This month’s To Read is going to be a little less hectic, but I’m honestly unsure how successful it’s going to be. I’m moving away to university in less than two weeks, so I’m spending most days with family and friends and preparing for the move. However, as soon as I’m settled in I’m sure I’ll be able to return to my reading before my course officially starts.
These choices are all from what I picked up at YALC a few months back, giving me a little more excitement about this month’s plans! I really hope I’ll be able to get around to all of them. I’ve also put down a few ARC’s I’ve received from Netgalley, feeling as if I’ve been neglecting that site somewhat recently and there’s a few I’m behind on. Fingers crossed I’ll manage it!

Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life.
Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders. But they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer… before the killer strikes again.

Then Troy Byrne returns to school.
It’s been three years since Troy got expelled from Hulbert on bogus drug charges — but he’s over it. And over his parents’ impending divorce. Maybe even over his feelings for Levi. But when his troubled sister disappears, he must return to the treacherous halls of Hulbert. Photo negatives in her trashed apartment connect her disappearance to the headmaster’s death. To find his sister, he’ll need Levi’s help. Now Troy has no choice but to confront his feelings for a boy he was hoping to forget.
As Troy and Levi follow a scavenger hunt of clues, they unearth a dangerous blackmailing scheme that extends far beyond their claustrophobic prep school. Is Troy’s sister missing or did someone make her disappear? And are the boys next?
