...And Then I Would Fly by Damien Thompson

As a child in the 1980s, Damien lived an idyllic life as the only son to two highly creative parents. He idolized his larger-than-life father, the unemployed musician. His mother, the artist, painted the neighbor children’s portraits and sometimes worked two jobs to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.

When Damien’s mother asked for a divorce, his father initiated a long journey of vengeance with Damien at the center, weaponizing the boy against his own mother. Suddenly, nothing was sacred. As the structure of the family and his father’s mental health crumbled, Damien’s idyllic life became seedy and dangerous.

His father spiraled out of control and vandalized their house, made Damien steal all his baby pictures, and exposed him to violence, drugs, and dysfunction. Eventually, he brought a new eighteen-year-old girlfriend home, who gave birth to Damien’s little sister, Lily. Living in squalor, Damien struggled to emerge with Lily from their dysfunctional father’s grasp.

…And Then I Would Fly is a heartbreaking and lovable memoir masterfully told over several decades, from a chaotic childhood to becoming a father who is still trying to heal himself. Sometimes darkly funny and often gut-wrenching, it is a moving story of an optimistic spirit seeking to thrive against any odds, even when in danger from the people he loves the most.

A Perfect Mess (Hope Parish Novels Book 1) by Zoe Dawson

I know what you did last summer.

Aubree Walker, the perfect girl most likely to succeed, is sure there's only one person who knows what she did.

Booker Outlaw, one of the three Outlaw brothers--all identical, all gorgeous, all from the wrong side of the tracks, and all pure bad boys. He was always the unpredictable one, the one who would be brash enough to make it big self-publishing horror novels on the internet. He promised never to tell, but everyone knows you can never trust an Outlaw.

Then a year later, in the middle of the night, she receives a phone call at Tulane. Her aunt, who took her in after her mother's death, is in a coma under suspicious circumstances. Now she has to face that one person who knows all about what she did that summer--sexy Booker.

Returning to Hope Parish to be with her aunt, stirs up all those ugly memories.

But Booker has a secret of his own that could crush their fledgling relationship.

As the hot, sultry summer days move on, she finds that even a perfectly smart girl can lose her heart to a perfectly bad boy. What is she going to do when someone starts asking questions Aubree doesn't want to answer? She's knee deep into a terribly dangerous, wholly life changing, who-can-she-really-depend-on perfect mess.

Undead States of America by Randy Delp

Under the early afternoon sun that seemed too close, the air in Miami was oppressive.

Over the smell of trash and someone cooking something spicy nearby, the odor of too many people who hadn’t washed in too many days permeated the streets, leaving Chase Carnes hoping he’d have time for a shower before his flight. He stood outside a small, three-story brick building that served as the base of operations for Juan Escobar, one of the American cocaine industry’s heaviest hitters.

Glancing up at the grimy windows, he bent and tied his left shoe, making sure that the only weapon he’d take in with him, a two-foot strand of piano wire, was secure around his left ankle, before he straightened and walked purposefully inside.
