And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love…and first betrayal.īut when gangsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in clawing their own throats out, the people start to whisper. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang-a network of criminals far above the law.

Perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Serpent & Dove, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. ( Starred review.) In a sweeping intergenerational story infused with magical realism, debut author Leslye Walton tethers grand themes of love and loss to the earthbound sensibility of Ava Lavender as she recollects one life-altering summer as a teenager. Jill Heritage Maza, Montclair Kimberley Academy, Montclair, NJ A unique book, highly recommended for readers looking for something a step away from ordinary. It is beautifully crafted and paced, mystical yet grounded by universal themes and sympathetic characters. This multigenerational tale examines love and considers the conflicting facets of loving and being loved - desire, despair, depression, obsession, self-love, and courage. ( Starred review.) Walton’s novel is both strange and beautiful in the best of ways. It's a story that adults and teenagers can appreciate equally, one.less about love than about the way love can be thwarted and denied ( Ages 14–up). Ostensibly about a 16-year-old born with wings, the novel is also a rich retelling of Ava Lavender's family history. ( Starred review.) Walton debuts with an entrancing and sumptuously written multigenerational novel wrapped in the language of fable, magical realism, and local legend. Should be remembered for the devastatingly beautiful character of Ava Lavender and how she depicts just what it is to be different.

In the case of apopneumatic shock, or the sudden release of a soul, however, the thanergetic burst can be strong enough to isolate the soul and create a revenant. In the case of a natural or slow death, this release is harmless and the soul is pulled in the River. The thalergenic decay, or decay of life energy, inherent to death releases a burst of thanergy. When the 21-year-old Pete Seeger first met Guthrie, six years his senior, backstage at a benefit concert in 1940, he was enthralled by Guthrie’s music, lyrical vision, and charisma. He was the prototype of the 20th Century rambling minstrel, turning his travels and observations into a huge body of topical and timeless music – songs that contrasted our country’s natural glories and sociopolitical shames, pro-labor songs, both pro- and anti-war songs, kids’ songs, patriotic and “left-wing” songs, music for everyday people to think about as they sing. It’s no overstatement to say that American music and America itself would be very different without the lasting influence of the late singer/songwriter Woody Guthrie (1912 – 1967).

Full of riffs on everything from The Vampire Diaries to Anita Blake, the book is never quite gripping enough to work as a real vampire drama or funny enough to work as a parody, but may still delight Cabot diehards and vampire completists. Overbite is Meg’s sexy and hip sequel to her bestselling Insatiable, the story of a soap opera writer with precognitive powers who is recruited into the Vatican’s war against demons and the undead. Written in Cabot's usual charming style, this sequel to Insatiable bears the marks of second book syndrome: pages spent awkwardly retelling past events aimless wandering from subplot to subplot and the inclusion of characters from the previous book who turn out to be irrelevant to the current story.
