Book Description
The sequel to Ripley Jones's unforgettable YA thriller Missing Clarissa, The Other Lola is about what happens when the people you love the most are the people you can trust the least. In the months after Cam and Blair broke their small hometown’s legendary missing-girl story and catapulted to accidental fame, they vowed never to do it again. No more mysteries, no more podcasts, and no more sticking their heads where they don’t belong. Until Mattie Brosillard, a freshman at their high school, shows up on their doorstep, begging Cam and Blair for help. Mattie's sister Lola disappeared mysteriously five years ago. No trace of her was ever found. Now, she's back--but Mattie is convinced the girl who returned is an impostor. Nobody believes Mattie's wild story--not Mattie's brother, not Mattie's mother, and not even Cam and Blair. But something is definitely wrong in the Brosillard family. And Blair has her own reasons for wanting to know what really happened to Lola while she was gone. With Cam and Blair still struggling with the aftermath of their first mystery—and with new secrets swirling between them—the stakes are higher than ever in this can’t-miss sequel to Missing Clarissa.

WINNER OF THE JOHN CREASEY DEBUT DAGGER AWARD Nominated for the Edgar Award for best first novel An astonishing debut crime thriller about an unforgettable woman who combines the genius and ferocity of Lisbeth Salander with the ruthless ambition of Walter White The Crenshaw Six are a small but up-and-coming gang in South Central LA who have recently been drawn into an escalating war between rival drug cartels. To outsiders, the Crenshaw Six appear to be led by a man named Garcia . . . but what no one has figured out is that the gang's real leader (and secret weapon) is Garcia's girlfriend, a brilliant young woman named Lola. Lola has mastered playing the role of submissive girlfriend, and in the man's world she inhabits she is consistently underestimated. But in truth she is much, much smarter--and in many ways tougher and more ruthless--than any of the men around her, and as the gang is increasingly sucked into a world of high-stakes betrayal and brutal violence, her skills and leadership become their only hope of survival. Lola marks the debut of a hugely exciting new thriller writer, and of a singular, magnificent character unlike anyone else in fiction.

Group Living and Other Recipes
Author: Lola Milholland
Publisher: Spiegel & Grau
ISBN: 9781954118577
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
For readers of Blood, Bones & Butter and Home Cooking comes a spirited and charming exploration of group living that encourages readers to reconsider the meaning of family and home. Lola Milholland grew up in the nineties, the child of iconoclastic hippies. Her mom--energetic and intense at work and at play, whether at her job marketing for an agricultural co-op or paddling down a river, fat spliff in hand--had spent her life revolting against the strictures of her American and Filipino upbringing. Her dad, a child of the eastern Oregon desert, was a jovial documentary filmmaker and historian who loved to collect ephemera. Both threw open the doors of the Holman House, their rambling home in Portland, Oregon, to long-term visitors and unusual guests in need of a place to stay. Years later, after college and after her parents' separation, Milholland returned home. There, she joined her brother and his housemates--an eccentric group of stop-motion animators and accomplished cooks--in choosing to further the experiment of communal living into a new generation. Group Living and Other Recipes tells the story of the residents of the Holman House--of transcendent meals and ecstatic parties, of colorful characters coming together in moments of deep tenderness and inevitable irritation, of a shared life that is appealing, humorous, confounding, and, just maybe, utopian--with a wider exploration of group living as a way of life. From spending time at her aunt and uncle's intentional community in Washington State to finding her footing as a student in Japan in the kitchen with her host family to mushroom hunting in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, Milholland offers an expansive and vibrant reevaluation of the structures at the very center of our lives. Thoughtful, quirky, candid, and wise, Group Living and Other Recipes provides a convincing case that "now is always the right time to reimagine home and family"--and introduces a gifted memoirist and food writer in the tradition of Laurie Colwin, Ruth Reichl, Gabrielle Hamilton, and M.F.K. Fisher.

I BELONG TO FATE. The Supernatural Underworld has called to me for longer than I can remember, sending visions as it reaches for me. Or at least, that's what I thought was happening. In reality, I somehow managed to tap into the stream of fate and have been stealing bits and pieces from it throughout my life. But every time I took from fate, it took from me as well. Over time, it captured my soul. Now it wants my mind and body, too. The only ones who can protect me are the hellhounds, but their protection doesn't come cheap. I have to search the future to find a mate for Serberus, their king. He'll be lost to the fire within him if I don't find his fated match. The problem is, he doesn't have one.
