House of Salt and Sorrows
In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.
Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father
and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls
now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more
tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery
plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the
family is cursed by the gods.
Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly
suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been
sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk
gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop
them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who--or what--are they really
dancing with?
When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his
own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her
family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is
a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down
long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...
The Raven Boys
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s
Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the
soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year,
when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at
Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from
Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it
all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more
than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam,
the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the
fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of
the four, who notices many things but says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her
true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her
life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys,
she’s not so sure anymore.
