Summary
In this profoundly unsettling reimagining of Aldous Huxley’s masterpiece, the "Brave New World" is not found in the hatcheries of the future, but in the living rooms of the present. Brave Mew Pack offers a searching vision of a world where the bonds of love are the ultimate tools of control—a society where dogs and cats are genetically manufactured, socially indoctrinated, and emotionally anesthetized to passively uphold a human order that demands their absolute devotion.
At the heart of this retelling is John the Mutt, a biological anomaly who possesses the one gift never intended for his kind: the ability to read. Raised on the "Savage" fringes of a Montana sanctuary and nurtured by a well-meaning librarian who sees him as a literary miracle, John finds himself caught between two worlds. One is a wild, predatory history he can never truly reclaim; the other is a civilized world of squeaky toys and park dates—a world that loves him for his "pure intentions" while surgically erasing his soul.

Summary
After the death of his boss, Duncan heads to Las Vegas to participate in a poker tournament hosted by the ambitious tycoon Gawain Ashford. Lost in the lights, he begins to discover exactly what he wants from life, until one fateful evening threatens to ruin it all.
The Targaryens are as powerful as they are infamous. During the Great Depression, Aegon Targaryen ordered the construction of the Hoover Dam. Now, their influence stretches across the Strip, branding most establishments with a sinister red dragon. Duncan's bad luck, or perhaps fate, puts him directly in the path of Aerion Targaryen, whose violent interest is dangerous and unwelcome.
Aerion's older brother, Daeron, is different. Charming, unpredictable, and disturbingly persistent, he might be Duncan's key to surviving the dragon family. He might also teach him what it means to want something more than survival. A shame, though, that the only thing consistent about Daeron is his level of intoxication.

Summary
Senior year—a time to focus on grades, plan for college, maybe party…and keep your little siblings from burning your school down too. Athena had never expected to start her last year at Olympia High with seven young gods she used to only see at home. Ares had never expected to start his junior year in his big sister’s shadow either. Unfortunately, neither can go against their father’s plans. So, they just have to accept that for the next school year, they are going to be seeing each other. A. Lot. Well, at least it is not all bad. The war siblings can probably stomach this, but it also might be a good thing that they literally cannot kill each other.
