Blood on Her Tongue (Deluxe Edition) A Novel

JOHANNA VAN VEEN Where does my sister end and She begin?

The Netherlands, 1887. When her twin sister becomes distressingly obsessed with a recently-found bog body, Lucy initially believes the doctor’s diagnosis of temporary insanity caused by a fever of the brain. But when Sarah’s behavior becomes ever more disturbing, Lucy is forced to consider the idea that something else is causing the changes in her sister, something old and intelligent and intent on staying, even if that means devouring Sarah.

Lucy desperately tries to unravel the mystery surrounding her sister's obsession with the bog body. Who were they? How did they end up buried in the mud, a stone in their mouth? And what do they want?

When Sarah dies unexpectedly - and returns - the evidence mounts that something is indeed consuming her sister (may, in fact, already have consumed her completely), Lucy must decide what is worse: having a parasitic entity that is also partly Sarah for a sister, or no sister at all.

A buzz-worthy author booksellers love: Johanna's debut, My Darling Dreadful Thing (May 24) was featured on several Best Horror of the Year lists, had a cover reveal on Tor and inclusion on all major SFF/Horror roundups, and is being developed as a tv series. Her new book, Blood on Her Tongue, is already receiving incredible praise, including: "Johanna Van Veen has done it again. Her debut...was one of my favorite books to come out this year, and dare I say that Blood on Her Tongue is even better." - Claire Knox, BookPeople (Austin, TX).

Hungry for blood: readers are consistently seeking out new "vampire stories" in the vein of What Moves the Dead, A Dowry of Blood, Vampires of El Norte, and Mexican Gothic, and Blood on Her Tongue fits the bill.

Story and author location: the story takes place in the late 19th century Netherlands and the author lives in the Netherlands; she does come to the US periodically.

Believing that the murderer must have been one of the beachgoers, Cockrill faces what looks like an impossible puzzle—one that must be solved before the island’s own police force delivers the wrong suspect to their doom.

Few were disappointed when Raoul Vernet was found with his head bashed in, dead in a pool of his own blood. On vacation in England, the Belgian seducer comes to visit Matilda, an old flame from a few years before. She agrees despite suspicions that Vernet has been deploying his legendary charm on another member of the family: young Rosie, who has returned from her Swiss boarding school carrying a child.

Story of My Life (Deluxe Edition) LUCY SCORE The first in an all-new laugh-out-loud romance series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lucy Score.

A Gilmore Girls meets Schitt’s Creek redemption comedy.

Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a breakup drives her straight into writer’s block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, she’s hiding from the world behind a wall of old takeout containers until her publisher lays down the law.

If she misses her next deadline it’s The End. Desperate for inspiration, Hazel impulse-buys a historic home online and flees Manhattan to tiny Story Lake, PA. Upon her dramatic arrival —involving an incident with a bald eagle—she discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.

The house is a wreck and the town is struggling after their biggest employer shut down. Also, since her raccoon-infested home came with a seat on the town council our introverted heroine is stuck with a front row seat to all the small-town shenanigans.

But Hazel isn’t worried. Not since all six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor Campbell Bishop slapped a bandage on her forehead and unintentionally inspired the heck out of her. There’s only one thing to do: Hire Cam and his equally gorgeous brothers to renovate her new spider museum…er…house.

Okay two things. A fake date for “research purposes” will really put her work-in-progress on track. Before Hazel knows it, she’s writing a romance novel and living one. At least until the drywall dust settles, the town she’s falling in love with faces bankruptcy, and growly Cam remembers why he can’t live happily ever after.

When Billie invites the girls her boyfriend is talking to behind her back to a "revenge party," the last thing she expects is to meet her gorgeous single-dad landlord in the fallout.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.

Though "friends" might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup—a cowboy Casanova who never rests his head on the same pillow twice. He’s exactly what I’m looking for.

If only Wyatt wasn’t also my best friend… I’m back in my hometown of Harstville, Texas, for a few months while I wait for my dream job to start thousands of miles away. Wyatt and I have been best friends since second grade, and I’ve been in love with him for almost as long. But he’s as wild and untamed as a colt that can’t be broken.

Then I get to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn’t he teach me the ropes of how to find a hookup?

He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting suddenly leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real…well, everything else. Now, I want so badly to be Wyatt’s last rodeo.

But I’m leaving town, and even if I wasn’t, I’m not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways. I know cowboys can’t be tamed.

My dad and I have been estranged for years, but it’s no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies - I just have to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money.

There’s just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch’s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don’t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. I’d fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch. We’re enemies from the get-go. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing.

Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary.

And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn’t already lassoed mine…

Sawyer is the third standalone book in the steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch series by Jessica Peterson.

Sweet Obsession KATEE ROBERT New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert brings the heat in this series of sizzling modern Greek myth retellings Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen...right into the rough hands of Olympus’s own Poseidon. Being held captive by the quiet giant wouldn’t be so bad if Olympus wasn’t in the process of falling all around them. Or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes.

Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit the increasingly bratty prisoner he's been saddled with overseeing, but he has no choice: Olympus is o cially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for the sworn enemy of Olympus...and the more he begins to realize that Icarus may not be the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds di cult to ignore or deny, no matter how impossible their romance may be.

With Circe and the Aeneans at the gate and Olympus a hair's breath away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a di cult choice: about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber only to threaten to break it for good...

