Dustin Thao: ‘Als je Hallo, met Sam verdrietig vond, dan ben je nog niet klaar voor deze…’ Na de dood van zijn vriend bedenkt Eric Ly allerlei scenario’s in zijn hoofd om met zijn verdriet om te kunnen gaan. Totdat een ervan werkelijkheid wordt. Een jongen die hij afgelopen zomer in Japan heeft ontmoet, komt onverwacht terug in zijn leven. Haru Tanaka loopt het café binnen waar Eric koffie zit te drinken en gaat naast hem zitten. Het vreemde is alleen dat niemand anders hem kan zien en dat hij telkens plotseling verdwijnt. Naarmate ze vaker samen zijn, vraagt Eric zich af wat echt is. Wanneer hij de controle verliest over datgene wat hen bij elkaar houdt, moet hij de werkelijkheid onder ogen zien. Zelfs als dat betekent dat hij Haru kwijt raakt.

Après la mort de son meilleur ami, Éric Ly s’invente mille et un scénarios pour surmonter cette épreuve. L’un d’eux devient réalité lorsqu’un garçon rencontré l’été précédent au Japon débarque dans sa vie : au moment où Éric s’y attend le moins, Haru Tanaka entre dans le même café que lui et s’installe à ses côtés. Seulement voilà, personne d’autre qu’Éric ne peut voir Haru. Sans avoir le temps de prendre conscience de ce qui lui arrive, Éric se lie d’amitié avec Haru, dont la présence est suffisamment forte pour combler peu à peu l’absence et le manque qu’il croyait ressentir à jamais. Mais alors que les deux garçons passent de plus en plus de temps ensemble, Éric commence à remettre en question ce qui est réel, puis à perdre le contrôle du lien qui le maintient à son nouvel ami. Parviendra-t-il à affronter sa propre réalité, même si cela signifie perdre Haru pour toujours ?

Come per magia, i due si ritrovano in un caffè a Chicago, e riprendono a chiacchierare come se si fossero salutati solo il giorno prima. Il problema è che nessun altro a parte Eric sembra in grado di vedere Haru. Ma non importa: finalmente Eric ha accanto qualcuno che tiene a lui, e smette di sentirsi solo al mondo, appoggiandosi ai preziosi momenti che condivide con Haru, che per lui sono un rifugio nella tempesta. Ma man mano che il tempo passa, Eric inizia a mettere in dubbio cosa sia reale e cosa no. Troverà il coraggio di superare la tristezza e riprendere a vivere davvero, anche a rischio di perdere l’amore, e Haru, per sempre?

Antes de ser la reina de la tierra de las hadas, fue una joven hada que tuvo que elegir entre el deber y su corazón… Hace siglos que un hada cálida no cruza hacia el Bosque del Invierno. Y, aunque la mayoría teme a las leyendas sobre los monstruos que acechan en esas tierras heladas, Clarion no puede evitar sentirse fascinada por la estoica belleza del invierno. Sin embargo, bajo la atenta mirada de la monarca actual y los ministros estacionales de la corte, Clarion tiene poco tiempo para perderse en ensoñaciones mientras los días hasta su coronación vuelan. Eso cambia cuando llegan informes al palacio sobre un monstruo que ha cruzado del invierno a la primavera. Clarion cree que derrotar esta amenaza le dará la oportunidad de demostrar que es digna de su nuevo rol. Pero en el límite del invierno, en lugar de encontrar un monstruo encuentra a Milori, el joven custodio del Bosque del Invierno. Juntos, forman un vínculo inesperado mientras luchan por salvar sus tierras.

Au royaume du Brunnestaad, pays d’eaux profondes hantées par d’étranges créatures, Lorelei Kaskel, issue d’une communauté marginalisée, cherche à s’émanciper grâce à ses études de folkloriste. Lorsque le roi ordonne une expédition afin de découvrir la légendaire source de toute magie, elle y voit la chance de faire ses preuves et de réaliser son rêve le plus fou : devenir naturaliste, libre de voyager dans les contrées qu’elle ne connaît que par les livres. Elle part donc en compagnie de cinq autres étudiants, autant de nobles arrogants qui lui vouent un mépris teinté de méfiance. Mais à peine le voyage commencé, se produit un crime politique dont l’auteur se cache parmi les passagers. Pire encore, Lorelei est contrainte de faire équipe avec la personne qui l’insupporte le plus au monde : sa brillante et trop belle rivale, Sylvia von Wolff, pour laquelle elle éprouve une haine aussi vive qu’ambiguë.

