The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and--despite her prosthetic leg--helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.

Virginia established vast spy networks throughout France, called weapons and explosives down from the skies, and became a linchpin for the Resistance. Even as her face covered wanted posters and a bounty was placed on her head, Virginia refused order after order to evacuate. She finally escaped through a death-defying hike over the Pyrenees into Spain, her cover blown. But she plunged back in, adamant that she had more lives to save, and led a victorious guerilla campaign, liberating swathes of France from the Nazis after D-Day.

Based on new and extensive research, Sonia Purnell has for the first time uncovered the full secret life of Virginia Hall--an astounding and inspiring story of heroism, spycraft, resistance, and personal triumph over shocking adversity.]]> 462 Sonia Purnell 0349010153 Laura 0 to-read 4.40 2019

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.

In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

This Norton Critical Edition includes a rich selection of background and source materials in three areas: Contexts includes probable inspirations for Dracula in the earlier works of James Malcolm Rymer and Emily Gerard. Also included are a discussion of Stoker's working notes for the novel and "Dracula's Guest," the original opening chapter to Dracula. Reviews and Reactions reprints five early reviews of the novel. "Dramatic and Film Variations" focuses on theater and film adaptations of Dracula, two indications of the novel's unwavering appeal. David J. Skal, Gregory A. Waller, and Nina Auerbach offer their varied perspectives. Checklists of both dramatic and film adaptations are included.

Criticism collects seven theoretical interpretations of Dracula by Phyllis A. Roth, Carol A. Senf, Franco Moretti, Christopher Craft, Bram Dijkstra, Stephen D. Arata, and Talia Schaffer.

A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are included.]]> 488 Bram Stoker 0393970124 Laura 0 currently-reading 4.02 1897

Did you know her?
Did you see it on the internet?
Did you listen to a podcast?
Did the hosts make jokes?

Did you see the pictures of the body?

Did you look for them?

It's been nearly a decade since the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson rocked Crow-on-Sea, and the events of that terrible night are now being published for the first time.

That story is Penance, a dizzying feat of masterful storytelling, where Eliza Clark manoeuvres us through accounts from the inhabitants of this small seaside town. Placing us in the capable hands of journalist Alec Z. Carelli, Clark allows him to construct what he claims is the 'definitive account' of the murder - and what led up to it. Built on hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, painstaking historical research, and most notably, correspondence with the killers themselves, the result is a riveting snapshot of lives rocked by tragedy, and a town left in turmoil.

The only question is: how much of it is true?]]> 336 Eliza Clark 0571371795 Laura 0 to-read 3.87 2023

]]> 58756420 From the New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop and Red, White & Royal Blue comes a debut YA romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need...

Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she鈥檚 spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and a puritanical administration at Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that鈥檚 kept her going: winning valedictorian. Her only rival: prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal鈥檚 perfect progeny.

But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes.

On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she鈥檚 not the only one Shara kissed. There鈥檚 also Smith, Shara鈥檚 longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara鈥檚 bad boy neighbor with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara鈥檚 trail of clues and find her. It鈥檒l be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair-and-square.

Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought. And maybe鈥攑robably not, but maybe鈥攎ore to Shara, too.

Fierce, funny, and frank, Casey McQuiston's I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about breaking the rules, getting messy, and finding love in unexpected places.]]> 356 Casey McQuiston 1250244455 Laura 5 best Cudowna historia i bohaterowie, dos艂ownie nie mog艂am jej od艂o偶y膰

This edition contains the original introduction by Theodore Sturgeon and the original foreword by Harlan Ellison, along with a brief update comment by Ellison that was added in the 1983 edition. Among Ellison's more famous stories, two consistently noted as among his very best ever are the title story and the volume's concluding one, Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes.

Since Ellison himself strongly resists categorization of his work, we won't call them science fiction, or SF, or speculative fiction or horror or anything else except compelling reading experiences that are sui generis. They could only have been written by Harlan Ellison and they are incomparably original.

Leah pracuje jako biolo偶ka morska i w艂a艣nie wr贸ci艂a z supertajnej misji, kt贸ra zako艅czy艂a si臋 katastrof膮. Cokolwiek wydarzy艂o si臋 podczas ekspedycji, Leah nie chce o tym m贸wi膰, a jednocze艣nie z dnia na dzie艅 jej cia艂o zmienia si臋 w spos贸b, za kt贸rym umys艂 nie nad膮偶a. Po sze艣ciu miesi膮cach sp臋dzonych na dnie oceanu jest zupe艂nie inn膮 osob膮, co szybko zauwa偶a jej 偶ona 鈥� Miri. Czy Leah zabra艂a cz臋艣膰 podwodnego 艣wiata na powierzchni臋, zak艂贸caj膮c tym samym panuj膮cy tam status quo?

