New Releases by Rachel Hawkins

Um casamento bruxo, um feitiço fora de controle e um amor capaz de atravessar o tempo Do mesmo universo de A maldição do ex e O feitiço do beijo Viver isolado sempre foi a especialidade de Bowen Penhallow. Diferentemente de seus irmãos, Wells e Rhys, ele sempre preferiu se manter distante de situações socialmente desconfortáveis. Mas quando Declan, seu melhor amigo (e também um fantasma), pede que ele compareça a um casamento bruxo em uma mansão no interior do País de Gales, Bowen aceita a contragosto. Tamsyn Bligh não é bruxa, mas só tem uma carreira graças a elas. Como comerciante de artefatos mágicos raros, os negócios de Tamsyn nem sempre estão dentro da lei, embora ela esteja tentando mudar isso. E agora, com um convite em mãos para um casamento bruxo, ela tem a esperança de finalmente fazer uma venda grande o suficiente para se aposentar. Tudo que precisa fazer é pegar um item mágico de valor inestimável enquanto a cerimônia acontece e garantir seu futuro. O plano é simples… até ela cruzar o caminho de Bowen, um antigo cliente e protagonista recorrente de seus sonhos mais sensuais. Quando um feitiço poderoso lança os dois para o passado da mansão, para outro casamento ocorrido em 1957, Bowen e Tamsyn precisarão trabalhar juntos para acabar com a maldição da casa e encontrar o caminho de volta ao presente.... Ah, e lidar com o fato de que, em algum momento entre o passado e o presente, eles talvez estejam se apaixonando. O casamento da bruxa, terceiro volume da série de livros independentes iniciada por A maldição do ex e O feitiço do beijo, é um romance deliciosamente sexy e divertido em que um bruxo recluso e uma comerciante que vive à beira da ilegalidade são a única esperança para corrigir uma série de catástrofes após um feitiço enviá-los para mais de cinquenta anos no passado.

Em 1974, um retiro artístico numa villa resultou num livro brilhante, num disco épico e num crime. Agora, duas amigas vão lá de férias. Em crianças, Emily e Chess eram inseparáveis, mas, aos trinta anos, a ligação entre elas foi afetada pelas exigências da vida adulta. Por isso, quando Chess lhe sugere uma viagem a Itália, Emily aproveita a oportunidade para se reaproximar da melhor amiga. A Villa Aestas, em Orvieto, é agora uma luxuosa casa de férias. Porém, em 1974, era conhecida como Villa Rosato, e fora alugada para o verão por Noel Gordon, estrela de rock, que, a fim de reacender a chama criativa, convidara o músico em ascensão Pierce Sheldon para se juntar a ele, bem como a namorada de Pierce, Mari, e a meia-irmã desta, Lara. Até ao desse verão, Mari escreverá um dos maiores romances de terror de todos os tempos, Lara irá compor um álbum épico — e Pierce será brutalmente assassinado. À medida que Emily investiga a complicada história daquela moradia, começa a acreditar que talvez o assassinato de Pierce em 1974 não tenha sido apenas uma infeliz história de sexo, drogas e rock & roll, mas que algo sinistro possa ter acontecido — e que talvez haja pistas escondidas nas obras agora icónicas que Mari e Lara deixaram para trás. No entanto, quanto mais Emily se aproxima da verdade, assim também cresce a tensão entre ela e Chess. Enquanto segredos do passado vêm à tona, emergem também traições perigosas do presente — e a villa talvez faça outra vítima antes do fim do verão. Inspirada nos Fleetwood Mac, nos assassinatos de Manson e no infame verão que Percy e Mary Shelley passaram com Lord Byron num castelo do lago Genebra, na Suíça — o local de nascimento de Frankenstein —, Crime na Villa dá-lhe as boas-vindas a um legado mortal... O passado nunca vai de férias. Dura para sempre.

Uma história irresistível que mistura magia, rivalidade e romance Do mesmo universo de A maldição do ex, best-seller do New York Times Gwyn Jones finalmente encontrou seu equilíbrio em Graves Glen: sua loja de bruxaria vai de vento em popa, o coven que formou com sua mãe e sua prima está mais forte do que nunca e ela ainda se tornou mentora dos jovens bruxos da cidade. Mas toda essa paz desmorona quando Llewellyn Penhallow — Wells, para os íntimos — volta à cidade, decidido a se reconectar com suas raízes… e aparentemente, a complicar a vida de Gwyn. Abrir uma loja sofisticada bem em frente ao negócio de Gwyn? Feito. Provocar discussões acaloradas sempre que possível? Também. O problema é que, por trás do jeito esnobe e do sorriso irritantemente charmoso de Wells, há uma faísca que nem mesmo a magia consegue controlar. E quando um simples feitiço transforma uma discussão em um beijo avassalador, Gwyn percebe que manter distância pode ser a missão mais difícil de todas. Mas com um novo coven misterioso rondando a cidade e os poderes de Gwyn começando a falhar, ela e Wells terão que deixar de lado suas diferenças — e talvez ceder à tensão entre eles — antes que Graves Glen enfrente um perigo maior do que qualquer feitiço malfeito. Em O feitiço do beijo, Rachel Hawkins traz de volta magias sombrias e paixões ardentes do universo de A maldição do ex. Uma história cativante e divertida sobre segundas chances, beijos acidentais e a força que existe quando corações (e poderes) se unem.

Bestseller NEW YORK TIMES Un thriller spectral și complex. - WASHINGTON POST Emily și Chess, două scriitoare de succes, sunt prietene din copilărie și vor să-și reia relația la maturitate, plecând într-o vacanță în Italia. Vila Aestas din Orvieto e acum o luxoasă casă de vacanță, dar în 1974 se numea Vila Rosato și a fost scena unei tragedii cumplite. Nimeni nu a dezlegat enigma, deși în urma incidentului au apărut unul dintre cele mai mari romane horror din istorie și un album muzical multipremiat care fac trimitere la ea. Când află despre istoria complicată a vilei, Emily începe să creadă că n-a fost doar o poveste cu sex, droguri și rock & roll, iar indiciile s-ar putea găsi în cele două opere acum clasice. Pe măsură ce ies la lumină secrete din trecut, apar și trădări din prezent — iar vila mai face o victimă. Inspirată de Fleetwood Mac, crimele lui Charles Manson și vara petrecută de Percy și Mary Shelley cu Lordul Byron la castelul de la Lacul Geneva — locul de naștere al lui Frankenstein —, Vila te întâmpină cu moștenirea ei letală. Inteligentă și cu un umor malițios, Vila e un roman ca un labirint capricios, consolidat de cunoștințele evidente ale lui Hawkins despre convențiile gotice: manuscrise dispărute, aristocrați desfrânați, locuri izolate și altele la fel. – Washington Post Hawkins reușește să realizeze ceva aparent imposibil: un roman inspirat din Frankenstein care pare și nou, și unic. – Kirkus Reviews O tragedie alimentată de prietenie și gelozie profesională (…) Personaje puternice întregesc intriga alertă, care se mută curgător între prezent și 1974. – Publishers Weekly Rachel Hawkins este autoarea bestsellerelor The Wife Upstairs, Reckless Girls, Vila și The Heiress, precum și a numeroase titluri pentru cititorii tineri. Cărțile ei au fost traduse în mai mult de 12 de limbi. A studiat genul și sexualitatea în literatura victoriană la Auburn University și în prezent locuiește în Alabama.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A January 2024 Indie Next Pick and LibraryReads Pick "The reigning queen of the Gothic thriller." —Entertainment Weekly THERE''S NOTHING AS GOOD AS THE RICH GONE BAD. When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But in the aftermath of her death, her adopted son, Camden, wants little to do with the house or the money—and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes. Instead, he rejects his inheritance, settling into a normal life as an English teacher in Colorado and marrying Jules, a woman just as eager to escape her own messy past. Ten years later, his uncle’s death pulls Cam and Jules back into the family fold at Ashby House. Its views are just as stunning as ever, its rooms just as elegant, but the legacy of Ruby is inescapable. And as Ashby House tightens its grip on Jules and Camden, questions about the infamous heiress come to light. Was there any truth to the persistent rumors following her disappearance as a girl? What really happened to those four husbands, who all died under mysterious circumstances? And why did she adopt Cam in the first place? Soon, Jules and Cam realize that an inheritance can entail far more than what’s written in a will––and that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave.

As children, Emily and Chess were inseparable. But in their thirties, their bond has been weakened by the demands of their respective adult lives. So when Chess suggests a girls' trip to Italy, Emily jumps at the chance to reconnect with her best friend. Villa Aestas, in Orvieto, is today a luxury holiday home, but in 1974 it was known as Villa Rosato and, in the summer, it was rented by Noel Gordon, a well-known rock star. In an attempt to recapture his creative spark, Noel invites up-and-coming musician Pierce Sheldon to join him; also his girlfriend, Mari, and his stepsister, Lara. But it also sets in motion a series of events that lead Mari to write one of the greatest horror novels of all time, Lara to compose a platinum-selling album... and culminate in the brutal murder of Pierce. As Emily digs into the intricate history of the house, she begins to think that there might be more to the story of that fateful summer of 1974; that perhaps the Pierce murder was not just a story of sex, drugs, and rock and roll that got out of hand, but something far more sinister; and that there may be evidence hidden in the jobs that Mari and Lara left behind.

Meet Jane. Newly arrived to Birmingham, Alabama, Jane is a broke dog-walker in Thornfield Estates––a gated community full of McMansions, shiny SUVs, and bored housewives. The kind of place where no one will notice if Jane lifts the discarded tchotchkes and jewelry off the side tables of her well-heeled clients. Where no one will think to ask if Jane is her real name. But her luck changes when she meets Eddie Rochester. Recently widowed, Eddie is Thornfield Estates’ most mysterious resident. His wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident with her best friend, their bodies lost to the deep. Jane can’t help but see an opportunity in Eddie––not only is he rich, brooding, and handsome, he could also offer her the kind of protection she’s always yearned for. Yet as Jane and Eddie fall for each other, Jane is increasingly haunted by the legend of Bea, an ambitious beauty with a rags-to-riches origin story, who launched a wildly successful southern lifestyle brand. How can she, plain Jane, ever measure up? And can she win Eddie’s heart before her past––or his––catches up to her? With delicious suspense, incisive wit, and a fresh, feminist sensibility, The Wife Upstairs flips the script on a timeless tale of forbidden romance, ill-advised attraction, and a wife who just won’t stay buried. In this vivid reimagining of one of literature’s most twisted love triangles, which Mrs. Rochester will get her happy ending?

Rebel belle: "Seventeen-year-old Harper Price''s charmed life is turned upside down when she discovers she''s been given magical powers in order to protect her school nemesis David Stark, who''s an Oracle"--

From the New York Times bestselling author of Hex Hall comes the sparkling finale in the beloved Rebel Belle series. Just as Harper Price starts coming to terms with her role as David Stark''s battle-ready Paladin, protector, and girlfriend—her world goes crazy all over again. Overwhelmed by his Oracle powers, David flees Pine Grove and starts turning teenaged girls into Paladins—and these young ladies seem to think that Harper is the enemy David needs protecting from. Ordinarily, Harper would be able to fight off any Paladin who comes her way, but her powers have been dwindling since David left town, which means her life is on the line yet again.

Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. The Ephors have decided they’d rather train David than kill him.
