    Summary

    Almost two years after the arrest of Kira, Near has finally succeeded L, but his reign hasn't gone unchallenged. Faced with an unsolvable string of murders threatening both his position and his life, the third L must seek help from an unlikely (and unlikable) source: his imprisoned predecessor, Light Yagami.

    Summary

    2003 was the year of the mosquito. You couldn’t leave a cup of water out for a day. Black clouds threatened the windows, stalked the hallways. In a week, Mello had seen more elbows, knees, shoulder, and stomach, than he ever had in his life.

    Italy. A “place of rest.” A “holiday.”

    “Stop scratching.”

    “Sorry,” said Matt.

    “Stop it. You’re bleeding.”

    Life swelled, itched. The summer of great torment.

    Summary

    When Matt swung open the door to his apartment, Mello was standing in the middle of the living room, wearing a hood with a crown of black feathers that engulfed his bone-white face like the plumage of a carrion-bird. 

     

    ‘Oh, great,’ Matt said, grinning. ‘You broke in.’


    Matt saves a horse and learns the meaning of 'ride or die'.

    Summary

    After you guys broke up, there was a month or two where you actually thought Matt might kill himself over you. Which yeah, fucking arrogant—but what a thing.

    If Matt did that you’d never be able to date again. You’d tell every one of your lays about your dead ex-boyfriend and close your heart off fucking forever. Throw it into the East River to join the underwater subway lines. Fish food.

    Summary

    It occurred to me that Mello had issues – an inferiority complex, a control thing, something psychosomatic. I hoped, and would continue to hope for a few wild months in 2008, that he and I were going to do despicable things together and then go out in a blaze of glory. I don’t know why I wanted that. It was crazy to want it; I don’t want it anymore.
