      Et si le plus dangereux serial killer au monde était… votre propre père ? À Lobo’s Nod, petite ville tranquille des États-Unis, nul ne veut croire que le corps de jeune fille retrouvé dans un champ est l’œuvre d’un serial killer. Jazz, lui, en est convaincu. Et il sait de quoi il parle puisqu’il n’est autre que le fils d’un criminel célèbre dans tout le pays pour avoir assassiné des dizaines de femmes. Son père est en prison mais Jazz, lui, est libre et n’a qu’une crainte : que l’opinion le désigne comme le coupable idéal. Il décide alors de faire équipe avec le shérif et de mettre à profit les enseignements de son père dans l’espoir de démasquer le véritable coupable… Mais est-ce si facile quand on a reçu le goût du sang en héritage ? Teinté d’un humour noir et grinçant, I Hunt Killers est un thriller palpitant et totalement addictif !

    • DON'T READ THIS BOOK! Put it down. Back away. Go read another book, one titled Unedited. Because that's the one you want to read. It's super-long and it's got everything in this book, but more of it. More crazy. More pages. More words. More heft. Or ... go ahead and read this one. It probably won't hurt you. Probably. On its surface, this is the story of a boy--Mike--and the girl he loses. It's the story of how he swears to do anything and everything to get her back. It's also the story of a world going to ruin, a world like our own, but seen through a very warped and cracked mirror. It's also the story of a story, a story told only in flashes and excerpts and summaries, a story that contains clues that could fix this broken world or end it once and for all. It's social satire and desperate longing for love and metafiction and alternate worlds ... It's about the power of love and the power of writing and--more importantly--about the limits on them both. It's about architecture and editing. How you build things. How you tear them down. Or tear them apart.

      A Winner of People Magazine’s Best Books for Fall 2019. New York Times bestselling authors Barry Lyga and Morgan Baden have teamed up for the first time to create a novel that’s gripping, terrifying and more relevant every day. Cassie McKinney has always believed in the Hive. Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers. Even hackers — like Cassie’s dad — were powerless against it. But then the Hive came. A better way to sanction people for what they do online. Cause trouble, get too many "condemns," and a crowd can come after you, teach you a lesson in real life. It’s safer, fairer and perfectly legal. Entering her senior year of high school, filled with grief over an unexpected loss, Cassie is primed to lash out. Egged on by new friends, she makes an edgy joke online. Cassie doubts anyone will notice. But the Hive notices everything. And as her viral comment whips an entire country into a frenzy, the Hive demands retribution. One moment Cassie is anonymous; the next, she’s infamous. And running for her life. With nowhere to turn, she must learn to rely on herself — and a group of Hive outcasts who may not be reliable — as she slowly uncovers the truth about the machine behind the Hive.
