Keep an eye on this author.” —Booklist Alice Ahmadi has never been certain of where she belongs. When she discovers a famed emerald necklace while interning at a struggling Parisian magazine, she is plunged into a glittering world of diamonds and emeralds, courtesans and spies, and the long-buried secrets surrounding the necklace and its glamorous former owners. When Alice realizes the mysterious Honeybee Emeralds could be her chance to save the magazine, she recruits her friends Lily and Daphne to form the “Fellowship of the Necklace.” Together, they set out to uncover the romantic history of the gems. Through diaries, letters, and investigations through the winding streets and iconic historic landmarks of Paris, the trio begins to unravel more than just the secrets of the necklace’s obsolete past. Along the way, Lily and Daphne’s relationships are challenged, tempered, and changed. Lily faces her long-standing attraction to a friend, who has achieved the writing success that eluded her. Daphne confronts her failing relationship with her husband, while also facing simmering problems in her friendship with Lily. And, at last, Alice finds her place in the world―although one mystery still remains: how did the Honeybee Emeralds go from the neck of American singer Josephine Baker during the Roaring Twenties to the basement of a Parisian magazine?

Eliza Bright was living the dream as an elite video game coder at Fancy Dog Games when her private life suddenly became public. But is Eliza Bright a brilliant, self-taught coder bravely calling out the toxic masculinity and chauvinism that pervades her workplace and industry? Or, is Eliza Bright a woman who needs to be destroyed to protect "the sanctity of gaming culture"? It depends on who you ask... When Eliza reports an incident of workplace harassment that is quickly dismissed, she's forced to take her frustrations to a journalist who blasts her story across the Internet. She's fired and doxxed, and becomes a rallying figure for women across America. But she's also enraged the beast that is male gamers on 4Chan and Reddit, whose collective, unreliable voice narrates our story. Soon Eliza is in the cross-hairs of the gaming community, threatened and stalked as they monitor her every move online and across New York City. As the violent power of an angry male collective descends upon everyone in Eliza's life, it becomes increasingly difficult to know who to trust, even when she's eventually taken in and protected by an under-the-radar Collective known as the Sixsterhood. The violence moves from cyberspace to the real world, as a vicious male super-fan known only as The Inspectre is determined to exact his revenge on behalf of men everywhere. We watch alongside the Sixsterhood and subreddit incels as this dramatic cat-and-mouse game plays out to reach its violent and inevitable conclusion. This is an extraordinary, unputdownable novel that explores the dark recesses of the Internet and male rage, and the fragile line between the online world and real life. It's a thrilling story of female resilience and survival, packed with a powerful feminist message.

The fate of the world is often driven by the curiosity of a girl. What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured commonplace book. Brought from England on Eleanor’s fateful voyage to the New World, her book was passed down through the fifteen generations of daughters who followed as they came of age. Thirteen-year-old Alice had been next in line to receive it, but her mother’s tragic death fractured the unbroken legacy and the Dare Stone and the shadowy history recorded in the book faded into memory. Or so Alice hoped. In the waning days of World War II, Alice is a young widow and a mother herself when she is unexpectedly presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell, her abandoned family home and the history she thought forgotten. Determined to sell the property and step into a future free of the past, Alice returns to Savannah with her own thirteen-year-old daughter, Penn, in tow. But when Penn’s curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets from beneath every stone and bone and shell of the old house and Eleanor’s book is finally found, Alice is forced to reckon with the sacrifices made for love and the realities of their true inheritance as daughters of Eleanor Dare. In this sweeping tale from award-winning author Kimberly Brock, the answers to a real-life mystery may be found in the pages of a story that was always waiting to be written.

Summary of The Lost Apothecary Short Summary: In 1971 in London, Nella runs a mysterious pharmacist shop, wrongfully giving poison for ladies to murder men who have violated them. When the police track her down, a little youngster who had been helping her, Eliza, offers herself to save Nella. However, a (perhaps magick) tincture Eliza made winds up saving them both, and Nella understands that dealing these poisons isn't the best approach to fix the torment of cheating. In present day, Caroline is a lady who has been cheated on by her significant other. She discovers a piece of information (a vial) about the pharmacist shop, finds it, finds Eliza's contribution, and eventually chooses to throw the vial back into the water to stay quiet. In The Lost Pharmacist, Nella runs a mysterious pharmacist shop taken cover behind a phony back divider in London where she offers poison to ladies, spread by gossip, to be utilized against the men in their lives who have violated them. She keeps a logbook of every exchange. Nella started administering poisons when she was double-crossed by a sweetheart, Frederick. He had ended up being married, yet when Nella had revealed to him she was pregnant, he'd sneakily given Nella a spice to cause a miscarriage. In the present day, Caroline has recently found that her significant other of ten years, James, was cheating on her. She's in London for the trip they should have gone on together. She goes on a mudlarking (searching for old articles in the mud) visit through the Thames and finds a light blue vial carved with a bear (the emblem of Nella's pharmacist shop). Curious about the vial, she starts to examine its history. She's helped by Gaynor, a lady who works at the English Gallery. Back in 1791, a 12-year-old young lady, Eliza Fanning visits Nella's shop. Eliza was asked by her employer, Mrs. Amwell, to bring a poison to kill her husband, Mr. Amwell (it's suggested he is a child molester who has focused on Eliza). The poison functions as expected, and Mr. Amwell dies. Eliza before long re-visits Nella's pharmacy, communicating an interest in Nella's exchange. Eliza is likewise quick to take a break from the Amwell house since she is concerned that Mr. Amwell's ghost is haunting her since she has begun dying (however in reality she has started her period). In present day, Caroline tracks down a reference to an amazing pharmacist, which prompts a potential area for the shop. She runs into a neglected little rear door and at last discovers what previously was Nella's pharmacist shop. She takes photographs of what she sees, including Nella's old logbook, and she later interprets these into notes, including Nella's depictions of her poisons. Back in 1791, a lady named Lady Beatrice Clarence enters Nella's shop, needing to harm her husband’s mistress. At the point when Nella declines to intentionally harm another lady, Lady Clarence takes steps to report Nella to the police. Nella hesitantly satisfies the request with Eliza's help. In the mean time, Eliza visits an enchantment shop to attempt to manage Mr. Amwell's ghost, and she winds up stirring up an enchantment tincture to turn around "bad fortune".
