Romanul Jumătatea Rea / Half Bad de Sally Green, care va fi publicat la jumătatea acestei luni de Editura Trei, a stabilit un nou record mondial, potrivit Guinness World Records. Este cel mai tradus roman al unui autor debutant.

Drepturile de publicare au fost vândute până în prezent în 47 de ţări, iar Fox 2000 le-a achiziţionat pe cele de ecranizare. Filmul Jumătatea Rea va fi produs de Karen Rosenfelt, care a mai realizat seria Twilight, Hoţul de cărţi, Diavolul se îmbracă de la Prada sau seria Alvin şi veveriţele.

Jumătatea Rea, primul volum al unei trilogii, este un thriller supranatural, o poveste despre înstrăinare, despre voinţa de a supravieţui a unui băiat căruia nu i se dă nici o şansă.


În zilele noastre, în Anglia, vrăjitoarele trăiesc la un loc cu oamenii: Vrăjitorii albi, care sunt buni; Vrăjitorii negri, care sunt răi; şi Nathan, în vârstă de şaisprezece ani, fiul unei Vrăjitoare albe şi al celui mai temut Vrăjitor Negru.
Ţinut captiv într-o cuşcă, Nathan trebuie să scape înainte să împlinească şaptesprezece ani, când va primi trei daruri de la tatăl său şi va deveni el însuşi vrăjitor – iar dacă va greşi va muri.
Încercarea lui Nathan de a-şi găsi tatăl devine o luptă crâncenă pentru supravieţuire, cu provocări la tot pasul şi în care binele şi răul se dovedesc mult mai complicate decât şi-ar fi imaginat.

"O poveste tulburătoare şi palpitantă ... un protagonist de neuitat" – Publishers Weekly

Hollywood Temptation by Scarlet Wilson Blog Tour

About the book:

Hollywood surgeon Colt Travers needs a new receptionist ASAP. When the adorable—and completely broke—Selena Harris comes in needing stitches, he takes a risk and hires her on the spot. She can pay off her bill, and he won’t have to answer the phone anymore. They're opposites in every way, and she's exactly what he doesn’t want in a woman—impulsive, carefree, and amusing. He's trying to resist her, but the longer she's around, the further he sinks into temptation.

Selena never meant to get herself in such deep financial straits. LA has way too much temptation, from high-end shopping to gorgeous men, and now her life is in chaos. But Colt is different—responsible and noble—and although their chemistry is off the charts, he’s keeping her at arm’s length. She's determined to win his trust--and his heart--but will the secrets she's desperately trying to hide ruin their chance for a big Hollywood happy ending?

Excerpts:

 A car skidded to a halt outside. He stood up and walked over to the window. It wasn’t the type of car that normally appeared in their parking lot. Not the usual parking spot, either. It was usually cars-for-the-stars around here. But this was a run-of-the-mill car. He watched as a blonde bombshell emerged from the car, pressing something to her head. There was a parking
lot directly to her left. It was clearly marked. She had practically blocked the driveway parked there. Another woman who thought the rules were made for everyone else.
She looked upward and he caught his breath. Even in her disheveled state he could see she was a knockout. Blond hair around her shoulders, lovely bone structure—the one thing a plastic surgeon always noted—lightly tanned skin, curves in all the right places, and fuchsia-pink lips. His favorite color on a woman.
He watched as she struggled to straighten her blouse and skirt with one hand, a signature handbag weighing her down as she continued to press something to her head. She stumbled. He winced. The last thing they needed was someone to fall on their way into the clinic and sue them. Bad publicity and lawsuits were not what they needed right now.
Something was caught around her ankle. He could see the bright scrap catching on the stiletto heel of her shoe. She stopped and dumped her bag on the ground then bent down to retrieve the wayward piece of material. Her head shot back up quickly, glancing at all the windows in the clinic. Her face was scarlet.
It wasn’t. It couldn’t be.
Yes, it was.
Colt couldn’t stop the hearty laugh he let out as she bent down and stuffed the pink thong into her bag.

For many generations, the Crownley's always had triplets: two sons and a daughter.

Powers that have not been gifted for many generations begin to emerge within these girls and it attracts the attention of people all over the kingdom.
