Description: The
new Kinsey Millhone novel from the #1 New York Times- bestselling author.
Kinsey on
Kinsey: "I know there are people who believe you should forgive and
forget. For the record, I'd like to say I'm a big fan of forgiveness as long as
I'm given the opportunity to get even first."
-from V is
for Vengeance
A woman with
a murky past who kills herself-or was it murder? A dying old man cared for by
the son he pummeled mercilessly. A lovely woman whose life is about to splinter
into a thousand fragments. A professional shoplifting ring racking up millions
in stolen goods. A brutal and unscrupulous gangster. A wandering husband, rich
and powerful. A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt thinking he can beat the
system. A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers
that may be worse than the pain of his loss. An elegant but ruthless
businessman whose dealings are definitely outside the law: the spider at the
center of the web.
And Kinsey
Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves
her with two black eyes and a busted nose.
V: Victim.
Violence. Vengeance.

Shatter
Me by Tahereh Mafi
Release Date:
November 15
Publisher: HarperCollins
Description: Juliette
hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. The last time she did, it was an
accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why
Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one
really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a
17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find,
birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The
Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw
Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are
whispering war- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is
more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly
what they need right now.
Juliette has
to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
In this
electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting as The Hunger
Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding
romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh
and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers
anxiously awaiting its sequel.
