One brutal murder.
A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself...
And an intoxicating romance.

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe - witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family's renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin...desecrated beyond belief.

Tonight the Streets Are Ours 23310761
Thatโ€™s how seventeen-year-old Arden Huntley has always thought of herself. Caring for her loved ones is what gives Arden purpose in her life and makes her feel like she matters. But lately sheโ€™s grown resentful of everyoneโ€”including her needy best friend and her absent momโ€”taking her loyalty for granted.

Then Arden stumbles upon a website called Tonight the Streets Are Ours, the musings of a young New York City writer named Peter, who gives voice to feelings that Arden has never known how to express. He seems to get her in a way that no one else does, and he hasnโ€™t even met her.

Until Arden sets out on a road trip to find him.

During one crazy night out in New York City filled with parties, dancing, and musicโ€”the type of night when anything can happen, and nearly everything doesโ€”Arden discovers that Peter isnโ€™t exactly who she thought he was. And maybe she isnโ€™t exactly who she thought she was, either.]]>

<![CDATA[Walk of Shame (Love Unexpectedly, #4)]]> 53307276 IT'S 5 A.M.
HER NIGHT IS ENDING.
HIS DAY IS BEGINNING.
SPARKS FLY WHEN THEY MEET...

Pampered heiress Georgianna Watkins has a party-girl image to maintain, but all the shopping and clubbing is starting to feel a little bit hollow - and a whole lot lonely. Though Georgie would never admit it, the highlights of her week are the mornings when she comes home at the same time as her uptight, workaholic neighbour is leaving to hit the gym and put in a long day at the office. Teasing him is the most fun Georgie's had in years - and the fuel for all her naughtiest daydreams.

Celebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney doesn't have much time for women, especially spoiled tabloid princesses who spend more time on Page Six than at an actual job. Although Georgie's drop-dead gorgeous, she's also everything Andrew resents: the type of girl who inherited her penthouse instead of earning it. But after Andrew caps one of their predawn sparring sessions with a surprise kiss-a kiss that's caught on camera-all of Manhattan is gossiping about whether they're a real couple. And nobody's more surprised than Andrew to find that the answer just might be yes.]]>

Alex, Approximately 30312700
Faced with doubts (what if heโ€™s a creep in real lifeโ€”or worse?), Bailey doesnโ€™t tell Alex sheโ€™s moved to his hometown. Or that sheโ€™s landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that sheโ€™s being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Rothโ€”a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis. But life is whole lot messier than the movies, especially when Bailey discovers that tricky fine line between hate, love, and whatever-it-is sheโ€™s starting to feel for Porter.

And as the summer months go by, Bailey must choose whether to cling to a dreamy online fantasy in Alex or take a risk on an imperfect reality with Porter. The choice is both simpler and more complicated than she realizes, because Porter Roth is hiding a secret of his own: Porter is Alexโ€ฆApproximately.

In this delightfully charming teen spin on Youโ€™ve Got Mail, the one guy Bailey Rydell canโ€™t stand is actually the boy of her dreamsโ€”she just doesnโ€™t know it yet.]]>

But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her motherโ€™s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life.

And then Carol appearsโ€”in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old.

So when she and her best friend stumble upon a โ€œhelp wantedโ€� post to run a coffee shop in the Scottish Highlands, they apply on a whim. Who knows?

Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya--but neither wants to be.

War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds--and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine.]]>

She throws herself into her work from dusk to dawn, until her solitary routine is disrupted by the appearance of a mysterious child who shows up at her cabin barefoot and covered in bruises.

The girl calls herself Ursa, and she claims to have been sent from the stars to witness five miracles. With concerns about the childโ€™s home situation, Jo reluctantly agrees to let her stayโ€•just until she learns more about Ursaโ€™s past.

The Atlas Six (The Atlas, #1) 59239781 The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is the runaway TikTok must-read fantasy novel of the year. If you loved Ninth House and A Deadly Education, youโ€™ll love this.

Originally a self-published sensation, this edition has been fully edited and revised, including gorgeous new illustrations.

Secrets. Betrayal. Seduction.
Welcome to the Alexandrian Society.


When the worldโ€™s best magicians are offered an extraordinary opportunity, saying yes is easy. Each could join the secretive Alexandrian Society, whose custodians guard lost knowledge from ancient civilizations. Their members enjoy a lifetime of power and prestige. Yet each decade, only six practitioners are invited โ€� to fill five places.

