Summary (from Goodreads):

"Find Me." These are the words written on Tessa Waye's diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa's just been found...dead.

Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target. Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick.

Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick's deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step?

Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.

But she's going to find this killer no matter what.

Because it just got personal.

Why I'm waiting for Find Me:

Okay, you need to understand something here. I want this book NOW. That is one awesome plot. It's a mystery thriller combined with some angst that makes it a fit in the YA contemporary genre as well. And Wick sounds such a kickass girl, one with an attitude and great hacking skills. What more can you ask for?

Title: The Brokenhearted by Amelia Kahaney

Summary (from Goodreads):

A teenage girl is transformed into a reluctant superhero and must balance her old life with the dark secret of who she has become.

Prima ballerina Anthem Fleet is closely guarded by her parents in their penthouse apartment. But when she meets the handsome Gavin at a party on the wrong side of town, she is immediately drawn into his dangerous world. Then, in a tragic accident, Anthem falls to her death. She awakes in an underground lab, with a bionic heart ticking in her chest. As she navigates her new life, she uncovers the sinister truth behind those she trusted the most, and the chilling secret of her family lineage…and her duty to uphold it.

The Dark Knight meets Cinder in this gripping and cinematic story of heartbreak and revenge. From Alloy Entertainment, this inventive new superhero story is sure to captivate any reader.

Why I'm waiting for The Brokenhearted:

It's rare that I find two books with great plots at the same time and this one just sounds as wonderful as my first pick. The Dark Knight meets Cinder? I'm sold, I need to get my hands on this now, too! I also see a bit of The Girl in the Steel Corset in this novel as well, and I think that's just awesome. The cover doesn't look like it's a YA novel at first, but upon reading the summary, it's a perfect visual for it. A bionic heart? I wonder how that'll work, and what is this conspiracy involving her family? I am so very curious now!