Lorelei Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and an even quicker wit, is on an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a fabled spring. The magical spring promises untold power, which the king wants to harness in order to secure his reign over the embattled country of Brunnestaad. Lorelei is determined to use this opportunity to prove herself and make her wildest, most impossible dream come true: to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to lands she’s only read about. The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader–Lorelei’s beloved mentor–is murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are the five remaining expedition mates, each with their own motive. The only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her longtime academic rival, the insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia von Wolff. Now in charge of the expedition, Lorelei must find the spring before the murderer strikes again–and a coup begins in earnest. But there are other dangers lurking in the dark: forests that rearrange themselves at night, rivers with slumbering dragons hiding beneath the water, and shapeshifting beasts out for blood. As Lorelei and Sylvia grudgingly work together to uncover the truth–and resist their growing feelings for each other–they discover that their leader had secrets of her own. Secrets that make Lorelei question whether justice is worth pursuing, and if this kingdom is worth saving at all.

Descubra as origens do romance entre a rainha do Refúgio das Fadas e o senhor do Bosque do Inverno Séculos se passaram desde a última vez que uma fada das estações quentes no Refúgio das Fadas cruzou a fronteira para o Bosque do Inverno, e enquanto a maioria teme as lendas de monstros espreitando nas terras congeladas, Clarion não consegue deixar de ficar fascinada pela beleza do Inverno. Mas sob os olhos atentos da atual monarca e dos Ministros das Estações da corte, Clarion tem pouco tempo para devaneios enquanto o dia de sua coroação se aproxima. Isto é, até que relatos de um monstro que pode assolar a Primavera vindo do Inverno chegam ao palácio. Derrotar essa ameaça é algo que Clarion vislumbra como uma oportunidade de provar que é digna de seu novo papel. Mas, em vez de encontrar um monstro na fronteira do Inverno, ela se depara com Milori, um jovem guardião do Bosque do Inverno. Juntos, eles criam um vínculo improvável enquanto correm para salvar seus respectivos reinos. No entanto, à medida que a aliança entre ambos evolui para algo mais, eles descobrirão que há uma razão pela qual fadas das estações quentes e do inverno não devem se misturar. E o preço disso pode ser tão mortal quanto os monstros que rondam o Bosque do Inverno.

Alors que la Chasse approche, ils vont découvrir une magie noire susceptible de leur offrir la victoire… à condition de réussir à survivre jusque-là. « Un mélange envoûtant de romance et de magie. » Kirkus Reviews « Allison Saft va vous entraîner dans une histoire d’amour absolument vertigineuse. » Chloe Gong, autrice best-seller de These Violent Delights

Margaret Welty sabe que la Cacería de Medialuna está por iniciar cuando descubre al legendario hala. Esta criatura mítica es considerada como demonio por el pueblo de la iglesia katarista y como emisora del conocimiento por la comunidad yu’adir; quien logre capturarla será recompensado con fama y riqueza, y liberará una antigua magia secreta. Aunque ella es la mejor cazadora del pueblo, necesita a un alquimista para poder registrarse en la cacería, pues solo se aceptan parejas. Weston Winters no es un alquimista, al menos no todavía. Ha sido rechazado en sus últimos intentos como aprendiz. Su última oportunidad es la legendaria maestra Evelyn Welty. No obstante, cuando llega a la mansión Welty, se encuentra con Margaret, quien permite que se quede con la condición de unirse a ella para poder participar en la cacería. Ambos forman una pareja peculiar. Entre los problemas que implican ser repudiados por el pueblo y los deseos de ambos por impresionar a Evelyn Welty, terminan volviéndose más cercanos de lo que hubieran imaginado.

