In this prequel to the NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING phenomenon
of TIKTOK fame, They Both Die at the End, two new strangers spend a
life-changing day together after Death-Cast make their first
fateful calls. 'If They Both Die at the End broke your heart and
put it back together again, be prepared for this novel to do the
same. A tender, sad, hopeful and youthful story that deserves as
much love as its predecessor.' Culturefly '[A] heart-pounding story
[full] of emotion and suspense.' Kirkus 'An extraordinary book with
a riveting plot.' Booklist Meet Orion and Valentino. It's the night
before Death-Cast goes live, and there's one question on everyone's
mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict death, or is it an elaborate
hoax? Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that
he's going to die, given his serious heart condition. Valentino
Prince has a long and promising future ahead of him and only
registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a
car accident. Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and
immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first End Day
calls go out, their lives are changed for ever - one of them
receives a call . . . the other doesn't. Told with acclaimed author
Adam Silvera's signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates
the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that
life is always worth living to the fullest. PRAISE FOR ADAM

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. An explosive fantasy debut that's perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential programme for bright high-schoolers at UNC – Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape – until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.
A flying demon feeding on human energies.
A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.
And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts – and fails – to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.
The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.
She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets – and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight.
It's not always easy being Death: a witty and gloriously gothic
tale of friendship and discovery from bestselling Jenni Spangler.
Twelve-year-old Valentine Crow has lived his entire life at the
Foundling Hospital. Now, he and his best friend Philomena are
leaving to begin their new lives as apprentices - but Valentine has
been assigned to Death himself. Valentine finds himself in an
impossible situation when his best friend's name appears on the
list of souls to take. Can he fight Death to save her soul, or does
fate have other ideas? Distinctive, warm and funny, the
highly-acclaimed Jenni Spangler returns with a richly imagined
world perfect for readers of The Beast and the Bethany and Lemony
Snickett.
