So you've never lived anywhere else? Have you been anywhere else...?" James smiled a little and shook his head. "I have customers to attend to. No time for my own vacation." "Well, in that case, tend to my toilet." Then, he said something that was completely out of the blue. His question seemed to knock the air out of Dmitri, like a punch to the gut. How could- no, why would someone say that? "Say, you're no communist, are you?" Dmitri had always wanted to visit the West. When he finally gets the chance, he ends up in a retro motel in the middle of no where, and nothing is what he expected. The owner of the motel, James, may haunt Dmitri for the rest of his life, for however long that may be. Best Ranking: #25 in Communism #2 in Motel

Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Pekka. It sounds like the beginning of a fairytale, doesn't it? A story told to children to warm them during winter nights, a tale whispered while sitting by the embers of a dying fire, laughed at over steaming cups of hot chocolate. But fairytales have happy endings. And we all know how this story ends. He didn't start off bad. He was just another pigeon, just another farm boy, just another pocket waiting to be picked. He was a nobody. He came to Ketterdam as a young, healthy, successful man. He left as another victim of Kaz Brekker. This is the story of how Pekka Rollins became the Barrel boss that everyone grew to hate. We are all somebody's monster... [Highest Rankings: #1 in #leighbardugo, #2 in kanej]

Grabbing my arm, he forces me to my feet. Roughly, he binds my hands together and leaves a long strand of rope which he attaches to his own wrist. "Now, you're going to tell me how to find my brother," he orders. "And why would I do that, James?" "Actually, it's Captain. Captain Hook." Seizing the front of my shirt, he yanks me towards him so our faces are only a few inches apart. My dark flashing eyes meet his cold blue gaze. "You will do as I say or pay the price." Synopsis: Jimmy has been the guardian of Neverland longer than she can remember. She thinks solitude suits her well as the magical island is carefully guarded from outside worlds. However, one day, a strange boy washes up on the shore. His complicated past, uncertain future, and outlaw brother threaten Jimmy's sanctuary.

I couldn't put my phone down! Your story is very engaging and amazing!" "I found the book very creative, the idea of setting it in Neverland yet changing the characters from their traditional roles is a great idea. The plot is gripping and interesting. It is full of dramatic surprises and great characters that make the book suspenseful and fun to read." "I love your take on Neverland. Adding Greek mythology was really a nice touch. Jimmy is an unusual character and she seems very opinionated (in a good way), and is very relatable...I love this book!"