A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten. Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AN INSTANT INDIE BESTSELLER ONE OF 2022’S MOST ANTICIPATED READS: * BUZZFEED * EPIC READS * GOODREADS * THE NERD DAILY * UNITED BY POP * “An utterly transportive read, unfolding into a world of crumbling manors and ancient forests. Allison Saft crafts a deliberate, intricate romance that will have you as unmoored as the characters.” —Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights A romantic YA fantasy perfect for fans of Erin A. Craig and Margaret Rogerson, about two people who find themselves competing for glory—and each other’s hearts—in a magical fox hunt. When Margaret Welty spots the legendary hala, the last living mythical creature, she knows the Halfmoon Hunt will soon follow. Whoever is able to kill the hala will earn fame and riches, and unlock an ancient magical secret. While Margaret is the best sharpshooter in town, only teams of two can register, and she needs an alchemist. Weston Winters isn’t an alchemist—yet. He’s been fired from every apprenticeship he’s landed, and his last chance hinges on Master Welty taking him in. But when Wes arrives at Welty Manor, he finds only Margaret. She begrudgingly allows him to stay, but on one condition: he must join the hunt with her. Although they make an unlikely team, they soon find themselves drawn to each other. As the hunt looms closer and tensions rise, Margaret and Wes uncover dark magic that could be the key to winning the hunt—if they survive that long. In A Far Wilder Magic, Allison Saft has written an achingly tender love story set against a deadly hunt in an atmospheric, rich fantasy world that will sweep you away. “Innovative, romantic, and intoxicating. A Far Wilder Magic is a diamond of the YA fantasy genre, with a fresh and artfully layered world and extraordinary characters to match.” —Amanda Foody, author of Ace of Shades

“A YA fantasy classic in the making.” – Christine Lynn Herman, author of The Devouring Gray “Fans of Leigh Bardugo’s “Grisha Trilogy” and Marie Rutkoski’s “Winner’s Trilogy” have been waiting for this Darkling-esque romance…” – School Library Journal (Starred Review) New York Times bestselling author Allison Saft’s Down Comes the Night is a snow-drenched romantic fantasy that keeps you racing through the pages long into the night. He saw the darkness in her magic. She saw the magic in his darkness. Wren Southerland’s reckless use of magic has cost her everything: she’s been dismissed from the Queen’s Guard and separated from her best friend—the girl she loves. So when a letter arrives from a reclusive lord, asking Wren to come to his estate, Colwick Hall, to cure his servant from a mysterious illness, she seizes her chance to redeem herself. The mansion is crumbling, icy winds haunt the caved-in halls, and her eccentric host forbids her from leaving her room after dark. Worse, Wren’s patient isn’t a servant at all but Hal Cavendish, the infamous Reaper of Vesria and her kingdom’s sworn enemy. Hal also came to Colwick Hall for redemption, but the secrets in the estate may lead to both of their deaths. With sinister forces at work, Wren and Hal realize they’ll have to join together if they have any hope of saving their kingdoms. But as Wren circles closer to the nefarious truth behind Hal’s illness, they realize they have no escape from the monsters within the mansion. All they have is each other, and a startling desire that could be their downfall. Love makes monsters of us all

