Wayfarers

When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The Wayfarer, a patched up ship that's seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past. But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptilian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants. Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful. But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.

One Of Us Is Lying

The story begins when the five major characters — Bronwyn, Simon, Nate (Nathaniel), Cooper, and Addy (Adelaide) — attend detention with teacher Mr. Avery after he found phones in each of their school bags, against the high school's no-phone policy. During their detention they hear the sounds of a collision coming from the school parking lot, and while the students investigate through the window, Mr. Avery leaves to see if he can help. Simon — creator of the 'About That' gossip app in which the personal lives of students at their fictional American high school, Bayview High, are posted for the rest of the school to see — begins a speech about the stereotypical personalities of the other four students and how he, through the medium of his app, is the omniscient narrator. He then drinks water from a plastic cup, announces that it tastes bad, then suffers a fatal allergic reaction.