At least they would be if they weren’t at each others’ throats instead.

Hera has no intention of letting her husband, Zeus, survive the oncoming storm. She will be the death of him, even if that means selling her very soul to see it done. But despite the white-hot hatred that burns between them, when Hera and Zeus are forced to work together in the first wave of the onslaught, enmity crystalizes into something brighter. Hotter. Just as likely to emulate them from the inside as it is to destroy their now-shared enemy.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called "Lady Death." It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive.

Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years.

But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal. Intrigued, Wes goes to the source to learn more—only to discover Nadine had the exact same idea...and the infuriating woman isn’t willing to respect dibs. Typical.

At first, Dot refuses to speak to either of the squabbling pair, but then they receive an unusual request—work together, and Dot will share everything. The o er seems too good to be true...and of course, it is: in a bitter twist of irony, Dot dies for real before she can finish recounting her story. Not all is lost, however. The estate’s executor allows Wes and Nadine access to Dot’s sprawling wonderland of a mansion for three weeks to find their answer. That’s three weeks of working together...three weeks of endless sweltering in tight spaces...three weeks of learning there could be something more between them than a desire to win at any cost.

Oregon, 1888. Amid the subterranean labyrinth of Portland’s Shanghai Tunnels, a woman awakens disoriented in a dank underground cell.

Though no stranger to upholding a façade, being half Chinese yet passing as white during a time of rising hatred against Chinese immigrants in America, she’s perplexed by the male disguise she's wearing. Of more pressing concern, however, are the dangers she faces as a crimped, or “Shanghaied,” sea bound to work as forced labor.

ILISE CARTER An examination of America's long and dark history with the occult and how the spiritualist movement has forever changed our understanding of politics, science, and pop culture.

Spiritualism's influence a ects every corner of society. As political as it is spiritual, the movement was once defined by the belief that the living could speak freely with the dead, and that the dead spoke back.

Since the mid-1800s, Americans have increasingly embraced occult rituals that have been stripped of their darkness and shined up like a lucky penny. But how did these once forbidden practices, like séances and horoscope readings, enter the mainstream?

Read This to Look Cool Essays and Overthinkings

MAEVE DUNIGAN For fans of Dolly Alderton or Samantha Irby, Read This to Look Cool is a hilarious and insightful collection of essays exploring the woes of growing up online, social anxiety, and constantly trying to portray an artificial version of yourself.

We've all done things to seem cool, to fit in, to project bad-bitch confidence while secretly wondering, "Is everyone mad at me?"

Sometimes that anxiety manifests itself in over-curated Instagram posts or pretending to like matcha-flavored ice cream. But in Maeve Dunigan's case it's taken more extreme forms, like letting her appendix rupture in a McDonald's because she didn't want her friend to think she was flaky. Like Maeve, so many of us are willing to jump through bizarre hoops in futile attempts to control others’ perceptions of ourselves.

Days after her twelfth birthday, Everly “Benny” Benedict learns she’s the heir to a fortune! But to collect the inheritance, she first has to play—and win—a game. Following clues that her ancestor left, Benny must locate a small island that vanished long ago, according to legend.

She has only two weeks to play the game and find the island. If she’s successful, she’ll break a two-hundred-year-old curse. If she fails, the fortune will be forfeited.

The Island of Forgotten Gods VICTOR PIÑEIRO When Nico decides to spend his summer with his abuela and cousins in Puerto Rico, he didn’t expect to be hunted by the legendary chupacabra. But soon he discovers that the only way to save the island is by facing the very gods who created it. From the author of Time Villains comes a new fantastical adventure about family, tradition, and seeing things for what they truly are.

Nico wants to be a film director. So far his creativity has been limited to short videos he puts out on social media, but he has grand plans to put together a real movie soon. The catch? His parents are sending him to Puerto Rico for the summer, to stay with his iconic (but carless) Abuela Luciana and his cousins, who are Abuela Summer veterans. Still, he wants to make the best of “the boringest summer ever” (as his cousins put it) by filming his masterpiece.

But when filming begins they spot a gargoyle-like creature that can only be one thing: the legendary chupacabra. And this creature begins following them, chasing them when they’re alone at night, and seemingly hunting them down. At the same time, a strange cult also seems to have it in for the trio, hoping to capture them first.

Soon they are thrown into a horror-tinged adventure that brings them face-to-face with ancient Tainos, even more ancient Taino gods, and the mysterious chupacabra, who is somehow linked to everything— including their enigmatic Abuela. Nico hopes that his documentary capturing all of these mythic characters catapults him to stardom, but it might lead to his island’s downfall. And in the end, it is the island’s fate that hangs in the balance, as the trio faces down the very gods that created Puerto Rico.

Great Concept: Ancient gods, legendary monsters, a gorgeous island backdrop, and fantastic characters all work together in this pitch-perfect middle-grade fantasy. We are pivoting from his debut series with a standalone fantasy and breaking him out in a new genre.

When a strange invitation shows up in Sarah’s backpack, the Deltas learn that their favorite funhouse, The Delta Game, is about to get some serious competition. The “Mystery Mansion” is opening just miles away and the ominous and cryptic owner has invited Sarah, West, and Hannah to come test it on opening day. It claims to be the biggest and best escape house ever, and based on the photos of gleaming rooms filled with high-tech puzzles, it just might be.
