Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:

One Past Midnight
Jessica Shirvington
Publication date: July 22nd 2014
by Bloomsbury USA Childrens
Name of overseas edition of Between The Lives.
Above all else, though I try not to think about it, I know which life I prefer. And every night when I Cinderella myself from one life to the next a very small, but definite, piece of me dies. The hardest part is that nothing about my situation has ever changed. There is no loophole.
Until now, that is…
For as long as she can remember, Sabine has lived two lives. Every 24 hours she Shifts to her ′other′ life – a life where she is exactly the same, but absolutely everything else is different: different family, different friends, different social expectations. In one life she has a sister, in the other she does not. In one life she′s a straight-A student with the perfect boyfriend, in the other she′s considered a reckless delinquent. Nothing about her situation has ever changed, until the day when she discovers a glitch: the arm she breaks in one life is perfectly fine in the other.
With this new knowledge, Sabine begins a series of increasingly risky experiments which bring her dangerously close to the life she′s always wanted… But just what – and who – is she really risking?

Lisa @ Lost in Literature
I just received One Past Midnight this week. I’m infatuated with the cover. <33 So many beauties this week!! I just bought the Quarantine books 1&2 at a local book sale we had. The covers are so creepy! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Carmel @ Rabid Reads
I’ll take Poison Promise please! I received an ARC, but that won’t stop me from listening to it in audio. I just LOVE the narrator! Happy Saturday. 🙂
Kristin@Blood,Sweat and Books
I loved Between the Lives/One Past Midnight when I read it but I’m so glad I have the other cover version as the One Past Midnight redo does nothing for me. This week I’m probably most excited for Strange and Ever After as well as Four Houses.
Alex from Electrifying Reviews
Soooo many great books coming out this week! I can’t wait to check them out. Thanks for sharing!
Jess@Fairday's Blog
One Past Midnight sounds amazing. I love the premise of the book and am definitely intrigued! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Pili
I don’t have anything preordered this week but I’m considering getting One Past Midnight, The Fire Wish and Dissonance!
Katherine
Super excited to read Strange and Ever After to finish the series! I’ve been waiting for that one.
Karyne
I would love to know what resources you guys use to compile these lists! They’re so helpful, but I’d love to be able to look more by genre since I don’t read much contemporary YA. Fantasy and sci-fi are more my thing. Have any suggestions for ways I can keep up with the newest in those specific genres?
Jennifer Bielman
Poison was good but I find myself losing interest in the series. A little too repetitive.
Amy @ Book Loving Mom
The only one this week that really has me interested is Four Houses. It sounds really cool and I really like Victoria Scott’s writing. Welcome to the Dark House sounds cool too.
Preethi @ Time Turning Reads
I’m really excited to read ‘Dissonance’ since it’s been trending on book blogs everywhere! I haven’t seen a bad review yet so I’m super psyched for it. I hope it’s as good as everyone says it is.
Tressa @ Wishful Endings
Such a great list of books! There are several of these that I’m rather happy about. 🙂
Dea S.
There are so many YA books releasing this week. I can’t wait to have a copy of One Past Midnight in my hands!
Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts
To be humbly honest, I’m not sure. Lately I’ve been busy hiding in a cubby hole, lol. Homework and such. Fun? NOPE.
I did read The Fire Wish though…
Savannah
OMG! Endless by Kate Brian is out! AHHHH!
