"There are no angels in Baton Noir. Only devils." Jude Lomax
scrapes a living playing the trumpet on the neon streets of Baton
Noir. Then she is invited to play at the funeral of the infamous
cajou queen, Ivory Monette. Passing through the cemetery gates,
Jude finds herself possessed by the murdered queen's spirit. And
Ivory won't rest until she's found the person responsible for her
death. If Jude wants to be rid of the vengeful spirit, she must
take a journey deep into the dangerous underbelly of the city, from
the swampy depths of the Black Bayou to the velvet opulence of the
vampires' secret jazz clubs. But as Jude untangles Ivory's web of
secrets, she is confronted with a few dark truths from her own
past... The first in an eagerly awaited series from the author of
FROZEN CHARLOTTE, a WHS Zoella Book Club title in 2016, which is
sure to enthral fans of Holly Black, Maggie Steifvater, Amanda
Foody and Stephanie Garber.
"You are deluded, Romeo. Vampires do not have the capability to
love. They are heartless."
The Capulets and the Montagues have some deep and essential
differences. Blood differences. Of course, the Capulets can escape
their vampire fate, and the Montagues can try not to kill their
undead enemies. But at the end of the day, their blood feud is
unstoppable. So it's really quite a problem when Juliet, a
vampire-to-be, and Romeo, the human who should be hunting her, fall
desperately in love. What they don't realize is how deadly their
love will turn out to be--or what it will mean for their
afterlives. . . .
This riotous twist on the ultimate tale of forbidden romance is
simply to die for.

The most exciting new children's book of 2020 and a modern classic in the making. The Beast and the Bethany has all the classic macabre humour of Roald Dahl with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, finished off with a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors! This book should be on every little monster's birthday and Christmas list.
Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old. He keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion, who he feeds all manner of things (including performing monkeys, his pet cat and the occasional cactus) and in return the beast vomits out presents for Ebenezer, as well as potions which keep him young and beautiful. But the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do. So when Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan . . .
