Book excerpt: No one with half a brain would rob the jungle's most notorious energy cartel—but their power-producing stones are the only thing that soothes Cacao's mysterious pain, and after being banished from his homeland for similar thefts, the lonely naga is desperate enough to try. When his ramshackle thievery goes wrong, a chaotic escape leaves him chained to the cartel's prisoner: a self-proclaimed hero with a hidden stash of power stones so large that Cacao would never need to steal again. He's determined to get his hands on it, even if it means guiding the annoyingly smug, annoyingly valiant, and even more annoyingly beautiful hero back home. But their path runs straight through the mist-laden and monster-filled swamp that exiled Cacao, with scheming poachers and a desperate cartel leader on their tail. The selfish and the self-righteous can only flee together for so long before something snaps... Return to the These Treacherous Tide's steampunk-inspired world of mermaids and reimagined mythological creatures in this fast-paced, standalone adventure with an insult-slinging, opposites attract, hate-to-love romance between a grouchy thief and a sassy, self-proclaimed hero.

The Swarm is unrecognizable, untraceable, and unpredictable—a mob that leaves death in its wake. Public places are no longer safe. Every day is a threat. Though it’s been two years since the last attack, Lia Finch has found clues that the Swarm is ready to claim a new victim. The last victim was Lia’s father, attorney Steven Finch. Devastated and desperate for answers, Lia will do anything to uncover the reasons behind his death and to stop someone else from being struck down. However, the odds are stacked against her: Lia’s PTSD from her father’s attack has left her with a shaky grip on reality, and her debilitating asthma is a time bomb that could kill her at any moment. After a close encounter with the Swarm puts Lia on their radar, she teams up with a teen hacker, a reporter, and a mysterious stranger who knows firsthand how the Swarm works. Together, they work to uncover the master puppeteer behind the group. If Lia and her network don’t stop the person pulling the strings—and fast—Lia will be the next victim. Inspired by the real flash mobs in Chicago, readers ages 13 and up won’t be able to put Every Stolen Breath down. This YA thriller is great for readers who enjoy mystery and suspense.

Book excerpt: A raw and powerful memoir of Jaycee Lee Dugard's own story of being kidnapped as an 11-year-old and held captive for over 18 years On 10 June 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in Tahoe, California. It was the last her family and friends saw of her for over eighteen years. On 26 August 2009, Dugard, her daughters, and Phillip Craig Garrido appeared in the office of her kidnapper's parole officer in California. Their unusual behaviour sparked an investigation that led to the positive identification of Jaycee Lee Dugard, living in a tent behind Garrido's home. During her time in captivity, at the age of fourteen and seventeen, she gave birth to two daughters, both fathered by Garrido. Dugard's memoir is written by the 30-year-old herself and covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, utterly honest and unflinching narrative, Jaycee opens up about what she experienced, including how she feels now, a year after being found. Garrido and his wife Nancy have since pleaded guilty to their crimes.

Surviving personal tragedies, unimaginable losses, and political sabotage, Elizabeth clawed her way to the top, becoming the first woman to lead the Romanov Empire—but also the one who laid the groundwork for its eventual destruction. Don’t miss this scandalous series about the tenacious women who rose up to rule in infamy, and, in doing so, changed the fate of Russia forever.

And when it doesn't happen, I become anxious and really frustrated. So I think I need to look for the obvious source of the knot and concentrate on that.' ... 'So you think that the panty theory is all about following my truth?' 'Yes, Victorie, I do.' Andy nodded his head slowly. 'I'm not saying it will be easy, but I think it's necessary for your healing to follow your truth wherever it is taking you.' Victorie Powers seemed like just another suburban Christian housewife, taking care of her husband and girls. But deep inside, she was very troubled and very much in denial about the ugly, dark events from her teenage years. That is until a dispute with a mortgage company over a missing payment resulted in trouble for her family. Only when she learns that her daughters are suffering because they are watching her suffer does she realize it's time to sort through the pain of the past. And so begins a long, often distressing, but ultimately triumphant journey through therapy with Andy, her Christian therapist. Through a divine lesson of untangling panties, as well as therapy sessions with Andy, Victorie's turmoil is relived. Readers will feel her raw emotions, hurting when she hurts and cheering when she finds moments of joy. Jaws will drop at some of the shocking revelations; hearts will ache, and hearts will be healed as Victorie's heart is made whole again through purging the past and learning to love and accept herself in a way never before possible. This is a story from denial to acceptance, from blame to forgiveness, from trauma to triumph. Join Victorie as she learns to follow her truth in The Panty Theory.
