 Shimmer by Alyson Noel

 On the Come Up by Travis Hunter
Growing up in the heart of the Atlanta ghetto, siblings DeMarco and Jasmine Winslow have developed a talent for survival. By the time DeMarco was fifteen, being locked up was better than being at home. So whenever he got hungry or cold or just plain tired of living in the ghetto, he'd steal something and make sure he got caught. Jasmine, DeMarco's twin sister, hasn't had the luxury of vacationing in juvie. She's had to balance being an honor roll student with fighting off advances from her mother's boyfriend. After her mom sides with her boyfriend, Jasmine's out on the streets and running with the DIVAs, a rough group of girls.

 iBoy by Kevin Brooks
Sixteen-year-old Tom Harvey was an ordinary Londoner until an attack that caused fragments of an iPhone to be embedded in his brain, giving him incredible knowledge and power, but using that power against the gang that attacked him and a friend could have deadly consequences.

 Stefan's Diaries: The Ripper by L. J. Smith
Check the Catalog
The year is 1888, and the scent of blood lingers heavy in the London air.  Stefan Salvatore thought he could escape his violent origins by settling in the peaceful countryside of England, but when a heinous murderer named Jack the Ripper surfaces, Stefan fears darkness will always follow him.  Drawn into the investigation, Stefan assumes the worst: This is the work of a vampire.  And the more he learns, the more he becomes convinced that the killer is someone close to him- and that he can never outrun his past.
