Despite Tara's best efforts, her new BFF, Shelly Smith, just wouldn't go away.

But when Elias and Tucker both warn Tara the other is dangerous, she doesn't know who to believe.

Invisible Justice (Justice Series Book 1) by Kim Jewell (151 Reviews)    Price verified 23 minutes ago

Book #1 in a series about teenagers that were tampered with as babies - injected with a combination of drugs that were designed to leave them with super abilities. Over time the teens start to find each other, form a team, and search for answers and the man who did this to them. Likened by readers to X-Men and Heroes, Invisible Justice is a contemporary take on teenage super heroes. Sam Dixon is a fairly typical teenage boy - great parents, active school life, pesky sister - with a nice life. That is until it is turned upside down when he begins to experience crippling flashes of pain that take over his entire body. It doesn't take him long to realize that these moments of burning torture are changing his body's makeup and leaving behind extra abilities - heightened senses. His new sight, hearing, touch, taste and sense of smell give him powers beyond anything he thought possible. A random meeting at the local hardware store connects Sam with another teen - Leesha Conway - who has also experienced similar flashes, and a very different but powerful ability - telekinesis. As they compare notes and try to make sense of what is physically happening to them, a mystery unfolds. Each clue they uncover brings more questions to the table, and thus begins the search for the person that is responsible for both the pain and the powers left with them. Dr. Carl Blevins is the man they seek, the one who can give them all the answers. His medical education, combined with his special unit military training, has given him the knowledge he needs to play God with people's lives. His goal is to create an army of super humans equipped to do his bidding.

Not wanting to give up, he transferred his medical practice to obstetrics and, unbeknownst to the military officials that pulled the plug on the dangerous experiment, restarted his work on ...

Jātaka Tales: Volume 3: Folk Tales of the Buddha's Previous Lives (Jataka Tales) by Eric Van Horn (18 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The J?taka Tales are the Buddhist equivalent of Aesop's Fables. They are morality stories. In the Buddhist cultures of that time, these were the stories that children grew up hearing. They were the popular entertainment of their time. Families would gather together in the evening after the day's work was done and share these tales. And it is from these stories that people learned about the standards of conduct for followers of the Buddha. Like Aesop's Fables, the main characters in these stories can be a king, a merchant, a craftsperson, or an animal. This collection contains stories 101-150 of the 547 total stories. J?taka 124 tells a lovely story a monk whose selflessness leads to prosperity for his monastery, and in the past how he devoted himself tirelessly to providing water for animals during a drought. J?taka 105 shows a tree fairy who calms an elephant's fears. J?taka 107 is a funny story about a priest who makes his king crazy by talking too much, and how the king enlists the help of a cripple who is deadly accurate with a pea shooter to cure him! There are a number of stories about monks behaving badly. To a Westerner this may sound strange. But in a Buddhist culture there are bound to be people who ordain as monks - often with good intentions - but who find the monastic life too challenging. J?taka 146 tells the story of three older men who find a pretty cushy way to live as monks. In all these stories represent the breadth the human experience. What we see is that in 2500 years, the spectrum of humanity has not changed at all.

When Nora Sparrow was a little girl and Owen Asher told her she was special, she believed him. But Nora's fifteen now, and she's too old to believe in magical happily-ever-afters or mystical otherworlds where she can create all day long and do what she likes. Sure, there are inexplicable things about her and Owen, like that trick he can do with his eyes that bends people to his will or the fact that storm clouds gather if she ever does one creative thing, but... Special? Her? She doesn't even want to be special. She only wants to be like everyone else. When he begs her to try another ritual to open the dimensions, she agrees mostly to humor him. Owen's rituals never work. Except this one does, and it's all real. She's a muse, not a human, and this world is Helicon -- a bohemian world where the muses play hard, drink hard, throw parties, and create constantly. It's Woodstock with magic, and here everyone is like her. She finally belongs. But Owen was right after all. Half-god Owen, the son of Dionysus, the powerful and single-minded boy whose little eye trick doesn't work on her anymore? He was right, because she is special. She's the only one Owen is obsessed with. And he'll do anything to have her, to keep her, anything at all. Even tear Helicon apart at the seams. The Helicon series is a soapy, irreverent portal fantasy wherein the drama of teen relationships tends to overshadow whatever magical threat they're trying to fight. Lots of drinking, swearing, inappropriate sexual decisions, grappling with sexual orientation and gender, and random appearances by mythological figures thrown in for good measure. It's genre-bending, impossible to categorize, and for everyone out there who equally loves Gossip Girl, Rocky Horror, and Narnia.