Miri wie, 偶e wsp贸lne 偶ycie z Leah bezpowrotnie min臋艂o. I cho膰 ukochana wci膮偶 jest fizycznie obok niej, to czuje, 偶e wymyka si臋 z jej obj臋膰, bo kto艣 lub co艣 si臋 o ni膮 upomina...

]]> 52712625 W swojej nowej powie艣ci 鈥� po bestsellerowej, uhonorowanej Nagrod膮 Pulitzera i National Book Award Kolei podziemnej 鈥� Colson Whitehead z w艂a艣ciwym sobie geniuszem podejmuje kolejny dramatyczny w膮tek z historii Ameryki.

Tym razem akcja rozgrywa si臋 na Florydzie w latach 60. XX wieku, a fabu艂a koncentruje si臋 na losach dw贸ch ch艂opc贸w skazanych na pobyt w poprawczaku.

Gdy idee ruchu na rzecz praw obywatelskich docieraj膮 wreszcie do Frenchtown, czarnej dzielnicy Tallahassee, Elwood Curtis postanawia wzi膮膰 sobie do serca s艂owa dr. Martina Luthera Kinga i nabiera przekonania, 偶e jest "r贸wnie dobry jak ka偶dy inny". Cho膰 rodzice go porzucili, jego babcia dba, by trzyma艂 si臋 z dala od k艂opot贸w, Elwood jest wi臋c na dobrej drodze do dostania si臋 do lokalnego college'u dla kolorowych. Ale kiedy jest si臋 czarnym ch艂opcem 偶yj膮cym we wczesnych latach 60. XX wieku na ameryka艅skim Po艂udniu, gdzie stosunki spo艂eczne wci膮偶 reguluj膮 prawa Jima Crowa, niewinny b艂膮d mo偶e przekre艣li膰 nadzieje na 艣wietlan膮, a nawet jak膮kolwiek, przysz艂o艣膰.

Elwood zostaje skazany na pobyt w poprawczaku nazywanym "Miedziakiem" (The Nickel Academy), kt贸rego misj膮 jest "fizyczne, intelektualne i moralne" kszta艂towanie m艂odocianych przest臋pc贸w, tak 偶eby pod jego piecz膮 wyro艣li na "uczciwe i honorowe" jednostki. W rzeczywisto艣ci Akademia okazuje si臋 groteskow膮 komnat膮 grozy, gdzie sadystyczna kadra bije i wykorzystuje seksualnie uczni贸w, korupcja i kradzie偶e s膮 powszechne, a ka偶dy ch艂opiec, kt贸ry odwa偶y si臋 na op贸r, przepadnie bez wie艣ci.

Ten zak艂ad poprawczy na Florydzie istnia艂 naprawd臋 鈥� przez sto jedena艣cie lat przewin臋艂y si臋 przez niego tysi膮ce podopiecznych, kt贸rych bezlito艣nie katowano, poni偶ono i 艂amano.

Druzgoc膮ca, pora偶aj膮ca i niezwykle ambitna powie艣膰, kt贸ra dowodzi, 偶e Colson Whitehead jest pisarzem w szczytowej formie.

Prawa Jima Crowa: regulacje prawne wprowadzone po zako艅czeniu wojny secesyjnej na szczeblu stanowym i lokalnym g艂贸wnie w po艂udniowych stanach USA, maj膮ce na celu utrzymanie i pog艂臋bienie segregacji rasowej. Na Florydzie zasada g艂osz膮ca, 偶e czarni i biali nie mog膮 uczy膰 si臋 razem, by艂a wyj膮tkowo restrykcyjnie przestrzegana. Stwarza艂o to pole do niewyobra偶alnych wr臋cz nadu偶y膰.]]> 288 Colson Whitehead 8381256143 Laura 0 DNF 60%<br /> 4.05 2019

A year later, they鈥檙e both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years in college, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. Then, as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch -- and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.]]> 386 Jennifer Lynn Barnes 1368052401 Laura 0 currently-reading 4.13 2020

Porywaj膮ce obsesje, niszcz膮ce nami臋tno艣ci i groza przemijania.

Uciekaj膮ca przed Armi膮 Czerwon膮 Niemka przeklina Jana 艁abendowicza, kt贸ry odm贸wi艂 jej pomocy. Wkr贸tce jego 偶ona rodzi odmie艅ca 鈥� ch艂opca o sk贸rze bia艂ej jak 艣nieg.

