    Summary

    For years, Schroeder had scraped by in the shadows of the city, dodging the ghosts of the golden boy he used to be. The one who left home with the world at his feet, only to realize the world didn’t care. A cab ride gone wrong lands him face-to-face with Lucy Van Pelt, an old friend he hasn’t seen in years. She’s different now—polished, refined, just recently moved to New York with her husband-to-be —but some things never change. She’s still pushy, prying into his life like she has a right to. And against his better judgment, he lets her.

    Summary

    “From the very beginning; from when each of the twenty four tributes were selected,” Sakusa starts. "I had a feeling that this year's games would operate differently than last."

    “How so?” Tendou questions.

    "They had strength. Every single one of them was cruel. Ruthless and driven to victory. There were a lot more alliances, so much tension and heartbreak. Sadness and retaliation for the impending death they knew was inevitable.”

    “And what are your thoughts on this years winner?”

    “Well deserved,” he says. “They've made it abundantly clear that victory was their sole destination, and they unquestionably earned it.”

     

    Each year, one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts are chosen to participate in a nationally televised event known as the Hunger Games. Of the twenty-four competitors, only one may stand as victorious, while the other twenty-three are eliminated in the process of trying to win. Or in other words; of trying to survive. It was a fight to the death in order to win. Kill, or be killed. And this year, the participants are ruthless, vengeful and determined to survive. It was nothing but a bloody struggle for victory.

    Summary

    19 year-old dropout and couch-surfer Mitsuba is finally offered to become a bandmate in his boyfriend's garage band, but only on the condition that aimless college sophomore and current groupie Minamoto Kou joins too. What Kou agreed to as a favor out of pity for some guy in a seemingly loveless relationship ends up steering the band and its members into completely unexpected directions.

    "...Can I kiss you?"

    Charlotte offered sheepishly, averting her eyes to her hand in Amelia's. Amelia followed her gaze, a smile forming on her face.

    "Why don't you?"
