The House at Watch Hill - The Watch Hill Trilogy 1
#1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning is back with a gripping, imaginative, and seductive new series in which a young woman moves to Divinity, Louisiana, to inherit a large fortune and a Gothic mansion full of mysteries and ominous secrets...
Zo Grey is reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a surprising call from an attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, with the news she has been left an inheritance by a distant relative, the terms of which he will only discuss in person. Destitute and alone, with nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers she is the sole beneficiary of a huge fortune and a monstrosity of a house that sits ominously at the peak of Watch Hill—but she must live in it, alone, for three years before the house, or the money, is hers.
Met with this irresistible opportunity to finally build a future for herself, Zo puts aside her misgivings about the foreboding Gothic mansion and the strange circumstances, and moves in, where she is quickly met by a red-eyed Stygian owl and an impossibly sexy Scottish groundskeeper.
A Magic Deep and Drowning
Holland, 1650. One fine spring day in Friesland, twenty-year-old Clara van Weiren is faced with an ill omen: a whale, beached and rotting in the noonday sun. But Clara doesn?t believe in magic and superstition, and this portent is quickly dismissed when a proposal from a wealthy merchant arrives, promising Clara the freedom she seeks from her mother?s overbearing rule. When her attempts at overseeing the household at the family?s estate lead to her chance encounter with a young man with russet hair and sparkling eyes the color of the sea, she finds herself strangely drawn to him. As Clara grows closer to Maurits, she must choose between the steady, gentle life she has been raised for and the man who makes her blood sing. But Maurits isn?t who he seems to be, and his secrets, once hidden beneath the waves, threaten to rise up and drown them both. And when an ancient bargain, forged in blood between the mythical people of the sea and the rulers of the land, begins to unravel, Clara finds herself at the heart of a deadly struggle for power.
Ne színlelj
Tíz év telt el a világsikerű Ne érints-sorozat lezárása, a Regeneráció bukása óta. Tíz éve, hogy a hírhedt páros - Juliette Ferrars és Aaron Warner Anderson - világméretű felkelést szított, és megalapította az Új Köztársaságot. Ám egy évtizednyi nyugtalanító csend után a Regeneráció készen áll egy pusztító lépésre, és megvan a tökéletes emberük a feladatra...
James Andersonnak volt egy terve. Vagy legalábbis egy fél terve. Csak az számít, hogy sikerült megtennie azt, amit bátyjának, a híres Aaron Warner Andersonnak soha: beszivárgott a Bárka-szigetre, a Regeneráció utolsó menedékébe. Az elmúlt évtizedben egyetlen kívülálló sem tört be az autoriter rezsim fellegvárába, de James odabent van. Egy börtöncellában ugyan, de ami Jamest illeti, ez akkor is győzelem.
Rosabelle Wolffnak volt egy terve. Mindig van terve. A Bárka-szigeten, ahol a biztonság illúzióját az állandó megfigyelés tartja fent, még az érzelmeket is óvatosan kell átélni, ugyanis minden mozdulatát szintetikus intelligencia figyeli - és amikor parancsot kap, képzett bérgyilkosként nem habozhat.
Tahereh Mafi Új Köztársaság-sorozatának első kötete akcióval és kínzó romantikával teli utazás egy disztópikus tájra, ahol még soha nem volt ilyen nehéz ellenségből szövetségessé, vagy akár annál is többé válni. Ráadásul, ahogy egyre többet tudunk meg a Regeneráció terveiről, egy nyugtalanító kérdés kezd kirajzolódni:
Vajon kik vagyunk, amikor senki sem figyel?
Kegyetlen szívvadász (Éldekorált kiadás)
A Kegyetlen Fortuna asszony folytatásában egy halhatatlan bérgyilkos Sanghajban, az 1930-as években küzd a hazájáért és a szerelméért.
1932, Sanghaj. A tél zordabbra fordul, a japán megszállás küszöbön áll.
Rosalinddel a legrosszabb történt, ami egy kémmel megeshet: lelepleződött. Az újságírók a lakása előtt táboroznak, hogy lencsevégre kapják a hírhedt Fortuna asszonyt. Eközben ő hetek óta jóformán ki se jön a hálószobából, tervezgeti a következő lépést: Oriont elfogták, kitörölték az emlékeiből Rosalindet.
A nőnek menekülnie kell Sanghajból, és ki kell szabadítania szerelmét. A feladatot nehezíti, hogy mindenki tisztában van a kilétével. Veszélyben a haza, az óra ketyeg: ha nem cselekszik, nemcsak Oriont veszíti el, hanem az egész országot.
Chloe Gong a Titkos Sanghaj-regények, illetve a Hús és hamis istenek-trilógia szerzője, könyvei több mint húsz országban jelentek meg. Huszonegy évesen a legfiatalabb szerző volt, akinek New York Times bestsellerlistára került a kemény kötésű könyve. Sanghajban született, Új-Zélandon nőtt fel, az USA-ban járt egyetemre. Jelenleg New Yorkban él.
Az utolsó vad hívás
Egy kegyetlen ügy. Az ilyen kegyetlen gyilkosság.
Titkos Sanghaj-sorozat
"Tényleg megcsináljuk? Meg merjük kockáztatni?"
Egy kegyetlen ügy. Roma és Juliette irányítják az illegális fegyverkereskedelmet Csoucsuangban, miközben anonimitásuk révén zavartalanul élhetnek csendes, békés világukban. De a környékbeli városokban egymás után holtan találnak több orosz fiatal nőt, ezért a páros nyomozni kezd.
És a megoldás közelebb van hozzájuk, mint valaha is sejtették volna.
"Most már tudod, mit éreztem, amikor először mondtam ki, hogy szeretlek."
Az ilyen kegyetlen gyilkosság. Roma megbízza Benediktet és Marshallt, hogy kerítsenek kézre és hozzanak Csoucsuangba egy rejtőzködő tudóst. Nem veszíthetnek időt. A Transzszibériai expressz menetideje egy teljes hét, és valaki gyilkosságot követ el a vonaton. Benedikt és Marshall meggyőzik a rangidős kalauzt, hogy ne állítsa meg a szerelvényt. Nyomozóknak adják ki magukat, és megígérik, hogy tisztázzák a rejtélyt. Csak ezután döbbennek rá: a bűntény és az eredeti küldetésük valójában összefügg.

