But every turn leads her back to the one person she's determined to forget: the vampire Niccol Medici. Not even the bewitched locks trapping him can break their connection.

Book Description
The Cities of Dead: the highly anticipated third book in Alys Arden's spellbinding The Casquette Girls series. Old World witches collide with the French Quarter's strangest denizens, setting off events that could tear the fabric of the Natural and Supernatural worlds, and only the most elusive, mischievous Voodoo lwa hold the key to stopping it. As Adele struggles with her losses, Nicco's secrets draw her closer, but Isaac questions Nicco's motives and refuses to let go without a fight. While the coven works to make the streets safe from the Ghost Drinkers, Nicco's family of vampires is ready to break the Saint-Germain curse at all costs and settle a centuries-old feud. To save her loved ones and her cherished city, Adele must unearth New Orleans's best-kept Voodoo secret and piece together fragments of history from sixteenth-century Spain--even if it means discovering secrets she never wanted to know. If she fails, she may lose her magic forever.

Book Description
Anyone who has read J.D. Salinger's New Yorker stories, particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme--With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is full of children. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices--but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

And why does the presence of a perfectly ordinary woman in a post office queue leave another customer pallid and sweating with fear? Beware what you open this Christmas!

Book Description
FIRST IN THE STUNNING TRILOGY Eclipse Bay has grown and flourished amongst the sharp cliffs and hidden coves of the rugged Oregon coast. But this small town is also filled with secrets as treacherous as the landscape and rivalries as fierce as an ocean storm. Their grandfathers hated each other. Their fathers hated each other. But they don’t hate each other. Not at all.... Hannah Harte remembers the long-ago night on the beach that revealed Rafe as more than just “that disreputable Madison boy.” And Rafe remembers the heroic gesture that proved Hannah’s fierce spirit was stronger than any feud—and saved him from near-certain imprisonment. Now—reunited by a surprising inheritance after years of living their separate lives—Rafe and Hannah return to Eclipse Bay, and the hostilities that still divide, and bind, their families. And they are discovering something that is at once delightful and deeply disturbing....