„Profund romantică și absolut magică.“ – Kirkus Reviews Când Margaret Welty o descoperă pe legendara hala, ultima creatură mitică în viață, știe că va urma curând Vânătoarea Semilunii. Oricine este capabil să omoare hala va câștiga faimă și bogății și va descifra un secret magic străvechi. Margaret este cea mai bună trăgătoare de elită din oraș, însă la vânătoare pot participa doar echipe de doi, iar ea are nevoie de un alchimist. Weston Winters nu este alchimist — nu încă. Nu a rezistat niciuneia dintre perioadele de ucenicie pe care le-a încercat, iar ultima lui șansă depinde de decizia Maestrei Welty de a-l accepta. Dar când Wes ajunge la conacul Welty, o găsește doar pe Margaret. Cu mari rezerve, fata îi permite să rămână, cu o condiție: să participe la vânătoare împreună cu ea. Deși formează o echipă cam șubredă, în curând cei doi sunt atrași unul de celălalt. Pe măsură ce vânătoarea se apropie și tensiunile cresc, Margaret și Wes descoperă magia neagră care i-ar putea ajuta să câștige competiția — dacă reușesc să supraviețuiască. O magie de neîmblânzit este o poveste de dragoste dureros de tandră, desfășurată în condițiile unei vânători ucigașe, în atmosfera unei lumi fantastice care vă va cuceri. „Povestea de dragoste care se înfiripă între Wes și Margaret este subtilă și convingătoare, iar proza lui Saft — vie și plină de umor. Fanii romanului Regatul Umbrelor (Trilogia Grisha) al lui Leigh Bardugo vor savura probabil acest romantism sincer și evocator.“ – Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books „O lectură absolut entuziasmantă, care se desfășoară într-o lume a conacelor în ruină și a pădurilor străvechi. Allison Saft creează o poveste de dragoste complexă care va descătușa personajele, dar și imaginația dumneavoastră.“ – Chloe Gong, autoarea bestsellerului aceste patimi zbuciumate „O magie de neîmblânzit vă va umple sufletul cu imagini înfățișând păduri neguroase, conace victoriene în ruină și criptide argintii fosfores¬cente… Există în acest roman câte ceva pentru fiecare, fiind o lectură obligatorie pentru fanii literaturii gotice, literaturii fantasy naturale și YA fantasy deopotrivă.“ – BookTrib Allison Saft este autoare de bestsellere fantasy încă de la prima sa carte, Down Comes the Night. După ce și-a luat masteratul în literatură engleză la Tulane University, s-a mutat de pe Coasta Golfului pe Coasta de Vest, unde își petrece timpul făcând drumeții în pădurile de sequoia și practicând dansul acrobatic aerian. De aceeași autoare, în 2024 vor apărea A Fragile Enchantment și A Dark and Drowning Tide.

But there’s one test she’s never quite been able to ace: love.

What happens next will change everything Caro thought she knew about chemistry – in the lab and in love. Is hot guy Haruki with her of his own free will?

“Laura Steven simultaneously destroyed the patriarchy and made me laugh so hard I choked. I will protect Izzy O’Neill with my life.” —Becky Albertalli, author of SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA Bitingly funny and shockingly relevant, The Exact Opposite of Okay is a bold, brave, and necessary read for fans of Louise O’Neill and Jennifer Mathieu. Eighteen-year-old Izzy O’Neill knows exactly who she is—a loyal friend, an aspiring comedian, and a person who believes that milk shakes and Reese’s peanut butter cups are major food groups. But after she’s caught in a compromising position with the son of a politician, it seems like everyone around her is eager to give her a new label: slut. Izzy is certain that the whole thing will blow over and she can get back to worrying about how she doesn’t reciprocate her best friend Danny’s feelings for her and wondering how she is ever going to find a way out of their small town. Only it doesn’t. And while she’s used to laughing her way out of any situation, as she finds herself first the center of high school gossip and then in the middle of a national scandal, it’s hard even for her to find humor in the situation. Izzy may be determined not to let anyone else define who she is, but that proves easier said than done when it seems like everyone has something to say about her.

Funnier. Ruder. Angrier. Izzy O’Neill is back in the hilarious sequel to The Exact Opposite of Okay. It’s been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal – and the aftershock is far from over. The Bitches Bite Back movement is gathering momentum as a forum for teenage feminists, and when a girl at another school has a sex tape shared online, once again Izzy leads the charge against the slut-shamers. This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn. Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering – can they really make a change? For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton, Love Simon and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca C avallo.

A dark academia thriller romance with a supernatural twist. From the winner of the Comedy Women in Print Prize

