Midnight Alley is the third book in the Morganville Vampires series, which follows the lives of sixteen-year- old Claire Danvers and her friends in Morganville, Texas. Morganville isn't just any college town, though; it's run by vampires. Luckily for her, Claire isn't just any sixteen- year-old genius; she's brave and resourceful enough to stay alive in Morganville, which can be tricky. Now, Claire has signed her loyalty (and basically her life) away to Amelie, the most powerful vamp in town. This so-called Protection, however, may not be as reassuring as it sounds.
Dragonhaven is a first-person narrative story of a teenage boy who lives at a dragon preserve. Most of human society doesn't think much of dragons, so they're no longer around in most of the world. In Dragonhaven, Jake rescues an orphaned baby dragon. He raises the dragon, and realises that dragons are much more than most of the world seems to think. The entire book is written in Jake's voice--the voice of a teenage boy.
Beyond Cool is the second book about Floe Ryan, a thawed "frozen zombie."

Also, people don't drive anymore--they hoverdrive (something Floe's having a bit of a problem with). Teachers and movie stars are computer-generated.
