From USA Today Bestselling author KM Moronova comes a brand-new compelling and addictive dark romance in her Dark Forces world. Dark. Deadly. Irresistible. Cameron Mortem has a problem―he can't stop killing his partners. Officially labeled clinically insane, he's also one of the most lethal assets in the Dark Forces, a brutal underground military operation built on obedience, survival, and silence. But an experimental drug has fractured his control, making him a liability whenever someone else is on the field. As punishment, he's thrown back into the Under Trials―a merciless boot camp designed to break the weak and sharpen the ruthless. His one directive? Don't kill the new girl. Emery Maves narrowly escapes a death sentence after her own brutal crimes, only to find herself forced into the same violent world. Assigned to Cameron, she's expected to survive the Trials and her partner's unstable nature. But Emery quickly realizes there's more to Cameron than bloodlust and body counts. Beneath the madness lies a terrifying allure―and a strange, dangerous tenderness. As the Trials push them to their limits, Emery must navigate the brutal demands of the Dark Forces while resisting the pull of a man who could just as easily kill her as protect her. And Cameron must fight the one urge he's never been able to overcome. Their bond is intoxicating, chaotic, and born of violence. And if it doesn't destroy them both, it might just save them. Praise for KM Moronova's previous Dark Forces novel, Leave Me Behind: "Brutal, emotional, and unforgettable―KM Moronova pulls no punches.""A dark, aching romance that left me breathless and begging for more.""Every chapter was a punch to the gut―in the best way.""Raw, haunting, and utterly unique. I still can't stop thinking about it.""KM Moronova delivers flawed, vicious characters you can't help but fall for."

Lang voor The Hunger Games en Battle Royale was er al Lord of the Flies. Een groep kinderen moet na een vliegtuigongeluk zien te overleven op een tropisch eiland. Er zijn geen volwassenen om hen te helpen. Blauwe luchten, gele stranden, weinig bedreigingen: het lijkt een idyllische plek. Maar het duurt niet lang voordat hun onbezorgde leven verandert in een nachtmerrie. Wat gebeurt er als kinderen, jong en onschuldig, overgeleverd zijn aan elkaar? Nobelprijswinnaar William Golding toont ons in Lord of the Flies zijn visie op de mens, een visie die na de oorspronkelijke publicatie in 1954 een miljoenenpubliek bereikte, en die nog altijd actueel is. Ter ere van het 70-jarig bestaan verschijnt de klassieker nu voor het eerst als graphic novel, geschreven en getekend door de Nederlandse stripauteur Aimée de Jongh.

Twelve-year-old Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. As a ghost, he observes the devastation that’s been unleashed on his family and community in the wake of what they see as an unjust and brutal killing. Soon Jerome meets another ghost: Emmett Till, a boy from a very different time but similar circumstances. Emmett helps Jerome process what has happened, on a journey towards recognizing how historical racism may have led to the events that ended his life. Jerome also meets Sarah, the daughter of the police officer, who grapples with her father’s actions. Once again Jewell Parker Rhodes deftly weaves historical and socio-political layers into a gripping and poignant story about how children and families face the complexities of today’s world, and how one boy grows to understand American blackness in the aftermath of his own death.
