Taking the literary world by storm, Eimear McBride’s internationally praised debut is one of the most acclaimed novels in recent years; it is “subversive, passionate, and darkly alchemical. Read it and be changed” (Eleanor Catton). Eimear McBride’s debut tells, with astonishing insight and in riveting detail, the story of a young woman’s relationship with her brother, the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumour, and her harrowing sexual awakening. Not so much a stream-of-consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist, A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing plunges inside its narrator’s head, exposing her world firsthand. This isn’t always comfortable—but it is always a revelation. Touching on everything from family violence to religion to addiction, and the personal struggle to remain intact in times of intense trauma, McBride writes with singular intensity, acute sensitivity, and mordant wit. A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing is moving, funny, and alarming. It is a book you will never forget. Winner of the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction 2014 Winner of The Desmond Elliott Prize 2014 Shortlisted for The Folio Prize 2014 Winner of the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award 2014 Winner of The Goldsmiths Prize 2013

(This is the book 2 of POE chronicles - please check out book 1 Evolution first ) Evolution had created us. Allowed us to be different, given us a chance to survive outside the walls of Citybases. But evolution had also made them. They might not be as intelligent as we are, but nature is on their side this time around. This is a game of survival; a game to see who adapt faster and grow stronger. You have no idea who your enemies are or what to believe. All you can do is try your best to stay alive. Nature only favours those with the right adaptation, ruthlessly eliminating the rest. Nature will make you. It will also break you. Only the fittest survive. Amazing cover by @MulanJiang Now available on Kindle or as paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6ZLXHQ

Amazing cover by Forever_young2296 The final story to the Secret Beneath the eyes series through out the generations of the Benson family, it seemed each time a Benson child found his mate a tragedy would occur, was it all coincidence or was there a greater force at work. Ivy and Hailey had finally grown up, Hailey turning into a lovely werelion who was looking forward to finding her mate, while Ivy refused her parents offer to change her into a wolf and stayed human. Years of living with the pack had not changed her mind or opinion of being a werewolf, if anything it had made her more determined to get away. But what happens when the arrival of the Alphas of surrounding packs show up and one of them claim that she is his mate? I guess only time will tell if Ivy will finally give in to what everyone else wants and allow them to change her or will the sudden arrival of her biological father give her more options?
