Heiress Among Thieves
When a vault of gold is on the line, one teen mastermind will have to decide how far she's willing to go for the boy she loves, in this sequel to the Reese's Book Club Pick Heiress Takes All. The only thing that entices teen heiress and heist leader Olivia Owens to attend her cold-hearted grandmother's seventieth birthday at the family's inherited Swiss castle, is the vault full of gold waiting in the castle's frigid dungeons. Assembling her old crew of high school criminals, now including her boyfriend Jackson, Olivia feels more prepared than ever for grand theft. But not everything is what it seems when they arrive. For starters, the reunion turns out to be less of a party and more of a wake. Her grandmother announces that she's dying... and plans to be buried with her fortune. Suddenly the entire greedy Owens clan turns their eyes toward Olivia's target. It's hard enough to steal something everyone's looking at, but an old backstabber, a new suitor, and an uninvited guest add fuel to the fire until Olivia is desperately trying to hold the pieces of her plan--and her crew--together. As Olivia faces her family's dark legacy of deceit, grift, and maybe even murder, she's forced to weigh how deeply she loves Jackson with how her love might destroy him. She didn't choose her family, but now she has to choose--who she loves, who she trusts, and who she's willing to risk to get what she wants. In a family of thieves, this might cost her everything.

Leverage
"A pulse-pounding plot propels a narrative steeped in the language and culture of tech bros....An exciting and timely debut of an original voice." --People, Best Books of the Month A hotshot hedge fund employee must risk everything to save his job--and his life--in this timely and darkly funny thriller about race, power, and the corrupting influence of the almighty dollar.

Desperate and depressed, Al turns to high finance's dark side, where he battles back-stabbing coworkers and cutthroat competitors and digs himself into an even deeper hole.

Metallic Realms
Fantastic universes and personal dramas collide as a group of friends blur the line between real life and fiction with delightfully disastrous results from the acclaimed author of the "timeless and original" (The New York Times) The Body Scout. Perennially single, socially awkward, and drowning in debt, Michael Lincoln finds his life has turned out nothing like the intergalactic lives of the pulp heroes of his youth. But these are pedestrian concerns--he has a higher calling, and that is to preserve for all posterity the greatest series in the history of the written word: The Star Rot Chronicles. Written collectively by Michael's best (and perhaps only) friend Taras K. Castle and his misfit science fiction writing group, the Orb 4, the stories follow Captain Baldwin and his fearless crew on their mind-bending adventures across the Metallic Realms, from solar whales swallowing suns at the edge of spacetime to extraterrestrial romances and interstellar wars. These masterpieces have gone tragically unpublished--until now. But the most urgent story Michael must tell takes place in the more intimate (if no less dramatic) confines of literary Brooklyn. Behind the greatest universe ever created, there are the all-too-mortal people who wrote it. As Michael chronicles the personal melodramas of the Orb 4 as well as the fun house reflections in their fiction, the line between real and unreal becomes dangerously thin, and the true reasons for the group's fallout begin to emerge. As he labors away in hiding, Michael has just one mission: to bring the Metallic Realms to the world. No matter the cost. -

Hit Girls: Britney, Taylor, Beyoncé, and the Women Who Built Pop's Shiniest Decade
An entertaining and deeply nostalgic dive into how female pop stars broke through the music industry in the 2000s and altered the cultural landscape forever, from the Ringer writer and Every Single Album podcast cohost "Hit Girls bridges our butterfly-clipped, bedazzled past with today's music world, revealing how the pop songs we belted in our bedrooms shaped everything we're streaming now."--Kate Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of One in a Millennial Low-rise jeans, butterfly clips, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and Paris Hilton's nights out. The early 2000s were a time of major moments in fashion, media, celebrity culture, and especially music. The aughts were a particularly fruitful era for female artists--still the only decade in the history of recorded music when women made up more than half the list of highest-grossing performers--and especially pop stars. Artists such as Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Beyoncé were leading the charge--their success not only leading to a new respect for female artists, but for pop stardom itself. In Hit Girls, Nora Princiotti examines how these artists redefined the role of the pop star within the music industry and culture more broadly, and fundamentally set the stage for the women who top the charts today. Princiotti unpacks the shifts in genre, technology, and celebrity culture that sparked this evolution through the stories of the biggest names in aughties pop. Like how Britney opened the bubblegum floodgates at the start of the decade, inspiring both copycats like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson and mall punk antagonists like Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson. Or how innovations in technology led to the rise of EDM as Rihanna experimented with sound while Ke$ha and Katy Perry embraced the "party anthem." Along the way, Princiotti explores how celebrity evolved alongside the changes in media from the tabloid days à la Lindsay Lohan to MySpace, Instagram and how Taylor created one of the largest, most dedicated fandoms the world has ever seen. The ultimate love letter to pop music, Hit Girls celebrates the women who revolutionized the genre, inspired the next generation, and--in some cases--are burning brighter than ever.Sold out
