New Releases by Monica Murphy

Kold. Urørlig. Ufølsom. Det er det, de siger om mig på skolen. Der er kun én pige, der nogensinde ville kunne få mig til at ændre mig, og det er Amanda Winters. Men jeg knuste hendes hjerte. Så for at komme igennem high school prøver jeg at fokusere på at føre vores footballhold til finalen og komme ind på det college, jeg drømmer om. Og færdiggøre mit år som senior uden at flygte fra mine problemer. Men jo længere tid jeg tilbringer uden Amanda, jo mere savner jeg hende. Hendes smil. Hendes latter. De ting, hun sagde. Hvordan hun så på mig, som om jeg var den eneste person, der betød noget. Den måde, hun fik mig til at føle ... Hvorfor kan jeg ikke få det hele, inklusive pigen? Jeg er fast besluttet på at gøre det hele godt igen og vinde Amandas hjerte tilbage. For evigt.

Eden: Josh Evans and I have been best friends forever. He knows all my secrets, and I know all of his. So when he randomly asks me to help him lose his virginity, I sort of flip out. That’s a question that sends your mind to places you’ve seriously never considered before. Like, you know. Having sex. With your best friend. Except Josh doesn’t want to have sex with me—he wants me to help him find a girl. A nice girl, who’s funny and smart and cute. Except he already knows a girl just like that... Josh: Eden Sumner is my best friend. So of course she’d be the person to help me find my perfect match, so I can drop my V-card before I head off to college. Except the more we search, the more I realize that maybe the right girl has been by my side all along. I don’t need Eden’s help in finding me a girl to love. I’m pretty sure I’m already in love with Eden. But now she thinks I’m only after one thing...with anyone but her. Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book is what happens when American Pie meets Friends with Benefits. It contains two best friends, plenty of angst, and lots and lots of sex talk. Reading this might have you looking at your best friend in a different light!

The most fatal virus known to science, rabies-a disease that spreads avidly from animals to humans-kills nearly one hundred percent of its victims once the infection takes root in the brain. In this critically acclaimed exploration from the authors of Our Kindred Creatures, journalist Bill Wasik and veterinarian Monica Murphy chart four thousand years of the history, science, and cultural mythology of rabies. From Greek myths to zombie flicks, from the laboratory heroics of Louis Pasteur to the contemporary search for a lifesaving treatment, Rabid is a fresh and often wildly entertaining look at one of humankind''s oldest and most fearsome foes. "A searing narrative." -The New York Times "In this keen and exceptionally well-written book, rife with surprises, narrative suspense and a steady flow of expansive insights, ''the world''s most diabolical virus'' conquers the unsuspecting reader''s imaginative nervous system. . . . A smart, unsettling, and strangely stirring piece of work." -San Francisco Chronicle "Fascinating. . . . Wasik and Murphy chronicle more than two millennia of myths and discoveries about rabies and the animals that transmit it, including dogs, bats and raccoons." -The Wall Street Journal
