SISTER. RIVAL. PROTECTOR.
Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie’s dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past.
Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background. Although her parents may overlook her talents, her ability to read hieroglyphs makes her invaluable at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society.
But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever.
Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, has taken on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story that she can undo the mistakes of the past.

An ambitious debut retelling of the Irish mythic figure of The Morrigan, Ireland’s captivating goddess of war, power and fury
From an ancient, storm-tossed sea, a tribe of gods reach the rocky shores of Ireland.
Among them, a strange, hungry, red-haired girl. A girl who can change shape, from bird to beast to goddess. A girl who dreams of battle, of blood, of death and power.
She does not know yet that her journey will take a thousand years. That her name will be remembered for a thousand more.
She is The Morrigan: a girl with rage coiled in her chest. Beautiful, powerful, ravenous rage. A rage that will live forever.
An electric retelling of Ireland’s mythic goddess of war, from a bold and powerful new voice.
When investigative journalist Miren Triggs is sent a photo of Gina Pebbles – a girl who’s been missing for a decade – she doesn’t know what to think.
Before she has a chance to follow the trail, though, she’s called to investigate a shocking case nearby. A teenage girl has been found crucified in a church in the suburbs.
Desperate for answers, Miren is torn between trying to catch a killer, and find the missing girl.
But could it be possible that these cases are linked? Someone sent Miren that photo. Someone tipped her off to the murder.
But who? And why? And can Miren find the truth, before she becomes the target?

Now, he lives with a mysterious and terrifying new power.
Drawn together by a fierce and irresistible bond, they must dive into the secrets that surround them both.
And when dark truths are uncovered, the witching hour begins.
The Mayfair Witches are in danger.
There is a new, unimaginable threat to the family – the Taltos, a species gifted with preternatural knowledge who created Lasher, the being who gave the witches their power and
almost destroyed them.
Unknown to the Mayfairs, another Taltos still lives. And Rowan is still tied to the grief of the past, unable to move on.
But as the witching hour comes to an end, Rowan must find the courage once again to face her past and, together with Michael, confront the legacy of the Mayfair Witches head on.

From Willow Smith and Jess Hendel comes a powerful and groundbreaking historical epic about an African warrior in the world of the Vikings.
Lore, legend, and history tell us of the Vikings: warrior-kings on epic journeys of conquest and plunder. But the stories we know are not the only stories to tell. There is another story, one that has been lost to the mists of time: the saga of the dark queen.
That saga begins with Yafeu, a defiant yet fiercely compassionate young warrior who is stolen from her home in the flourishing Ghanaian empire and taken as a slave to a distant kingdom in the North. There she is thrust into a strange, cold world of savage shield maidens, tyrannical rulers, and mysterious gods.And there she also finds something unexpected: a kindred spirit. She comes to serve Freydis, a shy princess who couldn’t be more different than the confident and self-possessed Yafeu.
But they both want the same thing: to forge their own fate. Yafeu inspires Freydis to dream of a future greater than the one that the king and queen have forced upon her. And with the princess at her side, Yafeu learns to navigate this new world and grows increasingly determined to become one of the legendary shield maidens.
For Yafeu may have lost her home, but she still knows who she is, and she’s not afraid to be the flame that burns a city to the ground so a new world can rise from the ashes. She will alter the course of history - and become the revolutionary heroine of her own myth.

Evie Waters, the one-time, very careless owner of his heart. A heart he has no intention of giving away ever again, therefore he needs to come up with a plan to make sure that doesn’t happen.

There’s just one tiny snag. Her brother’s best friend just asked her to be his fake girlfriend. Her brother’s best friend who she’s been in love with since the first time she saw him.
Evie’s reappearance makes it hard for Charlie to focus on anything but repelling her advances. While Violet is now immersed in the role of a lifetime.
As Charlie and Violet spend more time together, it soon becomes hard to tell where the acting ends and real life begins, especially when Charlie starts looking at Violet the way she’s always looked at him.

At a time when women are more vocal than ever about our lives, there's one last taboo. We need to talk about porn.
When we think about porn today, we still mostly think about men. Men as the producers and the consumers. Women as the product. Most women aren't talking to each other about what they do and don't do with porn - not really. And when we do talk about it, we are divided into unhelpful binaries: for or against? Liberation or coercion? Too sexual or not sexual enough? But in a world where porn sites get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon plus Twitter combined, and one of the leading sites claims a third of its users are women, isn't it time to change that?
In this book, interviews with 100 women result in an extraordinary and powerful conversation on pornography. How they first encountered it. How they consume it. How it has affected their sex lives. What they like and what they don't. And what it means for their relationships.
Eye-opening, provocative and deeply moving, this book navigates the polarised public debates, to open an intimate window into porn and the sexual lives of women today.

Jej śmierć pozostaje zagadką dla jej bliskich i całej wioski Autorka do Islandii prowadzi nas z popowstaniowej Warszawy roku 1864 przez Kraków i Kopenhagę. W toku wartkiej narracji i wielowątkowej intrygi przypominającej filmowy fresk poznajemy losy Laury, która nie umie wybaczyć sobie niezawinionej winy, i jej córki Sigrid, która próbuje obłaskawić przeszłość. Bohaterowie kochają, nienawidzą, walczą z banałem życia, które starają się nagiąć do swoich marzeń. Nie oderwiemy się od tej lektury, zanim nie dowiemy się, czy im się udało! Powieść Agnieszki Kumor inspiruje do borykania się z każdym dniem, z życiem. Fikcja staje się tu prawdą. Bardzo namawiam do lektury (Maja Komorowska) Intrygująca gra przypadków.

Najnowsza powieść autora głośnego Bidula Kacper nie radzi sobie za dobrze po śmierci matki. Nie pomaga mu też postawa ojca, który całą swoją uwagę poświęca młodszej o dwadzieścia lat partnerce, zapominając zupełnie o synu. Chłopiec postanawia napisać do zmarłej mamy e-mail. Dzięki nagranym na dyktafon rozmowom najbliższych i znajomych zdaje jej relację z każdego dnia. Dzieli się swoimi spostrzeżeniami, dokonaniami, ale też niepokojami i rozczarowaniami. Opowiada o pierwszej miłości i planach na przyszłość. I wciąż nie może zrozumieć, dlaczego w życiu ojca zabrakło dla niego miejsca. Z wyłowionych uchem rozmów powstaje obraz wielopokoleniowej, mieszkającej na prowincji rodziny, zmagającej się z problemami i pokusami współczesnego świata. Śmierć, próby samobójcze, nałogi, zdrada, poczucie odrzucenia czy to nie zbyt wiele jak na kilkutygodniowe wakacje dla mierzącego się ze stratą nastolatka? W bardzo autentycznych, kreślonych bezkompromisowym piórem dialogach autor ukazuje diagnozę współczesnej polskiej rodziny, ale też społeczeństwa. I choć wiele w niej goryczy, to prozę autora cechuje także wysokiej próby komizm. Trudno nie odnieść wrażenia, że najczęściej jest to jednak śmiech przez łzy.
