Sixteen year old Julia Phillips buries herself in guilt after killing her best friend Monica in a car accident. Julia awoke in the hospital with a broken leg, a new talent for drawing and false memories of the accident, in which she dies and Monica lives. The doctors attribute this to her head injury, but no one can explain how a bracelet engraved with her name ended up at the scene of the accident. A bracelet no one has ever seen before. Classmate Evan Whittaker paid Julia no attention before the accident, let alone after. Now suddenly he’s volunteering to tutor her and offering to drive her home. She can't ignore that his new obsession started after his two-day disappearance last week and that he wears a pendant she’s been drawing for months. When the police show up one night looking for Evan, he begs Julia to run with him, convincing her that Monica is still alive. Julia agrees to go, never guessing where he’s really from.

Det er midt på sommeren, men en årstidsfremmed tåge presser sig mod vinduesruderne. Harry Potter venter nervøst på sit værelse hos Dursley-familien i Privet Drive på besøg af selveste professor Dumbledore. En af de sidste gange, han så rektor, var i en voldsom tvekamp ansigt til ansigt med Lord Voldemort, og Harry kan næsten ikke tro, at professor Dumbledore virkelig vil dukke op hos Dursley-familien af alle steder. Hvorfor kommer professoren på besøg hos ham nu? Hvad er det, der ikke kan vente, til Harry vender tilbage til Hogwarts om nogle få uger? Harrys sjette år på Hogwarts har allerede fået en usædvanlig start, da mugglernes og trolddommens verdener begynder at flettes sammen...

Harry er blevet pålagt en mørk, farlig og tilsyneladende umulig opgave: at finde og ødelægge Voldemorts resterende horcruxer. Aldrig har Harry følt sig så alene eller stået over for en fremtid så fuld af skygger. Men Harry må på en eller anden måde finde styrken i sig selv til at fuldføre den opgave, han har fået. Han må forlade varmen, trygheden og fællesskabet i Vindelhuset og uden frygt eller tøven følge den ubønhørlige vej, der er lagt ud for ham ... I denne sidste, syvende del af Harry Potter-serien afslører J.K. Rowling på spektakulær vis svarene på de mange spørgsmål, der er blevet ventet så ivrigt på.

Emily Webb is a geek. And she’s happy that way. Content hiding under hoodies and curling up to watch old horror flicks, she’s never been the kind of girl who sneaks out for midnight parties. And she’s definitely not the kind of girl who starts fights or flirts with other girls’ boyfriends. Until one night Emily finds herself doing exactly that . . . the same night one of her classmates—also named Emily—is found mysteriously murdered. The thing is, Emily doesn’t know why she’s doing any of this. By day, she’s the same old boring Emily, but by night, she turns into a thrill seeker. With every nightfall, Emily gets wilder until it’s no longer just her personality that changes. Her body can do things it never could before: Emily is now strong, fast, and utterly fearless. And soon Emily realizes that she’s not just coming out of her shell . . . there’s something much bigger going on. Is she bewitched by the soul of the other, murdered Emily? Or is Emily Webb becoming something else entirely—something not human? As Emily hunts for answers, she finds out that she’s not the only one this is happening to—some of her classmates are changing as well. Who is turning these teens into monsters—and how many people will they kill to get what they want?

Some schools have honor codes. Others have handbooks. Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds. From the glossy pages of its admissions brochure, the prestigious Themis Academy appears perfect in every way: exceptional academics, extraordinary students, the kind of extracurriculars to make an Ivy League proud, and zero instances of student misbehavior. But this boarding school isn't as pristine as it appears. There's a dark underbelly to the perfect record the Themis administration flaunts. Student infractions are rampant, and it's up to a secret vigilante society, the Mockingbirds, to maintain order on campus—a responsibility their members take very seriously. Alex Patrick never thought she would need the Mockingbirds. But when she's date-raped by another student, she doesn't know where else to go. As much as she'd like to forget what happened, she can't escape the daily reminders of what went wrong that terrible night. Before she can summon the courage to take a stand, she'll have to accept that her battle for justice is not hers alone. Standing up for someone, especially yourself, is worth the fight.
