She left her spoiled, rich girl life to find peace at River's Edge, a safe haven for wayward immortals. There, she learned to embrace River's Edge, despite some drama involving the sexy Reyn, who she wants but won't allow herself to have. But just as she's getting comfortable, her family's ties to dark magick force her to leave.
She falls back into her old, hard partying ways, but will her decision lead her into the hands of a dark immortal? Or will it be her first step to embracing the darkness within her?
Title: All These Things I've Done
Author: Gabrielle Zevin
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 368 pages (September 6th 2011)
Preorder here: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, The Book Depository
Synopsis: In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidentally poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.
Loved Immortal Beloved and I've been dying to get my hands on Darkness Falls since. I seriously can't wait for it. Great writing, characters and story. What can I say, I'm hooked! Then All These Things I've Done, I have it here to read and review. I love the sound of it, and I have plans to read it soon. Anyone else looking forward to either of these titles?
