      Tri roky po masakre na ich strednej škole. Tri roky klamstiev. Má ešte zmysel povedať pravdu? Lee, Eden, Miles, Ashley a Denny sú jediní, ktorí sa so strelcom stretli a prežili. Teda, ešte Kellie, ale tú radšej nik nespomína. Lee držala svoju najlepšiu kamošku Sarah v náručí, kým zomierala. Ashley bola v zlom čase na zlom mieste a útočník ju postrelil pri úteku. Miles ju chránil vlastným telom a pre všetkých je hrdina, aj keď si o ňom predtým mysleli len to najhoršie. Nevidiaceho Dennyho všetci ľutujú, no on celú masakru prečkal v tme... Eden mala jednoducho šťastie, že ju guľka nenašla v miestnosti, kde väčšina ľudí neprežila. A Kellie sa musela takmer okamžite po týchto udalostiach odsťahovať z mesta. Sarah také šťastie nemala a jej rodičia o nej dokončujú knihu, až na to, že... to celé bolo úplne inak. Má ešte zmysel vyjsť s pravdou von a rozbiť predstavu, ktorú si o Sarah a ostatných vybudoval celý svet? Nie je na pravdu už neskoro? A komu tým vlastne pomôžu? Výnimočný príbeh od autorky románu The Duff. To pravé pre fanúšikov kníh Jeden z nás klame, Farby smútku a Mŕtve dievča neklame.

      The New York Times bestseller is now a major motion picture! Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper may not be the prettiest girl in her high school, but she has a loyal group of friends, a biting wit, and a spot-on BS detector. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush, who calls Bianca the Duff--the designated ugly fat friend--of her crew. But things aren't so great at home and Bianca, desperate for a distraction, ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him. Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

    • Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorce dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancee and her kids. The fiancee's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great. Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together. Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about.

      Bo Dickinson is a girl with a wild reputation, a deadbeat dad, and a mama who’s not exactly sober most of the time. Everyone in town knows the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past ten, and never broken any of her parents’ overbearing rules. Rules that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter—protect her from what, Agnes isn’t quite sure. Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it’s the sort of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else. So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, with police sirens wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn’t hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo’s dad, staying ahead of the authorities, and—worst of all—confronting some ugly secrets.

      Eine Rose mit Dornen Pamela Isley ist ein ungewöhnliches Mädchen. Sie verlässt nur selten das abgeschottete alte Haus der Familie, denn sie vertraut niemandem, seit ihre Mutter nicht mehr da ist. Männern schon gar nicht. Diese wollen immer etwas von ihr, das sie nicht zu geben bereit ist. Pflanzen scheinen Pamelas einzige Freude zu sein. Bis Alice Oh in ihr Leben stolpert und vorübergehend bei den Isleys einzieht. Pamela fühlt sich zu dem süßen Goth Girl hingezogen. Es ist, als würde jemand endlich die Vorhänge aufziehen und Sonne in ihr Leben lassen. Nun muss Pamela jedoch mit aller Macht verhindern, dass ihre neue Freundin von den düsteren Machenschaften ihres Vaters in den Katakomben des Hauses erfährt. Sollte dieses dunkle Geheimnis je ans Licht kommen, schwebt nicht nur Alice in Lebensgefahr. Kody Keplinger, die New York Times-Bestsellerautorin des Romans Von wegen Liebe und die Künstlerin Sara Kipin interpretieren die legendäre DC-Antiheldin mit einer Prise Gothic-Horror völlig neu.
