Good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul.'
- The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis
Stevenson. Harleen Quinzel is many things, a gymnast, anxious,
broke...but the last thing anyone would call her is evil. Harley
Quinn on the other hand... When Harleen signs up to participate in
a clinical research trial with her girlfriend, Pamela, the most she
can hope for is extra cash in her wallet and a chance to get her
anxiety under control. But what she gets instead are increasingly
larger gaps in her memory and stolen mementos from some guy named
Jack she's never met. Soon, Harleen discovers she's sharing her
life with Harley-a take-no-prisoners, who-cares-about attendance,
maybe-we-oughtta-save-the-bunnies kind of girl. She is the opposite
of Harleen in many ways. She is anarchy in a cute dress. And
although she's throwing Harleen's life completely off track, maybe
she ain't so bad either... New York Times bestselling author of
Wicked Lovely, Melissa Marr, teams up with celebrated artist Jenn
St-Onge to tell the story of a girl who will learn good and evil
are not black and white (and red)...as long as she doesn't get
caught.
Return to the world of Melissa Marr's bestselling series and
discover how the events of Wicked Lovely set a different faery tale
in motion. . . . Originally presented as a manga series and now
available for the first time as a stand-alone novel, Desert Tales
combines tentative romance, outward strength, and inner resolve in
a faery story of desert and destiny.
The Mojave Desert was a million miles away from the plots and
schemes of the Faerie Courts--and that's exactly why Rika chose it
as her home. The once-mortal faery retreated to the desert's
isolation after decades of carrying winter's curse inside her body.
But her seclusion--and the freedom of the desert fey--is threatened
by the Summer King's newfound strength. And when the manipulations
of her trickster friend, Sionnach, thrust Rika into a new romance,
she finds new power within herself--and a new desire to help
Sionnach protect the desert fey and mortals alike. The time for
hiding is over.
The world is gone, destroyed by human, ecological, or supernatural
causes. Survivors dodge chemical warfare and cruel gods; they
travel the reaches of space and inhabit underground caverns. Their
enemies are disease, corrupt corporations, and one another; their
resources are few, and their courage is tested. Powerful, original
dystopian tales from nine bestselling authors offer bleak insight,
prophetic visions, and precious glimmers of light among the shards
and ashes of a ruined world. Stories from: Kelley Armstrong Rachel
Caine Kami Garcia Nancy Holder Melissa Marr Beth Revis Veronica
Roth Carrie Ryan Margaret Stohl
Following in the tradition of Kristen Ashley, Joanna Wilde, and Jay
Crownover, this first novel in a sexy, dark New Adult series tells
the thrilling story of a young woman who finds herself drawn to a
Southern motorcycle club's inner circle-and a dangerously hot
biker. Aubrey Evans needs to get her life back on track after her
father is indicted for embezzlement. She'll save college tuition
money, hightail it out of small-town Tennessee, and steer clear of
hard-muscled boys on motorcycles. Yet there's no ignoring someone
like Zion. A knight in black leather, Zion looks like every bad
idea she's been told to avoid, but she can't resist him. Whenever
she's in trouble, he's there. Appealing as his rough exterior may
be, it's the protective, principled man beneath that tempts her
like crazy. Zion knows Aubrey doesn't intend to stick around. She
claims to want only friendship, but he senses there's a naughty
girl hiding on the inside-one whose intense desires match his own.
For now, he'll be patient and play by her rules. Though he knows
it's just a matter of time before he weakens her resolve. As they
join forces to figure out who's behind a local crime spree, it's
clear that the danger goes deeper than Aubrey guessed. And when she
needs someone tall, dark, and undaunted to keep her safe, Zion
intends to be there-now and always.
The Arrivals is the second novel for adults by internationally
bestselling author Melissa Marr.
Chloe walks into a bar and blows five years of sobriety. When
she wakes, she finds herself in an unfamiliar world, The Wasteland.
She discovers people from all times and places have also arrived
there: Kitty and Jack, a brother and sister from the Wild West;
Edgar, a prohibition bootlegger; Francis, a one-time hippie;
Melody, a mentally unbalanced 1950s housewife; and Hector, a former
carnival artist.
None know why they arrived there--or if there is way out of a
world populated by monsters and filled with corruption.
Just as she did in Graveminder, Marr has created a vivid fantasy
world that will enthrall. Melissa Marr's The Arrivals is a
thoroughly original and wildly imagined tale about making choices
in a life where death is unpredictable and often temporary.
The book includes a P.S. section with extra material from the
author and a bonus story exclusive to this paperback edition.

"The runes have spoken. We have our champion...Matthew Thorsen."
Matt hears the words, but he can't believe them. He's Thor's
representative? Destined to fight trolls, monstrous wolves and
giant serpents...or the world ends? He's only thirteen.
While Matt knew he was a modern-day descendent of Thor, he's always
lived a normal kid's life. In fact, most people in the small town
of Blackwell, South Dakota, are direct descendants of either Thor
or Loki, including Matt's classmates Fen and Laurie Brekke. No big
deal.
But now Ragnarok is coming, and it's up to the champions to fight
in the place of the long-dead gods. Matt, Laurie, and Fen's lives
will never be the same as they race to put together an unstoppable
team, find Thor's hammer and shield, and prevent the end of the
world.
In their middle grade debut, K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr begin the
epic Blackwell Pages series with this action-packed adventure,
filled with larger-than-life legends, gripping battles, and an
engaging cast of characters who bring the myths to life.

grow closer, a larger threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will
saving the faery realm mean losing each other?
