Sázky jsou ještě vyšší v tomto epickém, romantickém závěru duologie Karmínová můra, která se stala bestsellerem deníku New York Times. ČARODĚJKA... Rune Wintersová je na útěku. Od chvíle, kdy chlapec, kterého milovala, Gideon Sharpe, odhalil, kým je, a vydal ji do rukou nepřátel, ji chce každý zabít. Pokud chce Rune přežít, musí se spojit s krutou a nebezpečnou Cressidou Rosebloodovou, která plánuje získat Republiku zpět a obnovit vládu čarodějek — a k tomu Cressida Rune potřebuje. LOVEC ČARODĚJEK... Zřejmě nestačilo, že Rune Gideona oklamala; teď ho zradila tím, že se spojila s čarodějkou, která z jeho života udělala peklo. Gideon nedovolí, aby Republika padla do rukou čarodějek a byla znovu uvržena do nočních můr minulosti. Aby ochránil tento nový svět, za který bojoval, musí zemřít každá poslední čarodějka — zejména Rune Wintersová. NEMOŽNÁ VOLBA... Když Rune Gideonovi učiní nabídku, kterou nemůže odmítnout, musí se spojit, aby dosáhli nebezpečných cílů. Čím více jsou nuceni trávit čas ve vzájemné společnosti, tím více si Gideon uvědomuje, že city, které k Rune choval, nejsou tak mrtvé a pohřbené, jak si myslel. Nyní stojí před strašlivou volbou: obětovat dívku, kterou miluje, aby zabránil netvorovi znovu získat moc, nebo nechat Rune žít a sledovat, jak svět, za který tak usilovně bojoval, hoří. V knize Vzpurná čarodějka od Kristen Ciccarelli, napínavém závěru duologie Karmínová můra, ještě nikdy nebyla láska tak smrtící.

In dieser herzerwärmenden und bezaubernden Fantasy reist eine mürrische Professorin in eine kleine Stadt im hohen Norden, um Feenfolklore zu erforschen, und entdeckt dunkle Feenmagie, Freundschaft und Liebe. Die Cambridge-Professorin Emily Wilde kann vieles gut: Sie ist die führende Expertin auf dem Gebiet der Feenforschung. Sie ist eine geniale Gelehrte und akribische Forscherin, die die weltweit erste Enzyklopädie der Feenkunde schreibt. Doch Emily Wilde ist nicht gut im Umgang mit Menschen. Sie könnte auf einer Party niemals Small Talk machen – oder überhaupt zu einer eingeladen werden. Und sie zieht die Gesellschaft ihrer Bücher, ihres Hundes Shadow und des Feenvolks anderen Menschen vor. Als sie also im abgelegenen Dorf Hrafnsvik ankommt, hat Emily nicht die Absicht, sich mit den wortkargen Dorfbewohnern anzufreunden. Ebenso wenig möchte sie Zeit mit einem weiteren Neuankömmling verbringen: ihrem charmanten und unerträglich gut aussehenden akademischen Rivalen Wendell Bambleby, der es schafft, die Dorfbewohner für sich einzunehmen, sich in Emilys Forschung einzumischen und sie völlig zu verwirren und zu frustrieren. Doch während Emily den Geheimnissen der Verborgenen – der schwer fassbarsten aller Feen – im dunklen Wald außerhalb des Dorfes immer näher kommt, stößt sie auch auf die Spur eines weiteren Rätsels: Wer ist Wendell Bambleby, und was will er wirklich? Um die Antwort zu finden, muss sie das größte Geheimnis von allen entschlüsseln – ihr eigenes Herz.

Studenti z Maple Hills Russ Callaghan a Aurora Robertsová se potkají na večírku oslavujícím konec akademického roku, kde je hra s pitím přivede k vášnivému sexu na jednu noc.

A když se v ní začíná znovu probouzet láska ke sportu, který tak zoufale chtěla nenávidět, Mallory si rychle uvědomí, že hry se nehrají jen na šachovnici, záře reflektorů je silnější, než si představovala, a konkurence může být nelítostná (až nelítostně přitažlivá. A inteligentní… a k vzteku…).

A restless young journalist with big dreams interviews a Hollywood heartthrob—and, ten years later, it's clear that their time together meant more than meets the eye in this sexy, engrossing adult debut novel.

From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman’s efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes. Our narrator should be happy, shouldn’t she? She’s young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers.

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. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer’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. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’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.

Джереми Крофърд, съпругът на Верити Крофърд — авторка на бестселъри, — наема Лоуен да довърши останалите книги от успешна поредица, които ранената му съпруга не е в състояние да завърши. Лоуен пристига в дома на семейство Крофърд, готова да прегледа годините бележки и планове на Верити, надявайки се да намери достатъчно материал, за да започне. Това, което Лоуен не очаква да открие в хаотичния кабинет, е незавършена автобиография, която Верити никога не е възнамерявала някой да прочете. Страница след страница — смразяващи кръвта признания, включително спомените на Верити за това какво наистина се е случило в деня, когато дъщеря ѝ е починала. Лоуен решава да скрие ръкописа от Джереми, знаейки, че съдържанието му би съсипало и без това скърбящия баща.

I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit. When I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. Getting away with it is highly preferable, of course, but perhaps when I’m long gone, someone will open an old safe and find this confession. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing. When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family. Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder. But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit. Outrageously funny, compulsive and subversive, perfect for fans of Killing Eve and My Sister, the Serial Killer.

The plan sounds even better when she’s invited into a group that includes Logan Weber, the cute and charming guy she met on her first day of class.
