Come Back to the World
A single mother strives to understand the enigma of a reclusive novelist in a poignant novel about belonging, secret lives, and the want to disappear by New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde. Amelia Booker, a journalist and expert in American literature, receives a photograph leading to the possible whereabouts of E. L. Swann, an author who vanished forty years ago after the success of her first and only novel. It’s too intriguing a literary mystery for Amelia not to follow. In Santa Rosarita, Mexico, Amelia and her seven-year-old son, Jaden, meet the elderly and guarded Ella Steinbach, known to locals for riding her donkey to market, then retreating from the world again to her hilltop house. Prickly and defensive at first, Ella reluctantly concedes the truth about her identity. If not for Ella’s deep affection for the bright and introverted Jaden, she would have found the intrusion unforgivable. Instead, she grants an interview on the condition that Amelia tell no one where E. L. Swann has been found. As days turn into weeks, and Ella reveals more than expected about her past, she and Amelia form a difficult but surprising bond. From it comes the realization that the personal struggles we endure determine the necessary choices we make to move forward. But no matter how much Amelia tries to convince her otherwise, E. L. Swann really does wish to be left alone. And only by accepting the author as she is can Amelia maintain the life-changing connection.

Storm Breaker
ENDURE THE STORM. EARN YOUR PLACE. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety from the deadly electrical storms that ravage the world - but only if she plays her part.
Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she arrives at the prestigious Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided: pass the trials, join the Society, and secure her place among the elite. Fail, and she will be cast out beyond the city's protection.
But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don't fear her - they answer back.
Defying her father's expectations, Poet dreams of becoming a Storm Breaker, someone trained to face the very forces others fear. But ambition can be deadly in a world where power is tightly held, and rebellion comes at a cost.
When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she's been taught to believe. He threatens the life she's been promised.
And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.

Árnyak tava
Az apja a város népszerű nyomozója volt… Az anyja pedig a leghírhedtebb bűnözője… Most viszont Mirror Lake titkai lassan a felszínre bukkannak, és mindent megváltoztatnak.
Amikor Hazel Sharp váratlanul megörökli gyerekkori otthonát, kelletlenül ugyan, de visszatér a városba, azok közé az emberek közé, akiket majdnem egy évtizede maga mögött hagyott.
De nem csak Hazel tér vissza a múltból. A tó vízszintje a példátlan aszály miatt egyre csökken, és lassan visszaadja, amit hosszú éveken át elrejtett: elhallgatott történeteket, eltemetett nyomokat – és talán azt az egyetlen igazságot is, amely fényt deríthet Hazel anyjának nyomtalan eltűnésére.
Higgy nekem – Minden történetnek két oldala van
Minden történetnek két oldala van. A tiéd és az enyém. A miénk és az övék. A férfié és a nőé. És valaki mindig hazudik.
Anna Andrews végre elérte, amire vágyott: a BBC híradósaként sikeres, független és messze jár a múltjától. Élete mégis kártyavárként omlik össze, amikor tudósítania kell egy brutális gyilkosságról Blackdownban. Itt nőtt fel, és tizenhat évesen, egy máig kísértő rémálom elől menekült el. A sokk akkor válik teljessé, amikor megtudja, hogy az áldozat az egyik gyerekkori barátnője.
Jack Harper főfelügyelő Londont hátrahagyva próbált új életet kezdeni Blackdownban, de most a saját nyomozása középpontjában találja magát. Nem elég, hogy az ügyben a volt feleségével, Annával kell viaskodnia, Jack egy sötét titkot is őriz: az áldozat a szeretője volt, ráadásul ő látta utoljára élve a nőt.
Kisvártatva pedig újabb gyilkosság történik. Ahogy a holttestek száma növekedni kezd a ködös angol faluban, Anna és Jack macska-egér játékba kezd egymással és a gyilkossal is. Mindketten gyanúsítottak, mindketten nyomoznak, és mindketten bármire képesek, hogy a saját igazságukat védjék, kerüljön az bármibe.
Ebben a történetben csak egyvalami biztos: valaki hazudik. Vajon ki rántja le hamarabb a leplet a másikról?
Alice Feeney pszichothriller mesterműve több mint húsz nyelven jelent meg világszerte, vezette a sikerlistákat, és 2026-ban a Netflix népszerű sorozatot készített belőle Minden történetnek két oldala van címmel, Tessa Thompson és Jon Bernthal főszereplésével.

"You give a girl a taste of fresh air and then you take it away-she'll grow fierce and wild to get it back."

Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one.
Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she's been one of the 'unadoptable' girls at the town's orphanage, where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed.
When she meets Birdie, a young woman who has come to Oxford determined to remind her socialite sister of the impoverished family she left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg's future.
But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie begins to suspect her sister's charmed life may be founded on a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose.
Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women.
But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences …

But the commoners, the Bonded and the nobles are distrustful of their new queen and Meryn is caught in a deadly game of politics. Meanwhile, Meryn's beloved sister, Saela, is more at risk than ever.
Confusingly, the one person Meryn can trust is Stark Therion - the dark, dangerous Alpha she thought hated her as much as she loathed him. Yet, his loyalty is unshakeable. His presence intoxicating. And with his guidance, Meryn can seize an unthinkable level of power.
With enemies closing in and shadows stirring her dreams, Meryn stands to lose her kingdom - and her heart.
Blood will spill. Bonds will break. Fate will be tested.
