A few new books

Fiction:

Iron Legends by Julie Kagawa -- novelettes Winter's Passage, Summer's Crossing and Iron's prophecy tell more of the life of Iron Queen Megan and her beloved Prince Ash.
So Close to You by Rachel Carter -- When a portal sends seventeen-year-old Lydia Bentley to 1945 at a secret military base near her Long Island home, she learns that her grandfather's stories of dangerous government experiments are true, that the Montauk Project was real, and that she needs the help of a darkly mysterious time traveler to return home.
Breathe by Sarah Crossan -- In a barren land, a shimmering glass dome houses the survivors of the Switch, the period when oxygen levels plunged and the green world withered. A state lottery meant a lucky few won safety, while the rest suffocated in the thin air. And now Alina, Quinn, and Bea -- an unlikely trio, each with their own agendas, their own longings and fears -- walk straight into the heart of danger. With two days' worth of oxygen in their tanks, they leave the dome. What will happen on the third day?
Rise of the Elgen by Richard Evans -- Fifteen-year-old Michael Vey, born with Tourette's syndrome and special electromagnetic powers, joins his techno-genius best friend and an alliance of other "electric" teenagers to battle powerful foes in the jungles of Peru, where Michael learns the Order of Elgen's plan to "restructure" the world.
