Butterflies At Night by Ella B. Grayson 5.0 Stars (13 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

Ericka has lost all of her self-confidence. She is terrified to escape her abusive relationship, and worse yet, she is forced to leave her son behind. He has bipolar disorder, so it's an especially difficult move for her to make, but she has no choice. She escapes to Vermont, to a second home that belongs to her family, but she discovers that the house, and a place in the woods near it, have a dark history. She wonders if it explains some of the strangeness that still seems to hang over it. In learning about its past, she also discovers more about Neil, the person who eventually reveals its secrets to her, and why he seems to comprehend so much about her own plight. She realizes that Neil might also be the key to understanding more about her son, and how to bring him back into her life. Neil, a youthful, almost-hippie sort, is the complete opposite of the imposing, demanding man Ericka left behind in Connecticut. Around Neil, Ericka feels young again, and she starts to remember the person she was before constant emotional abuse pulled her under. She is also keenly aware of the physical attraction between the two of them. Ericka finds a renewed sense of purpose in a new job taking care of Bill, a kind, elderly gentleman struggling with dementia. When she meets Bill's successful son Andrew, with the looks of a rugged, forty-something magazine model, her first instinct is to dislike him for his apparent neglect of his aging father. As she learns more about the family dynamics, however, her feelings about Andrew begin to change. Ericka is a young woman caught between worlds, bravely trying to start over wherever she can, with only a vague sense of the person she once was. She is nervously making what she thinks are the best decisions as a mother, while also trying to find her way back to herself and her youth, and realizing along the way that love, and building a new family, might still someday be possible.

They say warlocks are lesser beings. I'm about to prove them wrong. The streets have been my home for as long as I can remember. To get by, I use my magic tricks, bringing smiles to the faces of adults and children alike. As a warlock, my powers are limited. Nothing like a witch's magical skills.

I know there's a better life out there for me. When I accidentally summon the lost magic of arcana, something not even a powerful witch can do, my world is turned upside down. Enter Tae Frost. Mysterious billionaire vampire. Deliciously handsome and brooding. Able to set my pulse racing with just one look. A man who offers to change my life for the better. I just have to move into his penthouse and help him hunt demons first. Hmmm. I have a big decision to make. Do I take this Cinderella-like opportunity? Especially with the dangerous secret I'm hiding from the world. And if the witches discover I've summoned arcana... Well, it won't be fun to be me if they do. There's a demon making a big impression -- a creepy, button-eyed man spilling blood across London. Seemingly uncatchable, as well as unhinged. The city is trembling in the wake of his shadow. With my new powers, I'm the only one to stop him. Damn. Night Tricks is the first book in an Urban Fantasy Romance series packed with magic, demons, action, and steamy moments. Step into the world of a warlock who always tries to see the sunny side of life, and the sexy vampire who makes his knees go weak.

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.

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.

Strange Fire Indeed: A Charismatic Response to John MacArthur’s Strange Fire by Gerard Laudat 3.7 Stars (21 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

In this revolutionary work poised for a Second Reformation, Laudat draws out new definitions of God, miracles, apostleship, regeneration, sanctification, revival, prophecy, spiritual gifts, Spirit-baptism, evangelism, Pentecost, visions, election, creation, time, matter, the human soul, the Incarnation, the Holy Spirit, testing the spirits, the Fall of Man, and even theodicy. Consider just one example of Laudat's radical reforms. Every leader operates on a theory of how best to run the church in the aftermath of the 1st-century. What if God regards such theories as a man-made impertinence typically disqualifying us for revival? What if the Galatian epistle is exhorting us to simply wait upon Him for clear revelations that both unveil His will and revive us? If so, can a new Christian test and verify such revelations? Boldly tackling the hard questions, Laudat proposes new answers as startling as they are unprecedented.

I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiancé cheated on me, and I called off the wedding... I'm heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name. And now, I'm on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana, to lick my wounds and figure out what's next in my life. I'm going to live with my childhood best friend, TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young, we had a pact that if one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other. Granted, TJ and I haven't seen each other since we were thirteen, and we stopped our barrage of letters and emails when we were eighteen. However, we still send Christmas cards yearly, and in one of them, he did say, "If you're ever in this part of the country, drop in." I don't think he meant it as literally as I took it. So, that's how I ended up living on a remote ranch, in a log cabin with a man who didn't seem quite as happy to see me as I thought he would be. But maybe it didn't help that I showed up in my wedding dress, and everyone in town thought I was his new bride. Oops! This may not have been my best decision, but I'm hoping that Paradise Valley can help to mend my broken heart.

Deuce Mora Mystery Series Vol. 4-5 Plus Maximum Impact (The Deuce Mora Series Book 7) by Jean Heller 4.7 Stars (267 Reviews)    Price verified 14 minutes ago

Three gripping thrillers featuring hard-hitting reporter Deuce Mora - and a twisty, pulse-pounding Watergate-type cover-up of a massive plane crash A Jean Heller read guarantees an intricate, action-packed mystery. Here are three of her best: a locked-room murder puzzle embedded in a contemporary mob mystery, an international crime ring embedded in corrupt government, and a government cover-up that loops and careens to a shocking climax. Fiery, tough, athletic, and a dirty fighter when she has to be, journalist Deuce Mora tends to lean more heavily on her "investigative reporter" profile than her "lead columnist" title strictly requires. Rather than shying away from fights, she tends to pick them. Cases in point: Ill Wind and Black Marsh. She didn't have to go there. But she always does. Ill Wind Veteran reporter Deuce Mora is awakened in the pre-dawn hours and called to the scene of a gruesome hanging to identify the body of a dear friend, an FBI agent on the verge of taking down one of Chicago's biggest Mob operations. Deuce knows it's murder, but the authorities have no choice but to call it a suicide - the death scene was triple-locked from the inside. Black Marsh Deuce discovers a whole new dimension of danger when she wakes up in a swamp next to a plane crash, with no memory of how she got there - and in no shape to argue with the mysterious swamp hermit who claims he needs to hide her from the search helicopters circling above. He's the only help that's coming, since the forces of what passes for law and order in remote Joe Pye County are led by a sadistic sheriff steeped in the corruption Deuce came to investigate. Maximum Impact Three hundred thirty-three fatalities and no survivors. Investigating the deadliest accident in U.S. aviation history in which a new plane's engine disintegrated, reporter Steve Pace uncovers a Watergate-type cover-up involving the government and industrial leaders.

