Dead Ringer - Wicked! Part Four (Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings)

Dead Ringer - Wicked! Part Four

Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: I burst out of a clump of bushes and froze. Silhouetted against the moonlit sky were several massive shapes.

What if Eileen had infected something else? What if the hospital had cockroaches? Or bedbugs? What if the frogs weren't all dead? 

I stifled a scream.

It's WICKED! It's got you in its grip. And it's to be continued.

Dead in the Family- Sookie Stackhouse #10 (Charlaine Harris)

Dead in the Family - Sookie Stackhouse #10

Charlaine Harris

Blurb: If you think you relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton.

In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.

Dead to the World - Sookie Stackhouse #4 (Charlaine Harris)

Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse #4)

Charlaine Harris

Blurb: Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's pretty. She does her job well. But she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie's gift: she can read minds. That's not exactly every man's idea of date bait - unless they're undead; vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that's just the kind of guy Sookie's been looking for. Maybe that's why when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn't just drive on by. He hasn't got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he's sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie's help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life.

Sookie's investigation into what's going on leads into a battle between witches, vampires and werewolves. But there could be even greater danger - to Sookie's heart - because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist.

There's been no sign of the Beautiful Dead for weeks. Darina achingly misses Phoenix all over again. Surely he will return to help solve the remaining mysteries.

It's been almost a year since Arizona drowned in Hartmann Lake. Suicide, it would seem. But something doesn't add up... Drowning herself in a lake does not sound like a strong, confident Arizona: Ellerton High School's high-maintenance drama queen.

Darina must help Arizona the way she helped Jonas. But invisible wings are beating, the Beautiful Dead are in danger and time is running out...

Something strange is happening in Ellerton High. Jonas, Arizona, Summer, Phoenix. All dead within a year.

Grief-stricken Darina can't escape her heartache or visions of her dead boyfriend, Phoenix, and the others who died. And all the while, the sound of beating wings echoes inside her head ...

Are the visions real? Or do the Beautiful Dead only exist in Darina's traumatised imagination?
