    • In the quaint town of Nightfall, Oregon, it isn't the dark you should be afraid of—it's the girls. The Lost Boys meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this propulsive novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Treatment. Theo and her brother, Marco, threw the biggest party of the year. And got caught. Their punishment? Leave Arizona to spend the summer with their grandmother in the rainy beachside town of Nightfall, Oregon—population 846 souls. The small town is cute, when it’s not raining, but their grandmother is superstitious and strangely antisocial. Upon their arrival she lays out the one house rule: always be home before dark. But Theo and Marco are determined to make the most of their summer, and on their first day they meet the enigmatic Minnow and her friends. Beautiful and charismatic, the girls have a magnetic pull that Theo and her brother can't resist. But Minnow and her friends are far from what they appear. And that one rule? Theo quickly realizes she should have listened to her grandmother. Because after dark, something emerges in Nightfall. And it doesn’t plan to let her leave.

      Amy Ross brings readers an inventive modern retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Lulu and Jek are science nerds, and have been best friends since they were young…or at least they used to be. Lately Jek has been pulling away from Lulu, just as she’s coming to terms with how she really feels about him. Just as she was ready to see if there could be something more between them. But Lulu’s thoughts are derailed by the arrival of a mysterious new guy showing up at local parties. Hyde is the definition of a bad boy, and everybody knows it…but no one can seem to resist his charms. Girls can’t stay away from him, and guys all want to be him. And even though Lulu’s heart belongs to Jek, she can’t deny his attraction either. She also knows that’s there’s something not quite right about Hyde. That the rumours of his backwoods parties sound a little more dangerous than what any of her friends are accustom to. And she doesn’t like the fact that Hyde seems to be cozying up to Jek, and that they seem to be intertwined in ways that have Lulu worrying for Jek’s safety. If Hyde has a dark secret, Lulu is determined to find out what it is, and to help Jek…before it’s too late for the both of them.

    • Sono passate settimane da quando Sloane è stata dimessa dal Programma, il progetto sperimentale che obbliga gli adolescenti a rischio di depressione alla rimozione dei ricordi, eppure è ancora sotto stretta osservazione. Nonostante abbia dimenticato intere parti del suo passato, il cuore l’ha spinta di nuovo tra le braccia di James, il ragazzo che ha sempre amato. In questo modo, però, ha scoperchiato una scatola che avrebbe dovuto rimanere sigillata, mettendo in pericolo la validità stessa della terapia a cui entrambi sono stati sottoposti. Ma il Programma non può permettersi di fallire e dà il via a una caccia serrata. In fuga dagli stessi uomini che li hanno internati, Sloane e James non possono fare altro che unirsi a un gruppo di ribelli che vuole scardinare l’impalcatura di segreti e bugie su cui si fonda il Programma. Riuscirci, però, è tutt’altro che semplice. Soprattutto perché l’unico indizio a disposizione è la pillola arancione che Michael Realm – il solo amico che Sloane aveva nel Programma – le ha lasciato prima di scomparire nel nulla. L’antidoto in grado di ripristinare i ricordi persi. La Cura su cui tutti vorrebbero mettere le mani. In un crescendo di inseguimenti, depistaggi e tradimenti, si conclude la storia d’amore di Sloane e James: il secondo, appassionante capitolo della serie bestseller del «New York Times».
