[Series Synopses] Dreamer #1: Call Down the Hawk

The dreamers walk among us . . . and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming – they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives – they will sleep forever if their dreamers die.

And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all.

Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality.

Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it.

Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer . . . and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed. . . .

Goodreads Synopsis

The Truly Devious case — an unsolved kidnapping and triple murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936 — has consumed Stevie for years. It’s the very reason she came to the academy. But then her classmate was murdered, and her parents quickly pull her out of school. For her safety, they say. She must move past this obsession with crime.

Stevie’s willing to do anything to get back to Ellingham, be back with her friends, and solve the Truly Devious case. Even if it means making a deal with the despicable Senator Edward King. And when Stevie finally returns, she also returns to David: the guy she kissed, and the guy who lied about his identity — Edward King’s son.

But larger issues are at play. Where did the murderer hide? What’s the meaning of the riddle Albert Ellingham left behind? And what, exactly, is at stake in the Truly Devious affair? The Ellingham case isn’t just a piece of history — it’s a live wire into the present.

[Series Synopses] Truly Devious #1: Truly Devious

Friends, this one took forever to compile because there is just so much going on with this book. Clues, red herrings, still-unexplained weird happenings … I cut this post down as much as I could, hopefully preserving not just the broad strokes but also key details (as well as some that I just liked and may want to reference for another project). 

With the final book coming out next month, though, I knew I needed to get this done pronto. Hopefully some of you will find it helpful!

[Series Synopses] The Folk of the Air #1: The Cruel Prince & #1.5: The Lost Sisters

I’ve known for months that I wanted to create this set of posts, since one of my reading goals for this year is to finish off all the book series I’ve started — and in so many cases it’s been a long while and I don’t remember the characters or plot. Based on all the TCP rereads I saw leading up to the release of The Wicked King, a lot of people are in the same boat too! (I know many people have already finished rereading TCP, and read TWK as well, but since The Queen of Nothing doesn’t come out until next year these posts will hopefully still be helpful.)

And so you may have noticed The Cruel Prince hanging out on my Currently Reading shelf since January as I slowly reread and took notes. (I’ve also included The Lost Sisters in this post since it covers the same time period and events as The Cruel Prince.) I hadn’t accounted for the sheer amount of detail I wanted to record, and it took a while to figure out how exactly I wanted to format it all. While I still don’t have it completely figured out — I’m definitely open to feedback and suggestions — I’m more or less happy with how this post turned out … and here it finally is!
