The Arrivals

By Melissa Marr
The Arrivals by Melissa Marr digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Arrivals is the second novel for adults by internationally bestselling author Melissa Marr.  

Chloe walks into a bar and blows five years of sobriety. When she wakes, she finds herself in an unfamiliar world, The Wasteland. She discovers people from all times and places have also arrived there: Kitty and Jack, a brother and sister from the Wild West; Edgar, a prohibition bootlegger; Francis, a one-time hippie; Melody, a mentally unbalanced 1950s housewife; and Hector, a former carnival artist.  

None know why they arrived there—or if there is a way out of a world populated by monsters and filled with corruption.  

Just as she did in Graveminder, Marr has created a vivid fantasy world that will enthrall. Melissa Marr’s The Arrivals is a thoroughly original and wildly imagined tale about making choices in a life where death is unpredictable and often temporary.

Expressionless Face“I think maybe MM is just not the author for me. I love the idea but hated the execution of the 3 books I have read by her. I thought trying an adult novel rather than another YA one might change how I felt. but it reads more YA than adult and has a weird pacing style. interesting concept bland plot”
“Kitty and Jack, a brother and sister from the Old West, are the leaders of a rogue group in a crazy fantasy world. When one person dies, they might return or die for good. When one actually dies another comes from the real world. These people all have dark secrets which bind them together, through time. There are good and bad guys but mostly gray characters in this world. There is a crazy adventure to take down the big bad. I really enjoy Melissa Matt’s writing. I know I will find something to relate to even in morally gray characters. She is able to create a believable fantasy land and exciting plot.”
