Summary
The customer standing in front of him is quite possibly the most beautiful man Remus has ever seen. Like, he looks like a model or something. He has long, black hair, flattened by water, and just the slightest amount of scruff on his face, and…
And a baby strapped to his chest.
Okay.

Summary
On Christmas Day 2015, Simon Snow didn't walk out of the White Chapel alive.
But someone else did - The Insidious Humdrum. He's not really sure what happened, but he knows that whatever it was has changed him from being the greatest threat the World of Mages has ever known to... something else.
Now the Mage is on the lam, Baz is on his aunt's sofa, and the Humdrum is trying to get by on his own in the big city.

Summary
Five years after the summer Alberto Scorfano met his two best friends, he’s proud to say he’s already well-versed in how to human. Sailing a boat? Check. Handling harbour market sales? Check. Using his sea monster form to help Signor Marcovaldo collect the best barnacles? Check. Other knowledge has eluded him, though—for example, the appropriate name for the way his heart races every time Luca calls him “caro”.
When June of 1968 arrives to Porto Rosso, and Giulia and Luca return from Geneva with troublesome news, Alberto wishes things would stay as they were in 1963. But as the Underdogs work together to help Giulia avoid the rigid expectations placed on her by her mother, and life in Porto Rosso gets turned upside down once more, he can't help wondering whether sometimes changes might be the start of something better.

Summary
Luca has feelings, and he has the pictures to prove it.
The photo of Alberto on the beach, of him fixing a motorboat, of his bright smile as he climbs onto Massimo’s back, of his eyes as they’re focused on the sea ahead, watching for kids as a lifeguard, and so many more. Even from years long past.
Sharpie drawings on the arms of two boys, Alberto smiling as he stands in the rain, pictures of the trio where Luca catches himself looking at Alberto too often.
So maybe there's always been something.
----
In which Luca finally catches feelings after years of Alberto's pining. There has been growth and chaos in the past seven years, but when 19-year old Luca comes home from school after studying photography, he will finally have a summer that will never end.
However, as an unnerving, familiar distance grows between two best friends, Luca's photos take the role of filling the void of the best friend- and love- that he's missing.

Summary
"It wasn’t that he didn’t love Pitch Manor. He did. He loved it terribly, viciously, horribly, with a wriggling possessiveness deep down in his belly. He was a Pitch, and the Manor was his. He was a Pitch, and he was the Manor’s."
**
Baz is twenty-three and weighed down by the responsibility of fixing up Pitch Manor. He's rattling around in a large house in the country with only a dog and a mean housekeeper for company. Simon is chasing down his family, starting in Watford. He has only his motorcycle, his name, and the blanket he was left with as a baby. And the answers to his life questions may reside in the crumbling manor at the edge of the New Forest.
