Thorn Season – Tövisek nyara
ÉRINTS MEG!
Daradon királyságában félelmetes képességeik miatt mindig is vadásztak az Érintőkre, akik láthatatlan szellemkezük segítségével zárakat törhetnek fel, kiszámíthatatlanok, érintésük éppúgy lehet simogatás, mint halálos fenyegetés.
Alissa Paine egy vadászcsalád leszármazottja és örököse, csakhogy
Érintő is. Tisztában van vele, hogy a kivégzést mindössze fájdalmasan kemény önuralmának és szeretett apja erőfeszítéseinek köszönhetően kerülte el.
Amikor a lenyűgöző, ám kegyetlen királyi udvarban megkezdődik a báli szezon, Alissa intrikák és árulások szövevényes hálójában találja magát. Ráadásul két veszedelmes férfi is feltűnik mellette, az egyikük a mesebeli herceg álarca mögé rejtőző kíméletlen uralkodó, aki azonnal elpusztítaná Alissát, ha rájönne a lány titkára. A másik egy vonzó nagykövet, akinek megvannak a saját titkos tervei.
A palotában zajlik a Rózsafesztivál, és Alissának rá kell jönnie, hogy a túlélése érdekében neki kell a legszúrósabb töviseket növeszteni.

Valaki anyák napi üdvözlőlapokat küld neki. Pedig Grace soha nem volt anya.
Először csak egy érkezik. Aztán még egy. És még egy.

Ahogy a rejtély egyre sötétebbé válik, Grace rájön: életének korábbi eseményeit nem teheti meg nem történtté. Valaki figyeli. Valaki emlékezteti. Valaki azt akarja, hogy végre szembenézzen azzal, amit eltemetett.
És lehet, hogy ez a valaki közelebb van, mint gondolná.
Az Anyák napja lebilincselő pszichológiai thriller titkokról, bűntudatról és a múlt elhallgatott döntéseiről.
Crash
Strap in for the thriller of the summer from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Snap. In a hangar at Los Angeles International airport, a cargo plane tears itself apart. In South Africa, a passenger jet crashes into a popular tourist attraction.

He's already fighting to keep his job and, without hard evidence or official backup for an investigation, he’s forced to go it alone. But when shocking clues plunge him into a conspiracy that threatens millions, Tom must risk everything to stop planes - and passengers - falling out of the sky like bloody confetti.

To Have or To Hold
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITINGA BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025A thrilling exploration of nature’s symbiotic relationships by the award-winning author of Forget Me Not.What can nature teach us about living together? Investigating eight symbiotic relationships trying to survive the climate and biodiversity crises, Sophie Pavelle explains why it has never been more vital for us to understand symbiosis. Symbiotic relationships regulate ecosystems, strengthen resilience and bind pivotal connections, and nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque and as bizarre as they are engrossing.Symbiotic relationships don''t happen accidentally – these dynamics evolved – and species form and sever alliances everywhere, from deep within temperate rainforests to the open ocean, quiet tidal pools or chalk grasslands.In To Have or To Hold, Sophie low-carbon travels in the British Isles relishing the interconnectedness between species, celebrating the relationships underpinning natural environments and sharing some of nature’s frauds, fortune-tellers, misfits and cheaters.The natural world is built on parasitism, a cunning blend of bargaining and exploitation in the name of survival. In our relationship with the natural world, are we the parasites? Will we continue to exploit nature’s resources? Or will we vow to love and cherish what remains – shaping a more restorative life alongside nature – till death us do part?
