The Goblin Emperor : Katherine Addison

Maia is a half-goblin in a land where elves are the ruling class, and his father only married his mother for a political alliance, and then cast her aside. Maia has been raised in a small household with no training or potential for much of a future... until the airship carrying his father and all of his half-brothers crashes, leaving Maia as the heir to the throne. Amid an already unbalanced court, with scheming politics and family members he has never met, Maia has to learn all the things an emperor should already know... including that no one can really be his friend.

Daughter of Smoke & Bone : Laini Taylor

Karou is an art student in Prague who keeps sketches of her everyday life. To her family at home, she shows sketches of students and street performers and other mundane things they find fascinating. To her friends at school, she shows pictures of the monsters at home (which they find fascinating, and although she tells everyone it's real, they understand, incorrectly, that her accompanying grin means she's just kidding). Karou was raised by Brimstone, a chimaera who collects teeth and dispenses wishes. Occasionally she goes on errands to retrieve teeth of various types, sometimes she helps sort the teeth, and she has no idea what the teeth are for because nobody tells her anything. And then one day the angels attack.
