What's worse? To want something desperately but never be able to have it or to have it but feel as if you were on the verge of losing it? At the age of twelve, Mac knows she is in love with her best friend, Allie, when they perform an underaged and borderline inappropriate tango at a dance competition. As a result of that moment, Mac works to become a more subdued and controlled version of herself that is capable of being around Allie without the world hearing her heart scream how in love she is. When her wildest dreams come true eight years later, and Allie admits to feeling the same way, everything smoothly transitions into perfection for the duo. They get married, have a baby (with the help of Allie's brother and Mac's uterus), move into a nice neighborhood, and are one puppy shy of The American Dream... if The American Dream also consisted of living with Mac's feuding sisters and their promiscuous grandmother.

Watami: A Novel of 'The Serpentine' by Stephen Donald Huff (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Denizens of Watami are more human than human. Though 'normal' citizens hysterically fear them as obscene chimeras, the pastoral Nascosi way of life embraces principles of passivity and altruism to selfless - some would say 'suicidal' - extremes. When a deviant dictator determines to exploit these deep-seated genocidal animosities for political gain, he finds the peace-loving Nascosi 'morphs' to be easy targets and convenient scapegoats in promotion of his sinister designs. Since Nascosi refuse to defend themselves, they will ultimately disappear into the vaporous anonymity of extinction, yet their canny biological technology will survive them. As with all leaps of evolution, Anzian-kind will subsequently rise on a gush of gore. Afterward, humankind will be unknown.

Space.Man by Robert F. Phillips (JSMedia) (30 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Comedy! Action! Space! Aliens! Dirty Slippers! Space.Man is a hilarious take on the science fiction genre. It combines elements of action and comedy to create a narrative that promises to keep the reader engaged, thinking, and laughing. Set in the near future, Space.Man explores the misadventures of Captain Jordan Taylor of the U.S. Space Corp. A man selected for a mission of isolated deep space travel because of his introversion and preference for being alone. Due to bureaucracy and mismanagement, he is quickly forgotten about and left to fend for himself alone in outer space. Desperate to survive and return to Earth, while also dealing with faulty government equipment built by the lowest bidder, he finds himself immersed in a much larger world where the fate of the galaxy is in his hands. He must join a group of colorful and strange characters that he wants nothing to do with and find a way to bring them all together as a team to stop the spread of an uncontrollable galactic threat. Enemies are made, friendships are developed, and the galaxy is saved through sarcastic comments, dirty slippers, and a healthy dose of pop culture references. Space.Man easily transitions from scientific and technical prose to memorable, laugh out loud comedic action with a few shenanigans thrown in for good measure.

Rumors, lies, and blackmail threaten Madden's life and the career he and the guys have worked so hard to build. He doesn't know about the secret I've been keeping.
