Scarlet
Goodreads says:
Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling
Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if
she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.
Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own.
As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.

Perfect Scoundrels
Goodreads say:
Katarina Bishop and
W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat
comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while
Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the
world. If their families have one thing in common, it's that they both
know how to stay under the radar while getting--or stealing--whatever
they want. No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but
in Hale's family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale
unexpectedly inherits his grandmother's billion dollar corporation, he
quickly learns that there's no place for Kat and their old heists in his
new role. But Kat won't let him go that easily, especially after she
gets tipped off that his grandmother's will might have been altered in
an elaborate con to steal the company's fortune. So instead of being the
heir--this time, Hale might be the mark. Forced to keep a level head as
she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an
ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare
attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but
first, she has to decide if she's willing to save her boyfriend's
company if it means losing the boy.
Etiquette & Espionage
Goodreads say:
It's one thing to learn
to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a
knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is the bane of her mother's existence. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper etiquette at tea--and god forbid anyone see her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. She enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But little do Sophronia or her mother know that this is a school where ingenious young girls learn to finish, all right--but it's a different kind of finishing. Mademoiselle Geraldine's certainly trains young ladies in the finer arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but also in the other kinds of finishing: the fine arts of death, diversion, deceit, espionage, and the modern weaponries. Sophronia and her friends are going to have a rousing first year at school.
First in a four book YA series set 25 years before the Parasol Protectorate but in the same universe.
