Oi, Ooooi gente!
Sinopse ~ Meu nome é Cassidy Porter ...
Meu pai, Paul Isaac Porter, foi condenado há vinte anos pelo assassinato brutal de doze meninas inocentes.
Embora eu tivesse apenas oito anos de idade naquela época, estou ciente, todos os dias da minha vida, que sou seu filho, seu único filho.
Para proteger o mundo do veneno em minhas veias, eu vivo uma vida tranquila, fora da cidade, longe da humanidade.
Eu prometi a mim mesmo, e minha mãe, não infectar vidas inocentes com a escuridão que ronda dentro de mim, esperando para tornar-se conhecida.
É uma promessa que eu teria mantido ... Se Brynn Cadogan não tivesse tropeçado em minha vida.
Agora eu existo entre o céu e o inferno: apaixonado por uma mulher que quer me amar, enquanto o tempo todo me lembro que devo permanecer ... Sem Amor

Anthony Peardew is the keeper of lost things. Forty years ago, he carelessly lost a keepsake from his beloved fiancée, Therese. That very same day, she died unexpectedly. Brokenhearted, Anthony sought consolation in rescuing lost objects—the things others have dropped, misplaced, or accidently left behind—and writing stories about them. Now, in the twilight of his life, Anthony worries that he has not fully discharged his duty to reconcile all the lost things with their owners. As the end nears, he bequeaths his secret life's mission to his unsuspecting assistant, Laura, leaving her his house and and all its lost treasures, including an irritable ghost.
Recovering from a bad divorce, Laura, in some ways, is one of Anthony's lost things. But when the lonely woman moves into his mansion, her life begins to change. She finds a new friend in the neighbor's quirky daughter, Sunshine, and a welcome distraction in Freddy, the rugged gardener. As the dark cloud engulfing her lifts, Laura, accompanied by her new companions, sets out to realize Anthony's last wish: reuniting his cherished lost objects with their owners.
Sinopse ~ From beloved author Alice Hoffman comes the spellbinding prequel to her bestseller, Practical Magic.
Find your magic.
For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man.
Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk.
From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Back in New York City each begins a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse.
The Owens children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be the revered, and sometimes feared, aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy. Thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastical, The Rules of Magic is a story about the power of love reminding us that the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself.
Sinopse ~ Após praticamente derrotar um elfo diabólico, Keelie Heartwood se junta com relutância a seu pai na Floresta do Pânico.

Sinopse ~ A brilliant and immersive, all-consuming read about one fourteen-year-old girl's heart-stopping fight for her own soul.
Turtle Alveston is a survivor. At fourteen, she roams the woods along the northern California coast. The creeks, tide pools, and rocky islands are her haunts and her hiding grounds, and she is known to wander for miles. But while her physical world is expansive, her personal one is small and treacherous: Turtle has grown up isolated since the death of her mother, in the thrall of her tortured and charismatic father, Martin. Her social existence is confined to the middle school (where she fends off the interest of anyone, student or teacher, who might penetrate her shell) and to her life with her father.
Then Turtle meets Jacob, a high-school boy who tells jokes, lives in a big clean house, and looks at Turtle as if she is the sunrise. And for the first time, the larger world begins to come into focus: her life with Martin is neither safe nor sustainable. Motivated by her first experience with real friendship and a teenage crush, Turtle starts to imagine escape, using the very survival skills her father devoted himself to teaching her. The reader tracks Turtle's escalating acts of physical and emotional courage, and watches, heart in throat, as she struggles to become her own hero--and in the process, becomes ours as well.
Sinopse ~ Twenty-four-year-old truck stop waitress and single mother Catherine Wright has simple goals: to give her five-year-old daughter a happy life and to never again be the talk of the town in Balsam, Pennsylvania: population two thousand outside of tourist season. And then one foggy night, on a lonely road back from another failed attempt at a relationship, Catherine saves a man’s life. It isn’t until after the police have arrived that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has saved: Brett Madden, hockey icon and media darling.
Catherine has already had her fifteen minutes of fame and the last thing she wants is to have her past dragged back into the spotlight, only this time on a national stage. So she hides her identity. It works.
For a time.
But when she finds the man she saved standing on her doorstep, desperate to thank her, all that changes. What begins as an immediate friendship quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Something that Catherine isn’t sure she can handle; something that Catherine is afraid to trust.
Because how long can an extraordinary man like Brett be interested in an ordinary woman like Catherine…before the spark fades?
Sinopse ~ Grace wants out. Out of her house, where her stepfather wields fear like a weapon and her mother makes her scrub imaginary dirt off the floors. Out of her California town, too small to contain her big city dreams. Out of her life, and into the role of Parisian artist, New York director—anything but scared and alone.
Enter Gavin: charming, talented, adored. Controlling. Dangerous. When Grace and Gavin fall in love, Grace is sure it's too good to be true. She has no idea their relationship will become a prison she's unable to escape.
Deeply affecting and unflinchingly honest, this is a story about spiraling into darkness—and emerging into the light again.
Sinopse ~ Antes do asteroide, eles eram definidos por rótulos: o atleta, a excluída, o vagabundo, a perfeitinha. Mas então tudo mudou. Agora eles têm dois meses para encontrar um significado. Dois meses para realmente viver.
Dizem que o colégio é a melhor época da vida. Peter, a estrela do time de basquete, está preocupado que essa afirmação possa ser verdadeira. Enquanto isso, Eliza não vê a hora de escapar de Seattle, e da reputação que a persegue; e a perfeita — ao menos no papel — Anita se pergunta se a admissão em uma das melhores universidades do país vale realmente o preço de abandonar seus sonhos. Andy, por sua vez, não entende todo o rebuliço em relação à faculdade e carreira — o futuro pode esperar.
Será? Porque parece que o futuro está prestes a se chocar com a Terra, vindo do espaço, com o potencial de acabar com a vida no planeta. Enquanto esses quatro estudantes do último ano aguardam — assim como o restante do mundo — para saber quais serão os estragos do asteroide, devem abandonar todos os pensamentos sobre o futuro e decidir como passar o que resta do presente.
Neste livro esperto e envolvente, quatro adolescentes arriscam seus sonhos, seu coração e sua humanidade para ir em busca daquilo que realmente vale a pena.
