One of the Boys: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min

A riveting and emotionally harrowing debut about two young brothers and their physically and psychologically abusive father - One of the Boys is a stunning work by a major new talent. The three of them - a 12-year-old boy, his older brother, their father - have won the war: the father's term for his bitter divorce and custody battle. They leave their Kansas home and drive through the night to Albuquerque, eager to begin again, united by the thrilling possibility of carving out a new life together. The boys go to school, join basketball teams, make friends. Meanwhile their father works from home, smoking cheap cigars to hide another smell. But soon the little missteps - the dead-eyed absentmindedness, the late-night noises, the comings and goings of increasingly odd characters - become sinister, and the boys find themselves watching their father change, grow erratic, then violent. Set in the sublimely stark landscape of suburban New Mexico and a cramped apartment shut tight to the world, One of the Boys conveys with stunning prose and chilling clarity a young boy's struggle to hold on to the dangerous pieces of his shattered family. Harrowing and beautiful, Daniel Magariel's masterful debut is a story of survival: two foxhole-weary brothers banding together to protect each other from the father they once trusted but no longer recognize. With the emotional core of A Little Life and the compact power of We the Animals, One of the Boys is among the most moving and remarkable debut novels you'll ever experience. ungekürzt.

Love Found in a Cozy Town: A Holiday Romance, Vol. 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min

Is there such a thing called fate? Does fate give you second chances in love? Juliet feels like she didn't really get a first chance. Her first marriage was a disaster. She had never felt inclined to take a chance on a man after that. The risks were too great, especially when she had two children to consider. She didn't think her heart could handle having her trust broken again. But Michael has known love, and wants it again. He wants it with Juliet. It took just one look for him to realize that Juliet was everything he wanted. Now, he wants to woo her like the princess she is, and he wants to give her fun, love, pleasure and joy. It's never that easy, though, and Juliet knows that. Juliet's family is old money, and they would never approve of somebody like Michael, a teacher from the wrong side of the neighborhood in Manhattan, being a part of Juliet's life. Juliet is a grown woman with her own life, but when she is with her family for the holidays, the weight of their disapproval threatens to crush her. She refuses to think of what her family might say about her friendship - and more - with Michael. On top of all that, why is Tony, her brother, so interested in her comings and goings? What does his friend, Ross Carmichael, want with Juliet? It's a confusing time, but the one thing she's getting surer and surer of is that even if it makes no sense, she will always be able to trust Michael.

The Bling Ring: How a Gang of Fame-Obsessed Teens Ripped Off Hollywood and Shocked the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min

The true story that inspired the Sofia Coppola film. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson: robbed. More than $3 million in stolen clothing, jewelry, shoes, and handbags reported missing. Who is behind one of the most brazen string of crimes in recent Hollywood history? Meet the Bling Ring: a band of club-hopping teenagers from the Valley with everything to lose. Over the course of a year, the members of the now infamous Bling Ring allegedly burglarized some of the biggest names in young Hollywood. Driven by celebrity worship, vanity, and the desire to look and dress like the rich and famous, these seven teenagers made headlines for using Google maps, Facebook, and TMZ to track the comings and goings of their targets. Many of the houses were unlocked. Alarms disabled. A "perfect" crime - celebrities already had so much, why shouldn't the Bling Ring take their share? As the unprecedented case unfolded in the news, the world asked: How did our obsession with celebrities get so out of hand? Why would a group of teens who already had so much, take such a risk? Acclaimed Vanity Fair writer Nancy Jo Sales found the answer: they did it because each stolen T-shirt or watch brought them closer to living the Hollywood dream... and because it was terrifyingly easy. For the Bling Ring the motivation was something deeper than money - they were compelled by a compulsion to be famous. Gaining unprecedented access to the group of teens, Sales traces the crimes minute by minute and details the key players' stories in a shocking look at the seedy, and troubling, world of the real young Hollywood. ungekürzt.
