An Awfully Big Adventure

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!Sisters? Forever. Friends? NEVER. Who knew a reunion weekend could be so deadly? Meet the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu: <ul><li>Roxy Callahan Gentry, the ruthless former sorority president and current hostess who has painstakingly choreographed every detail of this weekend-even matching the cocktails to her couture-to prove that she remains their undisputed queen</li><li>Amelia Dell, the widow drenched in old money and alcohol, with her big pot-stirring spoon and uninvited boy-toy in tow</li><li>Jamie Vale, the double-legacy pledge, straight-A student with no sparkle, now a top cardiologist with a picture-perfect family-and a well-guarded bad habit</li><li>Beth Harrison, the scholarship student who never quite fit in and was only admitted because her best friend Sunny insisted that the two were a package deal</li><li>Sunny Spencer, the carefree and beloved friend to all, or so it seemed-until she wasn't</li></ul> They've been summoned to Roxy's luxurious Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate the engagement of her son to Beth's daughter. But the refurbished 1920s estate is eerily reminiscent of the hotel where tragedy struck during Spring Break twenty-five years ago. Long-simmering tensions and shocking secrets begin bubbling to the surface like bodies-because while the weekend was supposed to be about celebrating the future, it's not so easy to bury the past... For fans of Shari Lapena, Mary Kubica, and B. A. Paris, We Were Never Friends is an unputdownable, riveting train wreck full of dark humor and bad behavior.

A Novel

We Were Never Friends

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! DELUXE EDITION-a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a case stamp, and designed endpapers! Both epic and intimate, These Immortal Truths is an enchanting and romantic historical fantasy that explores not only what it means to live forever, but what it means to truly live at all. "Did I not tell you, Anna? Death will not come for you." Anna is used to hunger and hardship. Ever since the pale shadows on her skin were mistaken for leprosy, she has lived alone in exile, each day focused only on survival. Then a single act of kindness towards a beautiful stranger changes her life forever. Suddenly, neither time nor harm can touch her, and Anna strives to embrace a life with boundless potential, one that isn't only about survival. But as decades and centuries pass, she is continually forced to abandon each new life before it has the chance to feel like home. The only constant in her eternal existence is Khiran-the shapeshifting god who gave her immortality. No matter the years or distance, he always finds her when she most needs him. But there is more to immortality than Anna knows, and as she travels the ages, she will discover the beauty-and cost-of a life without end.

These Immortal Truths

Mathilde ist jung, schön, voller Träume - und entschlossen, in den sechziger Jahren ein anderes Leben zu führen. Zusammen mit vier Studenten gründet sie in Hamburg eine WG, in der Besitz, Treue und Familie abgeschafft gehören. Freie Liebe, Kunst und Revolution sollen das alte Denken vertreiben. 1967 wird Johanna geboren - das "Gemeinschaftskind" einer Generation, die glaubte, die Welt neu zu erfinden.
Fünfzig Jahre später fragt sich Johanna, was von all den Idealen geblieben ist. Sie sieht ihre Mutter altern, die Männer verschwinden, die Träume verfliegen - und spürt, wie schwer es ist, das eigene Leben zu begreifen.
Carin Abicht erzählt mit Witz, Zärtlichkeit und präziser Ironie vom Glanz und Scheitern einer Zeit, in der alles möglich schien - und von den Töchtern, die mit den Träumen ihrer Eltern weiterleben müssen.

It Happened on the Lake

'Wenn ich den Namen Pilar Adón höre, denke ich sofort an fesselnde Geschichten mit vielschichtigen Charakteren, großartige Prosa und außergewöhnliche Bücher.' - Fernando Aramburu

Es ist Abend, als sich die Künstlerin Coro ins Auto setzt und ohne bestimmtes Ziel und ohne ihr Handy in die Dunkelheit hinausfährt, ohne zu wissen, dass sie sich Betania nähert, einem abgelegenen Haus, Mitten im Nirgendwo, fast jenseits der Welt. Dort in der Nähe geht ihr das Benzin aus, und sie bittet um Hilfe, wird aber vertröstet, sie solle erst einmal die Nacht im Haus verbringen. Sie ahnt noch nicht, dass sie ein Haus betreten wird, in dem nur Frauen wohnen, die sich gleich kleiden und seltsame Feste feiern und Bräuche haben. Ein Ort, der bevölkert wird von unzähligen Hunden, an dem sich die wilde Natur zeigt. Wo ein riesiger Felsen das Sonnenlicht verbirgt und die Landschaft dominiert, wo im Hintergrund ein See die Grenze markiert, über den ständig Vögel fliegen. Und Coro, die noch immer um ihre ertrunkene Schwester trauert, will gehen, geht aber nicht und scheint dort etwas gefunden zu haben, was sie gar nicht gesucht hat - so wie die Frauen in Betania sie bereits seit ihrer Ankunft zu kennen scheinen. Und so verwächst sie mit dem Anwesen, mit der Natur. Pilar Adón erzählt eine eindringliche Geschichte, in der viele Geheimnisse lauern, darüber, was es heißt, Teil von etwas zu sein, von einer Gemeinschaft, aber auch darüber, was die Trauer mit uns macht, wenn wir einen geliebten Menschen verloren haben.

Halo: First Strike: Volume 3

PREMIO CLARÍN DE NOVELA «Una novela actual y misteriosa, en la tradición del weird y con citas a Arthur Machen, Lovecraft o Chambers, con algo de terror ecológico y una notable reconstrucción histórica'. -Mariana Enriquez Hay algo vivo e inclasificable que recorre el planeta Tierra desde su creación y parece capaz de sobrevivirlo. Se extiende bajo la superficie y emerge como una planta fantástica, en múltiples sentidos. De ella darán testimonio los distintos narradores de la novela -cuyas voces se escuchan en 1504, 1888, 1945- y el arco temporal de un futuro que solo la literatura puede imaginar. Una y otra vez, mientras la humanidad crece y se piensa, el bionte, este organismo que aterra pero que también refugia, será un espejo del devenir histórico bajo el horror de su idea de progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE &gt;There is something alive and unclassifiable that has coursed through planet Earth since its creation--and seems capable of outliving it. It spreads beneath the surface and emerges like a fantastic plant, in every sense of the word. Its existence is recounted by the novel's different narrators--voices that speak from 1504, 1888, and 1945--and through the temporal arc of a future that only literature can imagine. Time and again, as humanity grows and reflects upon itself, the biont--this organism that both terrifies and shelters--becomes a mirror of historical evolution, shadowed by the horror of its own idea of progress.

Si sintieras bajo los pies las estructuras mayores

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible - that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians - become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.

Charting the course of the intense and at times fractious relationship between&nbsp;middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet,&nbsp;Discord&nbsp;is a wry and insightful&nbsp;exploration of creative collaboration.

Discord

Rumors about the Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some believe the secret society is merely an elite social club, others are convinced it hides something more sinister... Vivian Lawrence was born into old-money Boston, but when her family fortune vanishes so does her carefully curated life. Desperate, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to the Knox and its inheritance, seeking a way into the exclusive secret society. She doesn’t expect that entry to come in the form of Peter, a Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian weak in the knees for the first time in her life. Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a young nurse eager to leave her humble past behind. When the effortlessly glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, sending Taylor on a search for answers that pulls her into the Knox itself—as their new employee. The further Taylor ventures into the Knox’s world of unimaginable wealth and dark history, the more the mystery surrounding Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are this society’s true currency.
