Book Description
From Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller Shelter in Place (June 2018)—a powerful tale of heart, heroism...and propulsive suspense. It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, helplessly clutching her cell phone--until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art. But one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait--and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide.

We Need to Talk About Kevin

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
The inspiration for the film starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, this resonant story of a mother’s unsettling quest to understand her teenage son’s deadly violence, her own ambivalence toward motherhood, and the explosive link between them remains terrifyingly prescient. Eva never really wanted to be a mother. And certainly not the mother of a boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much–adored teacher in a school shooting two days before his sixteenth birthday. Neither nature nor nurture exclusively shapes a child's character. But Eva was always uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood. Did her internalized dislike for her own son shape him into the killer he’s become? How much is her fault? Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with Kevin’s horrific rampage, all in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. A piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence and responsibility, a book that the Boston Globe describes as “impossible to put down,” is a stunning examination of how tragedy affects a town, a marriage, and a family.

O mais novo romance de Audrey Carlan, autora bestseller nº 1 do The New York Times, pela série Garota do Calendário. Quando nasci, fui amada pelos meus pais. Sentia o amor deles desde a ponta dos dedos dos pés até os cachos indomáveis do meu cabelo... até que uma tragédia aconteceu e perdi os dois. Sem ter uma família grande, acabei na Kerrighan House, um lar para garotas como eu: meninas que perderam tudo. Mama Kerri me acolheu e me tratou com amor, assim como o resto das minhas irmãs de alma. Naquela casa, formamos um vínculo que nunca poderia ser rompido. Agora, o perigo parece perseguir a todas nós. Mas que perigo eu, uma professora de espanhol do ensino médio que jamais faria mal a uma mosca, poderia correr? A única pessoa que está atrás de mim é Omar Alvarado, o guarda-costas contratado para me proteger do perigo que ronda minhas irmãs. Porém, quanto mais evito seus avanços, mais ele tenta me conquistar. Omar parece gostar do meu atrevimento e não esconde o fato de que me quer. Estou determinada a não me deixar levar por seu lindo sorriso, pelas sugestões sensuais que ele sussurra em meu ouvido ou por aquele corpo incrível que faria qualquer mulher desmaiar de desejo. Mesmo com a tensão crescendo entre nós, tudo parecia estar sob controle, até que me vi no meio de um assalto a banco. E o único que poderia me salvar, era o homem que tentei afastar.
