Northanger Abbey

Anonimo

The satire of Gothic fiction, Northanger Abbey is twisted, thorny, and smart. But it’s never quite as dark as its protagonist, Catherine Moreland, expects it to be. After all, Catherine always has her nose in a Gothic novel, which means she imagines everything around her will be more dramatic and romantic than it ever is. Catherine is an average seventeen-year-old. She’s a sports-lover and an imaginative young woman—and she’s at the age when ladies of her era typically participate in courtship and marriage. But her dark filter on the world keeps getting in the way.
 
Northanger Abbey, published posthumously alongside Persuasion, was Jane Austen’s satirical response to the popular fiction of her day. This classic coming-of-age story is brimming with witty parody, over-the-top drama, and a nearly Shakespearean cast of characters.

Martyr

S. Massery

I thought surviving Sterling Falls was the worst of it. 
I was wrong. 
Saint doesn’t remember the last two years—doesn’t remember the war we fought, the people we lost, or the way we burned for each other. To him, I’m a stranger. To me, he’s the man I can’t let go of, even if it feels like starting over with a ghost. 
Reese shows up on the island, raw with regret and determined to prove he’s changed. 
Kade follows, carrying secrets I’m not sure I want to uncover. 
We’re trapped together in a place meant to heal but built to break us. And beyond the waves of Isle of Paradise, Ouranos is tightening his grip on Sterling Falls, tearing the city I love apart piece by piece. 
If we can’t put our past betrayals aside and fight as one, we’ll lose more than the town we swore to protect. 
We’ll lose each other. 
And this time, there won’t be a second chance. 
-- 
Nemesis and Warrior must be read prior for continuity.
