Collection: Adult

When the Grim Reaper develops feelings for the children's librarian whose soul he is supposed to collect, he finds that with feelings comes something far worse than death--life.

Helena Hart isn't having the best night. Her date just ditched her, her Halloween costume bombed, and her only sympathetic ear is a dead silent partygoer in a Grim Reaper get-up. But when she falls off a balcony and he catches her with a very real skeletal hand, she realizes he may not be a party guest at all. Before she can process the near-death experience, he vanishes, leaving her to wonder if she hallucinated the whole thing.

Grim isn't supposed to save souls. He's supposed to reap them. And while he's not sure why he spared Helena, he does know that if his superiors find out, he's as good as dust--which is saying something for a guy who's mostly bones. But keeping away from Helena is proving harder than expected--especially when she isn't the least bit afraid of his monstrous form.

Worse, to his horror, Helena makes him feel. And for a reaper, feeling is a fate far more dangerous than death.

When two rival music executives wake up married in Las Vegas with no memory of tying the knot, they have to recreate their night together while competing to sign the band of their dreams in this smart and sexy rom-com that combines Book Lovers with The Hangover.

Talent scout Eleanor Thompson arrives in Las Vegas with one goal: sign the popular alt-rock group Dempsey to her record label and subsequently save her job. Unfortunately for her, Adam Shaw--former colleague and the man who recently poached the top performing artist from Eleanor's roster--has the same idea. When Adam crashes Eleanor's dinner meeting with the band, it sets them off on a night of shot-fueled one-upmanship that ends with matching wedding rings. Some people might be able to laugh off a drunken Vegas marriage, but Eleanor and Adam are not some people.

They soon realize annulments are a lot easier to get on TV, especially when you factor in a missing ID, a run-in with casino security, and a band still expecting to be wooed before hitting the stage for the final show of their national tour.

With only a few hours until the party where Dempsey plans to announce their new record label, Eleanor and Adam embark on a wild dash around Vegas to fix the previous night's mistakes. Between meeting an attorney in the back of a strip club, getting blackmailed into playing the newlywed game, and a surprisingly deep moment outside a karaoke bar, Eleanor and Adam begin to fall for one another. Do they dare place a bet on love? Or will they keep their cards close?

Entre las memorias personales, la novela y el relato histórico, este libro demoledor retrata uno de los acontecimientos más emblemáticos de los años recientes en Colombia.

El miércoles 6 de noviembre de 1985, la guerrilla del M-19 se tomó a sangre y fuego el Palacio de Justicia, sede de las Cortes colombianas que se jugaban la vida por las leyes. La respuesta de las fuerzas armadas fue retomar el lugar a toda costa, y el resultado es uno de los episodios más salvajes y trágicos de la historia reciente de Colombia.

Este Mural nos hace testigos de primera mano de las nostálgicas imágenes del Palacio de Justicia antes de convertirse en una ruina funesta. Y luego, gracias a la mirada luminosa y compasiva de Ricardo Silva Romero, somos espectadores de la miseria, el horror, la deshonra, pero también de la humanidad, la misericordia y la cordura perdidas en la toma. Mural logra con maestría ejecutar la magia de la ficción: llenar de vida a sus personajes a pesar de la muerte, plantarnos en el lugar mundano de las deficiencias y los errores, devolvernos a la gracia de reconocer los matices en todos los hechos y todas las personas, reivindicar la experiencia de volver a contar lo sucedido a la luz de la imaginación.

"Y jamás dejará de sonar inverosímil, pero la humillación, un trauma que engendra traumas, se encuentra detrás de las guerras más desquiciadas, más apocalípticas que hayan desfigurado este mundo".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Blending personal memoir, novel, and historical account, this powerful book portrays one of the most emblematic and devastating events in Colombia's recent history.

On Wednesday, November 6, 1985, the M-19 guerrilla stormed the courthouse--the seat of Colombia's highest courts, where they put their lives at stake for the law--in a bloody takeover. The armed forces responded by retaking the building at all costs, which resulted in one of the most savage and tragic episodes in the country's modern history.

