A spine-chilling psychological thriller from stunning talent and
author of The Dead House, Dawn Kurtagich. Sinister and creepily
atmospheric, Dawn's second YA title is sure to grip fans of Stephen
King, Kendare Blake and Juno Dawson. When sisters Silla and Nori
escape London and their abusive father, Aunt Cath's country house
feels like a safe haven. But slowly, ever so slowly, things begin
to unravel. Aunt Cath locks herself in the attic and spends day and
night pacing. Every day the forbidden surrounding forest inches
slowly towards the house. A mysterious boy appears, offering
friendship. And Nori claims that a man watches them from the dark
forest - a man with no eyes, who creeps ever closer. . .
An emotional love story with a thrilling twist from the globally
bestselling author of The One Memory of Flora Banks. Ariel's
accidental meeting with a handsome stranger called Joe is
completely perfect; they have a connection like she's never known
before. They exchange numbers and agree to meet when he is back
from a trip to France. But when Ariel messages him, the number Joe
gave her is disconnected. He's ghosted her. She assumes she will
never see him again. Except she does. Again and again. Ariel
returns to the place she and Joe met, and is stunned to find him
there, not in France as he said he'd be, and behaving as if he has
no idea who she is. It turns out that their first meeting has been
life-changing for them both, actually it's even more than that for
Joe. But what do you do when - with every day that passes - you're
literally growing apart from the best person you've ever known . .
