Kate Karyus Quinn – författare

The spine-tingling horror of Stephen King meets an eerie mystery worthy of Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars series in Kate Karyus Quinn's haunting debut.

On a cool autumn night, Annaliese Rose Gordon stumbled out of the woods and into a high school party. She was screaming. Drenched in blood. Then she vanished.

A year later, Annaliese is found wandering down a road hundreds of miles away. She doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know how she got there. She only knows one thing: She is not the real Annaliese Rose Gordon.

Now Annaliese is haunted by strange visions and broken memories. Memories of a reckless, desperate wish . . . a bloody razor . . . and the faces of other girls who disappeared. Piece by piece, Annaliese's fractured memories come together to reveal a violent, endless cycle that she will never escape—unless she can unlock the twisted secrets of her past.

Stephen King meets Tuck Everlasting in this eerie, compulsively page-turning tale of a girl haunted by the loss of her sister—and trapped by the mysterious power that fuels her small town.

Gardnerville seems like a paradise. But every four years, a strange madness compels the town''s teenagers to commit terrible crimes. Four years ago, Skylar''s sister, Piper, led her classmates on a midnight death march into a watery grave. Now Piper is gone. And to get her back, Skylar must find a way to end Gardnerville''s murderous cycle.

From Kate Karyus Quinn, author of Another Little Piece, comes a mesmerizing and suspenseful novel that will thrill fans of Maggie Stiefvater''s The Raven Boys and Brenna Yovanoff''s The Replacement.

Think twice before you make a wish in this imaginative, twisted, and witty new novel from the author of Another Little Piece.

When Lennie brings a few jars of her uncles’ moonshine to Michaela Gordon’s house party, she has everyone who drinks it make a wish. It’s tradition. So is the toast her uncles taught her: “May all your wishes come true, or at least just this one.”

The thing is, those words aren’t just a tradition. The next morning, every wish—no matter how crazy—comes true. And most of them turn out bad. But once granted, a wish can’t be unmade . . .

Revenge. That’s why I decided to join the assassination class at Mount Olympus Academy. A monster killed my father and grandmother—and I’m going to make them pay.

But first I have to learn how.

I’m Edie. Once I was just a normal girl with asthma and a bad back. Now, though, I’m at a school taught by Greek gods. My classmates are vampires, witches, and shifters. We’re all training to fight in the war between the gods and monsters.

There’s also … Val. He’s a vampire, but he’s different from the others. Plus, he’s got secrets too.

I get secrets. The wings that sprout from my back were hidden from me my entire life. I also sometimes breathe fire. But no one—including me—can figure out what I fully shift into. Honestly … a part of me doesn’t want to know.

But if I’m going to avenge my family, I need to figure it out before I flunk out.

Fire & Flood is a young adult magic academy fantasy novel with nonstop action. It contains a spunky heroine, one best friend with the gift of sight … to see tomorrow’s lunch menu, a mean-girl vampire roommate with a carnivorous plant, and a meet-cute with her roommate’s hot twin brother that almost kills them both.

Summer school sucks.

It’s summer term at Mount Olympus Academy, and it’s definitely getting hot in here—even for a dragon-shifter like me.

My best friend is being held by the monsters. My crush, Val, just brought his fiancée back to campus with him. And my first mission was a big fat fail.

But there is a silver lining. His name is Nico, a one-eyed werewolf who’s been tortured by the monsters and has a major alpha thing going on.

His mother, though, is a real piece of work. Maddox Tralano wants more killing, more bloodshed, and less monsters in the world. Her searing, charismatic speeches have MOA students ready to follow her into battle.

The drumbeat of war is growing louder, and soon everyone will be forced to fight for their lives. Because when gods and monsters battle it out, there is no middle ground.

I’ve turned traitor and spy. By the end of this, someone big is gonna die.

I hope it’s not me.

My sister, Mavis, is going to be put on trial. Mr. Zee is certain to find her guilty of helping the monsters in their war against the gods. And then he’ll kill her.

I can’t let that happen.

So when I find out about a sword capable of wounding him, I set out to the collect the pieces.

With the sword in hand, I’ll convince him to step down and free Mavis.

Or get killed trying.

My time at Mount Olympus Academy is coming to an end. The only question is, whether I’ll exit the gates dead or alive.
