FIVE WOMEN ARE DEAD. The killer leaves no fingerprints, no DNA. Police
are utterly stumped. In a world where only women can use magic and the
men who know about it seek to eradicate them, three damaged young women
- one cursed, one hunted, one out for revenge - will team up to track
down and take out a brutal supernatural killer.
Jude Wolf is rich as sin and handsome as the devil. But she's also
cursed. Her immortal soul is tethered to a rather hateful demon - and
she wants the hell out of the deal. What Jude needs is a cursewriter -
and she thinks the string of dead women, all of whom she suspects are
messing with the occult, might just be able to lead her to one.
Zara Jones has also been tracking the murders since they began. Her
older sister was the killer's first victim. Zara doesn't just want
revenge, she wants to find a way to bring her sister back. What Zara
needs is a witch, a sorcerer, a necromancer - in fact, what Zara needs
is a cursewriter. At the apartment of the fifth victim, Jude and Zara
meet by chance, and there they find a clue that brings their paths
crashing together: a strange business card bearing three words. Emer
Byrne. Cursewriter.
The Hollow sisters - Vivi, Grey and Iris - are as seductively glamorous
as they are mysterious. They have black eyes and hair as white as milk.
The Hollow sisters don't have friends - they don't need them. They move
through the corridors like sharks, the other little fish parting around
them, whispering behind their backs.
And everyone knows who the Hollow sisters are. Because one day the
three Hollow sisters simply disappeared. And when they came back, one
month later, with no memory of where they had been, it was as if
nothing had changed. Almost nothing, Apart from, for example, the
little scar that had appeared in the hollow of their throats ... and a
whispering sense that something is not quite right about them, despite
(or maybe because of) the terrible passion to be with them that they
can exert on anybody at will...
A thrilling, twisting, novel that is as seductive and glamorous as the
Hollow sisters themselves....

Lockhart. Henry Page, a hopeless romantic and film buff, is smitten

over. And when Henry and Grace are both offered positions as
editors of their high school newspaper, the mystery of Grace begins
to captivate him. Why does she visit a graveyard every afternoon?
What secret does she keep locked away in her bedroom? Above all,
why is Grace Town so deeply sad? Before he knows it, Henry is sure
that he is the one to unlock her happiness. But Grace is

particular love story.
A funny, moving love story about facing fears hand in hand - one snake/spider/potentially unstable fourth-floor balcony at a time. From acclaimed author of OUR CHEMICAL HEARTS, Krystal Sutherland.
Esther Solar's family is . . . unusual. Her father hasn't left the basement in six years. Her brother is terrified of darkness.
Esther isn't afraid of anything - because she avoids pretty much everything. Elevators are off limits, as are open spaces, crowds, family pets, birds, needles, haircuts, dolls and mirrors.
But when Esther is pickpocketed by her cocky old classmate Jonah Walker, Esther and Jonah become surprising friends. Jonah sets a challenge: every week they must work their way through the world's fifty most common phobias. Skydiving, horse riding, beekeeping, public speaking, reptilehouses - they plan to do it all.
Soon their weekly foray into fear becomes the only thing that keeps them tethered to reality, and to each other. But each is keeping a secret from the other, a secret that threatens to rip them apart.
From the author of New York Times bestseller House of Hollow comes
a darkly seductive witchy thriller where, though both men and
demons lurk in shadows, girls refuse to go quietly into the night.
Three girls, one supernatural killer on the loose . . . Zara Jones
believes in magic because the alternative is too painful to
consider—that her murdered sister is gone forever and there is
nothing she can do about it. Rather than grieving and moving on,
Zara decides she will do whatever it takes to claw her sister back
from the grave—even trading in the occult. Jude Wolf may be the
daughter of a billionaire, but she is also undeniably cursed. After
a deal with a demon went horribly wrong, her soul has been slowly
turning necrotic. It’s a miserable existence marred by pain,
sickness, and monstrous things that taunt her in the night. Now
that she’s glimpsed what’s beyond the veil, Jude’s desperate
to find someone to undo the damage she’s done to herself. Enter
Emer Byrne, an orphaned witch with a dark past and a deadly power,
a.k.a. the solution to both Zara’s and Jude’s problems. Though
Emer lives a hardscrabble life, she gives away her most valuable
asset—her invocations—to women in desperate situations who are
willing to sacrifice a piece of their soul in exchange for a scrap
of power. Zara and Jude are willing, but they first have to find
Emer. When Emer’s clients start turning up dead all over London,
a vital clue leads Zara and Jude right to her. If a serial killer
is targeting her clients, Emer wants to know why—and to stop
them. She strikes a tenuous alliance with Zara and Jude to hunt a
killer before they are next on his list, even if she can’t give
them in return what Zara and Jude want most: a sister and a soul.
