Ako zniesť zo sveta upíra
Napínavý triler z deväťdesiatych rokov, plný záhad a južanského šarmu, v ktorom sa realita prelína s nadprirodzenom.
Patricia Campbellová mala pred sebou sľubnú budúcnosť, no odkedy sa vzdala kariéry zdravotnej sestry a stala sa matkou, život sa jej nikdy nezdal fádnejší. Dni sú dlhé, deti sú nevďačné, manžel je odmeraný a zoznam povinností nekonečný. Jej jedinou oázou šťastia je čitateľský klub, ktorý tvoria ženy zdieľajúce rovnakú vášeň pre skutočné zločiny a napínavé romány. Na svojich stretnutiach pritom diskutujú skôr o federálnom obliehaní vo Waco, než o manželských krízach a materstve.
Jedného dňa sa do susedstva prisťahuje príťažlivý a umelecky nadaný James Harris, ktorý zaujme členky knižného klubu – a okúzli aj samotnú Patriciu. Prežíva pri ňom veci, ktoré už roky nezažila, no je na ňom čosi zvláštne. Keď začnú miznúť miestne deti a polícia je bezradná, Patricia nadobudne znepokojivé podozrenie. Pustí sa do vyšetrovania na vlastnú päsť, presvedčená, že ide o ďalšieho Jeffreyho Dahmera či Teda Bundyho. Lenže to, čo odhalí, je oveľa desivejšie. Čoskoro sa ukáže, že ona a jej priateľky z knižného klubu sú jedinou prekážkou medzi nič netušiacou komunitou, a monštrom, ktoré vpustili do svojich domovov.

Éldekorált kiadás
Aznap éjjel, amikor Kelet Hercege lerombolta a faluját, Raina Bloodgood élete örökre megváltozott. Valaki más háborújába és a Boszorkányszedő, Alexus Thibault karjaiba sodródott, majd rájött, hogy minden, amiben hitt, hamis, és hogy sokkal többre képes, mint bárki képzelte volna.
Kelet Hercege most bábuként használja a Fagykirályt a Nyárföld elleni háborújában, amivel veszélybe sodorja Alexus életét. Hogy megakadályozzák a herceg végső tervét és azt, hogy Tiressia birodalma visszatérjen az istenek korába, Raina, Alexus és egy csapat északi versenyt fut az idővel, hogy a rejtelmes sivatagba jussanak, ahol minden sarkon kegyetlen gyilkosok lesnek rájuk.
A tragédiák forgatagában Raina és Alexus azért küzdenek, hogy együtt életben maradjanak, miközben egy alattomos jelenés egészen Romvárosig, Nyárföld királynője fellegvárának ékköves kapujáig követi őket. A félelmetes események közepette Raina nem tudja kiűzni álmaiból azt a múltbéli borzalmat, amelyre nem lenne szabad emlékeznie.
A múlt, amely óhatatlanul utoléri őt – bármi áron.
Until We Drown
Hold your breath, the truth will surface… When Ellie Kellaway and her family seek a fresh start in the tranquil Peak District, she hopes to leave behind her haunting memories of the sea – and of Ethan’s affair with the younger, beautiful wild swimmer he met there. But Ellie’s new home harbours dark secrets, where ancient legends of mermaids intertwine with chilling realities. As eerie occurrences unfurl, Libby, the youngest, is drawn to a grotesque mermaid carving hidden in their house. Strange sightings of a mysterious woman outside only deepen Ellie's unease. And when their dog Jasper goes missing, the family's descent into darkness accelerates. As more ominous tales and truths rise to the surface, it becomes clear that the mermaid's curse might be real. Ellie’s family is fast becoming entangled in a web of betrayal and vengeance, which threatens to drown them all… This spine-tingling novel is a suspenseful twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s dark tale The Little Mermaid, where love, loss, and the lure of the water collide in a terrifying crescendo. Perfect for fans of The Last House on Needless Street and Stephen King.

I might smile like an angel, but underneath, my soul is far from clean.
Not even my weekly calls to the Sinners Anonymous hotline can change that.

Because Angelo is danger wrapped in desire - and when he looks at me, I can't tell if he wants to ruin me or save me.

Because the second her muddy boots stomped down the stairs of the club, my empire began to crack.

Femme Feral
EVER FELT READY TO HOWL?
Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year-old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter's not talking to her, husband's not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time . . . finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.
Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.
Suddenly the troubles in her life - hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work - seem almost . . . bite-size.
A deeply gratifying, highly addictive and provocative read, Femme Feral is an exhilarating expression of feminine rage, with a warning: If you swallow your anger, it's sure to come back with a bite.
The Hitch
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ PickA riotously sharp novel about self-righteousness, control, and the unexpected afterlife of a dogRose Cutler prides herself on her principles—veganism, feminism, eco-consciousness, and general moral superiority. She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone, comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships. But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Rose’s dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists it’s metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay sane—and the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.
