Bly won the Revenant Games, but she lost everything else. In her desperation to resurrect her sister, Bly betrayed Kerrigan, the vampire who she'd planned to sacrifice to the witches before she fell in love with him--only to find out that Elise was never dead. With nothing left, Bly will do whatever it takes to locate her sister. Her only lead on Elise lies with Kerrigan's brother, Donovan, who she turned over to the witches in place of Kerrigan. She spends her nights tracking down witch prisons to rescue him. Meanwhile, Kerrigan is also searching for Donovan, but after Bly's treachery, he refuses her help. But when the vampire queens accuse the two of them of treason, they're only offered one escape from retrieving a mystical root that only grows on the banks of the Hallow Pool, where legend says that vampires and witches were created. Now Kerrigan and Bly must find a way to work together if they want to keep their lives and save their siblings. But they're not the only ones hunting in the forest, and as their feelings for each other rekindle, they risk being torn apart once more.

Summary: Mexican Gothic meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in Christina Li's haunting novel about the secrets that lie in wait in the crumbling mansion of a former Hollywood starlet, and the intertwined fates of the two Chinese American families fighting to inherit it. They say what you don't know can't hurt you. But silence can be deadly. Vivian Yin is dead. The first Chinese actress to win an Oscar, the trailblazing ingénue rose to fame in the eighties, only to disappear from the spotlight at the height of her career and live out the rest of her life as a recluse. Now her remaining family members are gathered for the reading of her will and her daughters expect to inherit their childhood home: Vivian's sprawling, Southern California garden estate. But due to a last-minute change to the will, the house is passed on to another family instead--one that has suddenly returned after decades of estrangement. In hopes of staking their claim, both families move into the mansion. Amidst the grief and paranoia of this unhappy reunion, Vivian's daughters race to piece together what happened in the last weeks of their mother's life, only to realize they are being haunted by something much more sinister and vengeful than their regrets. After so many years of silence, will the families finally confront the painful truth about the last fateful summer they spent in the house, or will they cling to their secrets until it's too late? Told in dual timelines, spanning three generations, and brimming with forbidden romance, betrayal, ambition and sacrifice, The Manor of Dreams is a thrilling family gothic that examines the true cost of the American dream--and what happens when the roots we set down in this country turn to rot."

Summary: "In this profoundly human and moving narrative, the bestselling author of The World Without Us returns with a book ten years in the making: a study of the precarious state of our planet and what it means to be a human on the front lines of this existential crisis. His new book, Hope Dies Last, is a literary evocation of our current predicament and the core optimism of the human species against the worst odds we have ever faced. To write this book, Weisman has travelled the globe witnessing the devastation of climate change and meeting the people striving to mitigate and undo our past transgressions. From the flooding Marshall Islands to wetlands renewal in Iraq, and from the Netherlands to the Korean DMZ to cities and coastlines in the U.S. and around the world, he has witnessed personally the best of humanity battling the heat, the hunger, and the rising tides. He profiles the work of big thinkers-engineers, scientists, economists, and psychiatrists-as they devise innovative and wildly creative responses to an uncertain and frightening future. We are at an unprecedented point in history, as our collective exploits on this planet are leading us to our own undoing, and we could be one of the species marching toward extinction. A remedy to climate anxiety by one of our most important voices on humans' relationship with the Earth, Hope Dies Last fills a crucial gap in the global conversation: Now that we have passed the point of no return in our battle against climate change, how do we feel, behave, act, plan, and dream as we approach a future decidedly different from what we had expected"-- Presents a global examination of the current state of the environment and the human responses to climate change. Developed over a decade, the book combines reportage, science, and personal narratives to explore how individuals and communities around the world are confronting environmental challenges. Weisman documents his travels to regions affected by climate change -- including the Marshall Islands, Iraq, the Netherlands, the Korean DMZ, and various parts of the United States -- where he observes both environmental damage and efforts toward restoration and resilience. The book profiles scientists, engineers, economists, and mental health professionals who are developing strategies to address the complex realities of a changing planet. Rather than offering technical solutions alone, Hope Dies Last also explores the psychological and societal implications of a warming world, addressing how people cope with climate-related anxiety and uncertainty. The book seeks to contribute to the broader discourse on climate change by examining how humanity can respond -- emotionally and practically -- to a rapidly evolving global landscape.