Witzig, wortgewandt und mit einer geballten Ladung Girlpower: Laura Stevens feministischer Roman um drei Freundinnen, einen coolen Diner und einen frechen, bissigen Blog gegen Sexismus und Diskriminierung Seit Izzy OʼNeil sich erfolgreich gegen einen sexistischen Shitstorm gewehrt hat, läuft es richtig gut für die 18-Jährige. Mit ihren besten Freundinnen Ajita und Meg trifft sie sich regelmäßig in ihrem Lieblings-Diner, um die Themen für ihren gemeinsamen Blog »Bitches Bite Back« zu besprechen. Wenn es um Nachos, Flachwitze und Feminismus geht, sind die Freundinnen ganz auf einer Wellenlänge. Dank ihrer frechen und treffsicheren Beiträge gegen sexistische Hassreden im Netz ist ihr Blog kurz davor, die 10k-Follower-Grenze zu knacken – das ist toll, reicht aber noch lange nicht, um in Sachen Gleichbehandlung für Frauen endgültig etwas zu ändern. Also organisieren Izzy, Ajita und Meg eine öffentlichkeitswirksame Demo. Dass sie das beschauliche Edgewood in Florida damit gehörig aufmischen, kann den Freundinnen nur recht sein! Izzy O’Neil, die Heldin aus »Speak up«, hält noch lange nicht die Klappe: Laura Stevens Roman »Bitches Bite Back« ist ebenso humorvoll wie gesellschaftskritisch und setzt ein klares Zeichen für einen jungen, frischen, frechen Feminismus. »Satz für Satz, Seite für Seite bringt die junge Autorin die Leserschaft mit der cleveren und vor Frauenpower nur so strotzenden Protagonistin Izzy OʼNeil zum Lachen.« Hessische Niedersächsische Allgemeine über »Speak up«

Witzig, geistreich, feministisch – »Speak Up« ist laut, frech und von höchster Relevanz. Pointiert und unverblümt trifft Laura Steven in ihrem Debütroman den Ton der Zeit und thematisiert typische 21st Century-Themen wie die Friend-Zone und Slut-shaming. Izzy O’Neill weiß genau, wer sie ist – eine loyale Freundin, Nachwuchs-Komödiantin und Milchshakes und Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups zählen für sie als Grundnahrungsmittel. Doch seitdem Fotos durch das Internet kursieren, die sie nachts auf einer Parkbank bei einer mehr als eindeutigen Handlung mit dem Sohn eines bekannten Lokalpolitikers zeigen, gilt Izzy bei den meisten nur noch als Schlampe. Und dieses Aufsehen legt sich leider nicht von selbst, wie Izzy ursprünglich vermutet hatte. Im Gegenteil! Plötzlich sieht sie sich nicht nur im Zentrum eines viralen Highschool-Shitstorms, es ufert aus zu einem nationalen Skandal. Statt sich über ihre Gefühle gegenüber ihrem besten Freund Danny klar werden zu können und ihren Plan zu schmieden, wie sie es schnellstmöglich schaffen soll, endlich aus der amerikanischen Kleinstadt zu entkommen, fehlt selbst der schlagfertigen Izzy der gewohnte Sinn für Humor. Sie ist fest entschlossen, zu verhindern, dass andere darüber bestimmen können, wer oder was sie ist. Doch das ist leichter gesagt als getan, wenn alle um sie herum etwas über sie zu reden haben. Für die Fans von Booksmart (2019) und der Netflix-Erfolgsserie Sex Education, »The Hate U Give« von Angie Thomas, »Love, Simon« von Becky Albertalli und »Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls« von Elena Favilli und Francesca Cavallo. »Ich LIEBE dieses Buch! Eine wirklich clevere, unverfälschte Thematisierung von Gender, Sex und Slut-Shaming« – Katherine Woodfine, Bestseller-Autorin von The Sinclair’s Mysteries »Witzig und ungeschönt in bester Weise, das ist YA-Stoff wie man ihn noch nie zuvor gesehen hat.« – Louise O’Neill, preisgekrönte Autorin für Asking for It

A WITCH HUNTER… Apparently it wasn’t enough for Rune to deceive Gideon; she’s now betrayed him by joining forces with the witch who made his life a living hell. Gideon won’t allow the Republic to fall to the witches and be plunged back into the nightmares of the past. In order to protect this new world he fought for, every last witch must die—especially Rune Winters. AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE… When Rune makes Gideon an offer he can’t refuse, the two must pair up to accomplish dangerous goals. The more they’re forced into each other’s company, the more Gideon realizes the feelings he had for Rune aren’t as dead and buried as he thought. Now he’s faced with a terrible choice: sacrifice the girl he loves to stop a monster taking back power, or let Rune live and watch the world he fought so hard for burn. In Kristen Ciccarelli’s Rebel Witch, the exciting conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology, love has never been so deadly.

On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is. Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can’t help but find herself falling for. Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?

The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible. Transporting readers to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.

A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten. Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.
