Vampire detective Serena Holmes works alone—by choice and necessity. Brilliant, unyielding, and haunted by centuries of secrets, she’s the last person who wants a partner. But when the supernatural world’s balance is threatened, the council assigns her Rhys Watson, a stubborn, rule-bound werewolf with a knack for getting under her skin. When a string of supernatural murders points to Moriarty, a rogue network of creatures defying the laws of their world, Serena’s darkest secrets resurface—along with a dangerous figure from her past.

Drawing on first-person interviews, unpublished memoirs, newspaper accounts, contemporary studies, government documents, and recent scholarship, Sin, Sex & Subversion argues that "deviant" sexuality was subversive, and that unique New York "outsiders" of the 1950s set the stage for the following decades and the world we know today. In each chapter, author David Rosen examines a critical moral issue through an in-depth profile of figures such as Liberace, Samuel Roth, Bettie Page, the Rosenbergs, and others.

I wasn’t meant to see the advert for a convenient wife.

The thrilling final installment of the Hades Trials!

There are very few modern hobbies that can honestly claim they have lived three distinct lives. Most begin as a craze, settle into a niche, and then either fade or become quietly institutional. The Pokémon Trading Card Game did something stranger and more enduring. It began as a children’s pastime, became a cultural flashpoint that adults argued about in staff rooms and school assemblies, then returned decades later as a booming adult obsession with its own economy, celebrities, and mythology. That alone would make it worth studying.

James Barry was one of the most outstanding doctors of the 19th century – a brilliant surgeon, a tireless campaigner for medical reform, and a compassionate Inspector-General of the Army. But throughout a long and distinguished career an air of secrecy, even of scandal, always clung to Barry. The shrill voice, the diminutive build, the almost ostentatious humanity – all struck a discordant note in the stiff, conventional world of the officers’ mess. Only after the doctor’s death in 1865 did the incredible truth come to light: Dr. James Barry was a woman.

Darcey begs for him to make a promise, a promise that he will come back home to her, and in return, she promises to fulfil her dreams whilst he is away. But that's the thing about promises. They're made to be broken.

Sounds like a tacky wall-art quote to me. But what do I know? I don’t have a family. Not anymore. And I definitely don’t know loyalty. Not since my brothers collectively decided to shut me out of their lives... Not since my mother lied to me and kept a devastating secret... Not since my father sold our company out from under me to a smug jerk with a chip on his shoulder.
