Summary

Jean Webster's novel 'Dear Enemy' is a classic work of fiction that delves into the complexities of societal norms and individual growth. Written in a charming and witty epistolary style, the book captures the essence of early 20th-century America while addressing timeless themes of love, friendship, and personal development. Set in a New York orphanage, the story follows the correspondence between the protagonist, Sallie McBride, and the orphanage's new director as they navigate challenges and forge unlikely connections.

Her strong voice and narrative skill shine through in this poignant and thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend 'Dear Enemy' to readers seeking a heartwarming yet thought-provoking read that offers valuable insights into human relationships and societal expectations.

    Meet seventeen-year-old Noah York, the narrator of Bart Yates's astonishing debut novel. With a mouth like a truck driver and eyes that see through the lies of the world, Noah is heading into a life that's only getting more complicated by the day. 
     
     
     
    His dead father is fading into a snapshot memory. His mother, the famous psycho-poet, has relocated them from Chicago to a rural New England town that looks like a bad advertisement for small-town America. He can't seem to start a sentence without using the "f" word. And now, the very house he lives in is coming apart at the seams—literally—torn down bit by bit as he and his mother renovate the old Victorian. But deep within the walls lie secrets from a previous life—mason jars stuffed with bits of clothing, scraps of writing, old photographs—clues to the mysterious existence of a woman who disappeared decades before. While his mother grows more obsessed and unsettled by the discovery of these homemade reliquaries, Noah fights his own troubling obsession with the boy next door, the enigmatic J.D. 
     
     
     
    Part Portnoy, part Holden Caufield, Noah York is a touching and unforgettable character. His story is one of hope and heartbreak, love and redemption, of holding on to old wounds when new skin is what's needed, and of the power of growing up whole once every secret has been set free.

    Some bonds weren't meant to be broken. 
     
     
     
    Vampire PI Evan Fournier has dealt with his fair share of danger and heartache, but nothing prepares him for the pain of a broken bond with his mate—especially when his mate is the one who severed it. Bond or no, he still loves Colin—fiercely. Trust, however, is harder to come by. And when a demon starts terrorizing paranormals in Toronto, trust in one another is exactly what they'll need. 
     
     
     
    Former firefighter turned crime-fighting phoenix Colin Zhang knows who Evan was—is—to him, but he doesn't know if he can give him what he wants. He just needs a little time to figure things out. Unfortunately, bringing down a demon bent on mass murder leaves little time for anything else. 
     
     
     
    The only way they'll destroy the demon is by teaming up with an unlikely partner to infiltrate a gang of terrorists. But the only way they'll save themselves is by finding a path back into each other's arms—and hearts—once again.
