Sinners Atone
I was bleeding out and halfway to Hell when God sent me an angel.
He had no business sending her to a man like me.
She was sunshine wrapped in pink glitter - soft where I was jagged, and gentle enough to hurt.
Under the sick glow of a streetlamp, I was delirious enough to tell her she was beautiful.
And when she smiled and asked me to say it again, I almost believed I could be saved.
But then she asked me something else.
Something that stole the air from my lungs.
"Can you keep a secret?"
Turns out, even angels have sins. And this one should've left me to die before my world destroyed us both….

Bring the House Down
'Punchily provocative and often bitingly funny' THE TIMES, Book of the Month ‘Binge-worthy, real, really funny’ KILEY REID ‘Spiky, smart and so original’ CLAIRE DAVERLEY 'Entertaining and very timely… One of the most enjoyable novels I’ve read in a long time' GUARDIAN 'Unputdownable' DAILY MAIL A ONE WOMAN SHOW A ONE NIGHT STAND A ONE STAR REVIEW Theatre critic Alex Lyons made his name from his brutal, brilliant reviews. So when he sees Hayley Sinclair's dismal one-woman show at the Edinburgh Fringe, he thinks nothing of dashing off another of his trademark one-star pans for the newspaper. He also thinks nothing of taking her home after the performance, failing at any point to mention who he is. What he doesn't expect is for Hayley to revamp her show into a review of Alex's entire life, exposing what an awful person he really is. Worse, the show is a smash hit, and Alex is about to become national news. But can Hayley bring the establishment down without taking herself with it? Funny and thrilling, Bring the House Down gives you a front row seat to the downfall of the people who tell us what to think. It's about art, performance, female rage, and how while revenge may be sweet, it can also be perilous. 'An enticing debut. This is a binge-worthy novel that explores our obsessions, our inner critic, and who we think we are in person and in print. Intimate, real, and really funny. This one has teeth' KILEY REID 'Sharp, shrewd and witty… a stunning debut, one that I’m sure will be binge-read by many' INDEPENDENT, Book of the Month 'Dark, obsessive and razor-sharp, this is your next Baby Reindeer fix’ ELLE
Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.

A királyi ékszer
Amikor a tomboló vágy küzd a kötelességgel...
Wales, 1093
Nestának, Rhys herceg fiatal leányának meleg, kényelmes családi élete egy csapásra romba dől, amikor apját megölik, őt pedig fogságba ejtik. Becsülete újabb csorbát szenved, amikor akarata ellenére Vilmos király kíméletlen öccse, Henrik maga mellé veszi ágyasnak. Ráadásul Henrik
gyanús körülmények között trónra kerül...
Azonban Nesta életét igazából a házassága változtatja meg. Gerald FitzWalter, egy becsvágyó, fiatal lovag új királya iránti megingathatatlan hűségéért cserébe megkapja a lány kezét.
A lovag örömmel fogadja a jutalmat, hiszen távolról mindig is csodálta Nestát, akinek viszont az az egyetlen vigasza, hogy így visszatérhet hőn szeretett hazájába, Walesbe.
Ám ott nem tud ellenállni a walesi herceg jóképű, karizmatikus és veszélyes fia, Owain csábításának. Amikor a férfi felajánlja, hogy csatlakozzon a normann uralom megdöntésére irányuló tervéhez, Nestának választania kell a kötelesség és régi vágya között...

Unico: Lov (manga)
Na úteku naprieč priestorom a časom!
Unico sa ocitne v pochmúrnom továrenskom meste, kde sa spriatelí s Čiko, chorľavou a osamelou dievčinou. Veľmi skoro zistí, že továreň ovláda zlovestná sila, ktorá chce mať moc nad všetkým živým vrátane jeho novej kamarátky. Unico však v snahe zachrániť Čiko zabúda na oveľa väčšiu hrozbu: Venuša za ním vyslala legendárneho bojovníka.
Podarí sa Unicovi zachrániť Čiko? A kto zachráni Unica?
Manga Unico: Lov je už v poradí druhé pokračovanie dobrodružného komiksu, ktorý pôvodne vytvoril v 70. rokoch 20. storočia známy japonský animátor (mangaka) Osamu Tezuka. Teraz prináša kreatívny tím v zložení z uznávaného autora Samuela Sattina, umeleckého zoskupenia Gurihiru v spolupráci s japonskou spoločnosťou Tezuka Productions novú adaptáciu Unica. Komiks nie je koncipovaný ako klasická manga, no prispôsobil sa európskemu štandardu (pozn. japonská manga sa číta sprava doľava).

Has a deadline looming on a book that just won’t write itself.
Is exchanging school-gate daggers with her ex’s pregnant girlfriend.
It feels like she alone is holding up the sky.
So the last thing she needs is a stranger at the door.

Needing a place to stay.
With a million-dollar smile she doesn’t trust for a second.
Because this is Gene – the father she hasn’t seen in 16 years...

Sinners Anonymous
She's seeking redemption. He's determined to ruin her.
My name is Rory Carter, and I do bad things.
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.
Marrying the seventy-year-old head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father was the closest I've come to doing good.
And I was surviving - one lie, one smile, one silk dress at a time - until his nephew showed up uninvited.
Angelo "Vicious" Visconti. A beautiful monster with a sharper tongue than conscience. They say he went straight years ago, but I don't believe it.
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.
Sinners Condemned
No good ever comes from a redhead in a stolen dress with her whole life packed at her feet.
I should've known Penny Price was trouble the moment smoke and sin followed her into my bar and she challenged me to a game.
I thought the only thing she stole was my watch. Little did I know, she also started a war.
Because the second her muddy boots stomped down the stairs of the club, my empire began to crack.
My cashmere charm is fraying. My gentleman's mask is slipping. My enemies can smell the weakness. Penny Price thinks she's dragging me to hell.
But she doesn't realise - hell's exactly where I belong.
After all, it's wonderfully warm among the flames…

To convince her great-aunt to keep her around, Calisa sets to work fixing up the inn, enlisting extra help from the groundkeeper's (handsome) son. But the longer she stays, the surer she is that there's something strange about the B&B - and its residents.
Something almost . . . otherworldly.

Dead Straight Line
‘Razor sharp, fast moving, and impossible to put down... This is Malcolm Duffy at the top of his game.’ – Brian Conaghan, author of Treacle TownTwo unlikely worlds collide as prize-winning Malcolm Duffy explores the life-changing repercussions of a single action in a game gone wrong. Sixteen-year-old Rory is a rule-breaker, a risk taker, a maverick. As a kick he comes up with a game called Dead Straight Line. The idea is simple – wherever you happen to be, you’ve got to get home in a dead straight line. Across the back gardens of stranger’s houses, locked parks, trespassing on private property – whatever it takes. One day, Rory pressures his friend Eliot into playing, resulting in a serious accident. Shunned by friends and facing pressure from his furious parents, Rory becomes even more angry and disruptive. When his school suggests helping out a care home, he’s unimpressed. But paired up with Tanker, an eighty-year-old Geordie military veteran, who fought in the Falklands War, things slowly begin to change. From seeking thrills to finding friends, choosing the right path in life is never a dead straight line. But there is always a way. ** PRAISE FOR DEAD STRAIGHT LINE **‘[An] empathetic, powerful, important novel for young men, one that should not be missed.’ – Keith Gray, author of Ostrich Boy‘I'm a sucker for a funny narrator dealing with bleak stuff!