The Cursed - Coven of Bones 2
DELUXE EDITION--a gorgeous paperback edition featuring deep violet sprayed edges!
From Harper L. Woods, comes The Cursed, the next chapter in her Coven of Bones series--a pulse-pounding romantasy where The Magicians meets Gothikana.
Betrayal.
He was the deception waiting in the night; the truth I never saw coming. After a lifetime of manipulation, I finally learned the truth. I was his puppet?even if I never saw my strings.
Even knowing how deep his betrayal runs, I can’t shake the undeniable connection between Gray and I?the way a single glance from him sets my soul on fire. We are not the same. We're enemies, poised to battle for the future of the very thing I’d wanted to destroy.
With the Covenant gone, the revenge I thought I wanted is no longer my priority. The witches that remain played no role in my aunt’s death, and the only person standing in the way of righting those wrongs is the very man determined to keep me in his bed.
But the remaining members of the Coven will never forgive me for the role I played in their demise and subjugation, and the worst part of all is that I can’t even blame them for it. I’d been naive, believing my own delusions of grandeur when destiny clearly had other plans for me. Plans that had been set in motion centuries before my birth.
But even that had been a lie, and now it is my duty to do everything in my power to undo it.
To protect my Coven from my husband’s hatred?no matter what the cost.
The Bone Raiders
'AWESOME. MASTERFULLY EXECUTED. FREQUENTLY HILARIOUS' Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the WyldThe start of an edge-of-your-seat, action-packed epic fantasy series from the irreverent Jackson Ford, where a wild band known as the Bone Raiders harness the power of gigantic, fire-breathing lizards to defend their homeland. Reader reviews:'I had such a blast reading this' ?'I was on the edge of my seat this was magnificent' ?'I couldn't put this down from the first few pages...This book is a must read for your fall TBR, do not miss!' ?WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE . . . BUT OUR GIANT FIRE-BREATHING LIZARDS DID. You don't f*ck with the Rakada.

And then there are the huge fire-breathing lizards that are straying into the grasslands a little too often these days. Sayana is a raider scout. She knows that to protect their way of life, she needs do something drastic. Like convincing her clan to ride those huge lizards, instead of horses. Sayana doesn't know how to do it without being eaten and/or cooked alive, but she'd better figure it out fast - or she and her clan, along with every other raider in the Tapestry, will be wiped out. 'A ton of fun. The premise is awesome, the found-family dynamic is masterfully executed, the dialogue is wicked-sharp and frequently hilarious' Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld'Ford begins this new series with quirky characters, loads of great action sequences, and his trademark brand of humour' Booklist'The Bone Raiders is a relentlessly cheeky, ofttimes unserious, and undisputedly rip-roaring bit of fantasy that can only be written by Jackson Ford.

'Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.'
'In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water.'
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember.
But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.
When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently re-opens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares... but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him . . . or her.
Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details . . .
