Synopsis: BOOK ONE IN THE STAINED SERIES, BY USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR ELLA JAMES:
Seventeen-year-old Julia is finally living the good life. She's traded a hard cot in a Memphis orphanage for her very own room in a perfect little house, on a perfect little street, with a perfect set of parents who picked her to be their daughter.
But Julia is hiding a secret - and one fall night, she returns home from a friend's house to find that her secret has found her. Her 'forever home' is ashes. Her parents are dead. And, in the sky above the flames, a winged creature hunts her.
The Nephilim King, Samyaza, has taken everything from Cayne. After struggling in the darkness for years to piece together his shattered life, Cayne is finally ready to confront his past and avenge the loss of everything he loved. He tracks Samyaza to a Memphis warehouse, where he winds up flat on his back, in the healing hands of a beautiful, dark-haired girl he doesn't need to know.
Unbeknownst to either of them, they are already bound. Cayne's past holds the answers to Julia's future. But what will pose the greatest threat to her? The bounty placed on her head by the leaders of two Celestial realms, or giving her heart to a man who is bound, by birth, to break it?

Synopsis: It’s easy to be cynical when you can see the future…
Introducing Delilah Dark, a sarcastic 12-year old psychic with a sharp black bob and crocodile-coloured eyes. Since the death of her sister, Bel, she’s not really been a people person, preferring the company of her pet snake Slinky and fighting off boredom with very black coffee.
But that’s before the rise of the shadowy business BigCorp, who seem to have a strange hold over consumers. There are riots in shopping malls and no one can stop guzzling food. Is it anything to do with those creepy Burgerlicious adverts? Or the new credit card, Faustcard, where you really should read the small print?
The world needs saving, and Delilah Dark is in deeper than she thinks…
This is the first part of the Delilah Dark trilogy, and should appeal to fans of Roald Dahl and JK Rowling.
About the author:
Evie Glass lives in London. She likes tarot-reading, taxidermy and writing gloomy poetry. The three parts of the Delilah Dark Trilogy are ‘The Discoveries of Delilah Dark’, ‘Delilah Dark and the Teacup of Doom’ and ‘Delilah Dark vs. Destiny.’

Synopsis: Although a true lover of books, Anne-Marie Entwhistle prefers not to read to her spirited daughter, Penny, especially from the likes of Madame Bovary, Gone With the Wind, or The Scarlet Letter. These novels, devoted to the lives of the Heroines that make them so irresistible, have a way of hitting too close to home -- well, to the Homestead actually, where Anne-Marie runs the quaint family-owned bed and breakfast.
In this enchanting debut novel, Penny and her mother encounter great women from classic works of literature who make the Homestead their destination of choice just as the plots of their tumultuous, unforgettable stories begin to unravel. They appear at all hours of the day and in all manners of distress. A lovesick Madame Bovary languishes in their hammock after Rodolphe has abandoned her, and Scarlett O'Hara's emotions are not easily tempered by tea and eiderdowns. These visitors long for comfort, consolation, and sometimes for more attention than the adolescent Penny wants her mother to give.
Knowing that to interfere with their stories would cause mayhem in literature, Anne-Marie does her best to make each Heroine feel at home, with a roof over her head and a shoulder to cry on. But when Penny begins to feel overshadowed by her mother's indulgence of each and every Heroine, havoc ensues, and the thirteen-year-old embarks on her own memorable tale.
Eileen Favorite's lively, fresh, and enormously entertaining novel gives readers a chance to experience their favorite Heroines all over again, or introduces these fictional women so beguilingly that further acquaintance will surely follow. Narrated by the courageous and irreverent Penny, The Heroines will make book lovers rejoice.

Synopsis: That presumably empty cottage situated in the middle of Yarmouth, Massachusetts' expansive woods created a shock when somebody living behind its decrepit wooden doors made it blatantly obvious that life indeed did subsist behind them. Amanda Sillow, who had been abducted at the age of 14 and was now nearly 100 years of age, wasn't in the least bit pleased when construction on the home of a neighbor got under way next door to her. She is now bent on doing whatever it takes to drive her new neighbors out of the neighborhood - starting before they even move in.
So, she didn't want those neighbors around, but Ms. Sillow wasn't fussy about having her grandson, Presley, come to live with her. She genuinely loved the boy, and he loved her. It was just his love that he had for his mother that she couldn't stand. In due time, Ms. Sillow would make her daughter regret ever having dropped her son off to live with her.
The Sins of His Grandmother is a gripping tale that brings to light the affects that jealousy can have on an individual who, though not clinically diagnosed to be mentally unsteady, exhibits clear, alarming mental deficiencies and should, at all costs, be avoided. With the author having drawn from some too-close-to-home personal experiences of his own, this fictional mystery/thriller has, in fact, been written in truth.
