Inhalt: Mary soll ein Baby getötet haben. Diese Tat hat ihr Leben zerstört. Jahre voller Angst vergehen, weil Kindermörder im Gefängnis einen schweren Stand haben. Sechs Jahre später. Das Leben mit einer Fußfessel ist fast so hart wie der Knast. Marys einziger Halt ist ihr Freund Ted - und ihr ungeborenes Kind. Damit beginnt ein neuer Albtraum. Denn niemand glaubt, dass ein Baby bei einer verurteilten Kindermörderin in guten Händen ist. Nun hängt Marys Schicksal von der Person ab, der sie am meisten misstraut: ihrer Mutter. Deren wahres Gesicht kennt niemand. Aber wer kennt die wahre Mary? Hart, düster und der Wirklichkeit erschreckend nah: "Orange Is the New Black" trifft auf "Tote Mädchen lügen nicht". Publishers Weekly: "Ein fesselndes und außergewöhnliches Debüt, perfekt konstruiert und umgesetzt." Jason Reynolds: "Ich muss zugeben, mich hat schon lange keine Erzählung mehr so mitgenommen wie diese. Tiffany D. Jackson kratzt erst an der Oberfläche dieser Welt, zerlegt sie dann in Stücke und zertrümmert sie in zahllose Scherben des Unbehagens." Booklist: "Der bittere Trost der Lüge ist ein eng gewobener Debütroman, der mit vielen heftigen Ideen ringt und am Ende das Messer in der Wunde noch einmal tief umdreht." Umfang: 256 S. ISBN: 978-3-86552-830-8

Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable—more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn't turn up for the first day of school, Claudia's worried.
When she doesn't show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn't just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year's rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday's mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday's sister April is even less help.
As Claudia digs deeper into her friend's disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she's gone?

New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson ramps up the horror and tackles America's history and legacy of racism in this suspenseful YA novel following a biracial teenager as her Georgia high school hosts its first integrated prom.
When Springville residents—at least the ones still alive—are questioned about what happened on prom night, they all have the same explanation . . . Maddy did it.
An outcast at her small-town Georgia high school, Madison Washington has always been a teasing target for bullies. And she's dealt with it because she has more pressing problems to manage. Until the morning a surprise rainstorm reveals her most closely kept secret: Maddy is biracial. She has been passing for white her entire life at the behest of her fanatical white father, Thomas Washington.
After a viral bullying video pulls back the curtain on Springville High's racist roots, student leaders come up with a plan to change their image: host the school's first integrated prom as a show of unity. The popular white class president convinces her Black superstar quarterback boyfriend to ask Maddy to be his date, leaving Maddy wondering if it's possible to have a normal life.
But some of her classmates aren't done with her just yet. And what they don't know is that Maddy still has another secret . . . one that will cost them all their lives.
The Haunting of Hill House meets Get Out in this chilling YA psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house story from New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson!
Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their small California beach town to the embattled Midwestern city of Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old stepsister, Piper.
The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary neighbors has its . . . secrets. That's only half the problem: household items vanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off, shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and there's a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari gone.
But "running from ghosts" is just a metaphor, right?
As the house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isn't limited to Maple Street. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find their way through the cracks.
