The Girl on the Train:Â Â
A debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. Sheâs even started to feel like she knows them. âJess and Jason,â she calls them. Their lifeâas she sees itâis perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. Itâs only a minute until the train moves on, but itâs enough. Now everythingâs changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good? A compulsively readable, emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller that draws comparisons to Gone Girl, The Silent Wife, or Before I Go to Sleep, this is an electrifying debut embraced by readers across markets and categories.

Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, Iâd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, 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 marks me. You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemonâs touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way Iâm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. If I donât kill him first, that is.

Finally, sheâs scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as sheâs always dreamed she would. But the mission doesnât go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics â and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.
Books with Jessica - Dystopian
The first in New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant's breathtaking dystopian, sci-fi saga, Gone is a page-turning thriller that invokes the classic The Lord of the Flies along with the horror of Stephen King. In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. Gone. Except for the young. There are teens, but not one single adult. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talentsâunimaginable, dangerous, deadly powersâthat grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else... Michael Grant's Gone as been praised for its compelling storytelling, multidimensional characters, and multiple points of view.
