Hogyan fejezzünk be egy szerelmi történetet


Helen Zhang azóta nem találkozott Grant Sheparddel, hogy tizenhárom évvel korábban egy tragikus baleset örökre összekötötte az életüket. Teljesül egy álma, amikor bekerül népszerű ifjúságiregény-sorozata tévés adaptációjának írói közé. Grant mindent megtett annak érdekében, hogy túllépjen a múltján. Tudja, hogy nem kellett volna elvállalnia a munkát Helen műsorában, csakhogy ez a lehetőség olyan ajtókat nyithat meg előtte, amiknek segítségével a saját projektjeit is kibontakoztathatja. Grant pontosan olyan, amilyennek Helen emlékszik rá: vicces, népszerű és szerethető. Helen is olyan, amilyennek Grant mindig is látta: zseniális, gyönyörű és zárkózott. Csakhogy a közös munka kaotikus és felvillanyozó, ráadásul Helen szülei azt sem tudják, hogy a férfi visszatért a lányuk életébe. Amikor titkokra derül fény, a párosnak el kell fogadnia, hogy a kapcsolatukból nem születhet szerelmi történet. De mégis… talán pont abban rejlik a kulcs, hogy megbékéljenek a múltjukkal, ha összekapaszkodnak a jelenben. Képesek lesznek vajon új befejezést írni a történetüknek?

Deadly Derailment at Honeychurch Hall


'Best one yet! . . . Just absolutely wonderful!' - Amazon reviewer, ? ----------Fifty years ago, the glorious Honeychurch Hall estate made headlines as the scene of a botched train heist that left two men dead and the whereabouts of a chest of diamonds unknown.

But the collection contains more surprises than Kat could've imagined, and soon it's full steam ahead on a very modern-day murder investigation. Meanwhile, Kat's mother Iris is wrapped up in the writing of her latest steamy novel; estate manager Delia is preoccupied by the upcoming grand opening of the Hall's Polar Tearoom; Kat's beau, local detective Mallory, is spending far too much time with his impressive ex, Chief Superintendent Stella Greenleigh; and there's a stuffed polar bear on the loose . . .

Transcription


'Smart and subtle... You'll read it, then want to read it again' - GQA writer returns to his college town, where he is to conduct what will be the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor. But after he drops his smartphone in the hotel sink, he arrives at Thomas's house with no recording device - a fact he is mysteriously unable to confess.

The Society of Unknowable Objects


Get ready to be spellbound by the new, fantastical novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of fantasy sensation The Book of Doors . . . 'A dazzling, globe-trotting thriller with a spectacular dash of magic. Like Michael Crichton at his finest, but with fantasy. Brilliant stuff!' SUNYI DEAN, bestselling author of The Book EatersThe world of unknowable objects - magical items that most people have no idea possess powers - has been quiet for decades . . . But three current members of a secret society have remained watchful, meeting every six months in the basement of a bookshop in London. They are pledged to protect their archive of magical items hidden away, safe from the outside world - and keep the world safe from them. But when Frank Simpson, the longest-standing member of the Society of Unknowable Objects, hears of a new artefact coming to light in Hong Kong, he sends the Society's newest member, author Magda Sparks, to investigate. Within hours of arriving in Hong Kong, Magda is facing death and danger, confronted by a professional killer who seems to know all about unknowable objects, specifically one that was stolen from him a decade before. Magda is forced to flee, using an artefact that not even the rest of the Society knows about. Returning to London, Magda learns hers is not the only secret being kept from the other two members. And that the most pernicious secret is about the nature of the Society’s mission. Her discoveries will lead her on a perilous journey, across the Atlantic to the deep south of the United States - not in pursuit of an unknowable object, but an unknowable person: the killer she first faced in Hong Kong. In doing so, Magda begins to understand that there are even more in the world who are chasing these magical items, and that her own family’s legacy is tied up in keeping all these secrets under wraps. Magic has always been too powerful to reveal to the world. But Magda will learn there might be something even more powerful: the truth. Praise for Gareth Brown's The Book of Doors:'Joyful, exuberant, and crackling with adventure. This book is as magical as those it celebrates.' STUART TURTON, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle'A stunning fever dream of a story that feels completely real – don't miss this fantastic thriller debut.' LEE CHILD'A real page-turner - incredibly ambitious and inventive, The Book of Doors is a great read.'ROSIE ANDREWS, author of The Leviathan

Its horrors attack every time the sky turns blood-red. The townsfolk’s only defence comes from the gruesome, ancient Saint of Fear, who demands the women and girls offer up their terror in return for its protection. Born without the ability to feel fear, Ilse is an outsider. As hard as she tries, she cannot bring forth the dread that the Saint of Fear demands. When it discovers her divergence, the Saint levels a threat: Ilse must find her fear, or it will devour her sister. Unable to lose Thea, the only person who understands her, Ilse enters the Hexenwald, hoping that the monsters it harbours will finally scare her. But the forest is hiding a multitude of secrets and Ilse is about to discover that there’s much more than fear to be found within...Inspired by Bavarian folklore, Season of Fear is a beautifully dark feminist fairytale for fans of Ava Reid and Hannah Whitten, which features a seductive lesbian romance and explores the power in being different and accepting yourself for who you are.

The Body Builders


Ada lives a solitary life. She spends her days swimming in her apartment building''s pool, occasionally visiting her cousin Francesca, meeting people for drinks, navigating the social mores of a cold and isolating London. Ada''s parents are recently divorced: her father spends his days at the gym, warm with human proximity. Her mother spends her days alone.When she meets a man named Atticus by the pool, Ada immediately senses an intimate connection between them: as if they share a life, in a way she can''t explain, maybe even a consciousness. Little by little, Ada''s estrangement from her familiar surroundings, memories and reality widens, as though she is seeing her reflection through a mirror, pieces of it falling away. She worries she may be losing her mind.After her mother entreats Ada to join her on a remote Greek holiday, Ada''s connection to her world and her body itself, falls away completely. She is jolted into a new, artificial environment - The Facility: a place apparently designed to meet her every wish, but where secrets hide along endless hallways and behind closed doors. When a person''s life, in the odd space between mind and body, is inherently one of isolation, are our connections with those around us merely projections of ourselves? And if not, where do they come from?With precision, subtlety, and confidence Albertine Clarke transforms touches of the sci-fi into an entirely singular experience of deep interiority. The Body Builders lands like a blow, widening a crack that allows us to perceive the world differently than we ever imagined.
