A cosy, enchanting story about the profound experience of discovering
an unlikely family in an unexpected place – and realizing that family
could be yours. The House in the Cerulean Sea is an uplifting,
heart-warming fantasy from TJ Klune.
Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a
devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department
in Charge of Magical Youth, he’s spent many dull years monitoring their
orphanages.
Then one day, Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given
a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where
six dangerous children reside – including the Antichrist.
At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could
bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and
enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. And,
as Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose: his duty, or
his dreams . . .
Jaxon Riley is exceptional at three things: starting fights on the ice, picking up women post-game, and going home to fulfill his role as the world’s best cat dad. Relationships, unfortunately, missed the list.
Lennon Hayes is supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead, she’s alone and single, vacationing next door to a surly tattooed man who ran his date off the resort. When a run-in at the bar results in a night of bickering and cocktails, she finds herself tumbling into bed with the enemy next door, then sneaking out before the sun comes up.
Lennon’s plan to start over in a new city is going great, until she starts her new job. The job? The Vancouver Vipers’ new photographer. And the defenseman scowling at her from across the room? The one-night stand she wasn’t supposed to see again. Good thing neither of them are looking for anything serious… Right?
Jaxon may not be used to falling, but if he’s going to go, he refuses to go alone. If he falls, he wants Lennon to fall with him.
Perfect for fans of Jessica Jones and True Blood, this is a blockbuster modern fantasy set in a divided world where one woman must uncover the truth to seek her revenge.
Half-Fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. Every night is a party and Bryce is going to savour all the pleasures Lunathion - also known as Crescent City - has to offer. But then a brutal murder shakes the very foundations of the city, and brings Bryce's world crashing down.
Two years later, Bryce still haunts the city's most notorious nightclubs - but seeking only oblivion now. Then the murderer attacks again. And when an infamous Fallen angel, Hunt Athalar, is assigned to watch her every footstep, Bryce knows she can't forget any longer.
As Bryce and Hunt fight to unravel the mystery, and their own dark pasts, the threads they tug ripple through the underbelly of the city, across warring continents, and down to the deepest levels of Hel, where things that have been sleeping for millennia are beginning to stir...
