Arris attempts to join forces with Saresha, whose love he shunned
"I wish to surrender myself with some circumstance!" These are Gemma's words when she finally gives in to a tempestuous courtship set against the looming Spanish Civil War, a monumental fratricide that nearly smothers the two lovers on the eve of its eruption. The drama has some magical ingredients: a tiny traveling circus, its spirited director, a shaggy big bear, ponies, a somewhat quixotic young knight, the aforementioned mysterious and ravishing redhead who dances on a high wire, plus occasions that reach from the hilarious to the hideous. It is also a chilling reminder of what can happen when two segments of a society refuse to reach out over an ever widening abyss. 1936 - a year of dark omen. Laurin O'Leary, a young Irishman from County Kildare, has landed himself in a massive emotional calamity and is persuaded to absolve his obligatory Grand Tour as the most convenient means of escape. He roams across the Continent, arrives in Italy and boards a steamer to Republican Spain, there to visit distant relatives and to see the country's fabled treasures. He makes landfall in Barcelona and lodges in the house of an old classmate, son of the US consul, who accompanies him during an exploration of the vibrant city. Rather unexpectedly he gets embroiled in two erotic adventures, one bizarre, the other melancholic in essence, and both disappointing, since he finds himself still a virgin at their conclusion. On the eve of his departure for Madrid a hideous incident sets in motion the novel's underlying theme, namely a relentless deterioration of his placid bourgeois attitudes, brought about by events that will lead him through never imagined heights and depths of emotion. In other words, his Grand Tour is not only a sensual excursion, but also a spiritual quest that will take him eventually to the outmost confines of human perception.

High school gets even harder when there’s an evil god on the loose in the New York Times bestselling author’s YA urban fantasy novel. My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy, a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids. And now there’s also Loki, the evil god I helped set free against my will. On the bright side, I finally got a date with Logan Quinn, the hottest—and deadliest—Spartan at Mythos. But I should have known it was destined to end in disaster. If we'd gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I'd have been more prepared. I definitely didn’t expect to get arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout.

If I'm going to get out of this mess alive, I'll have to do it myself.

The Regency-inspired kingdom of Calatini is filled with magic and tender romance. But even in Calatini, magic comes with a cost, and sometimes a curse can become a blessing. Kit, the young, widowed Countess of Blaine, must remarry. She's already chosen the perfect husband—except she can't stand his kisses. But on Longnight, the Goddess blesses her with a powerful illusion: Kit shall appear a hideous crone until she becomes who she was meant to be. Before anyone from court sees her, she flees to the one person she knows shall help—Mel, the gentleman she loved as a girl who is now a priest for the Goddess. Mel, the middle son of a wealthy duke but called to serve the Goddess, has been avoiding Kit since discovering her cruel lies separated his brother from the girl he loved. But when Kit begs Mel for his help, he feels compelled to agree for the sake of the devout and tender girl he'd once loved. But no one can break the Goddess's illusion, not even a wise elf or a powerful seer. So with Mel's support, Kit settles into life at the Goddess's temple. She and Mel continue to clash, and those clashes soon lead to passionate kisses—ones she actually enjoys. But a priest would never marry an unworthy lady like her, and she can't live the rest of her life as a crone. Somehow, Kit must break her unwanted illusion, forget about Mel, and return to court where she belongs. Yet the Goddess's plans are not so easy to foil, and she has other ideas for Kit and Mel. The Goddess's Illusion is Jane Austen meets Howl's Moving Castle, with the outpouring of magic, fantasy, and clean romance that make the Calatini Tales beloved. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "As I continue to read the stories in the Calatini world, I'm completely captured by the writing of Katherine Dotterer ... the romance in this is mostly clean and certainly swoonworthy."
