From a prize-winning storyteller, this New York Times bestseller shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, and that the communities we build are fragile but vital. It is very funny in places, and heartbreaking in others. The repercussions of that moment draw in the whole community, from Sportcoat's best friend - Hot Sausage - to the local Italian mobsters, the police (corrupt and otherwise), and the stalwart ladies of the Five Ends Baptist Church.DEACON KING KONG is a book about a community under threat, about the ways people pull together in an age when the old rules are being rewritten. In a housing project in south Brooklyn, a shambling old church deacon called Sportcoat shoots - for no apparent reason - the local drug-dealer who used to be part of the church's baseball team. This alone may qualify it as one of the year's best novels.'

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK 'A hilarious, pitch-perfect comedy set in the Brooklyn projects of the late 1960s.

Enter the sexy alpha, Trey, with an offer to mate to fix both their problems for the time being. When her dad tries to marry her off to a sadistic creep for the benefit of a powerful alliance, Taryn’s decided she’s had enough, and that she must abandon her pack. This results in her pack, and even her own father, treating her like crap. It carries the unique aspect in the fact that Taryn is latent, meaning she is unable to shift into her wolf form. I’m not a huge fan of paranormal romances, especially those involving wolves, but I gotta say even I enjoyed this one. If the two succeed in convincing their respective packs that they’ve chosen each other as mates, Trey will win valuable political allies, while Taryn will escape an odious arranged mating.īut there are a lot of potential pitfalls to this plan-including the very real possibility that the wolf shifters, overwhelmed by their growing attraction to each other, will be unable to maintain the clear heads needed to pull off the deception.

After all, Trey-who was only fourteen when he defeated his own father in a duel, winning the right to be alpha of his pack-can’t have anything to offer the talented healer besides trouble, or so she thinks.

Kiernan, best known for her contemporary settings, gothnoir tales of pain and wonder, and atmospheric stories of Lovecraftian. Notes: One of 250 signed and numbered copies of this dark SF novel. Audrey Cather struggles to remember what she's spent so long trying to forget - the nightmare she once faced almost ninety trillion miles from Earth. The last surviving member of the crew of the starship Montelius, exopaleontologist Dr. In a bleak and frozen Paris, at the dawn of the 22nd Century, an old woman is forced to confront the consequences of her part in these discoveries and the ghosts that have haunted her for almost fifty years. Three centuries in the future, though much of Earth has been crippled by war, pollution, and catastrophic climatic change, man has at last traveled to the stars and even found evidence of at least one extraterrestrial civilization. Now she returns to sf with a masterful thirty-thousand word novella, The Dry Salvages. Kiernan, best known for her contemporary settings, "gothnoir" tales of pain and wonder, and atmospheric stories of Lovecraftian terror, was first published as an author of dark science fiction.

So it begins with a full-page close-up of Adjoua’s baby Bobby, who is very cute…but also looks absolutely nothing like Moussa. ]] begins almost immediately after the end of Aya it’s a continuation of the same story rather than being a new, separate graphic novel. But it was also clear that Moussa was not the father of Adjoua’s child, and that Bonaventure strongly suspected that. My personal theory is that Aya is based on an older sister or cousin of Abouet’s, one of her strong connections back to her homeland.)īy the end of Aya, Aya herself hadn’t been much changed, but her friend Adjoua had just given birth to a baby she claimed belonged to Moussa, the unmotivated son of local rich man and business owner Bonaventure Sissoko. (Abouet did grow up in Ivory Coast, though she left in the early ‘80s at the age of twelve – so even Aya’s story couldn’t be directly hers. The title character was actually the least involved in the plot, adding to a slight suspicion that the story was partially autobiographical. ]] was one of the surprise pleasures of last year, a slice-of-life story about three young women and their families and friends in the neighborhood of Yopougon in late ‘70s Ivory Coast.
