THE BELIEVING GAME
CORRIGAN, EIREANN
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
After Greer Cannon discovers that shoplifting can be a sport and sex can be a superpower, her parents pack her
up and send her off to McCracken Hill-a cloistered academy for troubled teens. At McCracken, Greer chafes
under the elaborate systems and self-help lingo of therapeutic education. Then Greer meets Addison Bradley. A
handsome, charismatic local, Addison seems almost as devoted to Greer as he is to the 12 steps. When he
introduces Greer to his mentor Joshua, she finds herself captivated by the older man's calm wisdom. Finally,
Greer feels understood. But Greer starts to question: Where has Joshua come from? What does he want in
return for his guidance? The more she digs, the more his lies are exposed. When Joshua's influence over
Addison edges them all closer to danger, Greer decides to confront them both. Suddenly, she finds herself on
the outside of Joshua's circle. And swiftly, she discovers it's not safe there.

COHN, RACHEL
Elysia is created in a laboratory, born as a sixteen-year-old girl, an empty vessel with no life experience to draw
from. She is a Beta, an experimental model of a teenage clone. She was replicated from another teenage girl,
who had to die in order for Elysia to exist. Elysia’s purpose is to serve the inhabitants of Demesne, an island
paradise for the wealthiest people on earth. Everything about Demesne is bioengineered for perfection. Even the
air induces a strange, euphoric high, which only the island’s workers—soulless clones like Elysia—are immune
to. At first, Elysia’s life is idyllic and pampered. But she soon sees that Demesne’s human residents, who should
want for nothing, yearn. But for what, exactly? She also comes to realize that beneath the island’s flawless
exterior, there is an undercurrent of discontent among Demesne’s worker clones. She knows she is soulless and
cannot feel and should not care—so why are overpowering sensations clouding Elysia’s mind? If anyone
discovers that Elysia isn’t the unfeeling clone she must pretend to be, she will suffer a fate too terrible to
imagine. When her one chance at happiness is ripped away with breathtaking cruelty, emotions she’s always
had but never understood are unleashed. As rage, terror, and desire threaten to overwhelm her, Elysia must find
the will to survive.
