Maddy Gaines sees danger everywhere she looks: at the bus stop,
around the roller rink, in the woods, and (especially) by the
ocean. When Maddy meets a mysterious boy setting booby traps in the
North Carolina woods, she suspects is Billy Holcomb--the boy who
went missing in the fall. As Maddy tries to uncover the truth about
Billy Holcomb, ghosts from her own past surface, her best friend
starts to slip away, and Maddy's world tilts once again. Can she
put the pieces of her life back together, even if some of them are
lost forever?

Iwan is die jongste en ook die luiste van drie seuns. Op ’n dag stuur sy pa hom om takke in die woud te gaan afbreek en daar kom hy ’n blinde man teë. Dié man sê vir hom dat hy eendag die tsaar van Rusland sal word. Al wat hy moet doen, is om op die bakoond in die huis te lê, net sonneblompitte te eet, en met niemand te praat nie … vir sewe jaar lank!
Die jare gaan verby en uiteindelik begin sy groot reis na die Witteberge, ’n reis vol avontuur en gevare. Hy kom teen die bose Og te staan, kruis paaie met die rower Batur en reken met ’n heks af. So trek hy deur seisoene en landskappe, en telkens moet hy ’n nuwe struikelblok op pad oorkom.
Maar Wanja glo vas in die voorspelling van die blinde man en hou voet by stuk. Sou die ou man die waarheid gepraat het?
For fans of Little White Lies and Two Can Keep a Secret comes an
addictive thriller about a budding teen celebrity secretly
investigating his brother's suspicious death while navigating the highs
and lows of fame.
Rising star Abel Miller has just landed a role in one of the hottest
reboots on the Omni Channel, Sunset High. It looks like he’ll be yet
another budding celebrity plucked from obscurity, but he has a secret:
his brother, Adam, a mere production associate, died during the filming
of the last attempt at Sunset High, and no one knows how… or why. Abel
is going to find out.
But when he meets the other stars of the show— Lucky, Ryan, and Ella,
along with creator Lake Carter— he realizes there’s even more darkness
beneath the shimmer of fame. They all have their own secrets to hide,
and one of them is willing to kill to keep it that way.
FOUR BROTHERS. TWO MYSTERIES. ONE EXPLOSIVE READ. Grayson Hawthorne was raised as the heir apparent to his billionaire grandfather, taught from the cradle to put family first. Now the great Tobias Hawthorne is dead and his family disinherited, but some lessons linger. When Grayson's half-sisters find themselves in trouble, he swoops in to do what he does best: take care of the problem - efficiently, effectively, mercilessly. And without getting bogged down in emotional entanglements. Jameson Hawthorne is a risk-taker, a sensation-seeker, a player of games. When his mysterious father appears and asks for a favor, Jameson can't resist the challenge. Now he must infiltrate London's most exclusive underground gambling club, which caters to the rich, the powerful, and the aristocratic, and win an impossible game of greatest stakes. Luckily, Jameson Hawthorne lives for impossible. Drawn into twisted games on opposite sides of the globe, Grayson and Jameson - with the help of their brothers and the girl who inherited their grandfather's fortune and stole their hearts - must dig deep to decide who they want to be and what each of them will sacrifice to win. AND THERE'S NOTHING MORE HAWTHORNE THAN WINNING . . .
