Written by celebrated author M. M. Kaye, Death in Zanzibar is a wonderfully evocative mystery ... Dany Ashton is invited to vacation at her stepfather's house in Zanzibar, but even before her airplane takes off there is a stolen passport, a midnight intruder--and murder. In Zanzibar, the family house is Kivulimi, the mysterious "House of Shade," where Dany and the rest of the guests learn that one of them is a desperate killer. The air of freedom and nonchalance that opened the house party fades into growing terror, as the threat of further violence flowers in the scented air of Zanzibar. Richly evocative, Death in Zanzibar will charm long-time fans and introduce new ones to this celebrated writer.

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NEED AND CAPTIVATE People keep changing who they are & defining themselves by their own choices, and that's cool most of the time, but not all the time. No, it's not cool all the time at all. Belle is closing in on her last few months of high school and things are much better than they were before. Well, almost. Belle's not too sure about all the sureness that other people seem to have about things like labels (popular, slut, jock), change (college, real adulthood, new friends, lost friends), and love (oh yeah, that). Not to mention, there's THE BIG PROBLEM with Tom and other-well, unexpected-surprises. If you want to read more about Belle, check out Tips on Having a Gay (ex) Boyfriend from Flux.

Her father led her to glittering success - but no-one taught her how to love. In A Prologue To Love, Taylor Caldwell has written the profoundly moving novel of Caroline Ames, a woman rich beyond imagining, whose inability to give or accept love, fear of poverty, and hostility brings in their wake tragedy and unhappiness for almost all the lives she touches. Caldwell writes of three generations of the Ames family in and around Boston during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with great insight and compassion. Perhaps Miss Caldwell's most impressive achievement is her ability to evoke the reader's sympathy and understanding for Caroline Ames. It is an inspiring story of the power of love and faith in overcoming evil.
