One of the fine supporting cast of the dark-fantasy mystery series the Dresden Files here gets his moment
in the spotlight. When his sister Lara, ruler of the White Court clan, proposes a job for Thomas Raith,
series star Harry Dresden’s vampire half-brother, he can’t refuse because the messenger is Thomas’ former
victim and true love, Justine, and the villain involved is a new client of Harry’s. Thomas has to work
without Harry noticing him, which is difficult, given how sensitive Harry’s gotten. Practiced rogue
Thomas manages somehow in this satisfying novella.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Bear on winning a Theodore Sturgeon Award, honoring the best short fiction published in the US, for her short story “Tideline” (originally published in Asimov’s, June 2007).
“The second book in Adina’s series, set in a posh San Francisco boarding school, allows readers to get to know the characters better. The plot is appropriate for its intended audience and never gets too preachy. Gillian’s first-person point of view keeps the storyline from being too much like the first book, It’s All About Us, and the mystery will pique the reader’s interest.”
Summary: Gillian Chang must work twice as hard in school to please her over-achieving Asian family. She balances aptitude in her classes with her love for God and her friends. She’s very attracted to fellow student Lucas Hayes and is thrilled when they begin a relationship. Things aren’t as they seem on the surface, though — can Gillian’s friends convince her that something isn’t right?
