Author: Leslie Connor
Release Date: June 24, 2014
Published by: Katherine Tegen Books
Bettina Vasilis can hardly believe it when basketball star Brady Cullen asks her out, and she just about faints when her strict father actually approves of him.
But when school starts up again, Brady changes. What happened to the sweet boy she fell in love with? The she meets a smoldering guy in his twenties, and this "cowboy" is everything Brady is not--gentle, caring, and interested in getting to know the real Bettina.
Bettina knows that breaking up with Brady would mean giving up her freedom--and that it would be inappropriate for anything to happen between her and Cowboy. Still, she can't help that she longs for the scent of his auto shop whenever she's anywhere else.
When tragedy strikes, Bettina must tell her family the truth--and kiss goodbye the things she thought she knew about herself and the men in her life. (Summary from Goodreads)

Bettina's story sounds sad, but I'm interested to learn what the tragedy is and how her family helps her.
(The Cahill Witch Chronicles, Book 3)
Author: Jessica Spotswood
Release Date: August 14, 2014
Published by: Putnam Juvenile
A fever ravages New London, but with the Brotherhood sending suspected witches straight to the gallows, the Sisters are powerless against the disease. They can't help without revealing their powers--as Cate learns when a potent display turns her into the most wanted witch in all of New England.
To make matters worse, Cate has been erased from the memory of her beloved Finn. While she's torn between protecting him from further attacks and encouraging him to fall for her all over again, she's certain she can never forgive Maura's betrayal. And now that Tess's visions have taken a deadly turn, the prophecy that one Cahill sister will murder another looms ever closer to its fulfillment. (Summary from Goodreads)
