Summary
The sad man doesn’t always need flowers for the dead, thankfully. Sometimes he says it’s a gift for a woman or a kid. He always talks about the flowers’ recipients as if he is reading from a report, his tone almost detached, but Joe can distinguish the lines of emotion here and there, like delicate little blooms growing between wild bushes.
“Widower, late sixties. Loves tea and detective novels. No children or pets.”
Chrysanthemums, gladiolus, and forget-me-nots.
“Teenage boy. No siblings but many cousins. Likes football and a German rock band.”
Daisies, columbines, and snapdragons.
Sometimes the sad man doesn’t show up for a couple of months, and Joe begins to wonder if perhaps he has imagined him after all.
Joe owns a flower shop where he makes the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements. He takes real pride in his work.
Unfortunately, he cannot say the same about his non-existent romantic life. Joe wonders if that’s the reason why he has been paying too much attention to his new client, a beautiful man with big eyes and a sad face.

Summary
Andy shakes her head, trying to get him steady enough to make any kind of sense. “Book, what…fuck…what happened?!” Her confusion dies and worry sets in deep when Booker sways, blood seeping in rivulets down his chin and fingers. “Jesus, you need to go to a fucking hospital. Just let me get my—”
He shakes his head again, even more frantic now, and Andy can barely breathe when Booker barks out a broken, “She took the f-fucking boys, Andy!”
Six months after coming to terms with their feelings for one another, Andy finds herself thrown headfirst into the reality Booker has been living when his wife discovers their secret and disappears with the boys.
This time, she can't just sit on the sidelines.

Summary
Quynh couldn’t think of why anybody would want the only other human shaped and immortal part of their soul that a merciless- benevolent universe had trapped them with to love them of all things.
Unbreakable love between true soulmates just seemed like a particular kind of curse that entirely consisted of a world wide and never ending blood and sex soaked rampage against the same kind of innocents over the las- entire five hundred year life span that they had spent together.
Andromache did those things to Quynh as well no matter how much she wordlessly screamed for any kind of mercy inside of her shell of a body that was usually politely paralyzed by the thing in her brain that made her smile and seductively tilt her head as coyly as she could when Andromache reached out for her and carelessly started to shove Quynh’s jeans down around her violently trembling knees and please, please don’t do this to me, Andromache, I’ll do anything else that you want, just please don’t-
Things felt like they had to change soon.
It would feel better then.
Right?
Please?

Summary

(There's a whole lot more to this, but I just didn't want to give away too much. Also don't have to read Behold first but it gives the story more clarity and depth.)

Summary
In December of 1812, near the border of what would one day become Lithuania and Belarus, a soldier of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grande Armée was hanged for desertion. There's just one small problem: it should have never happened.
What was the chain of events that led to that execution? And what happened after? Did it have something to do with the powerful men who rode with Napoleon, the ones whose decisions determined life or death for Sébastien Le Livre and countless others?
This is a story of The Old Guard from the point of view of one of those men, a story about a forger-turned-infantry sergeant and the bravest of the brave.

Summary
Nile finally boarded the ferry to the island of Ko Chang. She had two bags at her feet, obnoxiously reflective sunglasses covering half her face, and her hair wrapped up in a silk bandanna. She was ready to relax.
Except her mind refused.
The whole immortal but dead to the world while people hunt us thing apparently took longer than eight months, one week, and three days to process, who knew?
