Elle Cosimano Knihy

Elle Cosimano prináša vtipné a napínavé pokračovanie románu Nájomná vrahyňa na materskej.Finlay Donovanová sa opäť snaží dokončiť svoj ďalší román a udržať sa nad vodou ako slobodná matka dvoch detí. Po boku má spoľahlivú opatrovateľku svojich detí a dôverníčku Vero a jediné mŕtve telo, o ktoré sa v poslednom čase musela postarať, je telo zlatej rybky jej dcéry.Problém nastáva, keď Finlay zistí, že niekto chce, aby jej bývalý manžel Steven zmizol. Natrvalo. Nech je Steven akýkoľvek, je dobrý otec, no jeho záchrana ju vrhne priamo do náručia vrahov maskujúcich sa za na pohľad nevinné matky s deťmi a Finlay sa zapletie s ruskou mafiou o niečo viac, ako by si želala.Okrem toho Vero čosi tají a detektív Nick Anthony je odhodlaný vrátiť sa späť do Finlayinho života. Možno je to sexi policajt, ale Finlayinou hlavnou prioritou je zabrániť svojej rodine a najbližším, aby zistili, že v dome schováva mŕtvolu, a to aj za cenu porušenia niekoľkých zákonov.S blížiacim sa termínom odovzdania novej knihy a s bývalým manželom, ktorého treba udržať pri živote, sa Finlay rýchlo dostáva na pokraj svojich možností.

Byť mamou a zároveň nájomnou vrahyňou je vražedná kombinácia Fráza „urobiť si svoju prácu“ naberá pre jednu slobodnú matku v knihe Finlay Donovanová to zabila úplne nový význam. Román je lahodne vtipným debutom – prvým z brilantnej novej série od Elle Cosimanovej nominovaným na cenu YA Edgar Award FINLAY DONOVANOVÁ TO ZABILA... až na to, že v pravom slova zmysle. Nová kniha, na ktorej Finlay práve pracuje a ktorú sľúbila odovzdať svojej literárnej agentke, ešte nie je hotová, jej bývalý manžel vyhodil ich opatrovateľku bez toho, aby ju na to upozornil, a ráno musela poslať svoju štvorročnú dcéru do škôlky s vlasmi oblepenými lepiacou páskou. Keď niekto počas obeda začuje Finlay diskutovať o zápletke svojho nového románu so svojou agentkou, pomýlia si ju s nájomnou vrahyňou a Finlay neúmyselne prijíma ponuku zbaviť sa problémového manžela obete, aby si zarobila peniaze a splatila tak všetky potrebné účty, ktoré sa jej už kopia pri predných dverách... no čoskoro zistí, že spáchanie zločinu je v skutočnom živote oveľa ťažšie než vo fiktívnom svete.

Living in a DC trailer park, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Like her mother's job as an exotic dancer, her obsession with the personal ads, and especially the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin. But when a serial killer goes on a killing spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper that only Nearly can decipher, she confides in the one person she shouldn't trust: the new guy at school—a reformed bad boy working undercover for the police, doing surveillance. . . on her. Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it all out soon—she'll be next.

Perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Schwab, this is the stunning conclusion to a lush, high-stakes fantasy duology, the first book of which New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Armentrout called “flawless and addictive.” As immortal Seasons, Jack and Fleur wielded powerful magic in their roles as a Winter and a Spring. Yet there wasn’t magic strong enough to keep them apart, and they risked everything for their love, for the freedom to live their lives as they choose—together. That choice came at a cost, and Jack had to sacrifice his Winter magic—and his immortality. Although he’d do anything for Fleur, he can’t deny the emptiness he’s felt since. And the world they thought they left behind is still dealing with the fallout of the battle. With Professor Lyon as the new Chronos, Seasons are free to do as they please. But not everyone is happy with the change in leadership. When an old enemy seeks revenge, immense magic runs wild and unchecked, creating chaos everywhere. Thrust into the middle of a new war, Jack and Fleur are again forced to choose between their freedom and saving the world from the storm. 

For fans of Maggie Stiefvater and Laini Taylor, a perfect storm lies ahead in this riveting fantasy duology opener from award-winning author Elle Cosimano. One cold, crisp night, Jack Sommers was faced with a choice--live forever according to the ancient, magical rules of Gaia, or die. Jack chose to live, and in exchange, he became a Winter--an immortal physical embodiment of the season on Earth. Every year, he must hunt the Season who comes before him. Summer kills Spring. Autumn kills Summer. Winter kills Autumn. And Spring kills Winter. Jack and Fleur, a Winter and a Spring, fall for each other against all odds. To be together, they'll have to escape the cycle that's been forcing them apart. But their creator won't let them go without a fight.

The fourth installment in a beloved murder-mystery series combines warmth and humor, appealing to fans of Jesse Q. Sutanto and Only Murders in the Building. With engaging characters and a captivating plot, this book continues the adventures of its protagonist as they navigate the complexities of crime-solving while delivering plenty of laughs.
