All the Pretty Girls
In a thrilling series from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison, a serial killer is targeting young women across the South, and each new kill comes with a grisly clue pointing to the next victim. When a young woman is found dead just outside of Nashville, strangled and handless, homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson is quick to the scene. So is FBI Special Agent John Baldwin, whose presence suggests that the murder is not the work of a random opportunist. A love poem left nearby alludes to something more sinister: This is the work of the “Southern Strangler,” a serial killer terrorizing women from Louisiana to Virginia. It’s the kind of case Jackson thrives on. At thirty-five, Metro Nashville’s youngest lieutenant is still an idealist, hell-bent on protecting the city she calls home. And she’s determined to avoid the broken, lonely path she’s seen other cops take. But while she and Baldwin share more than a working relationship, she’s not ready to go public. With victims across multiple states, Jackson and Baldwin race to find a pattern before the killer strikes again. But then a shocking connection between the Strangler and a local reporter brings them closer to the truth behind the killer’s identity—one that could unveil a family’s darkest secrets. Revised edition: This edition of All the Pretty Girls includes editorial revisions.

The Peloponnesian War
''The greatest historian that ever lived''Such was Macaulay''s verdict on Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. Thucydides himself was a participant in the war; to his history he brings an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals.Of his own work Thucydides wrote: ''I shall be content if [my history] is judged useful by those who will want to have a clear understanding of what happened - and, such is the human condition, will happen again ... It was composed as a permanent legacy, not a showpiece for a single hearing.'' So it has proved. Of the prose writers of Greece and Rome Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly translation with comprehensive supporting material. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Temné sily 1: Rana do srdca
Cameron Mortem má problém – nedokáže prestať zabíjať svojich partnerov. Napriek tomu, že je vyhlásený za klinicky šialeného, je zároveň aj najlepšou zbraňou v arzenáli Temných síl, utajenej vojenskej zložky vybudovanej na poslušnosti, mlčanlivosti a snahe prežiť. Po tom, čo ho experimentálny liek pripravil o rozum, Cameron sa stal rizikom aj pre svojich vlastných. Za trest ho pošlú na výcvikové skúšky, kde sa z nováčikov stávajú nemilosrdní vojaci. Cameronova hlavná úloha? Udržať svoju novú partnerku nažive.
Emery Mavesová unikla trestu smrti len o vlások, namiesto toho sa však ocitá na mieste rovnako bezcitnom, ako boli jej zločiny. Keď ju pridelia ku Cameronovi, musí prežiť nielen tvrdý výcvik, ale aj svojho nevyspytateľného partnera.
Čoskoro si však Emery uvedomí, že Cameron je viac než len psychicky labilný zabijak. Pod vrstvou šialenstva sa ukrýva nebezpečná príťažlivosť – a zvláštna, nečakaná jemnosť.
Ich puto je chaotické, opojné a zrodené z násilia. A pokiaľ ich najprv oboch nezničí, môže sa stať tým jediným, čo ich zachráni.
Ponorte sa do hriešne temného príbehu od autorky bestselleru Zabudni na mňa.
Vstup do Temných síl len na vlastné riziko.

Toxickí ľudia
Oceňovaná psychologička vo svojej knihe ponúka nový pohľad na
temné povahy. Prepája osobné príbehy s prelomovým výskumom
a odhaľuje alarmujúci fakt, že malá skupina ľudí s psychopatickými
tendenciami dokáže spôsobiť neúmerne veľké utrpenie a miliardové
ekonomické škody. Veda však našťastie ponúka riešenie. Doktorka
ten Brinke vás naučí toxických ľudí včas identifikovať a poskytne
vám nástroje, ako sa pred nimi brániť v súkromí, v práci aj v politike.
V knihe sa dozviete, aké veľké škody dokáže napáchať relatívne
malé percento populácie s psychopatickými črtami, ako naše telo
dokáže vnímať „temnú osobnosť“ skôr než racionálna myseľ, prečo
na toxické osobnosti nefungujú tradičné tresty, aké dôsledky má
to, že sa negativita a deštruktívne správanie dokážu šíriť ako vírusy,
čo je kľúčom k ochrane pred toxickými ľuďmi, ako sa zbaviť toxického
vplyvu alebo ako ho minimalizovať, ak sa mu nedá vyhnúť.
Morálna revolúcia
Renomovaný holandský historik a autor bestsellerov Ľudskosť a Utópia pre realistov Rutger Bregman sa vracia s naliehavou a provokatívnou analýzou súčasného sveta. Kniha Morálna revolúcia, vychádzajúca z prestížneho prednáškového cyklu The BBC Reith Lectures, je ostrou kritikou dnešných elít a zároveň vášnivým manifestom za návrat k integrite a odvahe.
Bregman nás vezme na cestu od pádu Rímskej ríše cez tichý rozklad Benátok až po nablýskané kancelárie Silicon Valley a elitné univerzity, aby ukázal, kde sme stratili morálny kompas. Morálna revolúcia však nie je len diagnózou úpadku. Je to praktický a inšpiratívny sprievodca pre každého, kto odmieta apatiu a verí, že najdôležitejšia transformácia našich čias nie je technologická, ale hlboko ľudská a etická.

chvíle života. Osho rozvracia naše zdedené presvedčenia a ponúka
cestu späť k sebe, návrat k jednoduchosti, prítomnosti a vnútornej
jasnosti. Každý text je tichou provokáciou a súcitným postrčením
k prebudeniu. Prihovára sa nám hlasom, ktorý sa neprihovára

sebou. Aby sme začali žiť.
Make You Mine – Légy az enyém (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy szexi tűzoltó.
Egy fiatal dadus.
A köztük izzó hő egy kisebb országot is porig égetne.
A férfi nem hisz az örökké tartó szerelemben. A nő pedig nem éri be kevesebbel.
Jace King egy rendkívül jóképű tűzoltó, egyedülálló apa… és az új főnököm.
Egyben ő a legszebb férfi, akit valaha láttam.
Ugye teljesen normális dolog titokban belezúgni abba, akinek dadusként dolgozol?
Ja, említettem, hogy tíz évvel idősebb nálam?
Hogy együtt dolgozik apámmal?
És hogy a család régi barátja?
Ha kinyitnád a szótárt a „tiltott” szónál, ott lenne egy 20 × 25-ös fotó az én szexi főnökömről.
De az biztos, hogy valami történik, valahányszor egy helyiségben vagyunk.
A vonzódás szinte letaglózó.
Jace ragaszkodik ahhoz, hogy ebből nem lehet semmi – én pedig mindig szabálykövető voltam…
De néha a szabályok azért vannak, hogy megszegjük őket, nem igaz?

The Knight and the Moth
From New York Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced on an impossible quest with the one devilishly handsome knight whose future is beyond her sight.
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
