Numbers ~ Rachel Ward


Since the day her mother died, Jem has known about the numbers. Numbers that pop into her head when she looks into someone's eyes. They're dates, the numbers. Dates predicting with brute accuracy each person's death. Burdened by such grim knowledge, Jem avoids relationships. Until she meets Spider, another outsider, and takes a chance. Maybe they can find happiness together, if only in the brief time that remains before his expiration date. But on the trip to London, Jem foresees a chilling chain of events: The city's a target. The clock's running out. The countdown is on to a blowup!

Breathless ~ Jessica Warman


Sent off to posh boarding school to escape the trouble caused by her brother's growing mental illness, Katie immerses herself in her swimming and the easy lie that her brother is actually dead. As she becomes part of the elite, popular crowd, Katie grows closer to those around her - a handsome fellow swimmer, Drew; her mysterious roommate, Mazzie; the beautiful and magnetic Estella. Yet it is always under the water that Katie feels most at home - where she can truly breath. But at prep school, secerts don't often stay far beneath the surface. Katie's lie constantly threatens to reveal itself - and when her brother commits an unthinkable act, Katie is left treading water breathless.
