  “What does it mean then? Being friends with a demon?” 
  Now in possession of the mysterious dagger, Sylvia expected her vampire boyfriend Theo to help her discover the secrets of the ancient artifact. But when Theo abandons her to answer his Maker’s call, she is left to depend on the only reliable person in her life: the demon Pilkington. 
  Unlike Sylvia, Pilkington has always known what he desires, but more than anything, he wants his human friend to be happy—even if that means watching her fight for the love of another man. He’s still a demon, though—and certainly not above tempting Sylvia's heart as their bond grows deeper over the long nights chasing clues about the weapon’s powers. 
  When a chance encounter with a witch reveals Pilkington’s secret, Sylvia must face the questions of her past to find her future. Between dangerous old foes, threatening new enemies, and an unexpected love triangle, she must decide where she belongs in this strange new world—and who she wants to keep close.

  "A dizzying tour of stagecoaches, coaching inns, and the incomparable wit of Old England."
  
  Join the retired businessman and amateur philosopher Samuel Pickwick, Esq., as he leads the eccentric members of the Pickwick Club on a series of expeditions across the English countryside. What begins as a collection of disjointed sketches quickly evolves into a sprawling, hilarious narrative of mistaken identities, legal battles, and social commentary. From the terrifyingly clever rogue Alfred Jingle to the faithful, wisecracking valet Sam Weller—whose "Wellerisms" became a national sensation—this novel captures the joy, absurdity, and occasional darkness of life in the 1830s. The Pickwick Papers isn't just a book; it's the moment the world fell in love with Dickens.
  
  The introduction of Sam Weller changed the course of the novel and Dickens' career. His sharp, street-smart observations and devotion to Mr. Pickwick added a layer of warmth and linguistic playfulness that turned the book into a cultural phenomenon.
  
  Beneath the slapstick and the sports-gone-wrong lies a sharp eye for social absurdity. Dickens takes us from the ridiculous "Pickwickian sense" of political debates to the grim reality of the Fleet Prison, balancing laugh-out-loud comedy with the first glimpses of his lifelong crusade for social justice.
  
  The Pickwick Papers remains a favorite for its sheer abundance of life. It celebrates the virtues of friendship, curiosity, and good-heartedness in a world full of "sharpers" and scoundrels. It is the perfect entry point for anyone wanting to experience the "Inimitable" Dickens at his most joyful.
