New Releases by Cecily von Ziegesar

Iedereen op Waverly Academy heeft het druk met de voor-bereidingen voor het jaarlijkse kerstfeest met pakjesavond. Maar het lijkt wel of de hele school zich aan het misdragen is! Het enige wat Brett wil is een rustige Kerstmis – en een kus van een zeker iemand onder de mistletoe. Jammer genoeg heeft Callie Vernon hetzelfde idee... Tinsley Carmichael hoeft dit jaar geen cadeautje, ze wil alleen haar nieuwe vriendje Julian. Maar wat gebeurt er als ze in plaats daarvan een duister geheim uit zijn verleden ontdekt? De kerstman weet precies of je lief bent geweest of stout... maar waarom zou je lief zijn als stout zijn zo veel leuker is?

Toen Jenny Humphrey een misdaad bekende die ze niet had begaan – de brandstichting waardoor de Miller Farm volledig uitbrandde – dacht ze dat haar leven op Waverly Academy voorbij was. Maar als op het laatste moment blijkt dat ze toch niet wordt geschorst, is ze het gesprek van de dag. Iedereen wil weten wie Jenny heeft gered, en daarom maakt ze een plan: op het jaarlijkse gemaskerde bal voor Halloween zal ze onthullen wie haar geheime aanbidder is.Callie Vernon weet wel wie haar prins op het witte paard is: Easy Walsh. Toen hij ontdekte dat zij en Tinsley Carmichael hebben geprobeerd Jenny van school te laten trappen, dumpte Easy haar ter plekke. Nu verkleedt Callie zich als Assepoester in de hoop zijn hart terug te winnen... Iedereen hoopt op een sprookjesachtig einde. Maar er kan maar één it-girl zijn!

In januari komt de nieuwe lichting studenten, en dat betekent: vers vlees! De campus van Waverly Academy staat op zijn kop door een beeldschone broer en zus. De lucht is vol van verliefdheid en de laatste roddels. Alle meiden kwijlen bij de nieuwe it-guy, maar ze zouden beter uit moeten kijken want zijn zus heeft het slecht met hen voor. Er kan tenslotte maar één it-girl zijn!

Welcome to New York City''s Upper East Side, where my friends and I live, go to school, play, and sleep-sometimes with each other.

So begins Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer, a re-imagined and expanded slasher edition of the first groundbreaking Gossip Girl novel, featuring all new grisly scenes and over-the-top gore by #1 New York Times bestselling author Cecily von Ziegesar.

But here''s where our dark tale takes a turn: Serena decides that the only way for her to make things right with Blair is to eliminate Nate. If that means killing him, well, c''est la vie. Her attempted murder doesn''t go unnoticed by Blair, however, who isn''t about to let Serena kill whoever she wants-not when there''s Cyrus Rose and Chuck Bass and Titi Coates and everyone else who''s ever irritated Blair to get rid of first . . . . American Psycho''s Patrick Bateman has met his match in Manhattan''s newest, most fabulous trendsetting serial killers, Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen.

Determined to assert herself and to shed her good-girl image, she buys cigarettes and condoms, because that''s what every self-respecting college girl does. Her edgy roommate, Eliza, came to Dexter to get noticed, and she has the attitude and the mouth to prove it. Then there''s Tom. Handsome, privileged, used to getting his own way, he''s a jock-turned-artist who thinks his paintings will change the world. Sensitive Nick, Tom''s wake-and-bake pot-smoking roommate, wants to follow in the footsteps of his boarding-school hero. And then there are brother and sister Adam and Tragedy Gatz. The freckle-faced farm boy lives at home with his parents and his little sister, who does all she can to stop him from being a wuss. As Shipley, Eliza, Tom, Nick, and Adam find out, that first year of college is more than credits and cramming. Between the lust and the love, the secrecy and the scandal, they''ll all receive an unexpected education. It''s a time of shifting alliances, unrequited crushes, and coming of age. Find Yourself is Dexter''s motto. And they are determined to do just that.
