J. L. Armentrout - Obszidián
Az ​újrakezdés szívás. Amikor Nyugat-Virginiába költöztünk - éppen az utolsó gimis évem előtt -, nagyjából beletörődtem a rémes tájszólásba, a szakadozó internetbe és a várható tömény unalomba. Egészen addig, amíg észre nem vettem magas, szexi, különös zöld szemű szomszédomat. Az ég kiderült. Aztán a srác megszólalt. Daemon dühítő. Beképzelt. Tenyérbe mászó. Nem bírjuk egymást. Egyáltalán. De akkor, amikor egy idegen rám támadt, és Daemon a keze egyetlen intésével szó szerint megfagyasztotta az időt... akkor valami történt. Valami váratlan. A szédítő idegen a szomszédból megjelölt engem. Jól hallottad. Idegen. Mint kiderült, Daemon és a húga egy egész galaxisra való ellenféllel néznek szembe, akik mind az ő képességeikre pályáznak, a nyom pedig, amit Daemon rajtam hagyott, olyan fényesen jelzi számukra az utat, mint a vegasi leszállópálya. Csak úgy úszhatom meg élve, ha Daemon közelében maradok, amíg elhalványul a nyom rajtam. Mármint, ha nem ölöm meg addig saját kezűleg... "Daemon és Katy robbanókeveréket alkotnak... Az _Obszidián_ pörgős utazásra visz, csak úgy kapkodod majd a levegőt, és könyörögni fogsz a folytatásért." - Jus Accardo, a _Touch_ írója

J. L. Armentrout - Ónix
Daemon ​Blackkel összekapcsolódni szívás... Ráadásul nemrég eltökélte, hogy bebizonyítja: amit irántam érez, az nem csupán bizarr kapcsolódásunk mellékhatása, hanem valódi érzelem. Nem tudom, mit gondoljak efelől, de tény, hogy mostanában már korántsem olyan bunkó velem, mint korábban. De nem ez a legnagyobb problémánk. A Védelmi Minisztérium emberei körülöttünk szaglásznak. Ha rájönnek, mire képes Daemon, és főleg, hogy mi ketten összekapcsolódtunk, akkor nekünk annyi. Az iskolában felbukkanó új srác sem hiányzott. Ő is tele van titkokkal. Tudja, mi okozza a körülöttem zajló sok furcsaságot, és segítene is rajtam... de ennek súlyos ára van. És aztán az események még vadabb fordulatot vesznek. Láttam valakit, akit halottnak hittem. Szóljak vagy hallgassak? Mi történt Dawsonnal? Ki árulta el? És mit akarnak Daemonéktól - na meg tőlem - a védelmiek? Az már biztos: Daemon Blackkel összekapcsolódni nem egy életbiztosítás. Senki nem az, akinek látszik. És nem mindenki éli túl a hazugságokat...

Jennifer L. Armentrout - White ​Hot Kiss
One ​kiss could be the last. Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.

Gini Koch - Alien ​in the House
Jeff ​and Kitty Katt-Martini have learned the ins and outs of Washington politics, not to mention how to prevail in intergalactic war and foil dangerous plots. But, in the aftermath of Operation Destruction, the Gower girls’ powers are burned out, the entire A-C population has been “outed” as the aliens living on Earth that they are, and, worst of all, ACE is nowhere to be found. Then murder and mayhem are served up at an important dinner party at the American Centaurion Embassy, and when the dust settles Alpha Team and the Diplomatic Corps have more problems than just a dead Congressman. Is there a single criminal mastermind—or multiple enemies—behind all the conspiracies that want Kitty dead and the A-Cs gone or co-opted to become the War Division? The return of the best assassins in the business, the reappearance of two individuals long-presumed dead, Agent Malcolm Buchanan felled by something no one can identify or cure, and new technology that can block even the most powerful empath on Earth … all of this means the game’s officially afoot. Then Vance Beaumont comes to Kitty with a wild theory that someone is systematically killing off the House of Representatives… It’s up to Kitty and the rest of the gang to find out what’s really going on and why. But will they be able to stop the killer or killers before the rest of the U.S. House of Representatives become casualties? And will the replacement Representative for New Mexico’s 2nd District, who happens to be Jeff Martini, be the next to die?

Evil androids running amok, birds of all kinds and from all places creating havoc, a Senator trapped in an ever-tightening web of intrigue, and escalating international tensions all seem tough but manageable. But the disappearance of Jeff Martini and Charles Reynolds during the International One World Festival signals more than the usual nastiness — and it looks like even ACE can’t help them. Then new trouble arrives in old packages and even with the best hackers in the world, beings from near and far, the full might of Earth’s military, and the Wonder Twins on their side, Centaurion Division’s outmanned and outgunned. Now Kitty’s racing against the clock to find not only Jeff and Chuckie, but to keep the peace between Middle Eastern countries, all while searching for the bases of super-soldier operations — to stop them or die trying.

Then Area 51 and the Dulce Science Center go silent while Alpha Team, Airborne, and most of the worldwide A-C Security team are there for training. And if that’s not bad enough, Centaurion Division is hit with more bad, and deadly, news: Chernobog the Ultimate, isn’t a hacker myth, he’s a real person -- and he’s on the bad guys’ side. Now Kitty and company must find the real Dr. Feelgood and stop him or her before the latest version of Surcenthumain hits the streets and more people they love are harmed, or worse. But when the inconceivable happens, Kitty’s focused on two things only: reviving the ACE entity before their enemies realize Earth’s best protection isn’t actually active…and revenge.

Rachel Hartman - Seraphina ​(angol)
Four ​decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd.

As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life. In her exquisitely written fantasy debut, Rachel Hartman creates a rich, complex, and utterly original world.