Na losy Geld贸w i 艁abendowicz贸w wp艂ywaj膮 nie tylko kolejne dziejowe zawirowania i przepowiednie, lecz przede wszystkim osobiste s艂abo艣ci i obsesje. Drogi obu rodzin przecinaj膮 si臋 w zaskakuj膮cy i niespodziewany spos贸b. Na dobre zespaja je uczucie dwojga odmie艅c贸w, introwertycznego albinosa i okaleczonej w p艂omieniach dziewczyny.

Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.

Summoned to Evelyn鈥檚 luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the 鈥�80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn鈥檚 story nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique鈥檚 own in tragic and irreversible ways.]]> 389 Taylor Jenkins Reid 1501139231 Laura 5 best

Pora偶aj膮cy los ludzi, kt贸rzy po艣wi臋caj膮 swoje 偶ycie, by inni mogli swoje wie艣膰 w luksusie. Biedni, brudni, um臋czeni i kompletnie niewidzialni dla bogatych mieszka艅c贸w i turyst贸w odwiedzaj膮cych Dubaj.

Trac膮 zdrowie, a cz臋sto 偶ycie, sk艂adaj膮c je na o艂tarzu pychy, jak膮 napawa w艂adc贸w budowana przez nich metropolia.

The Insight for a New Way of Living series aims to shine light on beliefs and attitudes that prevent individuals from being their true selves. The text is an artful mix of compassion and humor, and readers are encouraged to confront what they would most like to avoid, which in turns provides the key to true insight and power.

Joy is a wondrous investigation into the source and importance of joyfulness in our lives.]]> 174 Osho 0312320744 Laura 0 DNF<br /> 4.24 2004

Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back.

The Ego is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures like Howard Hughes, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, all of whom reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.

But why should we bother fighting ego in an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion?聽 Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, 鈥測ou will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you鈥檝e set out to achieve.鈥漖]> 226 Ryan Holiday 1591847818 Laura 2 Przez wi臋kszo艣膰 czasu wr臋cz zmusza艂am si臋 do doko艅czenia tej pozycji, aczkwiek musz臋 przyzna膰 偶e ko艅c贸wka uratowa艂a.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

Of course, some things are better left dead.]]> 448 Tamsyn Muir 1250313198 Laura 4 Czy by艂o wybitne?- No niekoniecznie, mma par臋 zastrze偶e艅 m.in. do samej ko艅c贸wki

]]> 538845 This glorious saga unfolds against the backdrop of ancient Rome--from the Forum to the Coliseum, from banquet halls to summer retreats in Naples, from the luxurious houses of the nobility to the hovels of the poor, Quo Vadis richly depicts a place and time still captivating to the modern imagination. This radiant translation by W.S. Kuniczak restores the original glory and richness of master storyteller Henryk Sienkiewicz's epic tale.

Set at a turning point in history (A.D. 54-68), as Christianity replaces the era of corruption and immorality that marked Nero's Rome, Quo Vadis abounds with compelling characters, including:


Vinicius, the proud centurion who has fallen deeply in love with a mysterious young woman who disappears the night they meet;Ligia, the elusive beauty. Vinicius will not easily win her love, for she is a Christian, one of the group of dedicated believers led by the apostle Peter. Christians are rare in pagan, hedonistic Rome, and suffer great persecution;

Petronius, uncle to Vinicius, an elegant, witty courtier who scoffs at love and religion but finds his nephew's passion charming; and

Nero himself, enemy of all Christians, a despotic emperor who plunges Rome deeper and deeper into depravity. The decadence of his banquets is staggering; and even worse, his mad laughter is heard echoing in the amphitheater as gladiators duel to the death.

As Nero's appalling plans for the Christians become ever clearer, time appears to be running out for the young lovers. Vinicius must come to understand the true meaning of Ligia's religion before it is too late.

Grand in scope and ambition, Quo Vadis explores the themes of love, desire and profound moral courage. Lavish descriptions, vivid dialogue and brilliantly drawn characters make this one of the world's greatest epics. Beloved by children and adults the world over, Quo Vadis has been the subject of five films, two of them in English.]]> 589 Henryk Sienkiewicz 0781805503 Laura 4 Petroniusz best man 3.99 1896

2000. Bright, ambitious, and yearning for adulthood, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes entangled in an affair with Jacob Strane, her magnetic and guileful forty-two-year-old English teacher.

2017. Amid the rising wave of allegations against powerful men, a reckoning is coming due. Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life? Is it possible that the man she loved as a teenager鈥攁nd who professed to worship only her鈥攎ay be far different from what she has always believed?

