What a Nice Guy by Phil Torcivia 3.8 Stars (25 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Do you know any nice guys? Perhaps you're married to or good friends with one. Well, consider the possibility that this nice guy is so frustrated with his relationship failures that he needs to vent to keep from turning into a bad boy with anger issues. Then, try not to spit hot coffee as you read his sarcastic rants about why men and women don't seem to fit. Excerpt from What a Nice Guy -- Snippity Doo Dah My initial vasectomy consultation is scheduled for today and I can't get this song out of my head: Snippity doo dah, snippity aye, My, oh my, what a wonderful day! None of my sperm is going to stray. Snippity doo dah, snippity aye. Mister blue balls getting older, No child support It's so practical. Everything's satisfactual! (Everbody now... ) Snippity doo dah, snippity aye, Rubberless feelings coming my way! If you're staring at this page with mouth agape, you're either my mother or a fertile woman. Men, can I have an amen? You betcha. Look, ladies, I turn fifty this year. I need offspring like I need square dancing lessons. If I were to have one of my little guys actually find an egg, that would make me almost seventy by the time Junior went to prom. I'd be riding my daughter down the aisle on my scooter. I've done the math. It costs $800, which is equivalent to twenty morning-after pills, two abortions, or a case of Silver Oak wine. I'll sacrifice the latter for peace of mind. It is also one-hundredth the cost of a college education, one-tenth the cost of a used car (plus repairs), and half the cost of outgrown sneakers. I know, I know. "You still need to wear condoms. What about STDs?" That's true (and it sucks), but it makes the whole process less stressful when breakage or slippage occurs. Actually, I think I've only had a rubber break once in my life. Slippage has happened numerous times. (OK, stop with the tiny penis jokes.) I'm sure we've all had that shocking/embarrassing moment when ole Willy leaves the party without his ...

Throne of Shadows by Emma Fenton (Blue Morpho Books) 4.5 Stars (131 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Magic or Myth? Princess Honoria Ramadani is mere weeks away from marrying the man she loves, becoming a queen, and finally escaping the suffocating atmosphere of the Helish court. When an ominous prophecy threatens Ria's entire future, she's hesitant to put stock behind childish superstition. But with her parents' sudden, inexplicable illness and subsequent deaths, she can no longer deny that there are greater forces at work. The discovery of an antiquated law forces Ria to fight for both her life and the throne, pitting her against her vicious older sister. An ancient demon-summoning ritual -- which promises that any desire can be granted, for a price -- may be the only thing that can save Ria from certain death. But witchcraft is a finicky matter, and she soon finds herself magically bound to an arrogant demon who might cause more problems than he solves. There are worse terrors than demons lurking in the palace walls, however, and Ria will have to forge the unlikeliest of alliances if she wants to have any chance of surviving.

Years ago, as a young witch with a reckless streak, I summoned the King of Gluttony and tried to con the big bad. It didn't work, and instead of riches beyond my wildest dreams, I got a curse that makes every man that kisses me addicted beyond measure. Even a drop of my spit is enough. Mr. Bub, King of Gluttony and overall AH, has me on a tight leash. Just one more job, and he'll lift my curse. (So he says) The problem is... it's never just one more job. When the Steward of the Red City outside of Baton Rouge needs help, Beelzebub volunteers me for the job.

She is trapped, and all available warriors have been called to battle Crine Proft's army of mindless soldiers, who are attempting to overtake the city of Venah. Proft has successfully completed his programming, and in every city he overtakes, individuals' minds are being held hostage and their memories erased so that they are unable to make their own decisions.

A Guide for Life Is God for Life by James Thomas Lee Jr 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

