17 y/o Charlie feels alone in his grief even as he’s folded into his dead brother’s circle of friends & shared grief may hurt the group more than help. As a kiss sends Charlie sliding further into the life his brother should have lived, he risks losing his own #PitMad #YA #CON

Osiris was sent to assassinate the sorceress-queen; now, he’ll defend her with his life. Staving off other assassins is one thing, but the curse plaguing her, and the war it threatens to sow, is an enemy no blade can defeat.#Pitmad #R #YA #F

#LGBT ACOTAR ft. untranslatable German words

Nightmarish creatures prowl music festivals & raves - craving mortal souls.

Two pansexual misfits must save the soulless...

And resist the winged harbingers of wanderlust ('The Fernweh') that so bewitch them.

CORALINE+WHAT DREAMS MAY COME

When a dream demon imprisons Kora’s mama, nothing will stop the 12 y/o Mama’s Girl from getting her back. Not even man-eating trees, a river full of disembodied hands, and murderous wing-headed mythological creatures.

They’d all heard stories of The Gollittock, the abandoned prison off the coast of what was once Croatia, but when Hammel Varka and his survey team arrived on the island, they discovered the stories failed to come close to describing the awaiting horrors. #pitmad
