Emily Wilde ist die führende Expertin in Sachen Feen in Cambridge, und ihr neues Forschungsprojekt ist revolutionär: Sie möchte eine Karte der Anderswelten zeichnen, um die verschlungenen Wege dieser zauberhaften Wesen besser zu verstehen.

I never asked for these powers. I never asked to be yanked away from my perfectly good life and forced to come here. But the gods have gifted me with magic, and now I have no choice. If I was smart, I’d keep my head down and play it safe until I can graduate. And I definitely wouldn’t go up against the three gorgeous, infuriating men who rule the school - Trace, Merrick, and Lachlan. But when we’re all chosen to compete in the Gods’ challenge, a deadly competition for the honor of meeting the gods themselves, teaming up with my bullies may be my only chance at survival.

Those four words are more than a death sentence. They’re proof that happy endings were never meant for people like me. I thought we’d gotten away with it. Ambrose is dead, and I should be celebrating with my men. Instead, I’m about to face the wrath of the Syndicate—and the only thing that will satisfy them is my blood. But even with the odds stacked against us, I’ll never go down without a fight. After all, I have something to fight for now: the men who’ve claimed me—body, heart, and soul. They’re my Princes of Carnage. And I’ll be their princess of vengeance.

When Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg discovers an undeveloped roll of film left behind by her predecessor in the FBI, she isn’t sure what to make of the strange photos he took. A map of Scotland, an out-of-print book, a rare bird, a cluster of Post-It notes, an office party … do these images have something to do with crimes he committed as a Russian double agent known as “Skylark”? Ingrid starts digging and becomes convinced that—far from being a traitor—her predecessor was just another victim of the mysterious Skylark who has killed many times to protect his identity.

Now Ingrid must stay in the country, and with the FBI, to prove her innocence. Up against powerful forces who would rather silence her—permanently—than let the real killer pay the price, Ingrid digs deep to uncover a conspiracy that leads all the way to the White House.

It started with a threat . . . "Shut your mouth or pay the consequences." That's the problem with being the only female in the world's largest rock band. I attract crazed fans and stalkers on a daily basis. Much to Adrian's displeasure. As our band manager, it's Adrian Hale's job to protect us. And that's all I am to him . . . a job.

There's a fire spreading inside me that's burning to get out.

What they get is something far older—and far angrier.

Flotes, això és el màxim que has aconseguit. Tens mitja feina, una habitació rellogada i un títol que acredita que ets dels que no poden caure. Però caus. El risc ha entrat a la teva vida sense que el veiessis venir. D’un dia per l’altre tot allò que no et podia passar esdevé real: perds el sostre, perds la feina i et parteixen la cara. Fins a quin punt tenir un sostre i una feina defineix la societat en què vivim, ho sap la protagonista d’Ocàs i fascinació: la seva aventura comença quan perd totes dues coses. A ella, que havia seguit les normes del joc, no li tocava caure.

I should have known I could never run fast enough to stay free of my family's clutches. Now I'm back under my mother's thumb, being prepped as the heir to her mafia throne...and for other plans so shady that she's keeping them secret.

Ellen has always been practical, skeptical, grounded in reality. But when strange occurrences escalate and long-buried records surface, even she can’t ignore the truth: the house is holding onto something. Decades earlier, the property operated as a private medical residence for women—patients declared unstable, difficult, or hysterical. Their diagnoses were signed. Their confinement justified. Their stories erased. Until now.

Love? That’s not in my script. At least, that’s what I thought before Rah. Rah and his seven feet of broad-shouldered, unreadable, way-too-noble-for-his-own-good self. If someone had told me I’d be stuck on a green desert planet, tangled up in some slow-burn, unresolved-tension situation with him, I would’ve laughed and said that sounds like a bad sci-fi romance.

When Sue falls in love with a dilapidated farmhouse near East Glacier Park Village—on land belonging to the Blackfeet Nation—she sees opportunity: sweeping mountain views, one hundred acres of forest, and the chance to create a retreat near Glacier National Park. The tribe sees something else. The property has stood vacant for decades, abandoned after a string of tragedies no one can explain. Families fled. Children suffered. And the land itself seems unwilling to be claimed.

When Boulder City is inundated with strange occurrences, the local, state, and federal authorities come up emptyhanded. Motivated by heart-wrenching appeals on Sue's blog, Ellen and her friends offer to help. But the pressure's on like never before when their paranormal investigation is met with scrutiny at every turn, especially when they discover, with the help of a one-hundred-year-old ghost, a sickening coverup from the days of the building of the Hoover Dam.

To stay together, Therese must survive impossible trials set by Hades himself, outwit Olympian politics, and face the wrath of gods who refuse to accept a mortal among them. Immortality comes at a cost—and becoming a goddess may require sacrifices neither of them are prepared to make.
