Video games have never been more murderous. Veronica wakes up
trapped with four strangers in a sprawling manor house in a snow
storm with a dead body, a mystery right out of an Agatha Christie
novel. It feels so real - but it isn't. This is VR and this is THE
Game; a rumoured Easter Egg hidden in other VR games that draws you
into a competition for a prize beyond your wildest dreams. And
there's no escaping the VR world until the Game is won. But while
Veronica and her fellow players are trying to figure out the
puzzle, something is not right in the VR world. Blackouts,
glitches, NPCs acting strange, and a mysterious figure haunting
their footsteps. Then when a player dies, and also dies in real
life, all hell breaks loose. Without warning, the game Veronica
thought she was playing gets overshadowed by a much darker, and
much more real, mystery: who is killing us?' It may not be a game
Veronica wanted to play, but it's one that she has to win - or die
trying.
The thrilling second book in the internationally bestselling Divergent series that inspired a series of major motion pictures starring Shailene Woodley. This special 10th anniversary edition features exclusive content from Veronica Roth and a beautiful reimagined cover art from award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai.
As war surges in the factions of dystopian Chicago all around her, Tris attempts to save those she loves – and herself – while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
In times of war sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become ever more irrevocable. Radical new discoveries and shifting relationships mean that Tris must fully embrace her Divergence – even though she cannot know what might be lost in doing so.
Bestselling author Veronica Roth's second book continues the dystopian thrill ride that began in Divergent trilogy.

The instant bestseller slick and addictive YA mystery thriller that celebrates the nuances and dramas of Nigerian family and culture, perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus.
Save the date . . . for a killer wedding!
True-crime-obsessed Lara Oyinlola is heading to Lagos for her favourite cousin, Dérin’s, wedding. It’s going to be a holiday filled with glitzy dress-fittings, glamorous parties and, of course, the star-studded event of the year.
But everything isn’t perfect in Dérin’s world. She’s been receiving anonymous threats telling her to cancel the wedding . . . or face dire consequences.
This is the moment Lara’s been waiting for: put her sleuthing knowledge to work and solve a real-life mystery. As Lara investigates, what she doesn’t expect to uncover is a web of secrets, malicious crimes, and near‑death encounters which promise to tear the family apart for good . . .
With sinister secrets, bitchy bridesmaids, annoying exes, and a gossip-loving amateur detective, this gripping mystery thriller from a standout debut author and award-nominated BookTokker will have readers hooked.
When hot "it-couple" Brad and Shelley are brutally murdered in a manor
on the edge of town, a group of teen friends investigate.
Set in Sanera, a small community in California where rumour spreads as
fast as the fire on the day of the killings, the theory is the old
ghoul who haunts the house after his own murder hundreds of years ago
has finally taken revenge.
As Cam, Jonesy, Amber and new-girl Buffy investigate, the rumour feels
closer to the truth than they ever dared think possible, and as they
enter the mansion themselves, the idea of splitting up to find evidence
will prove to be either the best ... or worst decision of all...
'n Storie oor obsessies. Arian en Estie is in Graad 11 in dieselfde skool. Na hulle op sosiale media vriende word, begin Estie vir Arian stalk: Aanlyn, en later ook in die werklikheid. Eers is hy vir haar net nog 'n misterieuse vreemdeling, maar soos wat sy hom dophou openbaar hy, onwetend, sy diepste geheime aan haar.
Maar Estie het geheime van haar eie, wat sy ten alle koste verberg, selfs toe sy en Arian later vriende word: Geheime wat haar haar enigste vriend kan kos.
