Description
STOLEN NIGHTS by Rebecca Maizel
A Vampire Queen Novel
A new year is beginning at Wickham Boarding School. A new chance at life, at reversing the evil in my past. But nothing is ever as simple it seems...
Last year, the love of my life died performing a ritual to fulfill my one wish and make me human. And now I've performed the same ritual for my friend Vicken – and survived. Why am I here, back safe on Wickham campus?
The strong magic I used in the ritual did more than just make Vicken human. It drew someone to Lover's Bay who does not belong here. She wants the ritual. Then she wants me dead. And she will take down any and everyone in my life to get what she wants.
As if that weren't enough, the ritual has also summoned the anger of the Aeris, the four elements and most fundamental powers on earth. They have a surprise and an unbearable punishment for me – like stepping into the sun for the first time, only to be put into a cage. And now I have to make an impossible choice – between love or life, yearning or having, present or past…
Advance Praise
Ann Leary's THE GOOD HOUSE creates a one-of-a-kind character in Hildy Good, and gives us a raw, first-person glimpse into the mind of a middle-aged, outspoken wry New England realtor so real she might be someone you know...yet who also is hiding her alcoholism from her family, her town, and herself. By the end you'll be flipping pages, trying desperately to piece together what happened as much as the narrator is doing herself." - Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of House Rules and Sing You Home
"Leary's genius is to give us a true original: Hildy, a not-so-recovering alcoholic/realtor who crashlands among a colorful cast of New England neighbors, but Leary also says a great deal about the houses we choose to live, the people we're compelled to love, and the addictions we don't want to give up. So alive, I swear the pages of this wickedly funny and moving novel are breathing."—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You
“I opened THE GOOD HOUSE and was instantly sucked in; I read the whole thing
in one sitting and was sorry when it ended. The story is atmospheric, funny,
poignant, gritty, and romantic, and Hildy Good is refreshingly candid and
lovably flawed.”—Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man
“Hildy is an original, irresistibly likable and thoroughly untrustworthy
… a genuinely funny novel about alcoholism.”—Kirkus, starred
review
“Leary’s powerfully perceptive and smartly nuanced portrait of the perils of alcoholism is enhanced by her spot-on depiction of staid New England village life and the redemption to be found in traditions and community.”—Booklist