In this book, eight brief scenarios about nine imaginary people will be presented. Even though the people will not have been modeled after anyone in particular, their intent will be to mirror what many people in this world consider the important issues of this life. The point that will be made with each scenario, however, is that every person, no matter what, will someday die. So if there is an afterlife and if that afterlife lasts forever, then rational, intelligent human beings to be rational and intelligent should be at least a little concerned about that life after death. While the topics of this book are serious, playful names have been used to describe the type of each person being discussed. For example, scenario one is about Abercrombie Gotitall. With a name like that, it should be obvious that he is very successful. Scenario two is about Barking Godislove. His main claim is that a loving God would never impose eternal condemnation on anyone. Scenario three is about Causing Imsogood. She believes that it is important to be a good person and to be involved in positive civic causes. Scenario four is about Doing Moregoodthanbad. Neither saint nor devil is what seems most important to him. Scenario five is about Eternity Doesnotexist. Eternity tends to rely on the smart people in the world to let her know the truth about the afterlife. Scenario six is about Foolish Religionisforothers. When he considers the costs of a favorable afterlife, he cannot make what he thinks are the necessary lifestyle changes to have it. Scenario seven is about Goober Faithshallow. She had repeated a prayer for salvation as a young girl. Then, throughout her whole life, she had counted on that one prayer to get her into heaven once on the other side of the grave. Finally, scenario eight is about Hadnut and Ioline Truefaith. Of the nine people discussed, those are the two who got it right. In the first six chapters, the first seven scenarios will be presented. The people will be ...

Blood Moon: A Harry Chin Murder Mystery by Ralph Griffith 3.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

In Darwin, Australia in the Northwest Territories, crocodiles aren't the only predators lurking about. Inspector Harry Chin, and his partner, Ash Friday, a fierce Aboriginal detective with dark brooding eyes, are sent from Canberra to investigate the murder of an Australian Federal Police Officer, Peter Riggs. Riggs had been working undercover on an international heroin ring that seems to be coming in through the Port of Darwin. The officer had been found in his car dead from an overdose of heroin--the very drug that he had been investigating. Everything seems to be pointing to a heroin ring, but for Harry, something smells off. The scene reeks of staged tragedy, the victim's demise too tidy, too convenient. They soon find themselves knee-deep in their most perplexing case yet. Harry and Ash, the AFP's most elite investigative team, dive into Darwin's underbelly; a labyrinth of sun-bleached docks and neon-drenched alleys. As they dissect alibis and peel back layers of deceit, they encounter a kaleidoscope of suspects: a Russian crocodile farm, an Asian gangster running a dive called the Buddha Bar, double-crossing kingpins, and a femme fatale with secrets as sharp as her stilettos. It soon becomes apparent that the crocodiles aren't the only dangerous souls around.

The time is the early 1900s, and the place was deep in the Sierra Nevada mountains, where trails serve as roads, and the meek seldom dare to tread. Travelers seeking this environment often march to a different drummer than those of us who need a crowd to keep from feeling lost or alone. Somewhere along the way, these individuals have discovered the flaw in a society that rewards greed and bias and seeks to punish those who only hope to find a better path. This is the story of one such family seeking a more fulfilling existence by avoiding most things the rest of us think define civilization. Over a period of weeks, an innocent young boy is transformed by adventure and tragedy into a young man. A mother's faith is tested by God, and a family reaches into the past to heal it's wounds.

Dating is a humorous struggle for a recently divorced man who has no clue what women want. Excerpt from Still a Nice Guy - What's Your Sign? Astrology is bullshit.

Well, then this will never work." She's right; it won't, because I don't want to waste time with a deluded person. It's time we come up with a new set of signs, and I'm just the man to do it. • Hairies. Featuring Greeks and Italians, this group includes people with constant shower drain clogs and an arsenal of clippers and razors. • Saggyderryarius. Old folks with droopy butts. • Whorpio. Also known as "sex junkie," obsessed with enjoying the finer things in life in exchange for putting out. • Borus. This includes people who dominate every group event and keep us all on the edge of our seats with their Facebook updates, or so they think. • Gleeyo. One with obnoxious laughter hiding a deep depression. • Hebra. Man with boobs. • Ginani. Martini addicts. People who drink from triangular glasses and act catty. • Furgo. Women with hairless privates that make it easy for men to find glory while fantasizing about their high school sweethearts. • Glancer. Voyeurs who can't talk to women without staring down the cleavage. For you blue-collar types: • Construction Zone. Visit Del Mar, La Jolla, or Scottsdale to discover wild packs of these Botox-laden beasts. • School Zone. Cougars out to teach youngsters how to make a Cosmopolitan and find the G-spot. • Yield. A sign of indifference. I use this one often. It represents someone who would rather receive directions than guess what you want. It also means that I don't care what your sign is.

