In this gritty Taylor Jackson novel from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison, a homicide detective falls into a darker fairy tale when an infamous storybook killer seems to return. Lieutenant Taylor Jackson is no stranger to brutality, but her latest case shakes her to the core. The victims—with their pale skin, black hair, and ruby-red lips—recall a nightmare Nashville suffered decades ago. The Snow White Killer slaughtered ten princess look-alikes and was never caught. A copycat is methodically recreating the Snow White murders, studying the original crimes and perfecting the craft. As Taylor fights to identify him before he completes his twisted homage, the investigation pulls her into a conspiracy that hits closer to home than she ever imagined. Even with her own father missing and her wedding just days away, Taylor won’t stop until she has taken down this chilling protégé. But her pursuit of justice may destroy her own fairy-tale ending. Revised edition: The edition of 14 contains editorial revisions.
Rebel - A Renegátok 3.
Nincs olyan szabály a sportban, amit ne szegett volna meg. Nincs olyan nemi előítélet, amit ne küzdött volna le.
Ő Penna Carstairs. A Renegát, akit csak Rebelnek hívnak. Az extrém sportok fenegyereke, akit az év legszexibb női sportolójának választott az FMX-treme Magazin.
Ő az a nő, akivel egy vegasi bárban találkoztam. Akinek a kedvéért bevállaltam egy illegális bázisugrást. Akivel egyetlen őrült, felejthetetlen éjszakát töltöttem el.
De most bajban vagyok.
Igazából… nem is kicsiben.
Mert a nő, akit képtelen vagyok kiverni a fejemből, az egyetlen nő, akit soha többé nem érinthetek meg.
Dr. Cruz Delgado vagyok – a legfiatalabb professzor ezen az egyetemen. És Penelope Carstairs épp most sétált be az órámra.

Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in.
Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated-by twenty-two miles of ocean-from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven.
Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, Stilwell and his deputies watch a plane land in the middle of the night at the Airport in the Sky, a remote airstrip in the mountains. A duffel bag of drugs is dropped and the deputies move in, but things quickly go sideways.
While Stilwell chases the fleeing pickup man into the mountainside brush, shots are fired on the runway and the plane flies off.
An internal inquiry follows, putting Stilwell on the bench until he is cleared of responsibility for the disastrous operation. But he is determined to find out who brought deadly violence to his island, and begins his own secret investigation into the drug deal gone wrong.
While under orders to remain in the sheriff's substation, he finds in the lost and found a valuable backpack that was never claimed. He traces it to a woman who disappeared while hiking on the island four years ago.
But then why was the pack only turned in two months back? Now thoroughly intrigued, he follows the mystery all the way to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit and Detective Renee Ballard.
Stilwell and Ballard work the case from both sides of the channel, and soon realize they are on the trail of a criminal who revels in taunting the authorities. Meanwhile, frustrated at being shut out of an investigation on his own island, Stilwell risks his already shaky standing in the department to pursue a case whose reach is wider than he ever imagine.
The Never List - Never List 1
'You think I chose you because I wanted to?' He shakes his head, that laugh sliding like warm whiskey over my bare skin. 'I had to choose you. I needed to choose you. There was no stopping it. And the second the words came out of my mouth, I knew I'd damned us.'
Threatened by invaders, the kingdom of Lumathyst is on the verge of chaos, and no one can stop it. Unless the four immortal god-princes find their fated mate - and safeguard the throne - Lumathyst will fall.
Five women have tried. Five have failed. And tonight in the royal city, the princes need to find their Chosen and hope she can survive the transformation that will make her immortal.
Only Rylee Gray wasn't supposed to be here. She snuck in for her own dark reasons - and now they claim they've found their perfect match. Her. Of course, they have no idea she's concealing a secret big enough to damn them all.
The four princes have no choice. They'll use every delectably wicked skill they have to make Rylee fall for all of them . . . or watch their kingdom collapse.

