A court of silver flames by Sarah J. Maas. Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the
journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta.
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive.
And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will,
she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits.
Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she
lost in it.
The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred
warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in
Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between
them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with
each other.
Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last
war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled
over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta
facing their haunting pasts.
Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty,
Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and
healing-in each other's arms. Book 5 of 5: A Court of Thorns and Roses series, 448 pages, 4.8 Stars, ISBN-13: 978-1635577990, Call #: PS3613.A175 C688 2020

Paradise lost by John Milton. In Paradise Lost, Milton produced a poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos
ranging across huge tracts of space and time. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan
and naked Adam and Eve at the center of this story, he also created an intensely human
tragedy on the Fall of Man. Written when Milton was in his fifties—blind, bitterly
disappointed by the Restoration, and briefly in danger of execution—Paradise Lost’s
apparent ambivalence toward authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages
to “justify the ways of God to men,” or exposes the cruelty of Christianity. 512 pages,

One of us is next by Karen M. McManus. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole
new set of rules. The highly anticipated sequel to One of Us Is Lying! Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this. A ton of copycat gossip apps have
popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of
his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could.
The problem is no one has the facts. Until now. This time it's not an app, though—it
is a game.
Truth or Dare.
Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark.
Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare. But by the time
Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly,
and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on
the police for help. Or protection.
Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And
the rules have changed.
