New Adult Fiction: Thursday, August 22

Why not stop by the library this week to see what’s new on the shelves. We’ve got a number of new books and other media for you to review. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

The Truth According to Ember

Ember Lee Cardinal has not always been a liar. But when her résumé is rejected 37 times, she gets creative answering the ethnicity question on all job applications. No one wanted Native American Ember, but Caucasian Ember landed her dream accounting job. She starts to secretly date the IT guy and fellow Native, Danuwoa. But an executive threatens to expose them unless Ember manipulates the company’s accounting books for him. As the blackmail grows, so do Ember’s lies. She must make the hard decision to either stay silent or finally tell the truth.

Close Knit

In the northernmost reaches of Scotland lives Gertie MacIntyre, a proud island girl by birth. Her social circle is small but tight: family and friends, particularly the women in her knitting circle. In the whitewashed cottages of their hometown, everyone knows everyone, and the ladies of the knitting circle know more than most. When Gertie develops a crush on Callum Frost, who owns the local airline, she dares herself to take a job as an air stewardess on the little plane that serves the local islands. Will Gertie’s future lie in the skies? Or will she need to go further afield to find the adventure she craves?

Born of Bone and Ash

While Sera is finally free of Kolis and back with those she loves, not everything is calm. Memories of all she’s endured still haunt her, but Sera finally has hope for a future. Nyktos desires, loves, and accepts every part of her — even the monstrous bits she still battles. More than ever, Sera and Ash have everything under the realms to fight for, and Nyktos has no doubt Sera is fit to be the Queen of the Gods. But she must find that faith within herself if they hope to convince the other Courts to support them against Kolis and make Iliseeum and the mortal realm better, safer places for all.
