    Liam Reilly is an unattached, occasionally delinquent, teenage ward of the state. He lives in a university workshop. He rides a bike made of bamboo. His best friend is an AI named Eiann. Oh, he’s a genius, too. Liam is content with his life, until a demon named Narvicous Scalegrim Gorgonzola Grimmold Maximus the Terrible (Gerald for short) appears in his workshop eating Cheez-Its and twerking to Cardi B. When a bunch of frat boys open a gate to hell in their basement foosball lounge, it falls on Liam, Eiann, and Gerald to stop the demon army waiting on the other side. Liam — an avowed loner — is stuck working with a bunch of other social outcasts: Jeanie, a T-shirt entrepreneur; her excessively “woke” cousin Mitchell; their androgynous friend Jax a.k.a. Jax Vader a.k.a. DJ Max Spinz; and a mysterious, wise-cracking, East African ninja-assassin, Esmeralda — who also happens to be blind — except when she visits other dimensions; that’s a different story. Thrown together with a busload of Latinx children trying to escape a migrant detention facility and an underworld demigod, Liam and his lab partners — eww, please don’t call them friends — basically have to save the world. If they can manage to save each other first. Zombies, Frat Boys, Monster Flash Mobs is what you get when you take the supernatural capers of Jonathan Stroud’s Bartimaeus Sequence, add in the unabashed nerdiness of Hank Green’s An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, followed by a helping of the irreverent edginess of an Angie Thomas novel. Zombies, Frat Boys, Monster Flash Mobs is current. It is socially relevant. Don’t call it a sequel! It’s not. But it is a part of an interconnected world, the Snog Team Six Series, with some returning characters, reoccurring themes, not to mention some running jokes — if you are hip enough to get them, wink wink, nudge nudge.

    Two novellas and a novel full of dark bad boys who see the light.   Bad Daddy: He’ll make her pay.  Powerful and ruthless Marco Giannis suspects Dru Stark is having an affair with his little sister’s husband.  When he discovers Dru’s calculating plans to get pregnant, he steps in to stop her scheme by seducing away the temptress from his brother-in-law.   Dru has motives beyond his protective and jealous understanding, but he mangles their relationship with his cold brutality. Getting Dru pregnant with his baby ruins any possibilities when he demands that they marry, but she won’t surrender.  It’s going to take some passionate persuasion to convince Dru he is sincere, along with doing something he’s never done before. The powerful Giannis is going to have to open his heart if he has any hope of ever persuading Dru to be his wife.   Bad Husband: I never wanted to like f*ing her.   Carter Maxim has spent more than twenty years plotting his vengeance.  Two people ruined his father’s life and left Carter an orphan. His ex-stepmother and her new husband. He’ll take everything from them.  He’s ruined their business and owns their home. There’s only one last move to make. He wants to take a wife from the family to replace the one who left years ago.  Their daughter, shy and innocent college student Emily, will do nicely as the sacrificial lamb for the Kisadda family. He might not have much in common with his bookworm, robotics-major blackmailed bride, but bending her to his will is almost as sweet as his retribution.   Bad Influence: Pay up or put out. That’s the price.  Shana Green’s father is a drunk in debt in debt to a very bad man. Mickey B has his eye on repayment, but on his own terms. It’s going to take an awful lot of f*ing to pay back a debt which isn’t even her own.   ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Juliana Solo.

    Bells for Eli is Adeline (Delia) Green’s first person narrative of her relationship with her first cousin Ellison (Eli) Winfield throughout their childhood into their young adult lives. The novel opens in 1978 in Green Branch, SC, with Delia appearing inert from an unknown sorrow. The story then flashes back to 1959 when Eli drinks Red Devil Lye, the chemical his father used to blow up balloons for Eli’s third birthday celebration and negligently left in a Coca-Cola bottle. Eli’s accident changes the trajectory of both his and Delia’s lives as he emerges, physically and psychologically, a severely damaged boy.In part because of Eli’s accident, the cousins grow unusually close during the 1960s and '70s, against the backdrop of small-town South Carolina. An only child influenced by a doting mother and alcoholic father, Eli struggles mightily toward adolescence. He encounters bullying and shunning by schoolmates who don’t understand and mock his disfigurement and frailty. Achieving acceptance is torturous not only for Eli, but also for Delia who is her cousin’s protector.Later - his tubes and trach gone - Eli appears normal as he bolts into adolescence, a heartbreaker with a double standard, guarding Delia’s vulnerability when she ventures into a destructive romantic relationship. Determined as Eli is to rescue his beloved cousin from her boyfriend’s ulterior motives, Delia is equally committed to saving Eli when he falls into the wrong crowd enamored with drugs.Eli’s accident changes the typical relationship he and Delia might have had. Instead, it grows into an incomparable love, blossoming into an intimacy that cannot be, for they know to love one’s cousin in that way is taboo. The novel concludes with Delia’s discovery of a shocking secret that reveals truths about Eli she has never known.Cover art of Bells for Eli, Mercer University Press, ©2020 used with permission. ungekürzt.