The Proverbs Life Is A Much Better Life by James Thomas Lee Jr 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The idea with this text is that the Proverbs life is a much better life. The reason for saying that is because it leads to either no unpleasant consequences or to very few unpleasant consequences. So this text is about improving a person's decision-making skills, about reducing the unpleasant consequences that result from bad decisions, and about showing that the Proverbs life produces a much better life. There is one main theme that is presented throughout. If people want to live a good life and experience very few unpleasant consequences, then they need to study the scriptures, internalize its truths, and live by its simple, clear principles. In support of that theme, the book of Proverbs is a good place to start. Next, there is a key passage that is presented throughout this text, too. John 8:31-32 says, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." It must be stated, though, that this text has been one of the most interesting that this author has ever written. It started out with a simple idea a few months ago but has changed directions several times since that beginning. For one thing, it has been tedious to just come up with a meaningful title. In the beginning, the title was "The Consequences of Sin Often Exceeds the Pleasures of Sin." But it did not stay that way for very long. Next it was changed to "The Consequences of Sin." But it did not stay that way for very long either. After that, it was next changed to "Bad Decisions Usually Lead to Bad Consequences." It did stay that way for a few days. But then it was changed again to "The Secret to Making Better Decisions." Later that same day, though, it was changed to "The Proverbs Approach to Better Decision-Making." Then a few days after that, it was changed to "The Proverbs Path to Fewer Unpleasant Consequences." A short while later, it was changed one more time to "The ...

DEUCE MORA DOESN'T SHY AWAY FROM FIGHTS - SHE PICKS THEM. THE BIGGER THE BETTER. Although, to be fair, this one is brought to her by a dog with a bone in his teeth. In Jean Heller's first Deuce Mora mystery, the scrappy female sleuth tangled with the mob; this time out she's on the wrong side of the NSA, the FBI and the CIA. At a minimum. Fans of hard-boiled female protagonists should hang onto their fedoras-- this one's an action-packed extravaganza! The grisly discovery of a human bone while Deuce is out for a hike with handsome arson investigator Mark Hearst leads to the unearthing of a vast burial field, a human trafficking ring, and international intrigue. The pull-no-punches columnist-- and meticulous detective-- keeps turning up information, bit by bit, only to find some Fed in her face, at her door, emerging from the shadows, always guarding the edges of the story, insisting it will not be told. Yes, the Feds are aware of the trafficking ring; yes, they have a plan to move on it; no, Deuce can't be told about the plan; and under no circumstances can she write about its existence. This is the story of a lifetime-- bigger than the Vinnie Colangelo story, which earned Deuce and the Journal a Pulitzer, and, for once, she has the support of her editor, but the Journal's lawyer appears daily, bringing warnings about "national security." What, Deuce seethes, could be a greater matter of national security than the safety of the city's children, who are being kidnapped and murdered? And this story has become very personal for Deuce, as she herself admits, lamenting her loss of objectivity. The hard-hitting journalist has fallen hard for a new guy: a savvy and charming eight-year-old boy named Charles with the face of an angel and the possibility of a bright future, but at great risk due to a life in foster care. Already the street-smart kid has revealed a depth of knowledge about the failures of DCFS and the machinery meant to protect him. For Deuce, every child ...

Enemies turn to lovers in this bad boy billionaire romance with a twist. I had a plan. Finish law school. Start a job. Stay away from men like Brandon Sterling. Cocky, overbearing, and richer than the Earth, he thinks the world belongs to him, and that includes me. Yeah, no. Think again. It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes. But I had a plan: no falling in love. I just have to convince myself.

Can A Woman Preach?: By What Authority by Joseph Brice (BCMG) 5.0 Stars (3 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

