Henry Page, 17 anni, è l'ultimo dei romantici, da sempre all'inseguimento del grande amore. E forse proprio per questo, non si è mai innamorato. Ma un giorno in classe arriva Grace Town, e tutto cambia. Grace cammina aiutandosi con un bastone, porta vestiti troppo grandi per lei, ha sempre lo sguardo basso. Henry se la ritrova accanto nella redazione del giornale della scuola, e presto ne rimane incantato. Grace ha ovviamente qualcosa di spezzato, ma questo non fa che attirare Henry, convinto di poterle ridonare quel sorriso che fino a pochi mesi prima era una sua quotidiana compagnia. Ma forse ciò che è spezzato non sempre si può riparare, e il grande amore è più amaro di quanto i romantici credano.

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.[Bokinfo].

A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night. Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous. But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time--something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home

Ever since Esther Solar's grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther's father is agoraphobic and hasn't left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them. Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen other phobias she keeps a record of in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares. Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood, an old elementary school classmate. Along with her phone, money and a fruit roll-up she d been saving, Jonah also steals her list of fears. Despite the theft, Esther and Jonah become friends, and he sets a challenge for them: in an effort to break the curse that has crippled her family, they will meet every Sunday of senior year to work their way through the list, facing one terrifying fear at a time, including one that Esther hadn't counted on: love.

Am Halloweenabend wird eine junge Frau in ihrer Wohnung in London ermordet. Sie ist bereits das fünfte Opfer eines Serienmörders, der Frauen vor ihrem Tod ein Stück Haut herausschneidet. Alle haben eines gemeinsam: Sie sind Kundinnen von Emer, einer Hexe und Fluchschreiberin, die Invocations verfassen kann. Jene Beschwörungen, die einen Dämon an den Körper binden und ihm erlauben, sich von der Seele zu ernähren – im Tausch für Macht. Jude bietet Emer ihre Hilfe bei der Suche nach dem Täter an – wenn Emer im Gegenzug den Dämonenpakt löst, der Judes Körper langsam verfaulen lässt. Und auch Zara benötigt die Fähigkeiten von Emer, denn sie will ihre ermordete Schwester aus dem Reich der Toten zurückholen. Doch während die drei gebrochenen jungen Frauen sich verbünden, um den Mörder zu finden, wird klar, dass er längst Jagd auf sie macht … Karen Magnus: »Ein wunderschön verdrehtes Märchen, das vor Magie und Geheimnissen schillert. The Invocations ist aufregend, unwiderstehlich und unvergesslich.« Ravena Guron: »Düster, humorvoll, voller Twists und originell bis zum Finale.« Ayana Gray: »Gleichermaßen körperlich intensiv wie unheimlich. Die Wendungen und die süchtig machende Handlung ziehen dich bis zum Ende in ihren Bann.«
