Nil Unlocked by Lynne Matson (Henry Holt, hardcover, $17.99, on sale 5/12/15) is "a fast, tense gift for readers wanting to return to Nil" (Kirkus). On the island of Nil, the rules are set. You have exactly 365 days to escape - or you die. Rives is now the undisputed Leader of Nil City, but keeping the City united is tougher than ever.

Lynne grew up in Georgia in a house full of books and a backyard full of gnarly pines. She attended the University of Florida, where she met and married her husband, the cutest boy she's ever seen. Now, Lynne is mother to four amazing boys. A former attorney, she is thrilled to be making a new career in YA fiction.

Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, The Death Code (Greenwillow, hardcover, $17.99, on sale 5/26/15) is the dark and compelling sequel to Lindsay Cummings' bestselling The Murder Complex, which Booklist praised as "carefully crafted...chilling" and Justine magazine called "a must for fans of action-packed dystopians like The Hunger Games and Divergent."

Lindsay lives in Texas with her husband, two German shepherds, a hedgehog, a wolf, lots of chickens, and a draft horse named Dan the Man. She is the author of The Murder Complex and The Death Code and the digital novella prequel The Fear Trials, as well as the middle-grade Balance Keepers series.

Acclaimed author Anne Blankman returns to the shadowy and dangerous world of 1930s Germany in Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke (Balzer + Bray, hardcover, $17.99), the thrilling sequel to Prisoner of Night and Fog, perfect for fans of Code Name Verity. VOYA says it "will leave the reader breathless with each unpredictable plot twist."

The idea for Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke came to Anne after she read about a real-life unsolved street assassination from January 1933, which was the inspiration for Monika Junge's murder. To research this book, she studied a wide range of sources, including biographies, memoirs, social histories, psychological profiles, old maps, photographs, and video footage. Anne lives in southeastern Virginia with her husband, her young daughter, and of course, lots and lots of books.

Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes (HarperTeen, hardcover, $17.99) is a dark and twisted psychological tale that will keep readers guessing, perfect for fans of I Hunt Killers and Gone Girl. According to Kirkus, "even the keenest mystery buffs will be hard-pressed to predict the book's finale, which packs quite the emotional and physical punch."

Paula writes stories about flawed characters with good hearts who sometimes make bad decisions. In addition to writing, she enjoys kayaking, hiking, reading, and seeking out new adventures in faraway lands. Paula is also the author of The Art of Lainey. She loves interacting with readers.

Set in the same world as The Promise of Amazing, The Secrets of Attraction (Balzer+Bray, hardcover, $17.99) is a smart, surprising, and romantic follow-up to Robin Constantine's debut novel that follows two New Jersey teens as they become friends and fall in love. Perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins, Sarah Mlynowski, and Jennifer E. Smith.

Robin is the author of The Promise of Amazing. A born-and-raised Jersey girl who moved south so she could wear flip-flops year-round, she spends her days dreaming up stories where love conquers all, eventually, but not without a lot of peril, angst, and the occasional kissing scene.

"Debut author [Tonya] Kuper's sleek prose [in Anomaly (Entangled, paperback, $9.99)] - saturated with pop-culture references - invites both nerds and the uninitiated into the world of the Oculi....great twists and the positive message that reality is ours to shape. Sweet teen reading for fans of X-Men, Star Trek, and all things geeky." (Kirkus)

Tonya's debut is Anomaly, the first in the Schrodinger's Consortium series, a young adult science fiction trilogy. She lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband and two boys. She's an alt rock junkie, a Star Wars dork, and is in love with Sherlock.
