  Visiting his grandmother near isolated wetlands at Halloween, Darcy is kidnapped by Medea, a witch serving the black arts, to be served up as a demonic sacrifice.
  
  
  Trapped in her cottage, Darcy finds unlikely allies in a talking cat named Bastet, a mechanical named Broom with magic of his own, and four kittens who refuse to leave his side.
  
  
  Bastet brings Darcy's rescuer, the rougarou Bardou, to break him free, and Darcy's taken to Bardou's home. There he meets Bardou's lover, Hunter. The men are as opposite as chalk and cheese, and yet are equally attractive to an increasingly confused Darcy.
  
  
  But Medea isn't finished with Darcy yet, and all three men will face more dangers to find their power of three.

  Sense and Sensibility

  "Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience—or give it a more fascinating name: call it hope."
  
  When Mr. Henry Dashwood dies, his estate passes to his son from a first marriage, leaving his second wife and three daughters—Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret—nearly destitute. Forced to move to the modest Barton Cottage in Devonshire, the sisters must navigate the treacherous waters of love and social standing with very different philosophies. Elinor, representing "Sense," possesses a cautious, composed nature that hides a deep well of emotion. Marianne, representing "Sensibility," is passionate, impulsive, and unashamedly romantic. As they encounter the reserved Edward Ferrars, the dashing but unreliable John Willoughby, and the steadfast Colonel Brandon, both sisters must learn that life requires a delicate balance between the head and the heart.
  
  A Study in Contrasts: Austen brilliantly pits the restraint of the Enlightenment against the rising tide of Romanticism. Through the sisters' parallel heartbreaks, she examines whether it is better to suffer in dignified silence or to give oneself entirely over to the "luxury of grief."
  
  The Reality of Regency Survival: Beyond the romance, the novel is a sharp critique of the economic vulnerability of women in the 1800s. Without an inheritance, the Dashwood sisters' only "career" path is marriage, making every social interaction a high-stakes negotiation for their future security.
  
  The Redemption of the Heart: From the rainy rescue on the hills of Devonshire to the painful betrayals in London ballrooms, Sense and Sensibility is a story of resilience. It is a masterpiece that proves that while "sense" may protect the heart, "sensibility" is what makes life worth living.

  Strega

  Powerfully inventive and atmospheric, Strega is a modern gothic story of nine young women on the cusp of inheriting society's submission to violence, and the age-long myths that uphold it.
  With little boxes of liquorice, hairbands, and notebooks in her bag, Rafa arrives at the remote Alpine town of Strega to work at the grand Olympic Hotel. There, she and eight other girls receive the stiff uniforms of seasonal workers and are taught to iron, cook, and make the beds by austere matrons. In spare moments between tasks, the girls start to enjoy each other's company as they pick herbs in the garden, read in the library, and take in the scenery. But when the hotel suddenly fills with people for a raucous party, one of the girls disappears. What follows are deeper revelations about the myths young women are told, what they are raised to expect from the world, the violence they are made to endure, and, ultimately, the question of whether a gentler, more beautiful life is possible.
  A monument to long-dead maids and their shrouded knowledge, Johanne Lykke Holm's luminescent and jagged prose, delivered in Saskia Vogel's incisive translation, resonates like a spell that keeps exerting its powers long after reading.
