Witch Please
Just when I thought things were looking up, Fate had to kick me in the kidneys.The worst thing that could happen after getting close and personal with Death was being stuck with a womanizer as a babysitter. If River would?ve kept his pants up, none of us would be in this mess now.They told me power corrupted irrevocably, but I knew unlimited magic twisted a mind absolutely. Just look at my grandmother. Not even the shifters could fix this shit.Now, I must find an Archdemon on the loose and prevent a master vampire from gnawing on my neck. Let?s not forget dodging a murderous scorned lover-and I wasn?t even the one getting laid.Everyone trying to protect me thought I was about to go down. Hard.The nerve on some people.I had one thing to say to all of them. Especially to the woman that raised me.Witch, please.Grab your copy!
The Ending Writes Itself
''Secrets don''t stay secret for long in publishing''Six authors. One private island. Seventy-two hours to write the ending that will change their lives.‘This is a house of novelists, not murderers. You dream up crimes. You don’t commit them.’ ‘But a writer has. And so, who better than a writer to catch them?’World famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won’t write itself.Fletch’s publisher, Merriweather Press, has invited six authors to Fletch’s private island in Scotland. Authors whose books have never had the big marketing budgets or publicity opportunities. In other words, midlist. And they’re about to be presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.Whoever writes a worthy ending will receive one million dollars, and a further one million dollars for a new three-book contract.They have just seventy-two hours, with no access to the outside world, just a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write…Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder. *‘Agatha Christie''s And Then There Were None meets Yellowface… Great fun!’ Kate Mosse‘A great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry’ Karin Slaughter‘Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable… An absolute must read’ Ellery Lloyd‘Funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable’ Sarah Crossan

Like a Cat Loves a Bird
'This is a deeply stylish, astute and illuminating biography of a fascinating writer'FRANCESCA WADE, author of Square Haunting'Utterly charming. A book as elegant, sharp-witted and mischievous as its subject'CLARE POLLARD, author of Delphi'She was, if you believe what you read in the papers: a genius, a survivor, a bad mother, a fickle friend, a closeted lesbian, a tyrant, a loner, an eccentric, a recluse, a gossip, and an arch-manipulator. She would politely encourage you not to believe what you read in the papers.'Muriel Spark was one of literature's great shapeshifters. That mercurial quality is found in her strange, brilliant, cruel novels - with their plots featuring pensioners receiving telephone calls from Death, the devil going clubbing in Peckham and a fascist schoolmistress leading her coterie of girls astray - but it is also true of her as a person. As sly, nimble and elegant as Spark's own work, Like a Cat Loves a Bird is a thrilling new perspective on a remarkable life and career that spanned much of the twentieth century. From her childhood in Edinburgh to her final years in Tuscany - via South Africa, London, New York and Rome - it traces a light-footed journey around the world and through her strange and magnificent bibliography. It tells an irresistible story of transformation, wit and fierce determination and makes a passionate case for this vital modern artist. 'You don't have to be a Muriel Spark fan to enjoy the sharp wit of Like a Cat Loves a Bird, a fascinating and nuanced exploration of the sacrifices some make to focus on their art'LUKE TURNER, author of Out of the Woods'Vital, fun and immediate . . . full of engaging and astute literary analysis of Spark's work as well as scintillating, vivid biography'FRANCESCA REECE, author of Glass Houses'A readable and fascinating book, about an under-appreciated literary giantLUCINDA HAWKSLEY, author of The Mystery of Princess Louise

The Party to End All Parties
***** Readers LOVE TO HATE the Morlands! ***** “I now feel like I need a bath and a long lie down…” “If ever there was a warning not to do drugs, this novel is it” "What in the Saltburn did I just read?" “A master class in family dysfunction” “Oh my God what in the what?” "Gloriously deranged. And yes, the goat absolutely steals the show" The disgustingly rich and grossly dysfunctional Morland siblings are throwing one of their infamous parties, before it's decided which one of them will take over their ancestral family home. Despite their rivalry, Kassie, Caitlin, Paul and Steven are determined it's going to be a night to remember. But by the morning, one of their guests isn't just hungover: they're dead. The Morlands each have a motive, and they all have dubious morals. But which of them is actually a murderer? While all of them suspect the others, the siblings face a choice: call the police (but risk investigation into their other illegal dealings) or work together to hide the body in the wine cellar. They choose badly. Unfortunately, teamwork doesn't come naturally to this family. With Grandma on her way and the inheritance decision looming, old traumas re-surface and new threats start to claw their way out of the shadows… Who will survive until the afterparty? ***** More reader reactions! ***** “Family drama so toxic it should come with a biohazard label. […] Characters you love to hate: petty, venomous, and so self-absorbed they’d probably step over your body on the way to brunch”

Wild Fictions
'Brims with ideas and insights . . . Ghosh is at his sparkling best' IRISH TIMESWild Fictions brings together Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary writing on the subjects that have obsessed him over the last twenty-five years: literature and language; climate change and the environment; human lives, travel, and discoveries. The spaces that we inhabit, and the way in which we occupy them, is a constant thread throughout this striking and expansive collection. From the significance of the commodification of the clove, the diversity of the mangrove forests in West Bengal and the radical fluidity of multilingualism, Wild Fictions is a powerful refutation of imperial violence, a fascinating exploration of the fictions we weave to absorb history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy. With the combination of moral passion, intellectual curiosity and literary elegance that defines his writing, Amitav Ghosh makes us understand the world in new, and urgent, ways. Together, the pieces within Wild Fictions chart a course that allows us to heal our relationships and restore a delicate balance with the volatile landscapes to which we all belong. 'We owe a great debt to Ghosh's brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul' NAOMI KLEIN, author of This Changes Everything

A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone. But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles's super-rich. Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family's lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover, not the bored teenager she excepted, but pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the house. Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives. Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life. Meanwhile, the press runs wild with Evie's story - anointing her the new Charles Manson, a blood thirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war. Evie is - finally and disastrously - someone. Droll, dark and deeply insightful, Killer Potential is an edge-of-your-seat break-neck ride, a queer love story, and a darkly funny critique of the horrors of late capitalism and how the stories we're sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.
