På trods af det medicinske mirakel, der har fået hendes tumor til at skrumpe og givet hende et par år mere, har Hazel aldrig været andet end terminalt syg, med sit sidste kapitel indskrevet ved diagnosen. Men da en smuk plotdrejning ved navn Augustus Waters pludselig dukker op i støttegruppen for unge med kræft, er Hazels historie ved at blive skrevet helt om. Indsigtsfuld, modig, respektløs og rå er En flænge i himlen den prisvindende forfatter John Greens hidtil mest ambitiøse og hjerteskærende værk, der på glimrende vis udforsker det sjove, spændende og tragiske ved at være i live og forelsket.

Der Fall ist abgeschlossen. Vor fünf Jahren wurde die Schülerin Andie Bell von Sal Singh ermordet. Die Polizei weiß, dass er es getan hat. Jeder in der Stadt weiß, dass er es getan hat. Aber Pippa Fitz-Amobi, die in derselben Kleinstadt aufgewachsen ist, die von dem Mord erschüttert wurde, ist sich da nicht so sicher. Als sie den Fall zum Thema ihres Abschlussprojekts macht, beginnt sie, Geheimnisse aufzudecken, die jemand in der Stadt unbedingt verborgen halten will. Und wenn der wahre Mörder noch immer da draußen ist, wie weit wird diese Person gehen, um Pip von der Wahrheit fernzuhalten?

A devilish thriller with a killer concept: The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts, a luxurious, clandestine college dedicated to the fine art of murder where earnest students study how best to “delete” their most deserving victim. Who hasn’t wondered for a split second what the world would be like if a person who is the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you’ve probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death. The campus of this “Poison Ivy League” college—its location unknown to even those who study there—is where you might find yourself the practice target of a classmate…and where one’s mandatory graduation thesis is getting away with the perfect murder of someone whose death will make the world a much better place to live. Prepare for an education you’ll never forget. A delightful mix of witty wordplay, breathtaking twists and genuine intrigue, Murder Your Employer will gain you admission into a wholly original world, cocooned within the most entertaining book about well-intentioned would-be murderers you’ll ever read.

The pulse-pounding finale to Lilith Saintcrow's urban fantasy series featuring Dante Valentine. Dante Valentine has been through Hell. Literally. Her body shattered and her mind not far behind, she's dumped back into her own world to survive—or not—as a pawn in one of Lucifer's endless games. Unfortunately, he's just messed with the wrong Necromance. And this time she's mad enough to do something about it. This time, the Devil will pay.

Librarian note: See alternate cover editions here and here. The Duke and I is a romance set in the Regency era. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable… but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule...
