New Releases by Jessica Warman

Jessica Warman, author of Repeat After Me—now in development for a movie with Amazon Studios—returns with Drop Dead Darlings, a darkly funny, blood-soaked thriller where a group of teens must outwit the ultimate killer: the horror story that’s writing them.

She’s about to have a serious temporal tantrum. In retrospect, I probably should have passed on the ceviche. It was already a weird Friday. My class is stuck on an eerily remote island for our senior trip, I’m pretty sure Mr. D (“call me Max”) is hiding something from us, my ex–best friend turned nemesis keeps stealing my candy, and tonight’s plan for my boyfriend and me to finally lose our virginity to each other is going hellishly. I mean, ceviche is delicious, don’t get me wrong. But a dish made from a supposedly immortal octopus should really come with a warning label. Caution: consuming a telepathic sea creature of unknown origin may result in immortality, no consequences to any actions, and getting stuck in a time loop for all of eternity. Now every morning I wake up, and it’s the same Friday all over again. Same annoying classmates. Same island suspended in time by an evil oyster farmer with a God complex. Same outrageous candy theft. The only person I can count on to keep me from losing my grip on this new reality is Louis, my best friend who knows me better than anyone else in this world. This should be a cephalopod-induced nightmare but somehow—in some ridiculous way—I feel like I’m experiencing the extraordinary, the gift of endless opportunities to get things right. But when I wake up every morning and it’s Friday again, sometimes it feels more like a never-ending prison sentence. They say some things are worse than death... ...guess I’m about to find out. At Entangled Teen, we care about our readers' experience. Please be advised that this title is intended for ages 17+ and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Les adultes font la fête à l'étage, le soir du nouvel an. Samantha veille avec Remy, son meilleur ami, sur sa petite soeur, Tabitha. Elle dort paisiblement à leurs côtés. Soudain le père Noël entre dans la pièce, attrape Tabitha et l'emporte sous leur regard impuissant. À 17 ans, Sam revient avec sa famille sur les lieux du drame. La jeune fille retrouve Remy. Ensemble, ils réalisent qu'ils ont peut-être envoyé la mauvaise personne en prison...

Ten years ago, seven-year-old Samantha and her next door neighbor Remy watched helplessly as Sam's little sister was kidnapped. Later, Remy and Sam identified the man and he was sent to prison. Now, Sam's shattered family is returning to her childhood home in an effort to heal. As long-buried memories begin to surface, she and Remy wonder what they really saw. The more they re-examine the events of that fateful night, the more questions they have about what happened to Turtle . . . and they become more certain that Turtle's killer is still out there, hidden amongst the members of their tight-knit community. Master storyteller Jessica Warman keeps readers guessing in an arresting page-turner that questions whether the potential for evil lurks within us all.

Parfois, Alice et Rachel échangent leurs identités sans que personne ne s'en rende compte. Comme un jeu qui les amuse, sans conséquences. Mais un jour, lors d'une fête foraine avec leurs amis, Rachel disparaît. Alice est morte d'inquiétude, puis terrifiée lorsqu'elle commence à voir apparaître sur son corps des blessures étranges. Et tout leur entourage pense que la disparue est Alice...

Liz Valchar sempre teve tudo o que poderia desejar. Dinheiro, beleza, um namorado perfeito e, agora, uma festa de aniversário no iate particular, na companhia de seus cinco melhores amigos. Mas quando ela acorda no dia seguinte, percebe algo errado. Boiando na água, bem ali, entre o barco e o cais, está o corpo de uma adolescente. Ao observar melhor, Liz percebe horrorizada, que aquele é o seu corpo. E que ela está morta. A única companhia dela é Alex, um menino que morreu um ano antes em um acidente de carro. Juntos, tentarão solucionar o mistério da morte dela, reconstruindo seus últimos dias de vida.

La joven protagonista tendrá la oportunidad de aprender a vivir con una condición previa: debe morir primero. Aquella noche durmieron seis personas en el barco. Por la mañana solo quedaban cinco. Elizabeth Valchar celebra los dieciocho años con sus cinco mejores amigos en el barco de sus padres. Allí se quedan a dormir. De madrugada, un ruido constante la despierta, como un golpeo pesado, de algo vivo contra el barco, un pez grande quizá atrapado entre el muelle y la popa... Hace frío en la cubierta y Elizabeth se agarra con fuerza a la barandilla. Al llegar justo encima del sonido, mira hacia abajo y ve una persona, una chica como ella, empapada, anegada, boca abajo. Una historia de amor y de fantasmas. Un relato con moraleja con un apasionante comienzo y un ingenioso final.

Rachel and Alice are an extremely rare form of identical twins--so identical that even their aunt and uncle, whom they've lived with since their parents passed away when the girls were nine, can't tell them apart. The sisters are connected by an intense bond that goes way beyond their surfaces and borders on the supernatural: when one experiences pain, the other exhibits the exact same signs of stress, too. So when troubled Alice disappears mysteriously one night, good-girl Rachel knows something is wrong-especially when Rachel starts experiencing serious physical traumas, even though nobody has touched her. What Rachel can't tell anyone is that she and Alice sometimes switched places, reveling in the possibility of being the "good one" or the "bad one" for a day. And that Rachel . . . is really Alice, continuing to masquerade as her twin. So then, what happened to her sister? Could whoever abducted her sister really have meant to take her, instead? And can she find the real Rachel before it's too late for both of them?

Quand la perfection et la beauté cachent une terrible vérité. Elizabeth menait une vie de rêve. Presque parfaite... Le jour de ses 18 ans, elle meurt brutalement. Meurtre ou accident, qui pourra le découvrir ? Une seule personne : Elizabeth elle-même...

Liz (ik-figuur) wordt in de nacht van haar achttiende verjaardag, die ze met vrienden op het jacht van haar ouders heeft gevierd, wakker van een hardnekkig gebonk. Als ze de oorzaak van het gebonk ontdekt, verandert alles. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar.

Emily, whose father is headmaster of a Connecticut boarding school, suffers from nightmares, and when she meets and falls in love with the handsome Del Sugar, pieces of her traumatic past start falling into place.
