New young adult books for November

Once, Imani swore to protect her home from the monsters roaming the desert. But now an even worse enemy threatens the Sahir, and as the Harrowlanders march south with their stolen magic, it is only a matter of time before the invasion begins. The only chance for survival is a dangerous alliance with Qayn, a djinni king. If Imani journeys with him on a quest beyond the sands to restore his lost powers, he will summon a supernatural army to save her people. Meanwhile, her rival, Taha, has been captured and is on a dangerous mission of his own. One wrong move could cost them their lives - and everyone they love. But they may find that there is more than meets the eye crossing the Serpent Sea - and betrayal cuts deeper than any dagger.

Thelma Foy, a jeweller with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn't expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. Tam can see through the glamours faeries wear to hide themselves from mortals, but if her secret were revealed, the fey would steal her eyes, her life, or her freedom. So, Tam doesn't respond when they trail thorn-crusted fingertips through her hair at the French Market or when the Dark King sings along with her in the bayou. But when the Dark King, Irial, rescues her, Tam must confront everything she thought she knew about faeries, men, and love. Too soon, New Orleans is filling with faeries who are looking for her, and Irial is the only one who can keep her safe. Unbeknownst to Tam, she is the prize in a centuries-old fight between Summer Court and Winter Court. To protect her, Irial must risk a war he can't win - or surrender the first mortal woman he's loved.

Grace and her dad have just moved to a tiny, sleepy Devon village, desperate to put tragic events from their old life in London behind them. But their fresh start is derailed when the second-hand Echo in their new house comes alive at midnight, and tells Grace: I'm going to murder you. Grace works out it's an old recorded message, and the Echo has previously been used by four people in their village - all of whom are now dead. And Grace's passion for science and statistics comes alive. She knows within these accidental deaths, there must lie a murder - and she's going to work it out, using the methodology of a chemistry experiment. Observation; hypothesis; experimentation; results. No one believes her - except for her best friend, Maddy, who's desperate for Grace to face up to an agonising truth.
