First New Books of 2014~ Part 3

March: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Ayden, & Nate Powell
March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation.

 The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people. Piecing together the tiniest details, she can tell you who you are and what you want. But, it's not a skill that she's ever taken seriously. That is, until the FBI come knocking: they've begun a classified program that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie. What Cassie doesn't realize is that there's more at risk than a few unsolved homicides-especially when she's sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms close. 

 Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher
Zoe, a teenager in Bath, England, writes letters to a death-row inmate in Texas, hoping to find comfort in sharing her guilty secret over the death of a friend with someone who can never tell her family.

Through the Zombie Glass by Gena Showalter
After a strange new zombie attack, a terrible darkness blooms inside Alice urging her to do wicked things. She's never needed her team of zombie slayers more --including her boyfriend, Cole -- than she does now. But as Cole strangely withdraws and the zombies gain new strength, Ali knows one false step may doom them all.

 Blackout by Robison Wells
A mysterious virus is spreading through America, infecting teenagers with incredible powers--and a group of four teens are about to find their lives intertwined in a web of danger and catastrophic destruction.
