Now, the world she always dreamed of is rife with danger. That is, until one day she finds her mistress murdered in a pool of blood-and Anouk is accused of the crime. Enchanted from animal to human girl and forbidden to venture beyond her familiar Parisian prison, Anouk is a Beastie: destined for a life surrounded by dust bunnies and cinders serving Mada Vittora, the evil witch who spelled her into existence. But Anouk can never have those things, because she is not really human. Seventeen-year-old Anouk envies the human world, where people known as Pretties lavish themselves in fast cars, high fashion, and have the freedom to fall in love. ![]() ![]() As she reveals without sensationalism, it was her husband who failed, and it was the church that demanded that women accept subservient status and sexual violence. After typical adolescent experimentation, she was haunted by the thought that her parents would believe her to be “a bad seed.” The author structures her life story according to all the ways she failed, sometimes in her eyes but mostly in the eyes of others: bad daughter, bad missionary, bad wife, bad Mormon. ![]() A prevailing metaphor comes early on when, forbidden to leave her yard as a very young girl, she opens the gate and is locked out, portending things to come. (“Born in the covenant: Mormon flex,” she writes with typically arch humor.) Her family wasn’t necessarily doctrinaire, but they were undoubtedly observant, while Gay was a born questioner and explorer. Gay grew up in a Mormon family so deeply rooted in the faith that they were enrolled as “born in the covenant,” meaning that her parents were married in the temple. ![]() Until it didn’t.” It’s a simple declaration but hard won. “Everything in my life confirmed my identity, my faith, and my future. ![]() A reality TV personality recounts an upbringing in a religion that she finally rejected. ![]() ![]() Warning: The emotional roller coaster in this book has caused fans to create actual emotional support groups after reading this dangerously exciting book.

With half the country trying to protect Jade and the other half oblivious to the atrocities committed at the Commander’s hand, it’s a race to see who will win at a deadly game of cat and mouse. While a dutiful son, Roan shouldn’t have to trick his new wife into believing his family accepts her, but as the only one in a position to make the country believe Jade is part of their family, he will do what he has to before his family murders his young bride and makes it look like an accident to get back at Jade’s father. When she’s thrown into the life of being the wife of the Commander’s son and heir, her only hope for survival is convincing Roan Diamond to actually fall in love with her so that he doesn’t kill her on his father’s wishes. ![]() ![]() If the only way to stay alive was to convince your new husband not to murder you and make it look like an accident, could you do it?Īt eighteen, Jade shouldn’t have to be forced to marry the son of her father’s enemy as part of a revenge plot for a failed rebellion. ![]() Here are four books to fill the hole in your heart: Missing The Selection Series?

I also told her that I would probably include a side character of my own, someone who maybe had to grow up too fast and could be the exact opposite of Peter, but push him to grow as he helped her rediscover her own belief in magic. ![]() I’d told her that if I wrote a Peter Pan retelling, I would want to keep it as true to the “original” Peter, the character Barrie created, as possible, while still building off of that foundation. I was inspired to try my hand at my own unique take on a Peter Pan retelling after discussing with a friend how much I loved Peter Pan, and yet felt like few retellings truly did the character justice. *hearty eyes* My first question is, what inspired you to write DUST? So, I had the privilege of reading an early copy of Dust and all I can say is I could. I’d be drinking a mocha frappucino, probably eating a panini, and I’d bring YOU with me, Laura!

Well, Galatea: 2044 has two dozen sex scenes and five scenes of extreme violence. Some of you guys complained that Roula had no sex scenes.

It sure does, especially when there's dopamine involved, a Scooby Snack-type of hormone that makes us feel good as a reward for doing/learning something new.
