Set more than one hundred years after the Borden murders, this
propulsive, supernatural thriller imagines what might happen if history
were to repeat itself today. Perfect for fans of Kara Thomas and
Courtney Summers!
When Mariella Morse accuses her boyfriend, Vik Gomez, of murdering her
wealthy parents with an axe, the town is quick to believe her. It
doesn't help that Vik is caught standing over her parents' bodies with
blood on his hands, unable to remember anything about the night in
question.
But Vik's sister, Tessa, knows that Vik would never be capable of such
a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family
to move to Fall River, MA in the first place, she sets out to prove her
brother's innocence.
Tessa's search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, notoriously
cursed forest, where she and Mariella must face a darkness that has
lurked within their town since before the days of Lizzie Borden--the
original axe murderess of Fall River.
In a world where the children of the gods inherit their powers, a descendant of the Greek Fates must solve a series of impossible murders to save her sisters, her soulmate, and her city.
Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.
But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.
But the investigation turns personal when Io's estranged oldest sister turns up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players—before destruction comes to her own doorstep.
Red Leech, is the second in the Young Sherlock Holmes series in
which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled
and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable detective adventures
that remain true to the spirit of the original books. Sherlock
Holmes knows that Amyus Crow, his mysterious American tutor, has
some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find a notorious killer,
hanged by the US government, apparently alive and well in Surrey -
and Crow somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the
truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself.
And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the ocean
to America, to the centre of a deadly web - where life and death
are cheap, and truth has a price no sane person would pay . . .
Sherlock Holmes. Think you know him? Think again. Continue the
investigative adventures with Andrew Lane's Black Ice and Fire
Storm.
