Forsaken - Assassin's Creed #5

Oliver Bowden

Blurb: 'I am an expert swordsman. And I am skilled in the business of death. I take no pleasure in my skill. Simply, I am good at it.'

1735 - London. Haytham Kenway has been taught to use a sword form the age he was able to hold one. When his family's house is attacked - his father murdered and his sister taken by armed men - Haytham defends his home the only way he can: he kills.

With no family, he is taken in by a mysterious tutor who trains him to become a deadly killer. Consumer by his thirst for revenge, Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and questioning everything he has ever known.

Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.

Grope - Deadly! #5

Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: I grabbed the phone out of its cradle, hit the button and put it to my ear. 

And nearly fainted.

I could hear moans. And heavy breathing. And people trying to talk with what sounded like gags over their mouths...

'It's Mum and Sprocket,' I sobbed to Con Rod and Purple Cloud. 'I think they're being tortured.'

Alex Duval

Blurb: Malibu had been very, very good to him. Even if the place was bursting with vampires. Or maybe because it was.

He's been attacked by a crazed vampire, consumed with bloodlust, and shot with a crossbow by a vampire hunter...

And yet in spite of all the near-death experiences, Jason wouldn't have had his life any other way. Sienna was worth it all.

It doesn't matter to Jason that his beautiful girlfriend isn't human - they are made for each other. But Sienna and her fellow vampires hide dark, dangerous secrets and Jason's relationship - and his life are at risk...

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Siberia, Dimitri's birthplace, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir's - and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It's graduation, and the girls can't wait for their real lives outside of the academy's cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose's heart still aches for Dimitri. He's out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won't join him, he won't rest until he has silenced her...forever.

But Rose can't forget what she learned on her journey - whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose's prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what - and who - matters most to her. And in the end, is true love really worth the price?
