The perfect start to the Starcrossed series. Dive into the world of
modern-day demigods with a dazzling new enemies to lovers novel
from bestselling author Josephine Angelini. This Greek mythology
series is ideal for fans of Alexandra Bracken and Chloe Gong. New
York City, 1993. It wasn't Daphne's choice to move into the heart
of a struggle that has been secretly waging for thirty-three
hundred years, but not much in her life has been up to her. Fate
has brought Daphne, daughter of Zeus, and Heir to the House of
Atreus to where the descendants of the Greek gods can shed blood
over her once again. Men are fated to kill for her. But New York
holds a surprise for Daphne and her cursed face-the same one that
once launched a thousand ships. A series of murals painted all over
town mysteriously pull at her in ways she can't understand. That's
because the artist is Ajax Delos, Son of Apollo, Scion of the House
of Thebes, and Daphne's mortal enemy. She found the one worth dying
for. With the Fates manipulating them like pieces on a chessboard,
Daphne and Ajax must find a way to break the cycle of destruction
set in motion by their ancestors before the walls of Troy, or risk
becoming yet another pair of star-crossed lovers doomed to repeat
the same fatal mistakes.
Sure, love is hell. But it, s totally worth it.
In these supernatural stories by five of today's hottest
writers--Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely), Scott Westerfeld (Specials),
Justine Larbalestier (Magic or Madness), Gabrielle Zevin
(Elsewhere), and Laurie Faria Stolarz (Blue is for
Nightmares)--love may be twisted and turned around, but it's more
potent than ever on its quest to conquer all.
From two students who let the power of attraction guide them to
break the hard-and-fast rules of their world to the girl who falls
hard for a good-looking ghost with a score to settle, the clever,
quirky characters in this exciting collection will break your
heart, then leave you believing in love more than ever.

So, when Reverend Muddle suspects there’s been a theft at the vicarage, and there are further mysteries of the rather muddled kind, Little Miss Marple is sure she can help Inspector Nonsense and Constable Silly uncover the truth… This is the first Little Miss Marple mystery in a mischievous new partnership, publishing alongside Mr Poirot: Mischief on the Nile.
