ONCE AND FOR
ALL
As bubbly as champagne and delectable as wedding
cake, Once and for All, Sarah Dessen’s thirteenth novel, is set in
the world of wedding planning, where crises are routine.
Louna, daughter
of famed wedding planner Natalie Barrett, has seen every sort of wedding: on
the beach, at historic mansions, in fancy hotels and clubs. Perhaps that’s why
she’s cynical about happily-ever-after endings, especially since her own first
love ended tragically.
When Louna meets charming, happy-go-lucky serial dater
Ambrose, she holds him at arm’s length. But Ambrose isn’t about to be
discouraged, now that he’s met the one girl he really wants.
Sarah
Dessen’s many, many fans will adore her latest, a richly satisfying, enormously
entertaining story that has everything—humor, romance, and an ending both happy
and imperfect, just like life itself.
DIVIDING EDEN
From the author of the New York Times bestselling

to rule Eden. With their older brother next in line to inherit the throne, the
future of the kingdom was secure.
But appearances—and rivals—can be deceiving.

needs a monarch, but the line of succession is no longer clear. With a ruling
council scheming to gain power, Carys and Andreus are faced with only one
option—to take part in a Trial of Succession that will determine which one of
them is worthy of ruling the kingdom.

have always kept each other safe—from their secrets, from the court, and from
the monsters lurking in the mountains beyond the kingdom’s wall. But the Trial
of Succession will test the bonds of trust and family.
With their country
and their hearts divided, Carys and Andreus will discover exactly what each
will do to win the crown. How long before suspicion takes hold and the thirst
for power leads to the ultimate betrayal?

herself. After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish
anyone who dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot rage,
she storms the countryside with her men, accompanied by her childhood friend
Bogdan, terrorizing the land. But brute force isn’t getting Lada what she
wants. And thinking of Mehmed brings little comfort to her thorny heart.
There’s no time to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her.
She left him before he could leave her.
What Lada needs is her younger brother Radu’s subtlety and skill. But
Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople—and it’s no diplomatic mission. Mehmed
wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a
double-crossing spy behind enemy lines Radu longs for his sister’s fierce
confidence—but for the first time in his life, he rejects her unexpected plea
for help. Torn between loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows
he owes Lada nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself—but if he
fails in Constantinople, will Mehmed ever forgive him?
As nations fall around them, the Dracul siblings must decide: what will
they sacrifice to fulfill their destinies? Empires will topple, thrones will be
won . . . and souls will be lost.
WHAT
TO SAY NEXT
From the New York Times bestselling author
of Tell Me Three Things comes a charming and poignant story about
two struggling teenagers who find an unexpected connection just when they need
it most. For fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Niven, and Rainbow Rowell.
KIT: I don’t know why I decide not to sit
with Annie and Violet at lunch. It feels like no one here gets what I’m going
through. How could they? I don’t even understand.
DAVID: In the 622 days I’ve
attended Mapleview High, Kit Lowell is the first person to sit at my lunch
table. I mean, I’ve never once sat with someone until now. “So your dad is dead,”
I say to Kit, because this is a fact I’ve recently learned about her.
When an unlikely friendship is sparked between relatively popular Kit
Lowell and socially isolated David Drucker, everyone is surprised, most of all
Kit and David. Kit appreciates David’s blunt honesty—in fact, she finds
it bizarrely refreshing. David welcomes Kit’s attention and her inquisitive
nature. When she asks for his help figuring out the how and why of her dad’s
tragic car accident, David is all in. But neither of them can predict what
they’ll find. Can their friendship survive the truth?
WICKED LIKE WILDFIRE
All the women in Iris and Malina's family are born with a gleam—a unique
way of manipulating beauty through magic. Seventeen-year-old Iris sees flowers
as fractals and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, her twin sister
Malina interprets moods as music, and their cold, distant mother Jasmina bakes
scenery into decadent treats at her confectionery in Old Town Cattaro,
Montenegro.
Jasmina forbids Iris and Malina to share their gleams with anyone, and
above all, she forbids them to fall in love—being discovered could shatter the
quiet lives they’ve built in their tucked-away, seaside town. But Iris and
Malina are tired of abiding by their mother’s rules and rebel in secret whenever
they can.
Yet when a mysterious, white-haired woman attacks their mother and leaves
her hovering between life and death, the sisters unearth an ancient curse that
haunts their line—a wicked bargain that masquerades as a blessing, and binds
the twins’ fates—and hearts—to a force larger than life. To save each other,
they must untangle a thousand years of lies and reveal their own hurtful
secrets. But even the deepest sacrifice might not be enough.
Wicked Like a Wildfire is the first book in a sumptuous, bewitching duology
about the power of love, death, magic, and the many faces of beauty.
