Hunting ​Prince Dracula

Böszörményi Gyula - Leányrablás ​Budapesten
Budapest, ​1896. A város a millenniumi ünnepségek lázában ég. A békebeli Monarchia minden zugából tízezerszám tódulnak az emberek, hogy megcsodálják az ezeréves Magyarország egybehordott kincseit. Köztük van a Marosvásárhelyről érkezett, 16 éves Hangay Emma kisasszony is, akinek a rendezvények második napján nyoma vész. Négy évvel később titokzatos távirat érkezik az azóta is gyászoló, idős édesapa, Hangay Árpád címére: a különös üzenetet Emma, a rég halottnak hitt lány küldte! Az ekkor 17 éves Mili kisasszony, Emma húga azonnal a fővárosba utazik, hogy nővére keresésére induljon. A talpraesett, éles eszű lány nem sejti, hogy midőn felszáll a vonatra, rémálmokhoz hasonló kalandok sora veszi kezdetét, melyek kibogozásában egyetlen támasza a jó hírű, ám igen zord természetű mesterdetektív, Ambrózy Richárd báró lesz. "A szereplők olyan elevenek, szinte lelépnek a lapokról. Elég néhány szó, és megtörténik a csoda: máris a múlt század fordulójának lüktető világvárosában találod magad, különös, borzongató kalandok kellős közepén. Szívből ajánlom egyhangú hétköznapokra és pihentető hétvégékre!" - Katona Ildikó, hivatásos könyvrajongó

Dan Wells - Mr. ​Monster
I ​killed a demon. I don’t know if it was really, technically a demon, but I do know that he was some kind of monster, with fangs and claws and the whole bit, and he killed a lot of people. So I killed him. I think it was the right thing to do. At least the killing stopped. Well, it stopped for a while. In I Am Not a Serial Killer, John Wayne Cleaver saved his town from a murderer even more appalling than the serial killers he obsessively studies. But it turns out even demons have friends, and the disappearance of one has brought another to Clayton County. Soon there are new victims for John to work on at the mortuary and a new mystery to solve. But John has tasted death, and the dark nature he used as a weapon---the terrifying persona he calls “Mr. Monster”---might now be using him. No one in Clayton is safe unless John can vanquish two nightmarish adversaries: the unknown demon he must hunt and the inner demon he can never escape. In this sequel to his brilliant debut, Dan Wells ups the ante with a thriller that is just as gripping and even more intense. He apologizes in advance for the nightmares.

Böszörményi Gyula - A ​Rudnay-gyilkosságok
1900 ​ősze. Budapest székesfőváros a perzsa sah látogatására készül. A titokzatos keleti uralkodó teljes udvarházával egyetemben járja be Európát, mindenhol rendkívüli érdeklődést, sőt rajongást váltva ki. Rudnay Béla rendőrfőkapitányt azonban egészen más nyomasztja: számos olyan gyilkossági ügy aktája hever az asztalán, amit a legkiválóbb detektívjei sem voltak képesek felderíteni. Vajon a ferencvárosi szatócs miért ölte meg a Bécsből öngyilkossági szándékkal Budapestre érkező festőt – a frissen alkalmazott cselédlány miért mérgezte meg úrnője édesanyját, akit addig sohasem látott – a hamburgi kémiatanár miért utazott Triesztbe, hogy ott a vonaton lelőjön egy általa sohasem látott, tízéves kisfiút? A minden lében kanál Hangay Mili kisasszony és az ő morc bárója nyomozásba kezd, nem tudván, hogy életük máris veszélyben forog. A _Leányrablás Budapesten_ című, nagy sikerű regény folytatásában a szerző tíz valóban megtörtént, a korabeli sajtó által dokumentált esetre igyekszik fényt deríteni, miközben e szép, izgalmas, békebeli korban valóban élt személyek és valós helyszínek sorát szerepelteti. A nyomozás csak most veszi igazán kezdetét! "Ez tényleg remek könyv, igazi minőségi szórakoztatás. Érdekes, izgalmas, hangulatos, olvasmányos. Remélem, lesz még sok része." - meseanyu az előző részről, moly.hu

Sara Shepard - Flawless
Spencer ​stole her sister's boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is making her sick. And their most horrible secret yet is so scandalous that the truth would ruin them forever. And why shouldn't I tell?

Trust me, I've got enough dirt to bury them alive.

