Torment, by Lauren Kate


(@laurenkatebooks) New trailer for the second novel in the addictive Fallen series, from bestselling author Lauren Kate. Hits stores September 28th 2010!

Now that she's found him, Luce can hardly bear to be separated from Daniel, but he tells her he must go. Daniel is hunting down the immortals who want to kill Luce. Luce is hidden at Shoreline, a school with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.

There, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows on her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she realizes that Daniel hasn't told her everything. He's hiding something--something dangerous.

What if Daniel's version of the past isn't the truth? And what if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?

Zach Barrows is an ambitious young White House staffer whose career takes an unexpected turn when he's partnered with Nathaniel Cade, a secret agent sworn to protect the President. But Cade is no ordinary civil servant. Bound by a special blood oath, he is a vampire. Cade battles nightmares before they can break into the daylight world of the American dream, enemies far stranger-and far more dangerous-than civilians have ever imagined.

Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth is the first in a series of novels featuring Nathaniel Cade-the President's vampire.

Imperial Bedrooms, by Bret Easton Ellis


@BretEastonEllis's debut, Less Than Zero, is one of the signal novels of the last thirty years, and he now follows those infamous teenagers into an even more desperate middle age.

Clay, a successful screenwriter, has returned from New York to Los Angeles to help cast his new movie, and he's soon drifting through a long-familiar circle. Blair, his former girlfriend, is married to Trent, an influential manager who's still a bisexual philanderer, and their Beverly Hills parties attract various levels of fame, fortune and power. Then there's Clay's childhood friend Julian, a recovering addict, and their old dealer, Rip, face-lifted beyond recognition and seemingly even more sinister than in his notorious past.

But Clay's own demons emerge once he meets a gorgeous young actress determined to win a role in his movie. And when his life careens completely out of control, he has no choice but to plumb the darkest recesses of his character and come to terms with his proclivity for betrayal.

A genuine literary event.'

How Did You Get This Number, by Sloane Crosley



(@askanyone)
A brand-new book of hilarious and insightful personal essays by the iconic, irresistible Sloane Crosley.

From the author of the sensational bestseller I Was Told There'd Be Cake comes a new book of personal essays brimming with all the charm and wit that have earned Sloane Crosley widespread acclaim, award nominations, and an ever-growing cadre of loyal fans. In Cake readers were introduced to the foibles of Crosley's life in New York City-always teetering between the glamour of Manhattan parties, the indignity of entry-level work, and the special joy of suburban nostalgia-and to a literary voice that mixed Dorothy Parker with David Sedaris and became something all its own.
