New Adult Fiction: Monday, November 4

On an overcast fall day like today, what could be better than curling up with a good book? We’ve got tons of new books coming in regularly—stop by and check them out. 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 First Binding

“All legends are borne of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first. I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Then I killed their god. I’ve stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I’ve called lightning and bound fire. I am legend. And I am a monster. My name is Ari. And this is the story of how I let loose the first evil.” Thus begins the tale of a storyteller. But the sins of their past aren’t forgotten, and neither are their enemies.

Haunting Adeline

Haunting Adeline follows Adeline Reilly, a young author who has recently moved into her family’s home in Washington state following the death of her grandmother. She is stalked by Zade Meadows, the leader of an underground organization, Z, which aims to end human trafficking. With the help of her friend Daya, Adeline uncovers the secrets of her new home, Parsons Manor, and the murder of her great-grandmother, Gigi, all while trying to keep Zade at an arm’s length.

One Big Happy Family

Julie Parker’s kids are her greatest gift. Still, she’s not exactly heartbroken when they ask to skip a big Christmas. Her son, Nick, is taking a belated honeymoon with his bride, Blair, while her daughter, Dana, will purge every reminder of the guy who dumped her. Again. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man she’s secretly dating. But her plans go from cozy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julie’s ex. She can’t refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realize she’s been hiding him for months. As the guest list grows in surprising ways, Julie’s secret is one of many to be unwrapped.
