AUTUMN BONES
CAREY, JACQUELINE
Fathered by an incubus, raised by a mortal mother, and liaison to the Pemkowet Police Department,
Daisy Johanssen pulled the community together after a summer tragedy befell the resort town she calls
home. Things are back to normal—as normal as it gets for a town famous for its supernatural tourism,
and presided over by the reclusive Norse goddess Hel. Not only has Daisy now gained respect as Hel’s
enforcer, she’s dating Sinclair Palmer, a nice, seemingly normal human guy. Not too shabby for the
daughter of a demon. Unfortunately, Sinclair has a secret. And it’s a big one. He’s descended from Obeah
sorcerers and they want him back. If he doesn’t return to Jamaica to take up his rightful role in the family,
they’ll unleash spirit magic that could have dire consequences for the town. It’s Daisy’s job to stop it, and
she’s going to need a lot of help. But time is running out, the dead are growing restless, and one mistake
could cost Daisy everything…

BACK TO BACK
FRANCK, JULIA
Back to Back begins in 1954, and centers around a single family living in Berlin in the socialist East. The
mother, Käthe, is a sculptor of Jewish heritage, who has been leveraging her party connections in order to
get more important and significant commissions. Devoted entirely to becoming a success in the socialist
state, she is a cruel and completely unaffectionate mother, putting the party above her children, who she
treats as if they were adults - there is no bourgeois mollycoddling in her household. Thomas and Ella's
father emigrated to West Germany after World War II, and they deeply long to see him again and dream
of a life where they could be allowed to have the kind of childhood that other children enjoy. But Käthe's
hard-nosed brutality - a reflection of the materialistic, unsentimental state in which she lives - means
Thomas and Ella are unable to live the lives they want to - instead of his dream of becoming a writer,
Thomas is forced to study geology, and do hard labor at a quarry as the practical part of his education.
And Ella, meanwhile, is becoming increasingly introverted and strange - not least because the Stasi
lodger the government has billetted in their home is beginning to abuse her...
