Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch

"THEY THINK THEY KILLED A GIRL. THEY ONLY MADE A MONSTER. Annie Lane was murdered, but that won’t slow her down. The mountain her body was dumped on is legendary for raising the dead—so after waking up in the same frigid water that hides her corpse, Annie surges into her backwoods hometown hell-bent on revenge. The problem is, Annie can’t remember who killed her … and the list of people who might have wanted to isn’t exactly short. There’s her toxic mom, who spends her rare sober moments ripping Annie a new one. There’s her boss at the diner, who’s always been a little too friendly. And there’s her cheating ex and his creepy bandmates, who are just shit-brained enough to think they could get away with it. All she has to go on are tequila-fogged memories and a bloodstained leather jacket, but Annie won’t stop until she gets what she came for. SOMEONE KNOWS THE TRUTH. SOMEONE IS TO BLAME. SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO ANNIE LANE. Furious, fast-paced, and darkly funny, Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch is at once a propulsive mystery and an exhilarating love letter to anyone who’s ever been told to be a good girl—or else. “A wholly original exploration of what it means to be a modern female, with a depth of rage that echoes into the afterlife.”—MINDY McGINNIS, Edgar Award–winning author of The Female of the Species"

The Ones Who Come Back Hungry

"“JoJo,” she whispers. “Can I … have some?” I can’t think. Words don’t apply. The wind moans at the door. Her blackening lips tremble. “Please?” Her grip tightens. “Just a little bit. I promise.” After the sudden death of her perfect, popular older sister, Jo and her family feel empty. But days after crying at Audrey’s graveside, Jo stumbles on the impossible: Audrey, standing barefoot in the snowy backyard. But Audrey isn’t breathing. She’s decaying. And worst of all, she’s hungry, and only human blood can curb her relentless appetite. Jo knows she can put her family back together; she just has to figure out how to fix Audrey. She hides her sister and sustains her with her own blood. When her search takes her to her sister’s grieving inner circle of friends, Jo finds herself drawn into their fold—and to Audrey’s boyfriend, Sam. As Jo slips further into her sister’s old life, Audrey’s hunger and jealousy grow more insatiable. She’s not going to sit back and let Jo replace her or, worse, discover the secrets hidden beneath her golden girl facade. As Jo struggles to juggle everything, she will be forced to decide which of her loved ones needs her the most—and who she’s willing to sacrifice to save them."

It looks like paradise . . . only it's not. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Thailand. One last wish for my dying mama. Instead, we're stranded on a lush, stunning island with ten strangers—held captive as Thai mythology unfolds around us . . . and within us. Now we're being tested.

One by one, we're transforming, echoing the strange and sometimes wondrous abilities found in Thai folktales. But my mama has only days to live, my papa is missing, and I'm forced to trust a group of strangers . . . including our evasive, dark-eyed tour guide, who resembles a minor god. Toss me in the ocean and feed me to the naga. Only I'm no hero. My days are managed by numbers and the compulsions that used to keep me safe. I have to prove how far I can go. To survive. To protect my family. And to find a way off this perilous island where everything is a lie . . . including reality."

'Wen-yi Lee has crafted a dark and compelling supernatural mystery buoyed by earnestly written, queer-centric characters. I am enthralled!' -Gillian Flynn Growing up in Slater, Isadora Chang never felt at ease in the repressive small town, even before she realized she was bisexual-but after the deaths of two childhood friends, Slater went from feeling claustrophobic to suffocating. So, Isa took off before the town could swallow her, too. Even though it meant leaving everything she knew behind, including her last surviving friend, Mason. When Isa's abusive father dies, however, she agrees to come back from art school just long enough to collect the inheritance. But then Mason turns up at the cemetery with a revelation and a plea: their friends were murdered by an evil that haunts the town, and he needs Isa to help stop it-before it takes anyone else. When Isa begins to hear strange songs on the wind, and eerie artwork fills her sketchbook that she can't recall drawing, she's forced to stop running and confront her past. Because something is waiting in the shadows of Slater's valleys, something that feeds on the pain and heartbreak of its children. Whatever it is, it knows Isa's back . . . and it won't let her escape again. Wen-yi Lee's young adult debut is an intimate and gripping exploration of trauma, healing, and the lasting power of friendship, as a runaway teen must finally face the sinister forces that defined her childhood, and in doing so, demand her right to survive."