Alternating between Vanessa鈥檚 present and her past, My Dark Vanessa juxtaposes memory and trauma with the breathless excitement of a teenage girl discovering the power her own body can wield. Thought-provoking and impossible to put down, this is a masterful portrayal of troubled adolescence and its repercussions that raises vital questions about agency, consent, complicity, and victimhood. Written with the haunting intimacy of The Girls and the creeping intensity of Room, My Dark Vanessa is an era-defining novel that brilliantly captures and reflects the shifting cultural mores transforming our relationships and society itself.]]> 373 Kate Elizabeth Russell 006294150X Laura 5 best 4.09 2020

A to dopiero wierzcho艂ek g贸ry tajemnic, kt贸re czekaj膮 na Magd臋 tego lata.]]> 304 Aneta Jadowska 8381290899 Laura 2 2.5<br />Meh 3.64 2018

A young woman is drawn into the upper echelons of a society where blood is power, in this dark and enthralling gothic novel from the author of The Year of the Witching.

Marion Shaw has been raised in the slums, where want and deprivation is all she knows. Despite longing to leave the city and its miseries, she has no real hope of escape until the day she spots a peculiar listing in the newspaper, seeking a bloodmaid.

Though she knows little about the far north--where wealthy nobles live in luxury and drink the blood of those in their service--Marion applies to the position. In a matter of days, she finds herself the newest bloodmaid at the notorious House of Hunger. There, Marion is swept into a world of dark debauchery--and at the center of it all is her.

Countess Lisavet, who presides over this hedonistic court, is loved and feared in equal measure. She takes a special interest in Marion. Lisavet is magnetic, and Marion is eager to please her new mistress. But when her fellow bloodmaids begin to go missing in the night, Marion is thrust into a vicious game of cat and mouse. She'll need to learn the rules of her new home--and fast--or its halls will soon become her grave.]]> 304 Alexis Henderson 0593438469 Laura 4 3.64 2022

Now, following a case of school bullying, the teens have moved away with their single mother to a long-abandoned family home near the shore. In their new, isolated life, July finds that the deep bond she has always shared with September is shifting in ways she cannot entirely understand. A creeping sense of dread and unease descends inside the house. Meanwhile, outside, the sisters push boundaries of behavior鈥攗ntil a series of shocking encounters tests the limits of their shared experience, and forces shocking revelations about the girls鈥� past and future.

Sisters is a one-two punch of wild fury and heartache鈥攁 taut, powerful, and deeply moving account of sibling love and what happens when two sisters must face each other鈥檚 darkest impulses.]]> 210 Daisy Johnson 0593188950 Laura 4 Oh wow... TA KO艃COWKA??!!]]> 3.48 2020

]]> 40121378 Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving鈥攅very day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

Learn how to:
-聽Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
-聽Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
- Design your environment to make success easier;
- Get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.]]> 319 James Clear Laura 4 4.34 2018

]]> 32187419 A sharply intelligent novel about two college students and the strange, unexpected connection they forge with a married couple.

Frances is twenty-one years old, cool-headed, and darkly observant. A college student and aspiring writer, she devotes herself to a life of the mind--and to the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi, her best friend and comrade-in-arms. Lovers at school, the two young women now perform spoken-word poetry together in Dublin, where a journalist named Melissa spots their potential. Drawn into Melissa's orbit, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband. Private property, Frances believes, is a cultural evil--and Nick, a bored actor who never quite lived up to his potential, looks like patriarchy made flesh. But however amusing their flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy neither of them expect. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally even with Bobbi. Desperate to reconcile herself to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances's intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment.

Written with gem-like precision and probing intelligence, Conversations With Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth."]]> 304 Sally Rooney 0451499077 Laura 4 Ty no nw... 3.74 2017

]]> 53285047 We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?

Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other Bunny, and seem to move and speak as one.

But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled Smut Salon, and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus Workshop where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision.

The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination.

I devoured it whole.'- KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE** SHORTLISTED FOR THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2022 **The Hollow sisters - Vivi, Grey and Iris - are as seductively glamorous as they are mysterious. They have black eyes and hair as white as milk. The Hollow sisters don't have friends - they don't need them. They move through the corridors like sharks, the other little fish parting around them, whispering behind their backs.And everyone knows who the Hollow sisters are. Because one day the three Hollow sisters simply disappeared. And when they came back, one month later, with no memory of where they had been, it was as if nothing had changed. Almost nothing. Apart from, for example, the little scar that had appeared in the hollow of their throats ... and a whispering sense that something is not quite right about them, despite (or maybe because of) the terrible passion to be with them that they can exert on anybody at will...A thrilling, twisting, novel that is as seductive and glamorous as the Hollow sisters themselves....]]> 296 Krystal Sutherland 1471409902 Laura 3 3.75 4.04 2021
