 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.
