THE SWEETEST DARK
ABE, SHANA
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Lora Jones has always known that she’s different. On the outside, she appears to be an ordinary sixteen-yearold
girl. Yet Lora’s been keeping a heartful of secrets: She hears songs that no one else can hear, dreams vividly
of smoke and flight, and lives with a mysterious voice inside her that insists she’s far more than what she seems.
England, 1915. Raised in an orphanage in a rough corner of London, Lora quickly learns to hide her unique
abilities and avoid attention. Then, much to her surprise, she is selected as the new charity student at Iverson,
an elite boarding school on England’s southern coast. Iverson’s eerie, gothic castle is like nothing Lora has ever
seen. And the two boys she meets there will open her eyes and forever change her destiny. Jesse is the school’s
groundskeeper—a beautiful boy who recognizes Lora for who and what she truly is. Armand is a darkly
handsome and arrogant aristocrat who harbors a few closely guarded secrets of his own. Both hold the answers
to her past. One is the key to her future. And both will aim to win her heart. As danger descends upon Iverson,
Lora must harness the powers she’s only just begun to understand, or else lose everything she dearly loves.

With Charlie Swift convalescing from a gunshot wound, Gigi Goldman is in charge of running Swift
Investigations. Imagine her surprise when Heather-Anne, the personal trainer who ran off to Costa Rica
with Gigi's husband, shows up, wanting to hire them to find Les who has gone missing. Gigi's first instinct is to
say scram, but then she remembers that Les fathered her children and that Heather-Anne is a paying client. She
takes the case and soon finds Les holed up in Aspen, hiding from his girlfriend. He begs Gigi to take him back.
But then Heather-Anne's dead body turns up, and Gigi is named the prime suspect. Les disappears again and
Gigi and Charlie hunt for him, hoping he can clear Gigi's name. Detective Connor Montgomery is at odds with
Charlie and she must turn to Father Dan Allgood for help in solving their most difficult and personal case yet.
