The closer she gets to love, the more he unravels. For commitment-phobe Lia, love means trusting someone enough to let them in. She's not harboring some deep dark secret or a tortured soul; she's simply scared to give her heart away. When Connor sparks her interest, she reluctantly gives the freshman a chance, unknowingly catalyzing a change in her love life. Suddenly, guys vie for her attention, and her heart is torn between the new, the old, and the familiar. While she's busy with new experiences and conflicting feelings, Hawk is unraveling. Lia doesn't know how deep Hawk's obsession goes. He's always there, listening in, tracking her every move, and studying her. If not for his intervention, the guys from Lia's past would have damaged her innocence and broken her heart. They possessed the ability to change his perfect girl into someone unrecognizable and unsuitable. In all his careful planning, Hawk's become too comfortable and underestimates Connor's ability to sneak his way into Lia's heart. Cameras and footage are no longer enough. Hawk infiltrates her inner circle and manipulates the people around her, using them to carry out his plan. The sudden onslaught of male attention slows him down, or rather, escalates his obsession into something a bit deadlier. If Lia dares to love someone other than Hawk, then he may not survive her love. This bestselling book comes jam-packed with a whodunit vibe and balances the innocent, coming-of-age romance with the darkness of obsession. *For fans of contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and YA or NA books.

Empire and Environment: Ecological Ruin in the Transpacific by Jeffrey Santa Ana (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 16 hours ago

Empire and Environment argues that histories of imperialism, colonialism, militarism, and global capitalism are integral to understanding environmental violence in the transpacific region. The collection draws its rationale from the imbrication of imperialism and global environmental crisis, but its inspiration from the ecological work of activists, artists, and intellectuals across the transpacific region. Taking a postcolonial, ecocritical approach to confronting ecological ruin in an age of ecological crises and environmental catastrophes on a global scale, the collection demonstrates how Asian North American, Asian diasporic, and Indigenous Pacific Island cultural expressions critique a de-historicized sense of place, attachment, and belonging. In addition to its thirteen chapters from scholars who span the Pacific, each part of this volume begins with a poem by Craig Santos Perez. The volume also features a foreword by Macarena Gómez-Barris and an afterword by Priscilla Wald.

A chance discovery leads Kailey to a meeting with elderly Gunthreon, actual master of persuasion. Gunthreon, who seems to know too much of Kailey's history for her liking, opens Kailey's eyes to a coexisting realm she never knew existed: Renhala, while entrusting her with the knowledge of her newfound power as karmelean, serving as a beacon to the Higher Ones. Kailey slowly starts revealing new talents, and Gunthreon is fascinated with what she starts achieving.

The vampires have formed a Matriarchal society where they are ruled over by Dominatrix Vampire Queens, who reign over walled cities scattered across the globe. Two hundred years ago, a virus was unleashed upon the Earth that turned every living organism (humans, animals and insects) into zombies or zombified creatures, except for children under the age of thirteen. The vampires emerged from the shadows of myth and legend to come to humanity's rescue and offered the human children protection from the zombies.

But it's been twenty years since Joel was with a man. While he's not forgotten how to flirt, he's nervous about making a move. Especially with Finn.
