Vicious: Sladká nenávisť


Pre mňa nie je len spomienkou. Je jazvou na duši. Nočnou morou, ktorá má jeho hlas. Jeho dotyk. Jeho meno. Vicious je brilantný právnik. Dedič impéria. Muž, pred ktorým sa všetci uklonia. A zároveň netvor, ktorý ničí všetko, čo nemôže vlastniť. Spoznali sme sa ako tínedžeri v prepychovom sídle Spencerovcov v Todos Santos, kde moji rodičia pracovali. Už vtedy ma priťahoval ako oheň – oslnivý, hypnotický... a smrteľne nebezpečný. Potom som začula temný rozhovor, o ktorom sa nik nemal dozvedieť. A zaplatila som zaň vyhnanstvom. Preňho som bola vždy tabu. Chudobné dievča s veľkými snami. Bývalá priateľka jeho kamaráta. Slabosť, ktorú si nemohol dovoliť. Lenže desať rokov zmenilo pravidlá hry. Keď sa znovu stretneme v New Yorku, už nie je tým chlapcom, ktorého som poznala. Je mocnejší. Bezohľadnejší. A odhodlaný získať ma späť. Mala by som ho nenávidieť. Lenže medzi nenávisťou a vášňou je hranica tenšia než vzdialenosť medzi našimi roztúženými perami. A tentoraz Vicious nikam neodchádza. Musím sa rozhodnúť: utekám pred ním... alebo rovno do jeho náručia?

Podarí sa Olivii Brannonovej uspieť v nevšednom odvetví, ktoré bolo dosiaľ doménou mužov? Olivia Brannonová pracuje po otcovej smrti v starožitníctve svojho strýka. Keď dostane nečakanú ponuku od pani Miltonovej, vdovy po otcovom najvplyvnejšom klientovi, neváha a v nádeji na lepšiu budúcnosť prijme aj zvláštnu podmienku starej šľachtičnej: má sa zúčastniť na spoločenskom podujatí na panstve Cloverton Hall a predstierať, že je jej rodinná priateľka, zatiaľ čo nenápadne ocení jej zbierku. Lucas Avery zdedil po otcovi starožitníctvo, ktoré sa zo všetkých síl pokúša udržať nad vodou. Preto uvíta ponuku pána Wainbridgea, nového majiteľa Cloverton Hallu a synovca pani Miltonovej, aby v tajnosti ocenil rozsiahlu umeleckú zbierku zosnulého majiteľa panstva. Keď Olivia s Lucasom zistia, čo je za bránami Cloverton Hallu ich skutočnou úlohou, ich prekvapenie je obrovské. Ešte viac ich však prekvapí zistenie, že niektoré umelecké diela nie sú také, aké sa na pohľad zdajú. Zabudnú mladí starožitníci na svár medzi ich rodinami? A podarí sa im vylúštiť záhadu clovertonskej zbierky napriek nástrahám, ktoré im pripravia nielen intrigy na panstve, ale aj ich vlastné srdcia? Z anglického originálu The Cloverton Charade (Thomas Nelson, a registered trademark of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee 2024) preložila Marta Gergelyová.

Deep Cuts


It was the love story of the decade… Or it should have been. The first time Joe plays Percy one of his songs in his college room in 2000, she instantly realises three things: One, she is watching a star in the making. Two, she can shape his music into something extraordinary. Three, she will always be on the sidelines. She swallows her jealousy and throws herself into collaboration, transforming Joe’s songs into indie hits with her blistering critiques. But there’s an undercurrent to the music they’re making – something undeniably electric, hurtling towards love. And then, almost inevitably, towards heartbreak.

George Falls Through Time


GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME IS. . . "Incredibly entertaining and intelligent." —GARRARD CONLEY"Big-hearted and inspired." —STEVEN ROWLEY"Funny, surprising, profound." —GRANT GINDER"Unputdownable." —LUNA MCNAMARALess meets the year 1300 in this exhilarating and thoughtfully genre-defying literary novel about a man transported through time in a moment of extreme stress, whose modern anxieties are replaced by medieval brutalitiesNewly laid off George’s internet bill is in his ex-boyfriend’s name. He’s got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he’s walking in London have just escaped. It’s pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral, all the way to the year 1300. When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence—until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames. George Falls Through Time is as much an inward journey as an outward one: an immersive exploration of identity and dislocation that pits present-day sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop, a strangely perfect canvas for the absurd anxieties of our modern lives. It's a profound meditation on the nature of desire perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and The Ministry of Time.

The Renovation


Dilara s father is disappearing. He has dementia and the disease steals a little more of him each day. Dilara has persuaded him to move in with her, hiring builders to adapt her apartment in preparation, but when the renovation is complete she discovers a big problem. Instead of a new bathroom, the builders have installed a Turkish prison cell. At first she is outraged. There has surely been some mistake. Dilara s family are exiles they left Turkey many years ago and have never been back. The last thing she wants is a piece of her estranged homeland appearing uninvited in her new home. But as the weeks pass, her indignation gives way to curiosity. Beyond the cell door, she glimpses Turkish guards going about their work. Through the cell walls, she hears Turkish prisoners murmuring, rustling, crying out in their sleep. And in the strange, impossible air of the cell itself, she smells the sesame scent of freshly baked simit, she tastes the fine dust of the Anatolian steppe on her tongue. Even as she struggles to care for her father, to keep the family finances afloat and stop the wheels coming off her marriage, Dilara is drawn back again and again to the mysterious prison cell, and through it to a city that once belonged to her to the salt wind off the Marmara, the sky full of gulls and domes and minarets back to Istanbul.

Exit Strategy


Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. First - a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can't deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing. Second - a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help. Third - wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .

Álomhotel


Egy nő küzdelme a szabadságért – egy közeljövőben játszódó rémálomban Mi történik, ha már az álmainkat is megfigyelik? És ebből egy algoritmus képes előre jelezni, milyen bűncselekményt követünk majd el a jövőben. Amiért már most börtönbe zárnak… Sara Husseint egy külföldi konferenciáról hazatérve a Los Angeles-i repülőtéren letartóztatják, mivel az álmaiból nyert adatok alapján közvetlen fenyegetést jelent arra, akit a világon a legjobban szeret: a férjére. Sara hirtelen egy börtönben találja magát, ahol minden mozdulatát és gondolatát megfigyelik, kiértékelik, és ezek alapján döntenek arról, mikor szabadulhat. Már ha szabadulhat egyáltalán. Ám egyszer csak olyasmi történik az intézményben, aminek a hatására Sara válaszút elé kerül: továbbra is tartsa be a szabályokat, vagy lázadjon fel a rendszer ellen, amely megfosztotta a szabadságától és az álmaitól. Az Álomhotel egyszerre feszültséggel teli disztópia és mélyen emberi történet arról, kik vagyunk, és mit jelent valóban szabadnak lenni. Kísérteties vízió az emberi méltóságról egy olyan társadalomban, ahol a hatalom korlátozás nélkül használhatja fel a saját céljaira a technológiát. Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, Kazuo Ishiguro rajongóinak kötelező olvasmány.
