New Releases by Gretchen McNeil

For fans of Midsommar, Catriona Ward, and Sarah Gailey, this addictively readable modern horror novel unfolds like a movie with a climax you’ll never see coming When Jen Monre hears her father's remains have been found, she returns home to disprove his death, only to find the forests of rural Washington are hiding horrors beyond imagining Seven years ago, Jen Monre left behind her hometown of Barrow, Washington after her father, a forest ranger passionate about protecting old trees from the aggressive logging business that runs their small town, vanished seemingly into thin air. She never wanted to come home again. Until she gets a call: her father's remains have been found. It seems impossible. So Jen goes home, determined to find out what really happened to her father. And when her ex-boyfriend proposes a camping trip into the woods in her father's memory, it feels like the opportunity Jen had been hoping for: to find her father. To find the truth. But what she finds instead may be something deeper, darker and deadlier than she could have ever imagined.

In this pulse pounding thriller, Izzy and her family welcome an exchange student into their home. But after a series of mishaps and coincidences, and with a serial killer on the loose, Izzy begins to suspect the young man is not who he seems. For most of her life, Izzy has been looking forward to fulfilling her mother’s dream of studying abroad in Italy. Going into her senior year, Izzy is counting down the days until she can leave her humdrum life behind, until Alberto, a handsome and mysterious Italian exchange student shows up for his stay with her family. Now life in her hometown doesn’t seem so drab, as Izzy, and everyone else, is immediately charmed by Alberto and his irresistible accent. But something about Alberto isn’t quite...right. As an avid true crime fan, Izzy has been following a serial killer case in San Francisco and the murderer, whose description bears a passing resemblance to the Italian exchange student living in her house, seems to have made his way north. As Izzy pays closer attention to Alberto—his actions, his temper—she finds more and more holes in his story that he has trouble explaining away. When a local girl is murdered, Izzy thinks Alberto might not be who he seems. Worse, a series of “accidents” seem to target Izzy herself. In a race against the clock, Izzy must convince anyone that Alberto could be a notorious killer before another girl ends up dead.

A Netflixen látható sorozat várva várt folytatása! A Ne Légy Dühös tagjai már nem pusztán dühösek... Félnek. És most, hogy Margot kómába került, Bree pedig házi őrizetben van, Olivia és Kitty feladata, hogy elkapják a halálosan veszélyes bántalmazójukat. De ahogy a lányok támadásba lendülnek, Ed the Head megdöbbentő titokra jön rá, ami minden addigi elméletüket a feje tetejére állítja. A gyilkos bárki lehet, és ez alkalommal nem a bosszúállás az egyetlen célja. A lányok kétségbeesetten próbálnak rájönni, ki a gyilkos, miközben a saját életük darabjaira hullik: Donté eltávolodik Kittytől, és úgy tűnik, hogy neki is van egy saját titka. Bree el van zárva a külvilágtól, édesanyja testőrének éber szemei vigyázzák minden lépését. Olivia anyukája pedig érzelmi spirálba került. A gyilkos egyre közelebb kerül hozzájuk, a fenyegetések egyre személyesebbé válnak, és amikor a rendőrség nem hajlandó meghallgatni a lányokat, azoknak nincs más választásuk, mint szembeszállni névtelen „barátjukkal”, vagy belehalnak. NE LÉGY DÜHÖS

Bree Deringerben, Olivia Hayesben, Kitty Weiben és Margot Mejiában nincsen semmi közös. Legalábbis szeretnék, ha az elit magániskolájuk tanulói és vezetősége is ezt gondolnák. A lányoknak különbözőek a céljaik, különbözőek a barátaik, és az életkörülményeik is mások, viszont összeköti őket egy óriási titok: mindannyian tagjai a Ne Légy Dühösnek, egy titkos társaságnak, amely névtelenül áll bosszút az iskola rosszfiúin, a gonoszkodó lányokon és a zsarnok tanárokon. A legutóbbi célpontjuk azonban holtan végzi, mégpedig úgy, hogy egy vérrel átitatott NLD-kártya van a kezében. A lányoknak szembesülniük kell azzal, hogy nem olyan névtelenek, mint gondolták – és minden jel arra mutat, hogy valakik vagy valaki bosszút forral ellenük. Miközben a különös csoport tagjai mindent megtesznek, hogy rájöjjenek, ki a gyilkos, olyan titkokat és hazugságokat is felfedeznek, amelyek megrengetik amúgy is törékeny barátságuk alapjait. Ahogy telik az idő, egyre több és több nyom gyűlik össze, és természetesen a rendőrség is vizsgálatot folytat az ügyben. Szép lassan az is kiderül, hogy mindenkinek van veszítenivalója. A Nulladik óra és Hazug csajok társaságának hangulata találkozik Gretchen McNeil szellemes és feszültséggel teli regényében, amely négy különböző személyiségű lányról szól, akik összefognak, hogy bosszút álljanak néhány középiskolai zaklatón, és közben veszélyes ellenségeket szereznek maguknak. Tökéletes választás az E. Lockhart, Karen M. McManus és Maureen Johnson rajongók számára.

And unless Neve can stop her, she won't be the last. In this twisted game of cat and mouse, the reader never quite knows who's telling the truth, who's playing games, and who is going to end up dead.
