"Blind the Eyes: Enter the City of Nightmares (Threads of Dreams, 1)"

A neurospicy misfit unravels monster-infested, post-eco-apocalypse Vancouver in this lush and labyrinthine, more-blood-than-kissing, gothic-dystopian coming-of-rage YA+ Dark Fantasy for fans of Brenna Yovanoff, Laini Taylor, V.E. Schwab, and Melissa Marr. First in a completed trilogy by a Best Canadian Fantasy & Science Fiction and Best New Weird Horror-winning author. When the Mara descend, they devour everything: hope, desire, the ability to feel...the will to defy. Haunted outcast Cole's earliest memories are of learning to wield isolation as a shield, repress emotions, surrender doubts, and, above all, obey without question. But all the training in Refuge wasn't enough to save the spectral trickster who torments her every waking moment—and it won't be enough to save Cole when her mysterious and macabre obsession with the Mara-taken is exposed. A dangerously distracting young rebel offers a glittering chance at escape—but the dark truth behind her rule-bound homeland haunts her every step into the shadows beneath the drowned city. Can she untangle generations of lies, take back her power, and stop the dying before the Nightmares eat her alive? Love complex and conflicted "unlikeable" girls clawing their way to the top, tortured villains and heroes alike scrabbling for survival, and eerily lovely visions of decaying glamour with darkness oozing around the tattered edges? This genre-bending deep-dark gothic-dystopian fantasy dives into the nightmare-ridden depths and comes up fighting. Upper YA/NA crossover recommended for ages 14+.
