Red
Glove (The Curse Workers): Holly Black
Curses and cons. Magic and the mob. In Cassel Sharpe's
world, they go together. Cassel always thought he was an
ordinary guy, until he realized his memories were being
manipulated by his brothers. Now he knows the truth -
he's the most powerful curse worker around. A touch of
his hand can transform anything - or anyone - into
something else. After rescuing his brothers from
Zacharov's retribution and finding out that Lila will
never be his, Cassel is trying to reestablish some kind
of normalcy in his life. That was never going to be easy
for someone from a worker family tied to one of the big
crime families, and a mother whose cons get more
reckless by the day. But Cassel is also coming to terms
with what it means to be a transformation worker and
figuring out how to have friends.

The
Drowning God: James Kendley
To uncover modern Japan's darkest, deadliest secret, one
man must face a living nightmare from his childhood.
Few villagers are happy when Detective Tohru Takuda
returns to his hometown to investigate a string of
suspicious disappearances. Even the local police chief
tries to shut him out from the case. For behind the
conspiracy lurks a monstrous living relic of Japan's
pagan history: the Kappa. Protected long ago by a
horrible pact with local farmers - and now by coldly
calculating corporate interests - the Kappa drains the
valley's lifeblood, one villager at a time. As the body
count rises, Takuda must try to end the Drowning God's
centuries-long reign of terror, and failure means death
- or worse.

Fear
City (Repairman Jack): F. Paul Wilson
Rage, terror, and redemption: these are the stones upon
which F. Paul Wilson builds the concluding chapter of
Repairman Jack: The Early Years, the prequel trilogy
focusing on the formative years of Wilson's globally
popular supernatural troubleshooter.
The strands of Jack's life, established in the first two
books, Cold City and Dark City, are now woven into a
complete pattern. Centered around an obscure group of
malcontents intent on creating a terrible explosion in
New York City in 1993, Fear City shows the final stages
of young Jack becoming Repairman Jack. It is a dark and
terrible story, full of plots and needless mayhem, with
secret agents, a freelance torturer, a secret society as
old as human history, love, death, and a very bleak
triumph. Jack threads his way through this intricate
maze, as people he loves are stripped away from him in a
way that presages the later epic series of novels.
