Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA Frances de Pontes Peebles’s The Air You Breathe is this week's starred fiction selection. "A haunting, poetic novel about friendship, love, and longing, tinged with golden age glamour. A perfect fit for any general fiction collection. [See Prepub Alert, 2/26/18.]" In nonfiction, Michael T. Gengler's "love and respect for his community come through in [the] well-researched" We Can Do It: A Community Takes on the Challenge of School Desegregation. "For readers of books on education, social or oral history, or the South, as well as those who enjoyed J. Anthony Lukas’s Common Ground: A Turbulent Decade in the Lives of Three American Families." And in e-originals, Donna Grant's Dark Alpha’s Hunger "inject[s] new life into the ["Reapers" paranormal romance series.] Dynamic erotic interplay as well as character-driven suspense make this a summer sizzler; highly recommended."
