A deadly game of cat-and-mouse has them fighting to stay one step
ahead of the brilliant serial killer -- or see their fateful
romance cut short by unspeakable tragedy. Audrey Rose Wadsworth and
Thomas Cresswell have landed in America, a bold, brash land unlike
the genteel streets of London. But like London, the city of Chicago
hides its dark secrets well. When the two attend the spectacular
World's Fair, they find the once-in-a-lifetime event tainted with
reports of missing people and unsolved murders. Determined to help,
Audrey Rose and Thomas begin their investigations, only to find
themselves facing a serial killer unlike any they've encountered
before. Identifying him is one thing, but capturing him---and
getting dangerously lost in the infamous Murder Hotel he
constructed as a terrifying torture device---is another. Will
Audrey Rose and Thomas see their last mystery to the end---together
and in love---or will their fortunes finally run out when their
most depraved adversary makes one final, devastating kill?
Students at Lycroft Phelps are marked for success. As a straight-A
student and girlfriend of the school's star rower, Charlotte
believes in what the school has to offer. Meanwhile, scholarship
student Max is struggling. Until he's asked to join the rowing team
offering him popularity - but at what cost? Then there's Quinn, a
sixth-generation legacy student, who should be able to lay claim to
the school in a way others can't. Who instead must watch the boy
who assaulted her continue to play at the top of the school's food
chain. Only in the dead of night does Q realize the solution to her
suffering: Colin Pearce must die. But Lycroft Phelps has more than
one dark secret at its heart, and as the three students uncover
just how far the school will go to keep those ugly truths hidden,
there's a lot more than reputation at stake... A tense and timely
thriller with a revenge plot that'll have you on the edge of your
seat. Perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow, Chelsea Pitcher and
Louise O'Neill. (Trigger warning: this book contains descriptions
of sexual violence that some readers may find upsetting.)

it's her last chance at a better life. But, when the teens are told
that everyone there has been hand-selected because they're guilty
of taking another person's life, the game becomes real. They're all
murderers. But one of them wants revenge.
For Aiden, Chloe, Ava and Josh, holidays at their grandparents'
cottage mean wild beaches, no curfew, Bella the dog, and most of
all - adventure! The lead actress in Frost Castle's winter play is
