There are new Young Adult Series Update Books at the Ellinwood Library. They are:

"Gone Series - Plague" by Michael Grant. The enemies and troubles in Perdido Beach continue to grow. Deadly things are stirring, mutating and finding their way free, and now a highly contagious, fatal illness is spreading at an alarming rate. What desperate choices will the small group of survivors need to make when it comes to saving themselves and those they love?

"The Curseworkers Series - White Cat and Red Glove," two titles by Holly Black. Cassel Sharp now understands that he is the most powerful curseworker around, and a touch of his hand can transform anything, or anyone, into something else. But deception surrounds him, as magic is manipulated by those who would destroy him. Where can he turn, and who can he trust.

"Wicked Lovely Series - Darkest Mercy," the final book in this series, brings the saga to a memorable conclusion. Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the Faery Courts, and in the final conflict some will win, and some will lose everything.

"The Mortal Instruments Series - City of Fallen Angels" by Cassandra Clare. The Mortal War is over, and Clary Fray is in New York, and excited to become a Shadowhunter and use her unique power. But everything comes at a price, and a series of mysterious murders leads to an escalation in tension, and potentially another mortal war.
