PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN... AN EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF GRACE AND FURY

" A riveting thriller packed with so many chills and swoon-worthy moments, readers will be tearing through the pages." ―Natalie C. Parker, award winning author of the Seafire Series

"A chilling cat-and-mouse game." ―April Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Stolen and Stay Dead

Jessa has been raised to be the "perfect girl." She is unfailingly polite, never rocks the boat, and always follows the rules--no matter what. Her friends love to give her a hard time for being such a goody two-shoes, but Jessa likes it this way. She knows what's expected of her, and she's happy to be the person her parents (and society) want.

When a freak storm takes out the power during a sleepover at Jessa's creepy, old house, things go south before the pizza gets cold. Her friends are at each other's throats, unexpected guests keep showing up (some more welcome than others), and it's not just her brother serving up jump scares. A killer looking for the perfect girl has targeted Jessa, and she'll have to reject everything she's been taught if she wants to keep herself--and her friends--alive until sunrise.

Who knew perfection could be so dangerous?

How would you cope if you lost everything?

Fifteen-year-old Ruth has spent half her life trying to be the girl the commune demanded-quiet, obedient, rule-bound. But when a devastating fire leaves her the sole survivor of the only life she's known, everything she's been trained to believe collapses with the flames. Orphaned, uprooted, and suddenly thrust back into the "real world," Ruth is taken in by a grandmother she barely remembers. But as she tries to navigate the ridicule of her peers and a grief too big to name, something unexpected begins to stir.

Before she was Ruth, she was Zoe-a bold, fearless girl who vanished when her parents decided to flee Montana for an isolated life in the Idaho hills. Now, fragments of Zoe return, pulling her toward the truth of who she used to be... and who she might become.

Caught between two identities-one forged in fear, the other in fire-Ruth must decide whether it's safer to stay hidden... or brave enough to rise again as Zoe.

A gripping, emotional story of survival, identity, and reclaiming your voice after everything has been taken.

As her classmates post about her on social media, assigning judgment and blame, she falls into a spiral of self doubt and denial and can't hold it all together anymore. Instead of facing the truth, she runs away. It is through music, memory, and the kindness of strangers that Indie learns to face what happened, and to redefine who she is now: a survivor who won't be silenced.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After the cliffhanger ending of the successful Las cadenas del rey (The King's Chains), the third installment of the Saga Rey returns with the most powerful royal romance on the continent.

Inside the fortress of the Lacrontte palace lives a man scarred by past wounds and the secrets of his lineage. His heart beats for a woman who does not fit into the kingdom's plans or the demands of the nobility... and who cannot forgive him. To love her means risking the stability of a nation. To deny her would be to condemn himself to a soulless life.

Emily never dreamed of wearing the crown of the enemy kingdom upon her head, but fate drags her into the center of a world ruled by intrigue, hidden alliances, and emotions that test her courage. She knows that loving the king she was taught to hate means risking everything, even her own safety. Yet she also discovers in that love a strength she never thought she had.

Together they must face a people who hunt their love as a crime, pushing them into an abyss that will force their hearts to merge into one to withstand the storm that threatens to break them.

In the year 2438, eleven-year-old Jesse Darris leaves everything she knows behind-Earth, school, safety-for the alien frontier of a distant planet. Alongside her parents, twin brother, and little sister, Jesse journeys 300 million miles to Migourt, her father lured by dreams of prosperity from legendary Quartz mines. But what they find isn't a boomtown-it's a broken promise: a barren settlement on the edge of survival, where hope is as rare as clean water.
When tragedy strikes and her sister is gravely injured, Jesse's world shatters. Desperate for food and medicine that could save her, her mother makes a heartbreaking decision-selling Jesse into labor at the alien Trianic mines. There, deep beneath the surface of an alien world, Jesse uncovers an extraordinary gift: she alone can withstand the powerful, mind-rattling vibrations of the Trianic crystals, revered by the native Migs.
But power is never simple.
As tensions rise and war brews between the Migs and Earth's encroaching forces, Jesse is thrust into a battle not just for survival-but for identity, purpose, and freedom. With the fate of her family and the planet hanging in the balance, Jesse must choose: stay quiet and safe, or rise and become something more than she ever imagined.
Resettlement is the gripping first novel in the Dragonfly of the Gourts series-a sweeping tale of resilience, discovery, and one girl's quest to find her place in a fractured galaxy.
