![]() ![]() Laced with humor amid a steady feeling of dread, the atmospheric narrative chillingly evokes lurking forces capable of tarnishing even the most golden and innocent of days. his is a masterful look at children's numb surprise to the most unsavory of adult developments. In a stunning feat of perspective, Dubosarsky inhabits all 11 girls at once, snaking through a thousand small joys and triumphs and fears and petty grudges as they absorb life's bleakest truths as well their own complicity in them. Unanswerable, they linger past the end of this slender but powerful volume. Questions about responsibility, violence, sex, fear and death bloom beneath their placed surface.

He shows up drunk and naked on the his neighbor’s lawn. This first one follows their lead singer, Killian, as he goes to a remote island to recuperate after one of the band members attempts suicide. Idol is the first in a series with a famous rock band–Kill John– at the center of it. ![]() I was a fan of Callihan’s Darkest London steampunky historic romance series, so I thought I’d try one of her contemporary romances. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Search for a digital library with this title Title found at these libraries: Sorry, no libraries found.
