'A deliciously twisted gothic fantasy you'll want to read again and
again, with characters you'll adore, prose that'll spellbind you,
romance you'll swoon over, and a mystery that'll keep you guessing
until the last stunning twist' Diana Urban, author of These Deadly
Games Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to
control: she's a portrait artist whose paintings alter people's
bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger
sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night,
the governor's wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose
Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would
resurrect the governor's dead son. Once she arrives at the
legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy's death
was no accident. A killer stalks these halls - one disturbingly
obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as
quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor's older son for
help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life
concealing makes her the killer's next victim. 'A heady blend of
the fantastical, the murderous, and the romantic' Kirkus Reviews,
STARRED review 'Marvelously magical and steeping with mystery'
Adalyn Grace, author of All the Stars and Teeth
We Free the Stars is the epic sequel to the smash New York Times-bestselling We Hunt the Flame, by the masterful Hafsah Faizal. Lush, hopeful and devestating, this is the spellbinding conclusion to the Sands of Arawiya duology, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone series.
Darkness surged in his veins. Power bled from her bones.
The battle is over, but the war is just beginning. Low on resources and allies alike, Zafira and Nasir are determined to finish their mission; to restore magic to their kingdom.
But the land teems with the return of an ancient evil, and as Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood, Zafira battles a very different darkness. And yet, in spite of everything, they find themselves falling into a love they can't stand to lose.
Time is running out and if order is to be restored, sacrifices will have to be made . . .
One of the world's biggest boy bands. A secret love. What happens if
the world finds out? A queer YA boy band romance from Sophie Gonzales
and Cale Dietrich, perfect for fans of Only Mostly Devastated and What
If It's Us.
Eighteen-year-olds Ruben Montez and Zach Knight are two members of the
boy-band Saturday, one of the biggest acts in America. Along with their
bandmates, Angel Phan and Jon Braxton, the four are teen heartbreakers
in front of the cameras and best friends backstage. But privately,
cracks are starting to form: their once-easy rapport is straining under
the pressures of fame, and Ruben confides in Zach that he's feeling
smothered by management's pressure to stay in the closet.
On a whirlwind tour through Europe, with both an unrelenting schedule
and minimal supervision, Ruben and Zach come to rely on each other more
and more, and their already close friendship evolves into a romance.
But when they decide they're ready to tell their fans and live freely,
Zach and Ruben start to truly realize that they will never have the
support of their management. How can they hold tight to each other when
the whole world seems to want to come between them?
To All the Boys I've Loved Before meets Pride and Prejudice in this
swoony and thoughtful romantic comedy from debut author Priyanka
Taslim. Zahra Khan is basically Bangladeshi royalty - but being a
princess doesn't pay the bills in New Jersey. While Zahra plans to
save money for college by working through the summer at a tea shop,
her meddling mum is convinced that a "good match" in marriage will
solve their family's financial woes. Enter Harun Emon, the wealthy,
devastatingly handsome and . . . aloof boy Zahra is set up with. As
soon as they meet, Zahra and Harun both know it's not going to
work. It's nothing like the connection she has with Nayim Aktar,
the new dishwasher at the tea shop, who just gets her in a way no
one has before. Deciding to slowly sabotage their parents' plans,
Zahra and Harun pretend to date, while Zahra explores her feelings
for Nayim. For once in Zahra's life, she can have her rossomalai
and eat it too. But life - and boys - can be a royal pain. With her
feelings all mixed up, will Zahra be a good Bengali kid or can she
find her one true love match? Perfect for fans of Jenny Han,
Sandhya Menon, Emma Lord and Beth O'Leary.
Evil always seeks a foothold. We must not give it one. The
electrifying conclusion to the New York Times and Indiebound
bestselling Serpent & Dove trilogy is perfect for fans of Sarah
J. Maas and Kendare Blake. Lou has spent her whole life running.
Now, after a crushing blow from Morgane, the time has come to go
home-and claim what is rightfully hers. But this is no longer the
Lou her friends knew. No longer the Lou who captured a chasseur's
heart. A darkness has settled over her, and this time it will take
more than love to drive it out. From Serpent & Dove to Blood
& Honey and concluding with Gods & Monsters, Shelby
Mahurin's stunning fantasy trilogy delivers thrills and romance.
