Verschwunden
Frauen werden im ländlichen Virginia tot aufgefunden – alle auf groteskte Weise getötet – und als das FBI den Fall übernimmt sind sie ratlos. Ein Serienmörder ist unterwegs, die Abstände zwischen den Morden werden immer kürzer und sie wissen, dass nur ein Agent gut genug ist um den Fall zu lösen: Spezialagentin Riley Paige. Riley ist beurlaubt, um sich von ihrer Begegnung mit dem letzten Serienmörder zu erholen, und so zerbrechlich wie sie ist, widerstrebt es dem FBI ihren brillianten Kopf zu nutzen. Trotzdem nimmt Riley, die sich ihren eigenen Dämonen entgegenstellen muss, den Fall an und ihre Suche führt sie durch die verstörende Subkultur von Puppensammlern, in die Häuser von zerbrochenen Familien, und in die dunkelsten Ecken des Verstandes eines Mörders. Während Riley sich Schicht für Schicht durch den Fall arbeitet wird ihr bewusst, dass sie es mit einem Killer zu tun hat, der verdrehter ist als sie es sich hätte vorstellen können. In einem wilden Wettlauf mit der Zeit wird Riley bis an ihr Limit gebracht – ihr Job steht auf dem Spiel, ihre eigene Familie ist in Gefahr und ihre zerbrechliche Psyche kurz vor einem Kollaps. Aber sobald Riley Paige einen Fall annimmt gibt sie nicht auf, bis er gelöst ist. Er vereinnahmt sie, führt sie in die dunkelsten Ecken ihres eigenen Verstandes, verwischt die Grenze zwischen Jäger und Gejagtem. Nach einer Reihe von unerwarteten Wendungen führen ihre Instinkte sie zu einem schockierenden Finale, das alle überrascht. VERSCHWUNDEN, ein düsterer Psychothriller mit Spannung die für Herzklopfen sorgt, ist das Debüt einer fesselnden neuen Serie – und einer faszinierenden neuen Heldin – die uns bis spät in die Nacht wachhält. Band 2 in der Riley Paige Serie ist bald erhältlich.

If you are into adventure, love and vampires this book is the one for you!"" –Vampirebooksite.com {regarding Turned} RESURRECTED is Book #9 of the Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with TURNED (Book #1)–a FREE download! In RESURRECTED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine finds herself changing in mysterious ways. She is becoming sensitive to light, able to read peoples’ thoughts, and is faster and stronger than she’s ever been. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her, and tries to ignore it. But she can only dismiss it for so long. Caitlin Paine, her mom, knows too well what’s happening to her daughter. She underwent the same transformation to vampire once, centuries ago. But now, in the present day, as a mere human, she has no memory of it. All she has is the journal she found in the attic—her mysterious vampire journal—telling of her exploits in another time and place, and of the vampire race being eradicated. But was there one exception to the rule? Could it be that Scarlet, her daughter, is the last remaining vampire on earth? As Scarlet tries to fight who she’s becoming, she also tries to fight her intense feelings for Blake, a boy in her grade who she has a crush on. She can’t tell, though, if he’s into her, and with the big Halloween dance just days away, the pressure is on. She would do anything for Blake to ask her. But Vivian, the meanest of the popular girls, is also on Blake’s radar, and she’ll do anything to make Blake hers—and to make Scarlet’s life a living hell. Luckily Scarlet has her own clique of friends to back her up, including her best friends Maria and Jasmin. They, too, have guy troubles—but it isn’t until Sage appears, the mysterious new boy, that her friends become obsessed. Scarlet finds herself attracted to him, too—and is surprised when it is her, of all the girls in the school, that he pays attention to. But her mind is set on Blake, at least for now, and she continues to hope he’ll ask her to the dance. Just when it seems that Scarlet has what she wants, her body changes. Soon it may be impossible for her to be near her fellow humans. Soon, she may have to choose between her desire to live and her desire for love.

Porwana
“Napisany po mistrzowsku thriller! Autor doskonale zbudował postacie i tak dobrze przedstawił ich psychologiczną stronę, że czujemy jakbyśmy byli w ich głowach, czuli ich strach i cieszyli się ich sukcesami. Fabuła jest niezwykle inteligentnie zbudowana i utrzymuje w napięciu do samego końca. Liczne zwroty akcji sprawią, że nie zaśniesz, dopóki nie przeczytasz tej książki aż do ostatniej strony.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (o książce Porwana) Na północy stanu Nowy Jork ktoś morduje kobiety i wiesza ich ciała owinięte łańcuchami. Ze względu na nietypowy charakter morderstw oraz całkowity brak śladów, wezwane do zdarzenia FBI zleca sprawę jedynej osobie, na którą mogą liczyć w tym przypadku: Riley Page. Riley, próbująca się otrząsnąć po ostatniej sprawie, niechętnie podejmuje się kolejnego zadania, nadal przekonana, że dawny seryjny morderca nadal żyje i ją prześladuje. Wie jednak, że jej umiejętność wejścia w umysł zabójcy oraz jej obsesyjna natura są niezbędne do rozwikłania tej zagadki i nie jest w stanie odmówić – nawet jeśli oznacza to dla niej przekroczenie własnych granic. W czasie poszukiwań Riley wnika mocno w umysł mordercy, odwiedza sierocińce, szpitale psychiatryczne i więzienia, próbując zrozumieć głębię jego psychozy. Kiedy zdaje sobie sprawę z tego, że ma do czynienia z prawdziwym psychopatą, wie, że nie minie dużo czasu zanim ten znowu uderzy. Jednak kiedy jej praca wisi na włosku, jej własna rodzina staje się celem, a jej krucha psychika zaczyna się łamać, może ją to wszystko przerosnąć – i być za późno na działanie. PORWANA to mroczny thriller psychologiczny z trzymającym w napięciu suspensem. Jest to druga książka z nowej, porywającej serii – z ulubioną bohaterką – która nie pozwoli ci przerwać lektury do późnych godzin nocnych. Książka nr 3 z serii o Riley Paige już jest dostępna!
