Some worlds deserve to be destroyed . . .
Isla Crown has charted a new destiny and leapt into the unknown,
determined to defeat her insidious ancestor, Lark, no matter the cost.
But Skyshade is nothing like she anticipated, and she’ll have to use
all of her skills just to survive, let alone end Lark for good.
Meanwhile, Grim and Oro would sooner set fire to their own kingdoms
than leave Isla stranded on a path toward certain death. But getting
her back will involve forging an alliance—if they can find a way to
forgive their long history of betrayals.
The key to Isla’s return—and the fate of the realms—lies close to her
heart. But in the face of her most powerful enemy yet, will Isla be
able to reconcile her past in order to carve a future of her own making?
Seven liars in the circle. Only one can survive...
Seven teens arrive for a school retreat - only to find an abandoned

a year ago.
Each of the seven buried a guilty secret about their tragic school
fire. And now someone is out for revenge.
Every hour they must choose the guiltiest one among them to cross over
the white line that circles the motel and be killed. Otherwise, they
all die.
But who deserves to live, and who to die? Because only one of them can
survive...

The second instalment in the fun, page-turning high school mystery
duology from the #1 bestselling author of The Inheritance Games. Meet
the Squad: these cheerleaders are actually spies!
Meet the Squad: pretty, popular, and extremely dangerous.
A WELL-KEPT SECRET
Saying Toby Klein is an unlikely cheerleader is the understatement of
the year. . . but the squad at Bayport High aren’t your average
cheerleaders. They’re elite undercover government operatives. And word
on the street is that something’s about to go down in Bayport . . .
A DANGEROUS MISSION
But if the spy business doesn’t kill Toby, it’s starting to look like
Brooke, the team captain, might. The nominations are in for homecoming
court, and rumour has it that Toby is the front-runner for queen.
A HANDSOME DISTRACTION
Tensions are high and Toby’s budding feelings for the most popular and
infuriatingly handsome guy in Bayport High aren’t helping, either.
Terrorist threat? Mission gone wrong? Disastrous Homecoming Court?
Bring it on.
It is 2003 – ten years since Spud Milton’s class of 93 matriculated and
the boys went their separate ways. Despite their seemingly unbreakable
bond, the Crazy 8 – Rambo, Mad Dog, Vern, Fatty, Garth Garlic, Boggo,
Simon and Spud – have not kept in touch. Or at least, not as far as
Spud knows. When he receives an invitation from the school to attend
the 10 Year Reunion weekend, Spud is determined to avoid the event at
all costs, but he hasn’t reckoned with the bombardment of intrusive
messages and threatening phone calls from his former dorm mates. No one
is going to bend his arm, not this time; he is immune to peer pressure
and wise to Rambo’s devious manipulation techniques. Spud has moved on.
And, anyway, he has enough to worry about on the home front.
At 28 Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis. Reflecting on a decade
of spectacular non-achievement, at a point where he’s coming to realise
that his glittering stage career might have stalled before it’s even
begun, casts him into deep gloom. For the former scholarship kid, the
prospect of once again having to measure up to his blue-blooded school
friends – and be found wanting – has him riddled with anxiety. Not only
that. Spud still doesn’t have a serious girlfriend, which has seen him
resort to a questionable international bathsexting
relationship with an old flame. Not to mention that circumstances have
forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother,
Wombat, whose walks never end where they began.
After a wildly unsuccessful fishing trip with his father, as well as a
return to his old way of figuring things out – writing in his diary –
to his own surprise, Spud finds his reunion resistance crumbling.
Curiosity and courage win the day. It’s just a weekend, after all …
what could possibly go wrong?
