New Adult Fiction: Thursday, May 30

The weekend is coming, and you may need a book, CD, movie, or other material for your leisure time. If that’s the case, the Macedon Public Library can help! Stop by and pick up something interesting to keep you engaged. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

Butcher & Blackbird: the Ruinous Love Trilogy

When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, they find something elusive — the friendship of two like-minded, pitch-black souls who just happen to enjoy killing other serial killers. From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering. But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind. Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves? Or have they finally met their match?

You Like It Darker: Stories

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life — both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel “the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,” and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again. King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed.

One Perfect Couple

Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla find herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, where the two of them will compete against four other couples in order to win a cash prize. But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real — and the stakes are life or death.
