt game. "Think Chinatown meets Mad Max." NPR, All Things Considered In the near future, the Colorado River has dwindled to a trickle. Detective, assassin, and spy, Angel Velasquez “cuts” water for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, ensuring that its lush arcology developments can bloom in Las Vegas. When rumors of a game-changing water source surface in Phoenix, Angel is sent south, hunting for answers that seem to evaporate as the heat index soars and the landscape becomes more and more oppressive. There, he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with her own agenda, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas migrant, who dreams of escaping north. As bodies begin to pile up, the three find themselves pawns in a game far bigger and more corrupt than they could have imagined, and when water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and the only truth in the desert is that someone will have to bleed if anyone hopes to drink.

Synopsis Knife's Edge by : Hope Larson

A standalone, adventure-packed companion to the New York Times bestseller Compass South, from the same team who created the Eisner Award-winner Salt Magic. Twelve-year-old twin adventurers Cleopatra and Alexandra Dodge are reunited with their father and realize that two family heirlooms reveal the location of a treasure that is their birthright. When they set sail with Captain Tarboro on the Almira, they know they’re heading into danger —the ocean is filled with new and old enemies, including their nemesis, the infamous pirate Felix Worley. But like a coral reef that lurks below the surface of the waves, trouble is brewing between the siblings. Alex is determined to become a sailor and is happy with his role aboard the Almira, but Cleo—the only girl on the ship—is tired of washing dishes in the galley. In an effort to find her own purpose, she begins studying sword fighting with Tarboro, but neither Alex nor her father approves. Can the twins remain close as they pursue different goals and dreams, or will their growing differences tear the family apart before the treasure can be found? In this follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Compass South, Hope Larson and Rebecca Mock once again create an outstanding seafaring adventure with Knife's Edge. A Margaret Ferguson Book
