WESTWORLD meets CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY meets JURASSIC
PARK, as kids win a chance to enter the place of their dreams --
and find that it quickly turns into a nightmare. It's all anyone
talks about, and it's all Cody dreams about. It's the biggest
adventure park in the world, and it's more than mere rides and
rollercoasters: At ESCAPE, you can do anything you want, be anyone
you want, and there are no adults to tell you no. Cody's a nobody,
but for some reason he receives an invitation and the opportunity
of a lifetime. At first, it's the most fun he's ever had. But after
a few days, everything in the park starts to go haywire. One at a
time, rides malfunction. Simulations turn deadly. His fantasy world
glitches, and the games become races for survival. A voice comes
over the intercoms, then-ESCAPE was never a theme park for the rich
and famous. It was a place for punishment. They have less than a
week to escape from the park before it floods. Only five kids will
be allowed to leave. It started out as a fight to get to the
coolest rides. Now, they have to fight to survive.

NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 'AN INTENSE AND BROODING THRILLER
' - THE OBSERVER A intensely romantic and atmospheric thriller for
young adults, full of twists and turns with a simmering
supernatural undercurrent. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson, Karen
McManus and Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing When
seventeen-year-old Grey makes her annual visit to La Cachette,
Louisiana - the tiny bayou town that proclaims to be the "Psychic
Capital of the World" - she knows it will be different from past
years: her childhood best friend Elora went missing several months
earlier and no one is telling the truth about the night she
disappears. Grey can't believe that Elora vanished into thin air
any more than she can believe that nobody in a town full of
psychics knows what happened. But as she digs into the night that
Elora went missing, she begins to realize that everybody in town is
hiding something-her grandmother Honey; her childhood crush Hart;
and even her late mother, whose secrets continue to call to Grey
from beyond the grave. When a mysterious stranger emerges from the
bayou - a stormy-eyed boy with links to Elora and the town's bloody
history - Grey realizes that La Cachette's past is far more present
and dangerous than she'd ever understood. She doesn't know who she
can trust. In a town where secrets lurk just below the surface, and
where a murderer is on the loose, nobody can be presumed
innocent-and La Cachette's dark and shallow lies may just rip the
town apart.
When Septimus inherits a magical, treasure-finding Hairy Hand from
his uncle, life suddenly becomes a lot more exciting - and
dangerous!
Welcome to the most gripping thriller of the year: hugely
entertaining, high-octane and read-in-a-single-sitting. Mind games.
Murder. Mayhem. How far would you go to survive the night?

None and films like I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Two friends decide to sneak into an abandoned science laboratory to

security guards patrol the grounds. Even stranger, almost all of
the doors inside are locked. And they keep hearing an eerie,

realize that the place is more like a labyrinth than a laboratory -
and like most labyrinths, this maze has a monster waiting at the
finish line . . .

only supposed to be in rural Hillwoods for a year. Her grandmother
is in hospice, and her father needs to get her affairs in order.
And they're all meant to make some final memories together. Except
Bronwyn is miserable. Her grandmother is dying, everyone is
standoffish, and she can't even go swimming. All she hears are
warnings about going in the water, despite a gorgeous lake. And a
pool at the abandoned rec center. And another in the high school
basement. Anais tries her hardest to protect Bronwyn from the
shadows of Hillwoods. She follows her own rituals to avoid any
unnecessary attention-and if she can just get Bronwyn to stop
asking questions, she can protect her too. The less Bronwyn pays
attention to Hillwoods, the less Hillwoods will pay attention to
Bronwyn. She doesn't get that the lore is, well, truth. History.
Pain. The living aren't the only ones who seek retribution when
they're wronged. But when Bronwyn does more exploring than she
should, they are both in for danger they couldn't expect.
