Perpetual daydreamer and hopeless romantic Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he's back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar-and maybe snag him as a prom date-even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbour might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz's butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz's in. But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.[Bokinfo].

Píše se rok 1891 a na 221B Baker Street přijíždí katolický kněz. Pronese však pouze dvě slova, „il corpe“, načež znenadání padne mrtev k zemi. Policejní lékař sice za příčinu mužovy smrti označí choleru, ale když se Holmes dozví o dalším knězi s podobnými příznaky, pojme podezření, že byli oba otráveni. Spolu s Watsonem zjistí, že oběti vyslali z Vatikánu, aby prověřily zázrak – říká se, že tělo filantropa a otrokáře z osmnáctého století, Edwyna Warwicka, se v hrobě nerozložilo. Měl by však papež svatořečit muže, který zbohatl díky otroctví? A když potom Warwickovo tělo někdo ukradne, začne být zcela jasné, že mise kněží přilákala pozornost smrtonosného spiknutí Další případ jedné z nejoblíbenějších postav světové krimi literatury tentokrát přináší Cavan Scott, autor mnoha bestsellerů i televizních pořadů.

Ale jsou to samí cizí lidé; milují její příspěvky, ale o ní samotné ve skutečnosti nic neví. Cameron, vlogger, který se snaží vydobýt si slávu na YouTube, se soustředí na zkoumání záhady jezera Erie.

Zatímco Nia a Cameron rozvíjejí své schopnosti a rozdávají spravedlnost, upoutají pozornost nebezpečných sil a tím ohrozí budoucnost celé planety.

"Achilles Kallis vowed that he'd do whatever it took to claw his way into Olympus's inner circle. Now that the former Ares is gone and the coveted role has opened to anyone with the strength to claim it, he and his partner, Patroclus Fotos, plan to both compete and double their odds of winning. Neither expect the infamous beauty Helen Kasios to be part of the prize...or for the sparks that fly when the three of them meet. Zeus may have decided Helen is his to give away, but she has her own plans. She enters the competition as a middle finger to the meddling Thirteen, effectively vying for her own hand in marriage. The only people she can trust are the ones she can't quite keep her hands off-Achilles and Patroclus. But even they might not be strong enough to help her face the worst Olympus has to throw at them.."--

In the old world there were many rules. In the new world there is only one that matters: don't open your eyes. In the seventeen years since the 'creatures' appeared, many people have broken that rule. Many have looked. Many have lost their minds, their lives, their loved ones. In that time, Malorie has raised her two children - Olympia and Tom - on the run or in hiding. Now nearly teenagers, survival is no longer enough. They want freedom. When a census-taker stops by their refuge, he is not welcome. But he leaves a list of names - of survivors building a future beyond the darkness - and on that list are two names Malorie knows. Two names for whom she'll break every rule, and take her children across the wilderness, in the hope of becoming a family again...

"It's 1992 in Bleak Creek, North Carolina, a sleepy little place with all the trappings of an ordinary Southern town: two Baptist churches, friendly smiles coupled with silent judgments, and an unquenchable appetite for pork products. Beneath the town's cheerful facade, however, Bleak Creek teens live in constant fear of being sent to The Whitewood School, a local reformatory with a record of putting unruly teens back on the straight and narrow--a record so impeccable that almost everyone is willing to ignore the mysterious deaths that have occurred there over the past decade. At first, high school freshmen Rex McClendon and Leif Nelson believe what they've been told: that the students' strange demises were all just tragic accidents, the unfortunate consequence of succumbing to vices like Dungeons & Dragons and Nirvana. But when the shoot for their low-budget horror masterpiece, PolterDog, goes horribly awry--and their best friend, Alicia Boykins, is sent to Whitewood as punishment--Rex and Leif are forced to piece together the unsettling truth of the school and its mysterious founder, Wayne Whitewood. What the boys find--with recent NYU film school student Janine Blitstein and her cousin Donna (a former Whitewood student with secrets of her own) at their side--will leave them battling an evil beyond their wildest teenage imaginations, one that will shake Bleak Creek to its core"-- Provided by publisher

But the Arcadiahas not yet had its fill of death, and something dark watches them from below. With limited oxygen and a presence on the ship that's determined to keep them on board, if Cove and her team are trapped beneath the ocean's waves, there'll be no going back.
