Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair. . . .
Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy
endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden
woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell.
Peter
is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares
and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of
Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily.
Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him.
When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she
must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an
uncertain future with Peter.
With enemies threatening to tear
them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy
Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads
Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside
even the most loyal and loving heart.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Peaches comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.-book description

The rich stew of the author's creations—SingleEarth, vampires,
shapeshifters, Tristes, the Bruja Guilds—are at full boil here in the
story of two 20-ish young women trying to out run their very different
pasts, and figure out where they fit in and who they might become. Each
has landed in a more "normal" place, and each wonders if, like a tattoo
that can't be covered up, they can ever really fit into "normal."-book description |

At the end of Siren’s Storm, the Sirens were defeated, and now the town of Walfang is once again a peaceful beach community.
Or is it? Gretchen and Will are still haunted by the memories of the
night the Sirens were destroyed—Gretchen because she can’t remember what
happened and Will because he doesn’t know how to tell Gretchen what he
saw. He doesn’t even understand what he saw, but he does know now that
Gretchen is more than what she seems, more than a human girl. And at the
same time, he is more in love with her than ever.
Gretchen knows there’s something wrong, too. She feels like an alien
in her own body, but she doesn’t know why. And she feels a presence
stalking her at every turn. Have the Sirens returned to Walfang? Or has
some other force come to claim her?

They are groupies, Kit!” I snarled. “They are
vampire groupies. They are there because they want to have sex with
vampires! They are not how all humans behave.”
“Oh,” Kit said. “Oh, right.”
He was beginning to go a bit red.
“Here is a lesson about how humans behave,” I said. “When a guy
assumes a girl wants to have sex with him on the second occasion they
meet, we humans generally regard him as an enormous jerk! In fact, that
goes for any guy assuming a girl wants to have sex before she says,
‘Yes, sex sounds terrific!’
