Seventeen-year-old Aisha hasn't seen her sister June for two years.
And now that a calamity is about to end the world in nine months'
time, she and her mother decide that it's time to track her down
and mend the hurts of the past. Along with Aisha's boyfriend,
Walter and his parents (and Fleabag the stray cat), the group take
a roadtrip through Malaysia in a wildly decorated campervan - to
put the past to rest, to come to terms with the present, and to
hope for the future.
On the glittering streets of New York is the city's worst kept secret: the mob. And Natasha Nicastro is at the centre of it all . . .
Seventeen-year-old Tasha Nicastro lives a life of glitz and glamour, but she has no idea her family harbours a dark truth.
Tasha might look like your classic high school mean girl, but behind the designer clothes is a sharpshooter who knows how to bring anyone to their knees. The only person who has ever gotten under her skin is her former best friend, Leo Danesi, the youngest son of the Nicastro family's rivals. After Leo returns to New York older and more handsome, Tasha thinks he'll be the worst of her problems - until the life she thought she knew takes a violent, shocking turn. When her father and beloved older sister are murdered before her eyes, Tasha learns the dark truth: Her family runs the most powerful Mafia branch in New York, and now she's set to inherit it all.
Tasha vows vengeance on the mysterious new mob behind the hit, but she can't do it alone. She needs someone who already knows the underground world to help track them down. And that person is none other than Leo, the heir to his own family's dangerous empire.
But Tasha is a Nicastro. She's been raised in the company of killers, and there's absolutely nothing she won't do to avenge her family. That is, if the enemy doesn't put her in gold chains first.
A stunning reimagining of Tristan and Isolde set in a dystopian world woven with magic. An incredibly addictive debut YA enemies-to-lovers romantasy.

What happens when an assassin falls in love with his target? A thrilling and fast-paced love story from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series.
There are people in this world who are Nobody. No one sees them. No one notices them. They live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away.
That's why they make perfect assassins.
The Institute finds these people when they're young and takes them away for training. But an untrained Nobody is a threat to their organization. And threats must be eliminated.
Sixteen-year-old Claire has been invisible her whole life, missed by the Institute's monitoring. But now they've ID'ed Claire and sent seventeen-year-old Nix to remove her. Yet the moment he lays eyes on her, he can't make the hit...