Contenders Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona are inseparable enemies, cosmologists who can control matter with their minds. Parisa Kamali is a telepath, who sees the mindโ€™s deepest secrets. Reina Mori is a naturalist who can perceive and understand the flow of life itself. And Callum Nova is an empath, who can manipulate the desires of others. Finally thereโ€™s Tristan Caine, whose powers mystify even himself.

Following recruitment by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they travel to the Societyโ€™s London headquarters. Here, each must study and innovate within esoteric subject areas. And if they can prove themselves, over the course of a year, theyโ€™ll survive. Most of them.]]>

<![CDATA[The Kindred Spirits Supper Club]]> 54802068 "A charming rom-com with a supernatural twist...Filled with a strong sense of place, mouthwatering descriptions of food, and a sweet love story (or two), Reichert's latest will surely delight readers." Booklist Starred Review

Named a Must Read for spring by Buzzfeed * Bustle * Booktrib * PopSugar * BookRiot * Midwest Living

Jobless and forced home to Wisconsin, journalist Sabrina Monroe can tolerate reunions with frenemies and kisses from old boyfriends, but not the literal ghosts that greet her in this heartwarming tale of the power of love and connection from acclaimed author Amy E. Reichert.

For Sabrina Monroe, moving back home to the Wisconsin Dellsโ€“the self-described Waterpark Capital of the Worldโ€“means returning to the Monroe family curse: the women in her family can see spirits who come to them for help with unfinished business. But Sabrinaโ€™s always redirected the needy spirits to her mom, whoโ€™s much better suited for the job. The one exception has always been Molly, a bubbly rom-com loving ghost, who stuck by Sabrinaโ€™s side all through her lonely childhood.

Her personal life starts looking up when Ray, the new local restaurateur, invites Sabrina to his supper club, where he flirts with her over his famous Brandy Old-Fashioneds. Heโ€™s charming and handsome, but Sabrina tells herself she doesnโ€™t have time for romanceโ€“she needs to focus on finding a job. Except the longer sheโ€™s in the Dells, the harder it is to resist her feelings for Ray. Who can turn down a cute guy with a fondness for rescue dogs and an obsession with perfecting his fried cheese curds recipe?

When the Dells starts to feel like home for the first time and with Ray in her corner, Sabrina begins to realize that she can make a difference and help others wherever she is.]]>

<![CDATA[The Finish Line (The Ravenhood, #3)]]> 56182388
Iโ€™ve lived the entirety of my life wrapped up in subterfuge for one purposeโ€”revenge.

Through the years, I lived more as an enigma than a man.

For so long, I denied I had a beating heart of my own.

Until her. Until she unearthed the starving vessel inside, forced me to acknowledge it, forced me to understand that Iโ€™m capable of bleeding the same as any other.

For that, we paid. We're still paying.

Yet, she demands it still, the useless heart of the ruthless thief and shameless villain she fell for. My fear is, Iโ€™m no longer that man.

With the lies Iโ€™ve told, the life Iโ€™ve led, my mistakes are beginning to catch up with me, day by day, one by one.

This is my last chance, and I have no intention of losing her again, but as the deception of my past starts to unravel and close in, shedding my humanity may be the only thing that can save us both.

Maybe itโ€™s already too late.]]>

Flock (The Ravenhood, #1) 40748777 Can you keep a secret?

โฃI grew up sick.โฃโฃ

Let me clarify.โฃโฃI grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.โฃโฃ Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.โฃโฃ

When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naรฏve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.โฃโฃ Triple Falls wasnโ€™t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.โฃโฃ Secrets that cost us everything to keep.

โฃโฃThatโ€™s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You canโ€™t re-live your own love story, because by the time youโ€™ve realized youโ€™re living it, itโ€™s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.โฃโฃ Looking back, Iโ€™m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.โฃโฃ And all were punished.]]>

Exodus (The Ravenhood, #2) 53312623 Can you live a lie?

Itโ€™s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.

Itโ€™s clear to me that Iโ€™ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.

I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.

Even when Iโ€™d sensed the danger, I gave in.

I didnโ€™t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.

There was never going to be an escape.

All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.

Iโ€™m done pretending I didnโ€™t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.

Itโ€™s the reason Iโ€™m back. To make peace with my fate.

And if I canโ€™t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, Iโ€™ll remain sick. That will be my curse.

But itโ€™s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that Iโ€™d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.

At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.

Because I can no longer live a lie.]]>

<![CDATA[Truly, Devious (Truly Devious, #1)]]> 29589074
Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym โ€œTruly, Devious.โ€� It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history.

