Lane has always talked to the dark. She just never expected it to talk back. When Delaney 'Lane' Meyers-Petrov is assigned to Godbole University's controversial new-age programme, she must learn to channel her uncanny abilities to cross between worlds. A chronic people-pleaser, she'd be a model student if it weren't for the course's capricious Teaching Assistant, Colton Price, who seems determined to despise her. But Colton has a secret: when he was nine years old he died. Quite impossibly, he woke moments later at the feet of a green-eyed little girl. When she told him to live, he obeyed. Now, twelve years later, that same girl - Lane - has stumbled back into his orbit. But Colton's been ordered to keep far away from the new girl and her ghosts. The day a former Godbole student turns up dead, Lane and Colton form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply-buried university secrets. When something old and nameless takes root in Lane's bones, they're left scrabbling to exorcise the entity before it tears her -and their forbidden partnership - apart. With the body count steadily growing and Lane's soul on the line, they discover the deadly toll of leaving the space between worlds open for too long . . .

Wyatt Westlock has one plan for the farmhouse she's just inherited -- to burn it to the ground. But during her final walkthrough of her childhood home, she makes a shocking discovery in the basement -- Peter, the boy she once considered her best friend, strung up in chains and left for dead.

Unbeknownst to Wyatt, Peter has suffered hundreds of ritualistic deaths on her family's property. Semi-immortal, Peter never remains dead for long, but he can't really live, either. Not while he's bound to the farm, locked in a cycle of grisly deaths and painful rebirths. There's only one way for him to break free. He needs to end the Westlock line.

He needs to kill Wyatt.

With Wyatt's parents gone, the spells protecting the property have begun to unravel, and dark, ancient forces gather in the nearby forest. The only way for Wyatt to repair the wards is to work with Peter -- the one person who knows how to harness her volatile magic. But how can she trust a boy who's sworn an oath to destroy her? When the past turns up to haunt them in the most unexpected way, they are forced to rely on one another to survive, or else tear each other apart.

Your Blood, My Bones

Whispering Dark

From bestselling author Kelly Andrew comes the most electrifying dark romance of the decade...
Following the death of his father, Thomas Walsh had to grow up quickly, taking on odd-jobs to keep food on the table and help pay his gravely ill mother's medical bills. When he's offered a highly paid position as an interpreter for an heiress who exclusively signs, Thomas -- the hearing child of a Deaf adult -- jumps at the opportunity.

But the job is not without its challenges. Thomas is expected to accompany Vivienne wherever she goes, but from the start, she seems determined to shake him. To make matters worse, her parents keep her on an extremely short leash. She is not to go anywhere without express permission. She is not to deviate from her routine.

She is, most importantly, not to be out after dark.

A selective-mute, Vivienne Farrow hasn't said a word in years -- not since going missing in Red Rock Canyon when she was four years old. No one knows quite what happened to her out in the dark. They only know that the sound of her voice is now as deadly as a poison. Anyone who hears her speak suffers a horrible death.

Ever since that fatal family vacation, Vivienne has been desperately searching for a way to regain control of both her voice and her body. Because the face staring out of the mirror isn't hers. It's something with teeth.

Thankfully, Vivienne has a plan. She's finally found someone who claims to be able to perform a surgical exorcism. She just needs to find a way to get rid of Thomas first. But Thomas can't afford to walk away, nor is he willing to abandon the mysterious girl he's quickly falling for, no matter what dark powers threaten to swallow them both whole.

I Am Made of Death

A seductively twisted romance about loyalty, fate, the lengths we go to hide the darkest parts of ourselves . . . and the people who love those parts most of all. Wyatt Westlock has one plan for the farmhouse she's just inherited -- to burn it to the ground. But during her final walkthrough of her childhood home, she makes a shocking discovery in the basement -- Peter, the boy she once considered her best friend, strung up in chains and left for dead.

Delaney "Lane" Meyers-Petrov ha diciotto anni ed è sempre stata tenuta lontana dai pericoli, al sicuro, quasi fosse fatta di vetro. Ma ora ha deciso che è il momento di cambiare. È stanca di starsene in disparte a raccogliere polvere, è stanca di essere considerata e di sentirsi fragile solo perché sorda. Il vetro, dopotutto, si crepa con estrema facilità, è vero, ma può resistere a una pressione immensa. Quindi anche per lei è arrivato il momento di sondare i suoi limiti, non importa se facendolo si procurerà qualche incrinatura. Così, dopo essere stata accettata alla Howe University, nella facoltà di Godbole, prestigiosa ma controversa, perché calamita per i cultori delle discipline occulte, Lane pensa sia finalmente arrivata l'occasione di dimostrare a se stessa e agli altri il suo valore. Di definirsi, per una volta, per le sue capacità e non per la sua sordità o per la paura delle ombre che, fin da bambina, la cercano insistentemente. Il semestre, però, non inizia col piede giusto visto che la prima persona che incontra, Colton Price, è tutto tranne che una persona gentile e ragionevole. Tuttavia, anche se Lane ancora non può saperlo, dietro l'aria strafottente che sfodera ogni volta che la incontra, in realtà il ragazzo è irresistibilmente e visceralmente attratto da lei, sebbene gli sia stato espressamente vietato di frequentare la "ragazza che sente le voci delle ombre". Quando uno studente viene trovato morto, però, Lane e Colton si alleano per scoprire cosa è realmente accaduto. Questo li porterà a scoprire segreti sepolti da anni e ad affrontare un potere antico e senza nome, un nemico che minaccia di distruggere loro e il loro sodalizio proibito.
