    ~~

    They’ve been doing this for years. It’s almost crazy, how familiar it all is. And every time, their excuses get flimsier and flimsier.

    Beca still has a boyfriend, Chloe still has to graduate, and yet time and time again they find themselves tangled up together, naked in bed or stuffed into a bathroom stall or sneaking out of a party.

    And Beca still has a boyfriend, and Chloe knows it’s wrong, but she just can’t seem to stop.

    Summary

    She walked in. Tall, broad, aristocratic in bearing and nose. The angles of her face were so sharp they almost refracted light. No weapon aside from the devastating dismissiveness she could lay on you without blinking. I knew her. You’d think that would make me relax but—I knew her. The best thing about this city was that I knew no one and here she was, walking into my office like a ghost out of the grave of my former life.

    In 1930s Mercy of Kalr, Detective Breq takes on a case from a shadow from her past, the recently impoverished heiress Seivarden Vendaai.

    Summary

    She remembers… not much. Water, bound hands, a voice she might have heard before, hands on her that scared her.

    “I begged you for your strap, didn’t I,” she says, with looming horror.