Killing Tomorrow (Evolution's Path Book 1) by Peter Hill (71 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

"Author Peter Hill is a visionary storyteller. With a background in law enforcement and screenwriting, he brings us a narrative that's every bit as prescient and authentic as tomorrow's headlines. He does it with razor-sharp prose, and he isn't afraid to tackle ambitious themes here: feminism, globalisation, environmentalism." There is a fine line between genius and insanity. In this dangerously overpopulated world, terrorism and fanaticism reach boiling point. Against a background of terrorist plots, political intrigue and espionage, the lives of three powerful women become inextricably entwined. Fleur Nichols, a beautiful and astute investigative journalist, Wenna Cavendish, an ambitious senior MI5 officer and Simone Gofre, a brilliant lesbian virologist, leave their marks on world events and a stunning revelation will change the course of human history forever. This apocalyptic thriller takes place in the near future, it isn't science fiction, it's 'faction', and all the more chilling because you won't find zombies here, or people suddenly endowed with superpowers, just a cast of realistic characters struggling with the challenging events that overtake their lives. Can any of the women survive to fight on and escape the disaster looming over humankind? Killing Tomorrow, the first book in the Evolution's Path series, is an international terrorist thriller with a fast-moving storyline that alternates between Britain, America, Pakistan and New Zealand. Although part of a series, this book is also a satisfactory stand-alone story, and it's absolutely perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton or Margaret Atwood.

A Singular Captain: Magellan's astounding voyage by John Regan (23 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Mutiny, murder and mayhem on the first circumnavigation of the world. The Line of Demarcation divides the world between Portugal and Spain but no one knows on which side the fabulous Spice Isles lie, least of all the inhabitants. Only one man has the skill, knowledge, and iron will to settle the question: Ferdinand Magellan, who is hated in both Spain and Portugal. Antonio Pigafetta, former ambassador of the Vatican and a refugee from religious turmoil, casts his lot with a captain set up to fail. He has no idea what he has let himself in for. Mutiny, murder, shipwreck and religious wars are just part of it In the background is the sinister figure of Bishop Fonseca, head of the Casa de Contratacion with power over the ships of the armada and all its people. The bishop's bastard, Juan de Cartagena, covets command of the armada and will stop at nothing to displace Magellan but he underestimates the captain general's iron will and steely determination. Magellan is ruthless in putting down any threats to his authority while confronting his own demons. Not once but three times he stamps out rebellion, which only brings him into submission to the highest authority of all.The fatal flaw in his character is his own downfall. For Pigafetta, the first circumnavigation of the world is a spiritual journey as well as an unparalleled adventure. At a time when the Spanish Inquisition tortures and murders unbelievers, Pigafetta discovers compassion and questions his own faith. Pigafetta's dilemma is whether the puzzle of how a man as eminent as Pope Leo could be so wicked and how a man as wicked as Magellan could be so noble. Review by: Rod Fisher This is a great read of Magellan's voyage as seen through the eyes of Pigafetta, his personal assistant. Too often men like Magellan who have made a profound impact on the history and discovery of the world are denigrated by revisionist historians who dwell on their mistakes and weaknesses. But when the world was a mystery it took ...
