    The Phone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
    The invaders came down to Earth in their ships and multi-legged battle armor, and we had no way to stop them from taking the water. Made sense. They looked like massive crabs, after all. The war was over in days. Now, those left behind eke out a parched existence in the scorched rubble, avoiding the hunter-killer teams of crabs as they scour Earth for whatever they deem valuable. Sixteen-year-old Yasmine Whitten is an expert at navigating the wastes; born into this world, she not only survives; she thrives. But she's got a secret: her mother's old cell phone. Kept intact for 13 years of alien invasion and kept charged by a tiny solar panel, these two relics of a dead world give her sanity and a host of tools that allow her to stay ahead of the scavengers, both human and crab alike. It's a flashlight and a camera, and when she can't sleep, she can comfort herself in the cold desert by looking at pictures of her mother and father and by reading their old text messages to one another. She's doing well enough, for a teenager on her own in a ravaged world. Until the phone rings.   The Phone is author W.J. Orion's first young-adult science-fiction novel. First in a planned trilogy of Dry Earth titles, it's suitable for teenagers and adults alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bailey Carr.

    The Demonologist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    Professor David Ullman is among the world's leading authorities on demonic literature. Not that he's a believer. He sees what he teaches as a branch of the imagination and nothing more. So when offered a luxury trip to Venice to consult on a 'phenomenon', he accepts, taking his 11-year-old daughter, Tess, with him. Amidst the decadent splendour of the city, David makes his way to the address he's been asked to visit. What he witnesses in the tiny attic room shakes him to the core: a man restrained in a chair, clearly insane. But what David hears the man say is worse. The voice of his father, dead for 30 years, repeating the last words he ever spoke to his son. Words that have left scars - and a mystery - behind. Terrified, David is determined to leave with Tess as quickly as possible. But he can't shake the feeling that something is following him. And then, before his eyes on the roof of their hotel, Tess disappears. But before she falls into the Grand Canal's waters, she utters a plea: Find me. At once frightening and deeply moving, Andrew Pyper's page-turning thriller explores the lengths a father will go to find his daughter, and the darkness he is prepared to confront along the way.

Until El realizes that sometimes winning the game means throwing out all the rules . . .

A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit."-#1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black "A must-read . . . Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. . . .
