The Incredible Kindness of Paper
“A sweet confection of a story, filled with heart.” —Nikki Erlick, New York Times bestselling author Can one random act of kindness change the trajectory of a life? Serendipity has the power to fold two fates together and reunite a pair of lost loves in this enchanting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the “tug-at-your-heartstrings winner” (Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author) The Hundred Loves of Juliet. Can one random act of kindness change the trajectory of a life? In elementary school, Chloe Hanako Quinn is assigned Oliver Jones as her pen pal partner. Before sending her letter, she also whispers a note into it…and he hears her. Little does she know it would be the beginning of a friendship that would bloom into something more. That is, until disaster strikes, and Oliver and his family disappear without a trace. Now over twenty years later, Chloe is a high school guidance counselor in New York City. But life in the Big Apple is not what she dreamed it would be as she faces a layoff, rising rent, a situationship, and loneliness. Desperate for encouragement, she gives herself a pep talk via uplifting messages written on yellow origami paper that she folds into roses. When one of the roses unexpectedly finds its way to a neighbor in need of cheering up, a desire to spread kindness and optimism is sparked in Chloe, who begins folding more roses and leaving them around town. Across the city, Oliver has picked himself up from the rough circumstances that forced him to leave everything behind as a teenager—including Chloe. Now a successful financial analyst, Oliver’s past continues to haunt him. But when the city is suddenly inundated with yellow origami roses, a specific one finds its way into his hands and changes his life forever…

Art of Opposition
''What a triumph ... One of Britain''s most gifted and inspiring writers'' – Sarah Hall''Every artist needs to read this book, there''s something for the soul on every single page'' Derek OwusuBoth as a novelist and as a screenwriter, Courttia Newland has found himself, through circumstance or choice, in a place of opposition to the commercial mainstream. Now, he reflects on what it means to be an artist operating in the margins and shares his experiences and observations for those facing similar hurdles and choices.Newland covers key aspects of creating beyond the mainstream, including centring your own voice; which voices are allowed full freedom of artistic expression and which are not; the importance of reading outside of the white Western canon; and how success shapes the work of historically excluded creatives. Alongside his own observations and experiences, he explores the work of – and in some instances interviews – other oppositional artists, including Percival Everett, Lou Mensah, Iain Banks, Jean Binta Breeze and others. The result is a startling provocation, and a galvanising vindication of refusing to conform.

What happens when the dream of starting your own family turns into a nightmare?
Valentine and Raul have been touring in their indie-sleaze band SEZME since their college days, but as they enter their early forties priorities change. It's time to move out of Berlin and start settling down. Raul is ready to marry his partner, Banner, and Valentine wants to start a family with her on-and-off-again partner, Linh, but she isn't quite ready to let go of the band.
Determined to piece together the perfect life with the band and a family, Valetine begins planning, and when she inherits the crumbling Southern gothic hotel she grew up in from her late father, it feels like fate. Convincing Raul, Banner and Linh to join her in renovating the hotel, she begins to dream up a queer family life together after facing a homophobic upbringing. But as the four of them navigate their new life and welcome a daughter, August, their relationships start to sour. On the night of the hotel's grand opening, what's meant to be an evening of celebration turns into a nightmare as August goes missing.
Stylish, twisty and laced with dark humour, Four Terrible Parents is a story of power, love, responsibility and what happens when parents turn on each other. And then the world turns on them.

From booktok and bookstagram sensation Monty Jay comes a dark, twisted romance set in a world of secrets, vengeance, and monsters that don't hide in the shadows-they rule them.
Perfect for fans of Rina Kent and Penelope Douglas.
Hollow Heights University is a prestigious institution for the elite, nestled in the eerie seaside town of Ponderosa Springs. Beneath its polished surface lies a breeding ground for corruption, where secrets rot and danger lurks behind every corner.
She should have stayed invisible. One wrong move placed her directly in the path of the Hollow Boys-a group of ruthless, powerful men who thrive on control, fear, and destruction. They are the monsters people warn about… and the ones no one escapes.
What begins as a descent into their dangerous world soon becomes something far more complicated. Bound by vengeance, violence, and buried truths, lines blur between victim and accomplice, hatred and desire.
This isn't a story about heroes or happy endings. It's about choices that stain the soul, love that grows in the darkest places, and the kind of obsession that consumes everything in its path.
Some people run from their monsters.
She fell in love with hers.

The Truths We Burn - The Hollow Boys 2
From Monty Jay comes a dark and suspenseful romance where buried secrets resurface, deception runs deep, and revenge is closer than ever.
Ponderosa Springs has always been a town built on lies. Beneath its surface, long-hidden secrets begin to unravel, exposing betrayal, bloodshed, and the truth behind those once trusted the most.
As tensions rise and the past threatens to ignite in full view, the return of a familiar face changes everything.
Sage was once seen as the town's golden girl-but her sudden reappearance at Hollow Heights brings more questions than answers. Haunted by her sister's mysterious death, she claims to be searching for closure. But not everyone believes her intentions are as innocent as they seem.
Especially him.
He knows what she's capable of. He's seen through her before-and he refuses to be deceived again. While others fall under her spell, he remains determined to protect everything they've built, even if it means turning her into his enemy.
As manipulation, secrets, and vengeance collide, their dangerous game escalates into something far more personal. Because this time, control isn't so easily maintained-and not everyone will walk away unscathed.
In a town where nothing stays buried, and everyone has something to hide, one wrong move could set everything on fire.

