Love comes in the most unlikely places! It must surely be a case of mistaken identity or so Carrie informed herself as she travelled towards the place indicated to her. But then at the time she had no idea of what awaited her there or the advent of the two men into her life who would ultimately shape her destiny. Neither come to that had she any idea at the time of the dangers which were destined to torment her. Could this be all because she had once applied for a job in the civil service? But if this was the case she was hardly filing papers in an air conditioned office. Therefore she was left with the question whether she could find true love as she faced those jagged ghoul shaped rocks which appeared to inspire sedition?

In this sizzling dystopian romance, perfect for fans of­ Fourth Wing ­and ­The Hunger Games, your secrets can be a death sentence, and there are rules to survival: TRUST NO ONE. LIE TO EVERYONE. AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T FALL FOR YOUR GREATEST ENEMY.

Twenty-year-old Wren Darlington is not your ordinary Mod. She’s one of the most powerful in existence. But her world is divided. On the Continent, being a known Modified means certain death, as the Primes - those immune to the biotoxin that nearly wiped out the population 150 years ago - want nothing more than to eliminate those who were enhanced by the toxin and developed psychic powers.

Wren has survived all these years by concealing her abilities and keeping a low profile while doing what she can to aid the rebel Uprising in fighting against the Primes’ oppressive rule. But one careless mistake places her in the crosshairs of the Continent’s military, and she is forced to join their most elite program: Silver Block. Unwittingly, her enemy has given her - and the Uprising - the perfect opportunity to strike a devastating blow from inside their ranks.

That is, if she can keep her powers hidden, survive training, and prove herself to Cross Redden, her cocky, maddeningly attractive commanding officer.

Despite the explosive chemistry between them, Wren cannot let Cross get in the way of her mission. But as war rages between Mods like her and those who aim to destroy them, emotions run high and secrets are revealed, forcing Wren to decide how far she’s willing to go to protect herself . . . and how much of the Continent is worth saving.

'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON

They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away.
But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.

There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.

There was Camila, the frontman’s wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode – and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy.

There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn’t ready for her.

And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames.

It’s never just about the music…

This is a romantic tale with a sinister twist. It centres around the life of Luke, an artist, who comes from a well to do but dysfunctional family and has endured a troubled past relationship with his unstable Mother. In adulthood, he meets and falls in love with Maggie, but his love develops into a sinister obsession, and he will stop at nothin, even murder, to conceal a dark, long buried secret from her.

If you've ever found yourself waiting for a call that didn't come, The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh is the book for you.

Imagine you meet a man, spend six glorious days together, and fall in love. And it's mutual: you've never been so certain of anything. So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him. But he doesn't call.

Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence. What do you do when you finally discover you're right?

That there is a reason -- and that reason is the one thing you didn't share with each other? The truth.

It was never the case of good people doing nothing; rather if they are prepared to cross the line and kill. After a chance meeting with two investigative journalists, Sam discovers that a man he hasn't seen for over twenty years and those he loves. Confronted with that realisation, he is led on a quest where he will be forced to take the long reach back and place his trust in someone who once betrayal him. But can he forgive that betrayal for the sake of a young child held by captors for whom violence holds no boundaries? And when Penny finds herself face to face with a date in history when the world was at war - a date that has become Sam's moral compass - little does she know that for one man, knowledge that of that moral compass, and that it is Sam's Achilles heel, will bring the two men together for one final showdown. The question is: who will walk away the victor and who will not?

From the best-selling author of The Nix comes a witty and poignant new novel about modern marriage, our tech-obsessed health culture, and the bonds that keep people together.

When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the 90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting they encounter cults disguised as mindfulness support groups, polyamorous would-be suitors, Facebook wars, and something called Love Potion Number Nine.

For the first time, Jack and Elizabeth struggle to recognize one another, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other.

Moving from the gritty 90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home renovation hysteria, Wellness mines the absurdities of modern technology and modern love to reveal profound, startling truths about intimacy and connection.

In this follow-up to Nathan Hill’s electric debut, Wellness reimagines the love story with healthy doses of insight, irony and heart.
