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...
HEIR OF STORMS is an epic romantasy in the style of TWIN CROWNS and early Sarah J. Maas with a touch of THE HUNGER GAMES. I am the girl who wove the storm that shook the world. And I’m coming for my crown. When Blaze came into the world, she almost drowned it. Blaze, a Rain Singer, is born into one of the most powerful fire-wielding families in the empire. Her birth summoned a devastating storm that resulted in the deaths of thousands, and she has spent her life as an outsider, reviled and feared. When Blaze and her twin brother, Flint, are selected to compete in the Choosing Rite, the trials which decide the future rulers of the empire, she’s suddenly thrust into the limelight – and into battle. Threats abound at the Golden Palace, where intrigue and romance await with not one but two handsome suitors: the enchanting Crown Prince and a dangerously alluring newcomer at court. As her powers strengthen and her fellow competitors fall, the throne is suddenly within her grasp. But in order to take the crown, she’ll have to leave behind the stories that others have told about her and find the courage to write her own.
A swoony, speculative and entirely electric YA debut with a humorous
and satirical take on the conventions of the superhero-verse, for fans
of Michelle Quach's Not Here To Be Liked and the Marvel Universe.
Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray has just been saved by the world's newest
superhero, Blaze. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing:
Jenna Ray has been cast as the Love Interest.
No. Not happening. Not if Jenna has anything to say about it (even if
Blaze is actually quite sweet and cute).
But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and
turn down this new role are thwarted when the Villains begin to take an
interest in her and offer a life-changing proposition; become Blaze's
Love Interest, while avoiding catching feelings for him, to uncover the
HPA's secret plans and find her missing mum.
To make matters even more complicated, just as Jenna starts to embrace
her new-found career, she discovers she might be more on the side of
the superheroes than she ever imagined .
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn.
With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.
What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And it might be too late to turn back . . .
Deeply seductive and irresistibly compelling, Twilight is an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page.
The long, hot summers spent on Fire Island have always been the
highlight of the year for sisters Riley and Alice. Not least
because it is there that they always see Paul: their next-door
neighbour, Riley's best friend in all the world, and the only boy
Alice has ever loved. Then Paul goes to university, and he leaves
them both behind him. Three years later, as Alice prepares to start
Law School, Paul returns. The trick, he tells himself, is to have
what he had without destroying it. But their world will change
irresistibly, wonderfully and tragically, with every breath they
take.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse (Riverdale's Jughead) and Haley Lu Richardson (The Edge of Seventeen)!
In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can’t get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives. Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control - even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
While Cinder dreams of a girl with eyes the colour of the sea,
Princess Ella longs for something she cannot yet imagine. When the
two girls meet, their hearts are filled with joy, but what will
happen when the clock strikes midnight? With one family being a
source of encouragement, the other determined to crush all attempts
at happiness, the odds are firmly stacked against our heroes. Yet
with the power of love and strength, hope prevails. The result is a
richly purposeful and inspirational, tale where girl meets girl and
love faces adversity. Will Cinder and Ella find their happily ever
after?
Tom and Hester's daughter, Wren, longs to escape the peace of
static Anchorage. She craves the dangerous adventures her parents
once had - and a charming submarine pirate is ready to take her to
sea. But the mysterious object that she steals for him ignites a
conflict that will tear the whole world apart...
Lara Jean keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her.
One for every boy she's ever loved. When she writes, she can pour
out her heart and soul and say all the things she would never say
in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only.Until the
day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly Lara Jean's love
life goes from imaginary to out of control.