Mural allows us to witness firsthand the haunting images of the courthouse before it became a dismal ruin. And after, through the luminous and compassionate gaze of Ricardo Silva Romero, we become spectators of misery, horror, and disgrace--but also of the humanity, mercy, and reason lost amid the chaos. With a masterful control of the magic of fiction, Mural breathes life into its characters despite death, places us in the flawed and fragile realm of human shortcomings and errors, restores our ability to perceive nuance in every act and every person, and reclaims the power of imagination to retell what happened.

"And it will never cease to sound implausible, but humiliation--a trauma that breeds more traumas--lies behind the most deranged, most apocalyptic wars that have ever disfigured this world."

In the arena, where life is cheap and spectacle is everything, Rey must decide what kind of game he's willing to play.

As the largest kingdom in the Known World, the Empire of Sagrada is built on the keystones of conquest: gold, glory, and the Dying God. But when Princess Rosa unexpectedly finds herself the next heir to the throne, she is determined to change Sagrada for the better--until her father announces a glorious tournament of gladiatorial fights and blood magic, with Rosa's hand and her throne as the prize.

In a desperate bid to win her own hand, Princess Rosa chooses Rey, a trans swordsman from the colony of Himala, as her champion in her father's tournament. Kidnapped by Sagradan conquistadors and raised as a fighter, Rey is equally desperate to win his freedom and return to Himala with his partner, Teo. But, haunted by the past and his own quest for revenge, Rey is soon caught up in the destructive spectacle of the games, where the cost of power is blood, and the true prize is yet to be revealed.

A bold reenvisioning of the colonial history of Spain and the Philippines through an epic anti-imperialist fantasy about fighting for freedom in the face of empire.

A tense and atmospheric Midwestern domestic suspense perfect for readers of All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers and All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham.

On a warm Fourth of July night in Duck Lake, Michigan, the Wentworths' world shattered. As fireworks lit up the sky, Richie and Olive's four-year-old daughter was pulled from the dark waters of the lake, her death ruled an accidental drowning.

Seven years later, Olive still lives in the shadow of that night. Her grief is numbed by pills, while Richie, a celebrated oncologist, thrives in the spotlight of his career. But as another Fourth of July celebration approaches, the lake yields another body, and the chilling discovery suggests that the tragedy from years ago may not have been an accident after all.

Determined to uncover the truth, Olive digs beneath the polished surface of her picture-perfect neighborhood, where Midwestern smiles conceal dangerous secrets. Each revelation threatens to unravel not only Richie's hard-won reputation but also the very foundation of their tight-knit community.

In a town where appearances are everything, Olive must confront the terrifying question: who would take the life of a child, and how far will they go to keep their sins submerged?

With only one summer to turn things around, one woman finds herself fighting to hold together the one place that's always felt like home with the people who have become like family, in this summery novel from USA TODAY bestselling author of The Sandy Page Bookshop.

Thirty-year-old Holly has inherited the historic Cranberry Inn on Cape Cod from her grandmother, Francine. Only Francine is not dead. At least not yet. And she's not fully convinced the Cranberry Inn is the right fit for Holly; despite its rich maritime history, the Victorian beauty is showing its age and it's so much work. Besides, she has an offer from a developer that she's not sure she can turn down.

Unsure what to do, Francine decides she cannot let Holly take over without a dry run summer. As Francine tries to sequester herself to the sidelines, Holly finally has the chance to prove herself. And time is of essence because this summer they are hosting the Suttons, a prominent New York family of a famed social media influencer who expect no less than perfection for their only daughter's summer nuptials. A move that Holly is convinced will boost the inn's revenue and steer it back on track.

If that weren't enough, Ben is back. Ben's family has summered in the house across the cove from the Cranberry Inn since Holly and Ben were kids. Like her, he's starting his own family business: an oyster farm just up the shore. Only Holly hasn't seen Ben since he shocked her with news of his engagement to another woman several years ago. The way they left things was like a conversation unfinished, and one that Ben seems interested in revisiting.

With a wedding looming and a bride hedging and a staff feeling adrift, can Holly pull everyone together to ensure that the beloved Cranberry Inn will survive another summer?
