Sinopse

Yamina Taleb is approaching her seventieth birthday. These days, she strives for a quiet life, grateful to the country that hosts her and her adored family. The closest she gets to drama is scooping 'revolutionary' bargains in the form of plastic kitchenware gadgets. But Yamina's children feel differently about life in Paris. They don't always fit in, and it hurts. Omar wonders whether it's too late to change course as he watches the world pass him by from the driver's seat of his Uber. His sisters are tired of having to prove themselves and their allegiance to a place that is at once home, and not. When the Talebs go away together on holiday - not to the motherland, but to a villa-with-pool rental near the Atlantic coast - they come to realise just how strongly family defines our sense of belonging. Moving between Algeria and Paris, Discretion touchingly evokes the realities of a first- and second-generation family as they carve out a future for themselves in France, finding one another as they go along.

    Can Aeron and Faran find a way to destroy the demons forever? Or will The Realm fall, and with it, Earth?

    Something sinister is happening at a care home in a British seaside town—and Aubrey the cat is perfect at sniffing out trouble . . . 
     
     
     
    Aubrey had initially dreaded the move to the coast with the Goodmans, but now he loves it. All those rock pools to muck about in, caves to explore, and endless food opportunities from the beach huts means life is good. And he's especially pleased that his best friend, Vincent, has joined the household. 
     
     
     
    But the sun slips behind a cloud when a body is found near Lilac Tree Lodge, the home for the elderly in which Molly Goodman works. Not to mention that items have been going missing from the residents' rooms. Suddenly it doesn't all seem quite so jolly. But Aubrey and Vincent have been spending some time on the premises as part of a visiting-pet program, and they've seen enough to know that a game of cat and mouse is afoot . . .

    Things are about to get messy... 
    I’m Paige Harper, and while I’ve lost some things over the years—my parents, some business, a couple pair of panties—I think I might have finally found a man to settle down with...except he’s a werewolf. 
    Nico and I have barely had time to declare our feelings, much less get any time alone, when we discover there might be an answer to the big question of what happened during the Great Ghosting—a mass disappearance which claimed my family. In fact—we might even be able to reverse it. But that means going into the heart of O.H.I.O, a super-secret, anti-supe organization that has terrorized me and my friends before. I’ve got some info that could bring them down, and they’ve extended an olive branch...but there just might be a blade behind it. 
    When things turn sinister, it looks like one of us might end up dead before Nico and I get to seal the deal—in bed. My man will defend me to the end, but that means accessing his darker side, and the violence that’s led him astray before. When push comes to shove, will Nico become the cruel monster he was before I knew him? And, am I willing to give up everything – including my life, and a possible future with Nico - in order to get my parents back? 
    One things for sure—nobody is coming out of this clean.

    Nothing has happened. Not yet, anyway. This is how all things begin. 
     
     
     
    Welcome to Apex City, formerly Bangalore, where everything is decided by the mathematically perfect Bell Curve. 
     
     
     
    With the right image, values, and opinions, you can ascend to the glittering heights of the Twenty Percent—the Virtual elite—and have the world at your feet. Otherwise you risk falling to the precarious Ten Percent, and deportation to the ranks of the Analogs, with no access to electricity, running water, or even humanity. 
     
     
     
    The system has no flaws. Until the elusive "Ten Percent Thief" steals a single jacaranda seed from the Virtual city and plants a revolution in the barren soil of the Analog world. 
     
     
     
    Previously published in South Asia only as Analog/Virtual, The Ten Percent Thief is a striking debut by a ferocious new talent.
