Best-selling author of Fire and Fury and chronicler of the Trump White House Michael Wolff dissects more of the major monsters, media whores, and vainglorious figures of our time. His scalpel opens their lives, careers, and always equivocal endgames with the same vividness and wit he brought to his disemboweling of the former president. These brilliant and biting profiles form a mesmerizing portrait of the hubris, overreach, and nearly inevitable self-destruction of some of the most famous faces from the Clinton era through the Trump years.

We all witnessed some of the most shocking and confounding political events of our lifetime: the careening last stage of Donald J. Trump’s reelection campaign, the president’s audacious election challenge, the harrowing mayhem of January 6, the buffoonery of the second impeachment trial. But what was really going on in the inner sanctum of the White House during these calamitous events? What did the president and his dwindling cadre of loyalists actually believe? And what were they planning?

"Si è mostri solo perché ci si comporta come tali?". Arriva in Italia "Crave", il primo volume della serie paranormal romance di Tracy Wolff. Il romanzo diventerà presto anche un film prodotto dalla Universal Pictures. In seguito alla morte improvvisa dei genitori, Grace è costretta a lasciare la sua amata San Diego e trasferirsi in Alaska, terra di cui non conosce praticamente nulla. Il primo impatto non è dei migliori: un atterraggio da panico su una pista ghiacciata e un viaggio rocambolesco a bordo di un gatto delle nevi, a temperature polari.

Sembra una mattinata qualunque alla Katmere Academy, mentre Grace si fa strada fra streghe, vampiri, draghi e licantropi per andare a lezione. Eppure, poco dopo, si rende conto che i suoi compagni la fissano più del solito, che le occhiate insistenti la accompagnano in giro per la scuola a ogni passo. E nel giro di qualche istante scopre che quegli sguardi non sono dovuti solamente al fatto che è la ragazza di Jaxon, il principe dei vampiri: negli ultimi quattro mesi, a sua insaputa, è rimasta pietrificata in forma di gargoyle.
