The spooky, swoony YA debut from BookTok star @Merrowchild! Someone
is stripping Europe's most haunted city of its spirits. When
self-destructive, 16-year-old seer, Charlie Frith, realises that
one of his own ghostly friends has gone missing, he must put aside
his own safety - and reclusive existence - if he is to find them.
Charlie reluctantly teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in town
- and a rag-tag group of ghosts, to save their friends from a fate
literally worse than death. But there is a dark purpose behind
these disappearances - more sinister than Charlie could ever have
imagined. And, as he slowly comes to terms with his romantic
feelings for Sam, the stakes become even higher as time quickly
runs out! Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys, Becky Albertalli and V
E Schwab. #SixteenSouls has more than a-quarter-of-a-million views

Alexis is the last girl you'd expect to sell her soul. She already
has everything she needs--an adorable boyfriend, the perfect best
friend, and a little sister who's finally recovering after being
possessed by an evil spirit, then institutionalized.
Alexis is thrilled when her sister joins a club; new friends are
just what Kasey needs. It's strange, though, to see how fast the
girls in The Sunshine Club go from dorky and antisocial to gorgeous
and popular. Soon Alexis learns that the girls have pledged an oath
to a seemingly benevolent spirit named Aralt. Worried that Kasey's
in over her head again, Alexis and her best friend Megan decide to
investigate by joining the club themselves. At first, their
connection with Aralt seems harmless. Alexis trades in her pink
hair and punky clothes for a mainstream look, and quickly finds
herself reveling in her newfound elegance and success.
Instead of fighting off the supernatural, Alexis can hardly
remember why she joined in the first place. Surely it wasn't to
destroy Aralt...why would she hurt someone who has given her so
much, and asked for so little in return?
The bestselling author of Good Girls Die First is back with an
entertaining, high-octane and read-in-a-single-sitting new
thriller. Welcome to the reality game show that'll scare you to
death! Have you got what it takes to last the night? Five
contestants must sit tight through the night in dark and dangerous
Umber Gorge caves, haunted by a ghost called the Puckered Maiden.
But is it the malevolent spirit they should fear... or each other?
As the production crew ramps up the frights, secrets start to be
revealed... these teenagers have hidden motives for taking part in
It's Behind You! and could some of them be... murder? It's Most
Haunted meets I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Perfect for fans
of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus. Knife-edge tension and twists
you won't see coming...
