Hopefully there, surrounded by plants and flowers, Bri will finally learn to control her gift. But their new home is sinister in ways they could never have imagined--it comes with a specific set of instructions, an old-school apothecary, and a walled garden filled with the deadliest botanicals in the world that can only be entered by those who share Bri's unique family lineage.<br \/>\nWhen strangers begin to arrive on their doorstep, asking for tinctures and elixirs, Bri learns she has a surprising talent for creating them. One of the visitors is Marie, a mysterious young woman who Bri befriends, only to find that Marie is keeping dark secrets about the history of the estate and its surrounding community. There is more to Bri's sudden inheritance than she could have imagined, and she is determined to uncover it . . . until a nefarious group comes after her in search of a rare and dangerous immortality elixir. Up against a centuries-old curse and the deadliest plant on earth, Bri must harness her gift to protect herself and her family.<br \/>\nFrom the bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead comes another inspiring and deeply compelling story about a young woman with the power to conquer the dark forces descending around her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-02T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Thursday!

The real Harper can\u2019t afford for anyone to find out about the Tinder profile for three very important reasons:<br \/>\n1. Her mom is the school dean and dating profiles for students are strictly forbidden.2. Harper doesn't even know if she likes anyone like that\u2014let alone if she likes other girls.3. If this secret gets out, her father could lose the election, one she's not sure she even wants him to win.<br \/>\nBut upon meeting Margot Blanchard, the drumline leader who swiped right, Harper thinks it might be worth the trouble to let Margot get to know the real her.<br \/>\nWith her dad\u2019s campaign on the line, Harper\u2019s relationship with her family at stake, and no idea who made that fake dating profile, Harper has to decide what\u2019s more important to her: living her truth or becoming the First Daughter of America.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-02T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Thursday!

Across the Western world, museums display the spoils of war, of conquest, of colonialism: priceless pieces of art looted from other countries, kept even now.<br \/>\nWill Chen plans to steal them back.<br \/>\nA senior at Harvard, Will fits comfortably in his carefully curated roles: a perfect student, an art history major and sometimes artist, the eldest son that has always been his parents\u2019 American Dream. But when a shadowy Chinese corporation reaches out with an impossible\u2014and illegal\u2014job offer, Will finds himself something else as well: the leader of a heist to steal back five priceless Chinese sculptures, looted from Beijing centuries ago.<br \/>\nHis crew is every heist archetype one can imagine\u2014or at least, the closest he can get. A conman: Irene Chen, Will\u2019s sister and a public policy major at Duke, who can talk her way out of anything. A thief: Daniel Liang, a premed student with steady hands just as capable of lockpicking as suturing. A getaway driver: Lily Wu, an engineering student who races cars in her free time. A hacker: Alex Huang, an MIT dropout turned Silicon Valley software engineer. Each member of his crew has their own complicated relationship with China and the identity they\u2019ve cultivated as Chinese Americans, but when Will asks, none of them can turn him down.<br \/>\nBecause if they succeed? They earn fifty million dollars\u2014and a chance to make history. But if they fail, it will mean not just the loss of everything they\u2019ve dreamed for themselves but yet another thwarted attempt to take back what colonialism has stolen.<br \/>\nWith poetic language, a fun, commercial hook, and a plot that spans the Western world, <i>Portrait of a Thief<\/i> is both a cultural heist and an examination of the Chinese American identity, as well as a necessary critique of the lingering effects of colonialism that readers won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-02T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Thursday!

Dao, Dhonielle Clayton, J.C. Cervantes, and L. L. McKinney, following one family over several generations, and the curse that plagues it. <\/b><br \/>\nZora Broussard has arrived in New Orleans with not much more than a bag of clothes, a beautiful voice, and a pair of enchanted red shoes. Running from a tragic accident caused by her magic, Zora wants nothing more than to blend in, as well as to avoid her overbearing aunt and mean-spirited cousins. Music becomes Zora\u2019s only means of escape, yet she wonders if she should give it all up to remove the powers that make her a target, especially as a Black woman in the South.<br \/>\nBut when Zora gets the chance to perform in a prominent jazz club, she meets a sweet white pianist named Phillip with magic of his own, including a strange mirror that foretells their future together. Falling into a forbidden love, Zora and Phillip must keep their relationship a secret. And soon the two discover the complicated connection between their respective families, a connection that could lead to catastrophe for them both. In the era of segregation and speakeasies, Zora must change her destiny and fight for the one she loves . . . or risk losing everything.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-02T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Thursday!

Thanks to her crisis-manager parents, she doesn't just have to wear layers of clothes and a hat the size of a spaceship. She has to stay away from all hint of light. Say goodbye to windows and running outdoors. Even her phone becomes a threat when its screen burns her.<br \/>\nViola is determined to maintain a normal life, particularly after she meets Josh. He's a funny, talented Thor look-alike who carries his own mysterious grief. But the intensity of their romance makes her take more and more risks, and when a rebellion against her parents backfires dangerously, she must find her way to a life -- and love -- as deep and lovely as her dreams.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-02T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Thursday!