When I was a drug addict, God saved my life through a woman pastor! I was so high and intoxicated, almost out of my mind. Somehow, God got my attention early one Easter morning, telling me to go to church because "Today was the day of salvation." I was so high and intoxicated that all I wanted was peace and sleep, and I couldn't get either. I had not been to sleep in three days. I felt a poke to my shoulder and heard a voice say, "Get up and go to church... Today is the day of salvation." I thought I was going crazy. I showered and dressed to go to church, but my question was, where? I had not attended a church service in over ten years. I don't want to go, but I am desperate and scared. I have never felt this way before; I think I am about to die, and I don't want to die like this. How disgraceful it would be for my family and friends to hear I had overdosed and died from drugs and alcohol. I think going to my mother's church is out of the question. But then I listen to this voice again, "Go to your mother's church!" When I arrived, an usher was greeting me at the door, and to my surprise, it was a guy known in our old neighborhood for doing drugs. I looked at him in surprise; he looked like a new man, and I asked, what are you doing here? He said, "I have been attending this church for over three years and have been clean of alcohol and drugs; what are you doing here? I didn't give him an answer, but somehow, seeing him made me feel a little at ease. He asked me where I would like to be seated. As I entered the sanctuary part of the church, the pastor was already preaching but closed her Bible. She said, God just changed my message. He said, "TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!" This is the third time I have heard these words in one morning, and they are getting my attention. This pastor started preaching about the love of God through Jesus and how he came to this world to save sinners. How his love for us, the shedding of his blood, the price he paid, and passion ...

HEADS-UP! TWISTY PLOTTING, SLY WIT, AND OVER-THE TOP HUMOR AHEAD! In this wacky and hilarious whodunit, private eye Lee Alvarez slips into the role of magician's assistant for a fundraiser and finds herself dead center in a beyond-grisly murder. Despite meticulous planning and rehearsal, the magician's guillotine trick goes as wrong as it possibly can when Lee pulls the cord and shimmies to divert attention from the horrifying fall of the blade. With her back to the guillotine, she's the last to know of the real-life beheading. But the first to know she's the number one suspect. In a humiliating turn of events, she's summarily arrested and booked for the murder. An easy situation to lose your own head in, but with three days before her arraignment, the entire Alvarez family investigative firm swings into action to save their star. Luckily for the reader, the unfortunate events are just beginning. The wealthy magician's beneficiaries immediately begin coming to various sticky ends, including shootings, drownings, kidnappings, and oncoming SUVs. It seems he's left a chunk of his fortune to a tontine, to be divided among his two ex-wives, current cheating wife, twin nephews, and devoted butler -- with the last survivor enjoying the whole income. Someone evidently can't keep a cool head on their shoulders. Fans of PI stories, cozy mysteries, and women sleuths will lose their own heads over Lee Alvarez and her adorable (and vexing) family of investigators! Lee's sharp and funny like her fellow female protagonists Kinsey Millhone (Sue Grafton) and Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich), but she cleans up better - say, Nora to her dapper husband's Nick. And the rest of the large, loving, interfering, and resourceful Alvarez family will delight lovers of Lisa Lutz's family series, The Spellman Files.

The Fifth: Indoctrinated City by Chris Sykes 3.9 Stars (4 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

"A remarkable tale of the frightening consequences of hatred and discrimination." - Kirkus Reviews With a fascist majority in the British Parliament, the UK falls to the hatred unleashed by that vote. When the government is no longer held to account, new laws are passed making certain people illegal. They are hunted by the Patrol. But under the streets of York lies a maze of tunnels, built from history, and filled with society's rejects. When one family tries to flee, Jenny finds her long lost father. Her brother, Jack, is taken north to join the British Liberation Army. This is theaction-packed thriller aboutunchecked hatred flooding a nation. Revolution is coming. Will The Fifth be ready? Reviews "although it begins as a dystopian thriller, soon develops strong sci-fi elements that aren't to be missed by science fiction fans. Dealing with a host of delicate subjects (with a trigger warning that also includes a message of hope at the start of the book which I appreciated) I feel that the author navigates this story well. It is very well-written and I was immersed in the character development of both Jenny and Jack, following on with Jenny's missions and hoping for improvements for Jack. This story is action packed, with twists that I could never have predicted and I would recommend for readers in the older YA market. I was eager to find out exactly what was happening and wanted to read the book in one sitting." - LoveReading / LoveReading4kids Ambassador (Indie Books We Love) "Sykes truly excels at unexpected turns regarding both the plot and cast. Some characters, for example, aren't as amiable as they seem, and more than one death is genuinely shocking. This book, even with its stark ending, could either be a stand-alone or a series opener. A remarkable tale of the frightening consequences of hatred and discrimination." - Kirkus Reviews
