Katie Lowe

This page-turning, harrowing debut is the story of a girl trying to fit in, whose obsessive new friends and desperation to belong leads her to places she’d never imagined...dark, dangerous, and possibly even violent. “The Furies is a haunting tale of angry, young women, the fates they hold and furies they possess. Katie Lowe steers her juggernaut through twists of madness, revenge and murder to a finish that resonates deeply. It still hasn’t left me.” —Peter Filardi, screenwriter of The Craft “Murder and witchcraft mix with a heady cocktail of drugs, booze, and revenge in this elegant, pitch-perfect coming-of-age story.” —Kirkus ~~~ In 1998, a sixteen-year-old girl is found dead. She’s posed on a swing on her boarding school’s property, dressed all in white, with no known cause of death. Whispers and rumors swirl, with no answers. But there are a few who know what happened; there is one girl who will never forget. One year earlier: a new student, Violet, steps on the campus of Elm Hollow Academy, an all-girl’s boarding school on the outskirts of a sleepy coastal town. This is her fresh start, her chance to begin again in the wake of tragedy, leave her demons behind. Bright but a little strange, uncertain and desperate to fit in, she soon finds herself invited to an advanced study group, led by her alluring and mysterious art teacher, Annabel. There, with three other girls—Alex, Grace, and Robin—the five of them delve into the school’s long-buried grim history: of Greek and Celtic legends; of the school founder’s “academic” interest in the occult; of gruesome 17th century witch trials. Annabel does her best to convince the girls that her classes aren’t related to ancient rites and rituals, and that they are just history and mythology. But the more she tries to warn the girls off the topic, the more they are drawn to it, and the possibility that they can harness magic for themselves. Violet quickly finds herself wrapped up in this heady new world of lawless power—except she is needled by the disappearance of a former member of the group, one with whom Violet shares an uncanny resemblance. As her friends’ actions take a turn for the darker and spiral out of control, she begins to wonder who she can trust, all the while becoming more deeply entangled. How far will these young girls go to protect one another...or to destroy one another?

My Husband's Murder

Een meisje raakt op school verstrikt in een vriendinnenclub met een fascinatie voor hekserij.

Possession is a chilling psychological thriller written with Katie Lowe’s signature “subtle, persistent, and unmistakable creepiness” (Kirkus, on The Furies). The past haunts her. The present hunts her. Conviction @ConvictionPod · 1m The investigating officer: “I’ve seen a lot of homicides in the years since, but...that’s the one that keeps me up at night.” The husband’s best man: “They had everybody fooled. Or at least, she did. But I always knew something was off.” Hannah, the wife: “I told you. I don’t remember anything. I don’t know.” That’s all to come, this season, on Conviction. Get ready for our most twisted season yet. ~~~ Ten years ago, Hannah’s husband was brutally murdered in their home, and she (conveniently) doesn’t remember a thing about that night. But the police charged someone else—a stranger—and put him away for life. And Hannah packed up her six-year-old daughter and left London behind. But now her hard-won countryside peace is threatened. Conviction, a viral true crime podcast known for getting cases reopened and old verdicts overturned, has turned its attention to Hannah’s husband’s murder for its new season. They say police framed the man who was found guilty, and that Hannah has more suspicious secrets than just her memory loss: a history of volatility; citations at the clinic where she worked as a psychiatrist; dependencies on alcohol and pills; and a familicidal grandmother, locked away in a Gothic insane asylum until her death. As Hannah loses the trust of everyone she loves, the only person she feels she can confide in is a former colleague, Darcy, who’s come back into her life—but who may have motives of her own. But Hannah can’t tell even Darcy her deepest secret: that she’s still tormented by the memory of her husband and the crater he carved through her life.

Förtrollande YA-debut för alla som älskade Den hemliga historien För att glömma en ödesdiger bilolycka börjar Violet på Elm Hollow Academy, ett prestigefullt privatgymnasium för flickor. Skolan ligger i ett område med otäcka historiska kopplingar till 1700-talets häxprocesser. Violet blir snart den fjärde medlemmen i en avancerad studiecirkel ledd av den karismatiske konstläraren Annabel. Även om Annabel påstår att hennes lektioner inte har något med gamla riter och ritualer att göra varnar hon eleverna för ämnet, och talar om det som mer än bara mytologi. Och Violet och hennes vänner börjar tro att de själva besitter magiska krafter. Men när en av gruppens tidigare medlemmar - som har en kuslig likhet med Violet - hittas död på campus efter att ha varit spårlöst försvunnen sedan nio månader tillbaka, börjar Violet undra om hon kan lita på sina vänner, sina lärare eller ens på sig själv.

MATARÍAS POR SER UNA DE ELLAS En 1998, una chica de dieciséis años ;vestida de blanco y meciéndose en un columpio; aparece muerta en el elitista colegio femenino Elm Hollow, emplazado en una pequeña localidad costera con un tenebroso pasado vinculado a los procesos por brujería del siglo XVII. Un año antes, tras la muerte de su padre y su hermana en un trágico accidente, Violet comienza sus estudios en la prestigiosa institución, donde enseguida se siente fascinada por tres de sus compañeras y por su carismática y misteriosa profesora de arte, quien la invita a formar parte de un selecto y secreto grupo de clases sobre mitología. Muy pronto, la figura de las furias, divinidades romanas de la venganza, empieza a ejercer tal magnetismo sobre las adolescentes que estas se ven arrastradas sin control hacia su lado más oscuro. ¿Hasta dónde llegarán para protegerse mutuamente... o para destruirse? Con su impecable dosificación del suspense, el estremecedor debut de Katie Lowe desarrolla una adictiva historia en la que la novela de iniciación y sus ritos de paso conjugan con el mejor thriller. «Asesinatos, pasión y brujería. Una lectura inquietante y llena de intriga». Irish Sunday Mirror «Inquietante y adictiva: una novela brillante sobre el poder y la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres que no puede llegar en mejor momento. La prosa es escalofriantemente oscura y Violet es la clase de protagonista a la que estarías dispuesto a seguir a cualquier parte». The Times