Z Prahy do Jeruzaléma a zpět
Stát Izrael se v současnosti dostal do středu pozornosti celého světa. Je důležité porozumět jeho vnitřní členitosti a nevidět ho jako jednolité společenství. Tomu může napomoci kniha vzpomínek českého estetika Tomáše Kulky, pokrývající období od roku 1972 do roku 2000. Děj je rozdělen do sedmi částí, chronologicky mapujících klíčové historické události Izraele. Kulka přijíždí v roce 1972 do Izraele z Anglie, kam odešel z Československa v roce 1968. Kniha zachycuje války a politické zvraty – prožitek Jomkipurské války v roce 1973, kdy je Izrael nečekaně napaden Egyptem a Sýrií. Zvrat v roce 1977, kdy pravice vítězí ve volbách. Libanonskou válku v letech 1981-1982. Pozornost je věnována válce v Zálivu v roce 1991. Kniha se zabývá dynamikou izraelské společnosti, zejména rozdíly mezi Aškenázy a Sefardy. Zdůrazněn je rostoucí vliv náboženského fundamentalismu. Zobrazen je též izraelsko-palestinský konflikt a Jeruzalém. V závěru knihy je popsán krach mírových jednání v Camp Davidu a eskalace násilí v důsledku sporu o svrchovanost Jeruzaléma a Chrámové hory. Důležitou součástí knihy je popis traumatu z atentátu na Jicchaka Rabina v roce 1995. Vše je prokládáno zasvěceným rozborem místní kultury, náboženských pravidel a politických zvyklostí.

Második csillag jobbra
„Önt kedvelő táblácskáimat megpróbáltam visszavonni, sajnos nem jártam sikerrel, pedig egy úrinő semmilyen körülmények között nem tűnhet lelkesnek, csak és kizárólag ajakbiggyesztéssel nyugtázhatja egy úr igyekezetét, az ismerkedés elején legalábbis. Hogy ne legyenek indokolatlan elvárásai, elárulom, messze nem vagyok úrinő kategória, sőt.
Engem kedvelő táblácskáit hálásan köszönöm, nagyon jó vasárnap estét szerzett velük, kérem, vissza ne vonja őket. És mint láthatja, a reményt még nem adtam fel, itt vagyok. Egyébként az "úrinő" fogalom diagnosztikus értelemben teljesen bizonytalan kategória, én például a legutóbbi időkig azt a meghatározást vettem figyelembe, hogy úrinő nem fut, és ehhez képest "úriember nem tunkol.”
Hogyan találhatunk vissza önmagunkhoz, ha már túl régóta játsszuk a ránk osztott vagy épp magunkra kényszerített szerepeket?
Havas Juli új regényében bravúrosan szövi össze generációkon átívelő tablóvá egy online társkeresőn óvatosan ismerkedő, középkorú pár, egy drog- és alkoholproblémákkal küzdő fiatal ügyvéd és egy hivatása és anyasága között őrlődő neurobiológus történetét. Esendőségük ellenére – vagy éppen miatt – igazán szerethető figurái látszólag eltérő kihívások előtt állnak, ám a boldogulás érdekében mindegyiküknek szembe kell néznie a múltból magával hozott csomagjával.
A Második csillag jobbra őszinte, fájdalmasan ismerős, mégis reményteli történet hibázásról, függőségről, sorsmintákról és arról, hogy a gyógyulás és a megértés néha a legváratlanabb helyekről érkezik.
Liar's Kingdom
"The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple US democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system - one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look to other countries, including Brazil, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future - and for saving democracy. We are entitled to more from our governments, and Weissmann shows us how we can get it.

Dead Bees Still Sting
For readers of Raising Hare and How to Catch a Mole comes a poetic exploration of life at the precarious edge of nature and human settlement. “I loved every gorgeously-written and surprising page.”—Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus“Come for the bees, stay for these beautifully written observations.”—Booklist, STARRED reviewOn a small acreage teeming with wild and domestic animals, buzzing with a half-million honeybees, and dotted with fruit trees—including one affectionately named Bill—lives beekeeper-poet Susan Cormier. Circling the farm, an aggressive tangle of forest and blackberry vines thrives, but beyond, the shadow of urban development creeps ever closer. Over five seasons Cormier takes readers through the rhythms of semi-agricultural life, reflecting on the dichotomy between beauty and grief, loss and renewal, and humor and the often heart-wrenching realities of animal existence in an agrarian landscape. Susan’s acreage is filled with an ever-changing cast of animals, from the hand-raised quail Birb, who likes to play peekaboo, to companionable cats and dogs, Frodo the rescued rabbit, deer, elusive mink, and owls. Dead Bees Still Sting also offers a rich education in beekeeping, guiding readers through the complexities of hive life, the art of capturing swarms, and the serious challenges facing bees today. Lyrical and poignant, Dead Bees Still Sting is a moving meditation on the cycles of nature, vulnerability, persistence, and survival. Above all, it is a celebration of what it means to belong to a place, to witness its changes, and to find beauty and meaning in the ongoing conversation between humans and nature.
