Sinopse

Laura Gethryn spends the first 7 years of her life in the shadow of the Black Mountains. Her horsey mother idolizes the absent soldier and his return a broken man, emasculated by the Great War, leaves them destined to remain the disappointed parents of a single girl child. Caught up in the dance of dysfunction that is their marriage, they hand over Laura's education to Mr Howells, a very different man to Gethryn. Welsh speaking, working-class and intellectual, he, his talented daughter, Mair, and disaffected son, Idris, open Laura's eyes to a surprising new world. Years later, Laura receives in the mail a package: Mr Howell's Parisian notebooks detailing his failure to escape the chains of his upbringing. Reading them, destroying them, may be the biggest service she does both her mentor and her future self.

    Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? 
    Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." 
    "Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." 
    "I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." 
    In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... 
    He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" 
    "Yes, Pop?" 
    His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." 
    "But didn't you want me—" 
    "I changed my mind."

    Everything I've worked for is within reach. All I have to do is sacrifice my fated mate. 
     
     
     
    I knew entering the Schorchedlands would mean facing my worst nightmares. But I also knew that if I beat this cursed place—if I could meet terror face to face and survive—I would earn every one of my dreams. 
     
     
     
    I would be Prince Reveln of the Luminescent Court, savior of the fae realm and the new High Heir. I'd prove my father wrong. I'd live up to my brother's legacy. I'd gain it all. That was the deal. But once again, Caelynn has ruined everything. 
     
     
     
    She's ruined it by saving me, by sacrificing herself—again. Now that she's here, it means I can still achieve all of my dreams—I'll just have to leave her behind in this terrible place along with the wicked souls of fallen fae, and some of the most evil creatures to ever exist. 
     
     
     
    But I can't. I can't live my life knowing she is here, trapped. 
     
     
     
    So now, not only must I complete my near-impossible task of saving the fae realm, I must also find a way to free Caelynn from the prison she chose for herself. And Caelynn is not the only being trapped within these walls that craves freedom. 
     
     
     
    We are in the Night Terror's realm now. And we're playing her game.

    I have my fresh start in a new town, this time a widow with a preteen daughter who rolls her eyes enough to make them stay that way. Too bad my past mistake is also here to greet me. 
     
     
     
    Daxon Hellman. Town a-hole. Hot young contractor hired to build my house in the woods. 
     
     
     
    It's only when I'm face-to-face with him for the first time that I realize he's the mystery man from two years ago. It's a long story of too many drinks, grief that made me resort to acting out, and an encounter in the dirty bathroom of a bar. Try as I might, I can't forget that night. 
     
     
     
    Daxon growls at me . . . I irritate him with my constant social media posting. He orders me to do things . . . I trample all over his ridiculous commands with a smile and a choice finger in the air. We fit together like rain and exposed drywall. 
     
     
     
    Daxon and I reach a truce: to let our bodies do the talking and keep our hearts locked down. I'm older than him, which means I'm smart enough to keep a clear head. Until I realize when it comes to love, age and common sense do not go hand in hand. 
     
     
     
    This crazy town has more surprises up its sleeve to drive us apart, which makes me think this might not be our forever home after all . . .
