London Under: The Secret History Beneath the Streets by Peter Ackroyd @VPL | WorldCat
Take a walk under the streets of London in this atmospheric, imaginative study that will show you everything from remnants of Roman and Victorian times to modern gag hideouts. Beneath the streets of this 2000-year-old city, in the warm, dark underground, are scenes that predate history and will take you back in time.

The Originals (TV Series) Season 1 @VPL | WorldCat
A spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals follows the ancient, original family of vampire siblings living in modern New Orleans. As close and loyal as they are, hundreds of years of secrets will be a strain on any relationship - add territorial witches and restless werewolves to mix and we've got quite the show. This fast-paced drama is an exciting, relatively light glimpse into ancient creatures living in the unique mix of old and new, spiritual and sensational that can only be found on the vibrant streets of New Orleans.
Intrigue, betrayal and a tangled web of complex lies make this vampire family similar to the darker side of the de Clermont family.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte @VPL | WorldCat
This atmospheric classic is a brooding romance set in the 18th century. Our main character, Catherine, must choose between Heathcliff and Edgar--the first a passionate, tortured man and the second a kind, well-bred gentleman. This well-written, compelling story uses detail to create a strong sense of place as the melancholy story unfolds on the bleak Yorkshire moors.
Similar to the All Souls Trilogy, this book will wrap you up and take you on a journey as you become immersed in every page.
