Book Description
Sometimes there's a thin line between love and hate. Or at least that's one theory for DI Zoe Dolan, tracking the Creeper—a stalker who's been breaking into women's homes and attacking them. But the Creeper's violence is escalating and there's no pattern, no clue as to how he's getting in, and no clue as to who's next.Until Jane Webster gets a call to the helpline where she volunteers. It's meant to be a confidential service and Jane is torn—it could be a hoaxer, but the soft voice at the end of the line has the ring of truth about it. He says he loves these women—but it's a love that ends in blood.When Jane tells the police, it should be the lead that Zoe needs—but it only pulls her further into a case that is already taking her dangerously close to the past she's never fully escaped. For Jane, Zoe and all the other young women of the city, suddenly nowhere is safe. Particularly their own bedroom at the dead of night...

The Poetry of Place
Author: Louisa Mackenzie
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442642394
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
The sixteenth century in France was marked by religious warfare and shifting political and physical landscapes. Between 1549 and 1584, however, the Pléiade poets, including Pierre de Ronsard, Joachim Du Bellay, Rémy Belleau, and Antoine de Baïf, produced some of the most abiding and irenic depictions of rural French landscapes ever written. In The Poetry of Place, Louisa Mackenzie reveals and analyzes the cultural history of French paysage through her study of lyric poetry and its connections with landscape painting, cartography, and land use history. In the face of destructive environmental change, lyric poets in Renaissance France often wrote about idealized physical spaces, reclaiming the altered landscape to counteract the violence and loss of the period and creating in the process what Mackenzie, following David Harvey, terms 'spaces of hope.' This unique alliance of French Renaissance studies with cultural geography and eco-criticism demonstrates that sixteenth-century poetry created a powerful sense of place which continues to inform national and regional sentiment today.

Naiya is a wereleopard. Except she doesn’t know how that’s even possible, considering her entire breadth of knowledge of such things comes from pop culture and classic horror movies. So when her wealthy adoptive parents—in a flash of frustrating cluelessness—drop her into rehab just so she can get picked up by some shadow organization, Naiya can’t help but feel like everything she thought she knew about herself is wrong. Because these people push her to the limits of her capabilities and beyond without even blinking, and she learns she’s not the only thing that goes bump in the night. If it weren’t for her fellow captives, Val and Andy, Naiya might go entirely mad with the whole ordeal. And once she finally escapes, she’ll never be caged again.
