Book Description
Fans of Far from the Tree, We Are Okay and Emergency Contact will love this epic, utterly unforgettable contemporary novel about a lost shipwreck, a missing piece of family history, and weathering the storms of life. The Larkin family isn't just lucky—they persevere. At least that's what Violet and her younger brother, Sam, were always told. When the Lyric sank off the coast of Maine, their great-great-great-grandmother didn't drown like the rest of the passengers. No, Fidelia swam to shore, fell in love, and founded Lyric, Maine, the town Violet and Sam returned to every summer. But wrecks seem to run in the family: Tall, funny, musical Violet can't stop partying with the wrong people. And, one beautiful summer day, brilliant, sensitive Sam attempts to take his own life. Shipped back to Lyric while Sam is in treatment, Violet is haunted by her family's missing piece—the lost shipwreck she and Sam dreamed of discovering when they were children. Desperate to make amends, Violet embarks on a wildly ambitious mission: locate the Lyric, lain hidden in a watery grave for over a century. She finds a fellow wreck hunter in Liv Stone, an amateur local historian whose sparkling intelligence and guarded gray eyes make Violet ache in an exhilarating new way. Whether or not they find the Lyric, the journey Violet takes—and the bridges she builds along the way—may be the start of something like survival. Epic, funny, and sweepingly romantic, The Last True Poets of the Sea is an astonishing debut about the strength it takes to swim up from a wreck.

**This book may contain triggers. This book is part of a series and ends on a cliffhanger.** This empire is built on the bones of our enemies, surrounded by shadows that hide our twisted deeds and quiet wealth. Sienna After a decade, what remained was a lone pendant and a shattered heart. If not for the photo, I’d think he was a ghost. With no other choice, I redefined my life, mending the broken pieces. But like all things that haunt us, he’s back, engulfing my once simple life into a raging storm surrounded by crime and bloodshed. The trouble he brings is more than just his secrets; it's the weakness he brings out of me. But just one taste can’t hurt, can it? Elio My existence is tangled with darkness and mayhem, where we live by a code —family, power, loyalty, and protection. Until her. She was the light. And I left. Everything I’ve done has been to protect her. She resists our connection, consumed by the betrayals of the past. Too bad. I refuse to stop until she becomes mine again.

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING AMY ADAMS • In this blazingly smart and voracious debut novel, an artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. • "A must-read for anyone who can’t get enough of the ever-blurring line between the psychological and supernatural that Yellowjackets exemplifies." —Vulture One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else... An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother's symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want.

Book Description
Fans of JODI ELLEN MALPAS and SYLVIA DAY will enjoy the first installment of this dark and heated opposites-attract romance exploring obsessive lust, dangerous passion, and two tangled hearts free-falling on a devastating descent. DARKER THAN LOVE . . . From the outside looking in, Dr. Alex Marlowe has it all. A comfortable middle-class upbringing, a great job as a GP, a picturesque cottage in a quiet village, and all the support she could need to get over her cheating ex-fiancé. So, when dark and dangerous Jake Lawrence appears bleeding on the doorstep of her late-night surgery in London's East End, she isn't prepared for the myriad of feelings he leaves behind. DEEPER THAN LUST . . . Respected and feared in London's violent criminal underworld, Jake lives the furthest life from Alex's safe suburban existence, yet he can't get the classy doctor out of his mind. He's forged his reputation from nothing on these streets, but no amount of fancy cars or high-end apartments can make him feel as if he belongs. Could Alex finally be his key to redemption, or will his growing obsession only lead them both into greater danger? A FALL SO HARD THERE'S NO COMING BACK. One thing's for sure: Neither of them want to let go. But with so many secrets lurking in the shadows, Jake's relentless pursuit of Alex starts to attract some unsavory attention. With all eyes on them and no clear way out, Alex soon realizes she hasn't just fallen in love...but into something much darker. "Ms. Drake is an author to watch. Hers is a rare talent, her books raw, passionate, yet measured . . ." -EA Carter, author of The Transcendence Series "A Dark Fall is a beautiful book, filled with stunning internalizations, vivid detail, and breathtaking love scenes, all while tackling uncomfortable truths about prejudices, societal biases, and whether one can ever be truly worthy of redemption . . ." -Early Reader Review "Loved this entire story! Written beautifully, enhanced with great characters (even the evil ones). I caught myself thinking of Alex & Jake when my phone was nowhere around . . ." -Early Reader Review