True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder.ย 

The two interwoven mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series dovetail brilliantly, and Stevie Bell will continue her relentless quest for the murderers in books two and three.

New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson weaves a delicate tale of murder and mystery in the first book of a striking new series, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and E. Lockhart.]]>

Book Lovers 58690308 One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming....

Nora Stephensโ€� life is booksโ€”sheโ€™s read them allโ€”and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sistersโ€� trip awayโ€”with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who sheโ€™s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that theyโ€™ve met many times and itโ€™s never been cute.

If Nora knows sheโ€™s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows heโ€™s nobodyโ€™s hero, but as they are thrown together again and againโ€”in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allowโ€”what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories theyโ€™ve written about themselves.]]>

Now sheโ€™s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.

Thereโ€™s a reason Knox doesnโ€™t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomiโ€™s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.

At least, thatโ€™s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.]]>

This Golden State 57693621
1. No one can know your real name.
2. Donโ€™t stay in one place too long.
3. If you sense anything is wrong, go immediately to the meeting spot.
4. Keeping our family together is everything.
5. We wish we could tell you who we are, but we canโ€™t. Pleaseโ€”do not ask.

Poppy doesnโ€™t know why her family has been running her whole life, but she does know that there are dire consequences if theyโ€™re ever caught. Still, her curiosity grows each year, as does her desire for real friends and the chance to build on something, instead of leaving behind school projects, teams, and crushes at a momentโ€™s notice.

When a move to California exposes a crack in her parentsโ€� airtight planning, Poppy realizes how fragile her world is. Determined to find out the truth, she mails in a home DNA test. Just as she starts to settle into her new life and even begins opening up to a boy in her math class, the forgotten test results bring her crashing back to reality.

Unraveling the shocking truth of her parentsโ€� real identities, Poppy realizes that the DNA test has undone decades of careful work to keep her family anonymousโ€”and the past is dangerously close to catching up to them. Determined to protect her family but desperate for more, Poppy must ask: How much of herself does she owe her family? And is it a betrayal to find her own place in the world?

Marit Weisenbergโ€™s This Golden State follows a family on the run, a restless teenage daughter hungry for the truth, and the simple DNA test that threatens their carefully crafted world]]>

They Wish They Were Us 48717442 A murder mystery set against the backdrop of an exclusive prep school on Long Island.

In Gold Coast, Long Island, everything from the expensive downtown shops to the manicured beaches, to the pressed uniforms of Jill Newman and her friends, looks perfect. But as Jill found out three years ago, nothing is as it seems.

Freshman year Jill's best friend, the brilliant, dazzling Shaila Arnold, was killed by her boyfriend. After that dark night on the beach, Graham confessed, the case was closed, and Jill tried to move on.

Now, it's Jill's senior year and she's determined to make it her best yet. After all, she's a senior and a Player--a member of Gold Coast Prep's exclusive, not-so-secret secret society. Senior Players have the best parties, highest grades and the admiration of the entire school. This is going to be Jill's year. She's sure of it.

But when Jill starts getting texts proclaiming Graham's innocence, her dreams of the perfect senior year start to crumble. If Graham didn't kill Shaila, who did? Jill vows to find out, but digging deeper could mean putting her friendships, and her future, in jeopardy.]]>

The Light We Lost 32956365 He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?

Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her storyโ€”their storyโ€”at the very beginning.

Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fatedโ€”perhaps theyโ€™ll find lifeโ€™s meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept them away? Their journey takes Lucy and Gabe continents apart, but never out of each otherโ€™s hearts.]]>

Only a Monster (Monsters, #1) 58210340 With the sweeping romance of Passenger and the dark fantasy edge of This Savage Song, this standout YA contemporary fantasy debut from Vanessa Len, is the first in a planned trilogy.

It should have been the perfect summer. Sent to stay with her late motherโ€™s eccentric family in London, sixteen-year-old Joan is determined to enjoy herself.

Beach Read 52867387 A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.

Theyโ€™re polar opposites.

In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, theyโ€™re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writerโ€™s block.

Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. Sheโ€™ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and heโ€™ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no-one will fall in love. Really.]]>

<![CDATA[The Inheritance Games (The Inheritance Games, #1)]]> 52439531
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.]]>

<![CDATA[The Hawthorne Legacy (The Inheritance Games, #2)]]> 50531218 Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Inheritance Games perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.

The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions - including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.

Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows that she's not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture - by any means necessary.

With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.]]>
