Praise for NEVER-CONTENTED THINGS
“Sarah Porter is a genius. Her language is lush and dangerous, and her books burn with the beautiful, ferocious intensity of a bonfire in the darkest night. Read Never-Contented Things with the lights on. Then read it again.” ―Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Charlotte
“Sarah Porter’s Never-Contented Things creates a creepy new world like none I’ve seen before. Eerie, edgy, and filled with mystery, Porter takes us to the depths of the magical and psychological.” ―Danielle Paige, New York Timesbestselling author of Dorothy Must Die
Praise for WHEN I CAST YOUR SHADOW
“You’ll never think of your nightmares the same way again. Darkly seductive. Sarah Porter’s writing glitters and her storytelling stuns in this twisted tale of siblings, love, and death.” —Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of CARAVAL
“Sarah Porter’s darkly imaginative WHEN I CAST YOUR SHADOW intrigues from the start. Tragic and engrossing, filled with nightmarish dreamscapes and menacing villains, it also treads the tender terrain of family, and the strange and sometimes dysfunctional ties between siblings. Highly recommended!” —Kendare Blake, New York Timesbestselling author of THREE DARK CROWNS
Seductive. Cruel. Bored.
Be wary of…
Prince and his fairy courtiers are staggeringly beautiful, unrelentingly cruel, and exhausted by the tedium of the centuries ― until they meet foster-siblings Josh and Ksenia. Drawn in by their vivid emotions, undying love for each other, and passion for life, Prince will stop at nothing to possess them.
First seduced and then entrapped by the fairies, Josh and Ksenia learn that the fairies' otherworldly gifts come at a terrible price ― and they must risk everything in order to reclaim their freedom.

NEVER-CONTENTED
THINGS BY SARAH PORTER EXCERPT
Mitch and Emma
had said, to our faces, that our relationship had an unhealthy
intensity. That it was compensatory,a punch in the teeth to all we’d
lost. And they loved Josh, had even started the process of adopting him.
Legally, he was too young to leave the system. If they knew we were hoping to
live together as soon as we could figure out some way to do it, they’d do
anything to stop us. Maybe even forbid me from visiting. Josh wouldn’t turn
eighteen for two whole years. Neither of us was willing to face that long
without the other.
That’s why, even
drunk, Josh was getting restless. Twitchy with a conversation that kept
reminding us of all the ways we could blast apart. If you let yourself feel how
empty the sky is, you know you’re always falling into an enormous hole. An
oubliette, I think is the right word: a place for things meant to be forgotten.
Even starlight forgets the brutal fusion it came from by the time it reaches
the Earth, because the sky is just that fathomless.
“Kezzer,” Josh
said, with an odd waver in his step, “let’s go see if there’s anybody at the
gorge.”
It was edging
toward midnight and our flask was almost empty. I said okay.
We swung by
Carly’s Pizza first—it was the worst pizza in town, with strange gummy cheese,
but it was also close by and open—and bought slices.
“You and your
sister partying hard tonight?” the college boy at the counter asked me.
Sandy-haired and smug and too dumb to deserve the education he was getting, or
at least that’s what I assumed—though at the same time I knew it was my own
vile mood talking, and he might not deserve my contempt at all. Even so, I
wasn’t about to reply with more than a snort.
But Josh
grinned, even though the joke was getting old—that strangers can never look at
us without saying you and your sister to me, or you and your
brother to Josh. Josh’s glitter eyeliner and long hair layered in three
colors are enough to make him a girl to them, or my bowler hat and straight
body are enough to make me a boy. Either way, it seems people take us for
necessarily two of the same, and most often we play along.
At least they
always understand at a glance that we’re family and not just friends, even
though we don’t look alike so much. That, I appreciate.
“Raging,” Josh
said, and draped his torso sideways over a stool with such a blast of sex
appeal that the boy gawked. He looked to me like the type who’d be horrified if
he realized he was ogling another guy. “What time are you off, anyway?”
Not that we’d
ever show, but the counter boy started scribbling down an address on the edge
of a paper plate, trying to sell us on meeting him at a party in an hour. We
got free sodas out of it and Josh doubled up laughing as soon as we were
through the door.
