Over the centuries, anything Ronan once found pleasure in has faded away to be replaced with blood, death, and the ever-constant battle not to give in to the more savage side of his vampire nature. Every time he wakes, he questions if that day will be the one he succumbs to the beckoning darkness.
As a born hunter, Kadence has been sheltered from the world for her entire life, never allowed to step beyond the walls of her home. It’s not a life she’s happy with, but it’s one she’s come to accept. Everything changes the day her father is slaughtered by a vampire and she escapes the walls that have kept her caged.
After she’s attacked by the monster responsible for killing her father, Kadence is unsure how to react when she’s rescued by Ronan. Though raised to hate vampires, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Ronan as she slowly begins to realize that everything she’s been taught over the years may not be true. Now, she must decide what she wants more; Ronan, her family, or the elusive freedom she’s finally found.

Sussy and Guy are best friends, fourth-graders who share their silliest thoughts and deepest hopes. One afternoon, the two of them decide they must have something of their very own to love. After a trip to the pet store, they bring home a spotted lizard, the one with the ancient face and starfish toes, and they name her Matylda (with a y so it's all her own). With Guy leading the way, they feed her and give her an origin story fit for a warrior lizard. A few weeks later, on a simple bike ride, there is a terrible accident. As hard as it is, Sussy is sure she can hold on to Guy if she can find a way to love Matylda enough. But in a startling turn of events, Sussy reconsiders what it means to grieve and heal and hope and go on, for her own sake and Matylda's. By turns both devastating and buoyant, this story is a brave one, showing how far we can justify going for a real and true friend. Views: 12

In Tall Cotton tells the story of the Woods family, who are forced from their home in the Midwest by the Great Depression. Unlike the downtrodden characters in The Grapes of Wrath, this family is comprised of a school-teacher mother, a gifted mechanic father and two bright sons. Their odyssey and alienation however is no less poignant. The story is told through the eyes of the younger son, Totsy, a sexually precocious fifteen-year-old. He vividly describes the family’s long trek West in their old Model-A Ford; the stops along the way to visit relatives on Route 66; the jobs taken and refused; the sordid and unfamiliar living conditions; and the strange characters that the family befriends along the way. As a subplot we have Totsy’s growing curiosity about sex. His experimentation begins with harmless games with his 6 year old classmates, but when he is confronted with the dark desires of adults his life is thrown into confusion and violence. In his efforts to literally save his life, the boy uncovers the secret flaws hidden in those he loves: his brother’s physical frailty; his mother’s fatal blind spot; his father’s destructive cruelty; his beautiful cousin’s shocking secret life; and his uncle’s frightening demands. But what would his flaw be? And would it be worth growing up to find out? In Tall Cotton is a moving story of growing up and growing wise—two very different things. It merits comparison with Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory and John Knowles’s A Separate Peace. Views: 12
