NATIONAL BESTSELLER Soon to be a major motion picture "Jon Swift + Witches of Eastwick + Kelly 'Get In Trouble' Link + Mean Girls + Creative Writing Degree Hell! No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny you are sooo genius!" —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter "A wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." —Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Awad is a stone-cold genius." —Ann Bauer, The Washington Post The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel from the acclaimed author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and Rouge "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination. Named a Best Book of 2019 by TIME, Vogue, Electric Literature, and The New York Public Library

Welcome to Italian police detective Nic Costa's Rome: the side of the city the tourist board does not want you to see. "Hewson does more than provide a thrilling read. He saves you the airfare to Italy. When you turn the last page, you'll think you've been there" LINWOOD BARCLAY "David Hewson's Rome is dark and tantalizing, seductive and dangerous, a place where present-day crimes ring with the echoes of history" TESS GERRITSEN "David Hewson is one of the finest thriller writers working today" STEVE BERRY "No author has ever brought Rome so alive for me - nor made it seem so sinister" PETER JAMES "[Hewson is] a master plot maker" BOOKLIST _______________________ In the Eternal City of Rome, sixteenth-century sins are echoing into present-day crimes . . . When British academic Malise Gabriel falls to his death from a Rome apartment, it seems like an unfortunate accident. But Detective Nic Costa rapidly comes to realise that not only is there more to the accident than he first thought, but Malise's family - mysterious and tragic daughter Mina, stoic wife Cecilia and troubled son Robert - may be keeping vital information hidden. The deeper Costa looks, the more he's disturbed by mysterious links between the case and a centuries-old crime: the murder of an Italian nobleman in 1599 by his own daughter, who was beheaded by the Vatican as punishment for her sins. And as the case unfolds, it becomes clear that something evil is circling Mina and her family. Something that's closing in fast for the kill. Fans of Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti, Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano and Michael Dibdin's Aurelio Zen, as well as Louise Penny, Jeffey Siger and Martin Walker, will love this thrilling mystery series - perfect for readers who enjoy dark and complex character-led mysteries with multiple twists. PRAISE FOR THE NIC COSTA SERIES: "Once secrets begin to be revealed, there's no stopping them. Readers will have a lot of fun peeling away the book's many layers, right down to the final, closing twist" Publishers Weekly Starred Review "The writing is superior, and the characters engage" Kirkus Reviews "Perhaps [Hewson's] finest novel . . . It's hard to see how the author could have made his dark tale more fascinating, entertaining and yet entirely serious than he has" Washington Post "I love this series. I love how Hewson integrates modern-day events with an ancient city so we get to play armchair tourist as we follow the detectives through Rome's art and architecture as they work to solve the crime" Kathy D., 5* GoodReads review "Atmospheric and mesmerizing . . . As the story unfolds the sudden surprising twists make compelling reading" Lizzie H., 5* GoodReads review "So compelling that I couldn't go on to another book until I had left Nic, Gianni, Leo, and Mina behind" Beth, 5* GoodReads review "Hewson is a story teller par excellence. I could not recommend this author and this book more highly to lovers of the genre" Blair M., 5* GoodReads review THE NIC COSTA MYSTERIES, IN ORDER: 1. A Season for the Dead 2.

I mean that as a compliment of the highest order."—The New York Times You can save hundreds of lives. Or the one that matters most... From New York Times bestselling author Clare Mackintosh comes a claustrophobic thriller set over 20 hours on-board the inaugural nonstop flight from London to Sydney. Mina is trying to focus on her job as a flight attendant, not the problems with her five-year-old daughter back home, or the fissures in her marriage. But the plane has barely taken off when Mina receives a chilling note from an anonymous passenger, someone intent on ensuring the plane never reaches its destination: "The following instructions will save your daughter's life..." Someone needs Mina's assistance and knows exactly how to make her comply. When one passenger is killed and then another, Mina knows she must act. But which lives does she save: Her passengers...or her own daughter and husband who are in grave distress back at home? It's twenty hours to landing. A lot can happen in twenty hours. For fans of the locked-room mystery of One by One and the heart-stopping tension The Last Flight, Hostage is an explosively addictive thriller about one flight attendant and the agonizing decision that will change her life—and the lives of everyone on-board—forever.

She’s behind enemy lines. Being claimed by an alien warrior is not on her agenda. When talks with the Lathar start to fail Dani finds herself in a situation every soldier dreads… a diplomatic mission. Alone on the alien ship without backup, she must play nice, rescue a VIP, and somehow get them both back to her own ship without causing a diplomatic incident that could result in the annihilation of the human race. She didn’t count on one hot as hell alien warrior. Tall, silver-haired and handsome, he’s her escort for the evening and makes her want things she shouldn’t want from an alien, no matter how sexy he is. When a conversation goes bad she finds herself in an alien challenge circle fighting for her freedom. She’s got it handled… until her sexy, and lethal, alien steps into the ring, intent on making her his. The moment he saw her, he vowed he’d claim her as his mate. Assigned to escort a visiting human dignitary for a diplomatic function, Sardaan is the envy of his shipmates. But that’s not all he’s been assigned to do… with females still in short supply, he’s under orders to charm the delicate human into accepting his claim. A duty Sardaan is more than happy to carry out. A simple display of combat prowess becomes a challenge fight. He must step into the ring against the beautiful human to claim her before another does. But once he’s beaten her, claiming her by latharian law, he realises his battle has only just begun… She doesn’t see the claiming fight quite the same way and he finds himself in a new battle, this time for her heart. Can he make his stubborn little mate see that they belong together? Or will forces conspire in the shadows and steal any chance of happiness they have before it’s even begun?
