16-year-old Mehreen Miah's anxiety and depression, or 'Chaos', as she calls it, has taken over her life, to the point where she can't bear it any more. So she joins MementoMori, a website that matches people with partners and allocates them a date and method of death, 'the pact'. Mehreen is paired with Cara Saunders and Olivia Castleton, two strangers dealing with their own serious issues. As they secretly meet over the coming days, Mehreen develops a strong bond with Cara and Olivia, the only people who seem to understand what she's going through. But ironically, the thing that brought them together to commit suicide has also created a mutually supportive friendship that makes them realise that, with the right help, life is worth living. It's not long before all three want out of the pact. But in a terrifying twist of fate, the website won't let them stop, and an increasingly sinister game begins, with MementoMori playing the girls off against each other. A pact is a pact, after all. In this powerful debut written in three points of view, Yasmin Rahman has created a moving, poignant novel celebrating life. ALL THE THINGS WE NEVER SAID is about friendship, strength and survival.

In an alternative 19th-century Italy, Elsa finds a secret society of pazzerellones—young people with a gift for mechanics, alchemy or scriptology—and meets Leo, a gorgeous mechanist with a smart mouth and a tragic past. She recruits the help of these fellow geniuses just as an assassin arrives on their doorstep.

A New York Times bestseller The bestselling sequel—and conclusion—to Victoria Schwab’s instant #1 New York Times bestseller This Savage Song. Kate Harker is a girl who isn’t afraid of the dark. She’s a girl who hunts monsters. And she’s good at it. August Flynn is a monster who can never be human. No matter how much he once yearned for it. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost. Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows—one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim’s inner demons—it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. She’ll face a monster she thought she killed, a boy she thought she knew, and a demon all her own. A gorgeously written dark fantasy from New York Times–bestselling author Victoria Schwab, and one to hand to fans of Holly Black, Laini Taylor, and Maggie Stiefvater. “Explosive.”—Brightly

Per anni Verity City è stata teatro di crimini e attentati, finché ogni episodio di violenza ha cominciato a generare mostri, creature d'ombra appartenenti a tre stirpi: i Corsai e i Malchai, avidi di carne e sangue umani, e i Sunai, più potenti, che come implacabili angeli vendicatori con il loro canto seducente catturano e divorano l'anima di chi si sia macchiato di gravi crimini. Ora la città è attraversata da un muro che separa due mondi inconciliabili e difende una fragile tregua: al Nord lo spietato Callum Harker offre ai ricchi protezione in cambio di denaro, mentre al Sud Henry Flynn, che ha perso la famiglia nella guerra civile, si è messo a capo di un corpo di volontari pronti a dare la vita pur di difendere i concittadini e ha accolto come figli tre Sunai. In caso di guerra la leva più efficace per trattare con Harker sarebbe la figlia. Così August, il più giovane Sunai, si iscrive in incognito alla stessa accademia di Kate per tenerla sotto controllo. Ma lei, irrequieta, implacabile e decisa a tutto pur di dimostrare al padre di essere sua degna erede, non è un'ingenua...

Da quasi trent’anni la famiglia di Sierra coltiva “alberi di Natale” in un grande vivaio dell’Oregon. E ogni inverno si trasferisce per un mese in California per venderli. Sierra vive perciò due vite: una in Oregon e l’altra in California, ma solo per il periodo natalizio. Finché si trova lì si è ripromessa di non legarsi a nessun ragazzo, perché sarebbe doloroso poi, dopo solo un mese, doverlo lasciare. Ma quando incontra Caleb, tutto cambia. Certo, da quel che si dice in giro, non è proprio il fidanzato ideale. Pare infatti che, anni prima, abbia commesso un errore enorme, del quale sta continuando a pagare le conseguenze, fatte di ostilità, pregiudizi e isolamento. Ma a Sierra tutto questo non interessa. Anche se migliaia di pensieri le ronzano in testa minacciando di distoglierla dal momento magico che sta vivendo, forse vale la pena di chiudere gli occhi, lasciarsi andare e mandare al diavolo la logica. Dopo tutto, la logica non sa quello che desideri e che quello che conta, alla fine, è l’amore. Vero, puro, necessario. Come il loro.