The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances

Pomsta je krvavá 1
Lana Myersová prahne po odplate. Čakala a pripravovala sa na ňu desaťročie. Jej niekdajší trýznitelia si myslia, že je dávno mŕtva. Ibaže ona prežila, zmenila si identitu a pustila sa do premyslenej pomsty. Cestu jej skríži špičkový a charizmatický agent FBI Logan Bennett, vyšetrujúci, ako inak, sériové vraždy. Logan netuší, s kým má do činenia, a iskra, ktorá medzi ním a Lanou preskočí, je neodškriepiteľná. Ako sa ich vzájomné puto prehlbuje, v stávke je toho čoraz viac. Začína sa napínavá hra na mačku a myš. Lana sa pokúša zvládnuť novoobjavený cit i vieru v dobro. Zároveň nepoľavuje ani vo svojich plánoch pomsty.
Knižná séria Pomsta je krvavá postupne odkrýva Lanin aj Loganov príbeh. Čitateľov nenechá ani na chvíľu vydýchnuť. Ľahko sa pristihnú pri tom, že brutálnej, no sympatickej Lane – označovanej aj za akúsi ženskú verziu Dextera Morgana – napriek morálnym pochybnostiam držia palce, a príbehom sa dajú strhnúť. Dynamickosť znásobuje striedanie rozprávača po každej kapitole, takže raz vnímame udalosti z Laninho a potom zase z Loganovho pohľadu.
S.T. ABBY je jedným zo pseudonymov americkej spisovateľky Christie Owens. Práve pod týmto aliasom napísala svoju najznámejšiu knižnú sériu Pomsta je krvavá (v angličtine vyšla v roku 2016 pod názvom Mindf*ck Series). Owens zomrela v roku 2021, pričom mala len 37 rokov. Presné okolnosti jej úmrtia neboli zverejnené, čo časť jej fanúšikov dodnes podnecuje k rôznym oficiálne nepodloženým špekuláciám.
Mačkári
Pútavý príbeh o láske, rodine, ktorú si vyberáme sami, a sile vzájomného prepojenia
Núria je baristka, ktorá sa vedome rozhodla pre život bez partnera a odmieta nálepku „bláznivá mačacia pani“. Je členkou organizácieThe Meow-Yorkers v Brooklyne, v ktorej sa stará o túlavé mačky. Počas jednej z dobrovoľníckych obchôdzok po meste, presne tam, kde býva jej obľúbený túlavý Kocúr, nájde lepiaci lístoček od tajného obdivovateľa. Táto situácia sa opakuje. Kocúr je ako väčšina mačiek zvedavý a prefíkaný, takže presne vie, kto tam odkazy necháva. Núria to však netuší.
Je pisateľom lístočkov Collin, úspešný spisovateľ a samotár so slabosťou pre dobrú kávu? Alebo Lily, čerstvá absolventka strednej školy, ktorá pátra po svojej dávno stratenej nevlastnej sestre? Sú od Omara, obľúbeného miestneho poštára, ktorý práve prechádza predčasnou krízou stredného veku? Či od Bonga, majiteľa večierky, ktorý sa vyrovnáva so stratou blízkej osoby? Keď Kocúr náhle ochorie, týchto päť cudzích ľudí spojí túžba postarať sa o neho. Napokon zistia, že náhodné stretnutia môžu viesť k priateľstvám, po akých celý čas túžili.

Vysvědčení
Během šesti měsíců jsou zavražděny tři malé děti a čtvrté unikne smrti jen o vlásek. Zpočátku pachatel řádí na Ostravsku, posléze se přesouvá do Prahy. Všechny případy mají jedno společné – k vraždám či pokusům o ně dochází den před narozeninami obětí. Kdo za ohavnými skutky stojí a jaké pohnutky ho k nim vedou, intenzivně zjišťují zprvu ostravští kriminalisté pod vedením Ivoše Kiliána a později se k nim připojí i pražští kolegové s týmem Radima Brázdy. Jde o jejich druhý společný případ, poprvé se takto sešli při vyšetřování případu, který čtenáři znají z knihy Perfektní alibi. Při postupném odhalování nových a nových skutečností jsou okolnosti smrti malých dětí čím dál děsivější. Mordparty svádějí závod s časem a dělají všechno pro to, aby vraha dopadly dříve, než stačí znovu zaútočit.

Nevěsta z Dračího dvora
SMRT, NEBO MANŽELSTVÍ.
A POMSTA, KTERÁ JÍ MŮŽE ZLOMIT SRDCE…
Wren, princezna z Dračího dvora, se v životě drží tří neotřesitelných zásad: neukazuj slabost, odváděj tribut a nikdy nevěř elfům. Když je princeznina země v předvečer její svatby napadena, musí Wren bojovat. Místo očekávaného vítězství však padne do zajetí a je předvedena před elfího krále, který jí nabídne osudovou volbu: smrt, nebo manželství. Wren se podvolí, ale jen proto, aby získala čas. Plánuje, špehuje a čeká na příležitost zasadit ránu, která jí vrátí rodový trůn. Jenže čím déle setrvává po boku svého nebezpečného a znepokojivě přitažlivého manžela, tím víc se její jistoty začínají drolit. Na drsných Dračích ostrovech přežijí jen nejsilnější a Wren si nemůže dovolit zaváhat. Poslední volba bude krutá a neodvratná: zasadit úder jako první – nebo dát v sázku vlastní srdce.