Dan Wells - I ​Am Not a Serial Killer
John ​Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. Obsessed with serial killers, he never wants to be one. Yet terrible impulses constantly tempt him. Having grown up helping his mom at the family mortuary, dead bodies are no big deal to John. He likes them, actually. They don’t ask for the empathy he’s unable to offer. Perhaps that’s what gives him the clarity to recognize that something is frighteningly different about the freshest body on the slab. For the first time, John must confront a danger outside his own mind, a threat he cannot control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Read ​by Jim Dale Running time: 11 hrs., 48 mins. 10 CDs. For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts." Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

Holly Black - The ​Cruel Prince
_Of ​course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever._ _And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe._ Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

Dan Wells - I ​Don't Want to Kill You
Dan ​Wells introduced us to John Wayne Cleaver in the chilling novels I Am Not a Serial Killer and Mr. Monster. In I Don't Want to Kill You, Cleaver faces his toughest challenge yet. John Wayne Cleaver has called a demon---literally called it on the phone---and challenged it to a fight. He’s faced two monsters already, barely escaping with his life, and now he’s done running; he’s taking the fight to them. As he wades through the town’s darkest secrets, searching for any sign of who the demon might be, one thing becomes all too clear: in a game of cat and mouse with a supernatural killer, you are always the mouse. In I Am Not a Serial Killer we watched a budding sociopath break every rule he had to save his town from evil. In Mr. Monster we held our breath as he fought madly with himself, struggling to stay in control. Now John Wayne Cleaver has mastered his twisted talents and embraced his role as a killer of killers. I Don't Want to Kill You brings his story to a thundering climax of suspicion, mayhem, and death. It’s time to punish the guilty. And in a town full of secrets, everyone is guilty of something.

Böszörményi Gyula - Nász ​és téboly
1894 ​kora tavaszán a fiatal Ambrózy Richárd báró elveszítette bal karját, és vele lelkének azon részét is, mely gyöngéd érzelmekre tette képessé. Ama borzalmas éjszaka hét esztendővel később még mindig sötét árnyat vet az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia legismertebb magánzó detektívjének életére, és ha ez még nem volna elég, a múlt kísértetei ismét felbukkannak. 1901-ben Ambrózy báró nősülni készül, ám az oltárhoz vezető utat hátborzongató gyilkosságok sora szegélyezi. Vajon képes lesz-e Mili kisasszony, a detektív hű társa és tanítványa egyszerre megküzdeni a régmúlt és a jelen szörnyetegeivel? Nem kétséges, hogy igen, hisz rafinériája és makacssága végtelen – ám az már közel sem tudható ily biztosan, hogy közben ő maga mit veszít el. A békebeli bűn- és szívügyek végső titkai, melyek a _Leányrablás Budapesten, A Rudnay-gyilkosságok_ és az _Ármány és kézfogó_ című regényekben nem fedték fel magukat, a sorozat eme záró kötetében végre kilépnek a fényre.

Gail Carriger - Blameless ​- Szégyentelen
A ​szezon botránya – Lady Maccon elhagyta a férjét, és visszaköltözött rémes családjához! Viktória királynő elbocsátja Alexiát az árnyékkormányból, és az egyetlen személy, aki bármiféle magyarázattal szolgálhatna – Lord Akeldama – váratlanul elhagyja a várost. Mindennek tetejébe Alexiára gyilkos gépkaticák támadnak, jelezve (ahogy azt csak a katicák képesek), hogy immár London minden vámpírja igencsak érdekelt Lady Maccon meglehetősen alapos halálában. Mindeközben Lord Maccon szeszben pácolja magát, Lyall professzor pedig kétségbeesetten igyekszik összefogni a Woolsey-falkát. Alexia végül elmenekül Angliából, és meg sem áll Itáliáig, hogy megkeresse a titokzatos templomosokat. Csak ők tudnak eleget a természeten túliakról ahhoz, hogy feltárják előtte növekvő mértékben terhes állapotának titkait. Csakhogy ők még a vámpíroknál is rosszabbak lehetnek – és pestót hordanak maguknál. Szédítően szellemes történet! "Carriger briliánsan nyit a viktoriánus románc, a kicsavart társadalmi komédia és az alternatív történelem keverékével..." _PUBLISHERS WEEKLY - KIEMELT ÉRTÉKELÉS_

Chris Carter - The ​Death Sculptor
_Good ​job you didn't turn on the lights..._ A student nurse has the shock of her life when she discovers her patient, prosecutor Derek Nicholson, brutally murdered in his bed. The act seems senseless - Nicholson was terminally ill with only weeks to live.

For Hunter, there is no doubt that the killer is trying to communicate with the police, but the method is unlike anything he's ever seen before. And what could the hidden message be? Just as Hunter and his partner Garcia reckon they've found a lead, a new body is found - and a new calling card. But with no apparent link between the first and second victims, all the progress they've made so far goes out of the window. Pushed into an uncomfortable alliance with the confident Alice Beaumont, Hunter must race to put together the pieces of the investigation... before the Death Sculptor puts the final touches to his masterpiece.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them.

Jennifer L. Armentrout - Obsidian
Starting ​over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, outhouses, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring. Until I spotted my hot neighbor with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. And then he opened his mouth. Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens. The hot alien living next door marked me. You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and the mark he left on me has me lit up like Las Vegas strip to the bad guys. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. If I don't kill him first, that is. And then things got really bad…
