Burn Bright (Night Creatures Trilogy #1)
Author: Marianne de Pierres
Genre: YA Fantasy/Paranormal/Dystopian Romance
Description:
Into a world of wild secrets and deadly pleasures comes a girl whose innocence may be her greatest strength.
In Ixion music and party are our only beliefs. Darkness is our comfort. We have few rules but they are absolute . . .
Retra
doesn’t want to go to Ixion, the island of ever-night, ever-youth and
never-sleep. Retra is a Seal – sealed minds, sealed community. She
doesn’t crave parties and pleasure, experience and freedom.
But
her brother Joel left for Ixion two years ago, and Retra is determined
to find him. Braving the intense pain of her obedience strip to escape
the only home she’s ever known, Retra stows away on the barge that will
take her to her brother.
When she can’t find Joel, Retra finds
herself drawn deeper into the intoxicating world of Ixion. Come to me,
whispers a voice in her head. Who are the Ripers, the mysterious
guardians of Ixion? What are the Night Creatures Retra can see in the
shadows? And what happens to those who grow too old for Ixion?
Retra
will find that Ixion has its pleasures, but its secrets are deadly.
Will friendship, and the creation of an eternal bond with a Riper, be
enough to save her from the darkness?
Listen well, baby bats.
Burn bright, but do not stray from the paths. Remember, when you live in
a place of darkness you also live with creatures of the dark.
Angel Arias (Night Creature Trilogy #2)
Author: Marianne de Pierres
Genre: YA Fantasy/Paranormal/Dystopian Romance
Description:
Retra - now called Naif -
has escaped from Ixion, the island of ever-night. She doesn't know if
her friends on the island survived the battle between the Ripers and the
rebels. But she does know that she must return home, behind the sealed
walls of Grave, to find out why the Ripers have been seen there talking
to the councillors. What links the two worlds?
First she must
convince Ruzalia to help her. The fierce pirate captain saves those who
face terrible fates on Ixion, but that doesn't guarantee their
gratitude. Instead, she faces a revolt - and Naif is caught in the
middle.
Naif will need all her courage to survive. For Lenoir,
who wants to keep her safe, for her friends Suki and Rollo, if they
live, for Markes, who has secrets of his own, and for the new friends
she will make on this journey.
The fate of worlds depends on it.
Shine Light (Night Creatures Trilogy #3)
Author: Marianne de Pierres
Genre: YA Fantasy/Paranormal/Dystopian Romance

Ixion. The island of ever-night.
If
she had a choice, Naif wouldn’t go back. But her friends will die if
she doesn’t find a cure for the badges that are slowly killing them, and
her brother is there, fighting against the Ripers who hold everyone in
thrall. And Naif has knowledge that might save them all.
First
she must solve the mystery of Ixion’s eternal night. Then she must
convince everyone – rebels and revellers alike – to join her cause. And
all the while, she must fight the urge to go to Lenoir – her greatest
love, her mortal enemy.
The secrets of Ixion must be revealed. The evils must be stopped. A new dawn will come.
