New Releases by Jessica Sorensen

When I was fifteen, I went for a walk in the woods. I was never the same again. I was told to bury what I saw happen and to never speak of it again. But secrets have a way of eating you alive until nothing is left, and seven years later, I''m in the middle of a divorce and trying to start over when I receive a call from my mother, telling me my father has died. Now, I have to return to the place that holds every one of my dark secrets. Everything appears to be the same: the town, my family, even the woods. But secrets are weeping out of the weakening branches, and I discover that my father''s death might not have been an accident. I need answers. But finding them means digging into a past I''ve spent years trying to forget.

Silent Parties ist ein auf acht historischen Rechtsfällen basierendes Gesamtkunstwerk. Die Arbeit des Künstlerduos benandsebastian im Auftrag des Gerichts von Aarhus konzentriert sich auf nicht-menschliche Protagonisten in der Rechtsgeschichte und untersucht Fälle, in denen Tiere oder Roboter im Mittelpunkt von Rechtsstreitigkeiten standen. Von einem Verfahren aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, in dem ein Hahn wegen des angeblichen Legens eines Eis vor Gericht stand, bis hin zu einem aktuellen Fall, in dem verhandelt wurde, ob lebensgroße, singende und tanzende Roboter einer amerikanischen Restaurantkette als lebende Darsteller behandelt werden sollten. benandsebastian haben mit Expert*innen aus den Bereichen Recht, Robotik, Ethik, Anthropologie und Kognitionswissenschaft zusammengearbeitet, um herauszufinden, auf welche Weise Nichtmenschen in der Rechtsgeschichte zwar stumme, aber dennoch für das Denken ihrer Zeit aufschlussreiche Parteien waren.

My new life in Honeyton is becoming complicated. It all starts when I hear my uncle talking about some sketchy stuff that may have to do with me.

And I''m still being blackmailed by someone. I need to figure out the truth about my past and fast.

But I''m pretty sure he might be keeping a secret from me. After a little digging around, I discover I''m right. But the truth is way more complicated, and maybe even dangerous, than I thought.

As Violet spends time with Luke, she becomes torn on whether she should be with him. She definitely can''t deny that her life is better when she''s with Luke and she starts to wonder if going back to Preston was a mistake. Things seem to be going well as Violet opens up more to Luke, but then she gets a call from the detective, not only to give an update on Mira Price and the case, but to give information about some threatening texts she''s been getting. The information is not only shocking, but makes Violet question what kind of people her parents really where and whether she''ll be able to trust anyone ever again.

Things are going well for Callie and Kayden. They''re still dealing with their past and the pain connected to it, but for the most part they''ve moved on.

But Callie and Kayden learn that as long as they have each other, they can make it through just about anything. And in the end, they discover what they really want out of life.
