The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender 329 pages
"In this asylum, your mind plays tricks on you all the time ..." Delia's
new house isn't just a house. Long ago, it was the Piven Institute for
the Care and Correction of Troubled Females -- an insane asylum
nicknamed "Hysteria Hall." However, many of the inmates were not insane,
just defiant and strong willed. Kind of like Delia herself. But the
house still wants to keep "troubled" girls locked away. So, in the most
horrifying way, Delia becomes trapped. And that's when she learns that
the house is also haunted. Ghost girls wander the hallways in their
old-fashioned nightgowns. A handsome ghost boy named Theo roams the
grounds. Delia learns that all the spirits are unsettled and full of
dark secrets. The house, too, harbors shocking truths within its walls
-- truths that only Delia can uncover, and that may set her free. And
she'll need to act quickly -- before the house's power overtakes
everything she loves.

Famous Last Words by Katie Alender
Famous Last Words by Katie Alender 312 pages
Willa is freaking out. It seems like she's seeing things. Like a dead body in her swimming pool. Frantic messages on her walls. A reflection that is not her own. It's almost as if someone -- or something -- is trying to send her a message.
Meanwhile, a killer is stalking Los Angeles -- a killer who reenacts famous movie murder scenes. Could Willa's strange visions have to do with these unsolved murders? Or is she going crazy? And who can she confide in? There's Marnie, her new friend who may not be totally trustworthy. And there's Reed, who's ridiculously handsome and seems to get Willa. There's also Wyatt, who's super smart but unhealthily obsessed with the Hollywood Killer.
All Willa knows is, she has to confront the possible-ghost in her house, or she just might lose her mind . . . or her life.