Kingdom Fundamentals: What the Kingdom of God Means and What it Means for You | A Thorough and Biblical Exposition of the Kingdom of Heaven as ... by Sebastien Richard 4.8 Stars (48 Reviews)    Price verified 24 minutes ago

How Much of The Kingdom of God Are YOU Experiencing? A Bit? Some? Not Enough? Many believers lead lives of unavowed defeat, quiet desperation, and long for more in their lives and walk with God. The victory, fire, living waters, and abundant life they were promised, somehow elude them. Has Christianity failed them? Has the Church dropped the ball? Is there something more? Something... better? The answer to all these questions is an emphatic yes! The Kingdom of God was the central theme of Jesus' teachings. And yet, it has been (and still is) one of the most neglected and misunderstood teachings in Church history. Just as it was in Jesus' days, many are still bound by the 'doctrines and commandments of men' today (Mark 7:7, Matthew 15:9). The results of this Kingdom neglect, which are found in most denominations today and in the lives of their congregants, are disquieting at best. In Kingdom Fundamentals, Sebastien Richard invites you to undertake and pursue your own 'Kingdom Quest' by dropping the shackles of religion,redefining your purpose, and rediscovering the Kingdom God 'prepared for you since the creation of the world.' Within these pages, you will... ? Gain a clear understanding of God's mighty government, and how it applies to your life here on earth ? Renew your understanding of the Gospel and mission of Christ ? Marvel at the King of Heaven's rules of engagement ? Understand God's goodness and promises in a whole new light ? Recognize the crippling effects of a religious mindset ? Redefine and strengthen your Kingdom identity ? Rethink your way towards God's Kingdom abundance, and much more! For God the Father, the Kingdom was meant to be our immeasurable inheritance! For Jesus, His legendary legacy! And for the Holy Spirit, our dynamic destiny! The greatest issue with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God today is that believers think they already know and understand it. So, if you think you already know the Kingdom of God and its message, ...

When it was Dark by Guy Thorne 4.0 Stars (33 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

"I, Joseph of Arimathea, took the body of Jesus, the Nazarene, from the tomb where it was first laid and hid it in this place." A press report on this discovery just outside Jerusalem says: "There now seems no shadow of doubt that the disappearance of the body of Christ from the first tomb is accounted for, and the Resurrection as told in the Gospels did not take place. Joseph of Arimathea here confesses that he stole away the body, probably in order to spare the Disciples and friends of the dead Teacher, with whom he was in sympathy, the shame and misery of the final end to their hopes." This is proof, welcomed by many, that Jesus was not who he claimed to be, the Son of God, but was nothing more than a good teacher who was treated cruelly by those in authority. Churches quickly empty. Over a year, society begins to break down around a world with no traditional standard to live by. A young curate, a journalist, and a music hall singer who is the mistress of a famous man, put their lives in danger as they set out to discredit the discovery, believing that a wealthy, militant atheist could be responsible for the hoax -- if indeed it is a hoax. This story by popular fiction writer Guy Thorne was first published in 1903. Dan Brown was definitely not the first writer to imagine the Christian faith under threat from archaeology!

Captain Alfred Horn is the highly skilled pilot chosen to fulfil a top-secret assignment. Under the impression he is to test-fly for Messerschmitt, Horn puts up little resistance. However, he soon becomes aware that this assignment he has embarked upon is more than just test-flying a modified long-range Me110. Curiously, he is also put in the hands of a highly skilled tailor! What could a tailor possibly have to do with test-flying the Me110? On his first and only flight on the Me110, Horn is ordered to take the gunner's seat rather than piloting.

Does he exist? Is there a German flier on the run in Scotland? Soon a ruthless manhunt begins... Meanwhile, Horn takes the first step of the mission as directed by Hess. However, misinformed, he misses his contact and has to settle for Kay Thompson, his contact's assistant.

The Mysteries Continue Life goes on in Ocean Alley, but change is underfoot. Unexpected Resolution opens with a surprise guest at Jolie and Scoobie's wedding, and an unidentified body in the Ocean Alley Hospital emergency room. Jolie has to help Scoobie dig through family skeletons -- and solve a murder.. The Twain Does Meet is a novella that relays the story of Jolie and Scoobie becoming parents. While there is lots to discover, it's not a traditional cozy mystery. It didn't seem right to combine such a joyous even with a corpse. In fact, it's called it a Jolie and Scoobie novella. The series moves ahead three years with Underground in Ocean Alley. As a mom of toddlers, Jolie Gentil has sworn off butting into other people's business. To those who know her, it sounds as far-fetched as finding used bubble gum on Mars. Nothing could drag Jolie into solving crimes. And then a request for help comes from the most unlikely source... Publisher's Weekly Review: Orr's family-focused 10th Jolie Gentil cozy mystery finds sometimes sleuth Jolie and her fiance Scoobie preparing for their intimate New Year's Eve wedding in Ocean Alley, NJ. Then Scoobie's long-absent father shows up in the local hospital... Orr successfully delivers a quiet story about unexpected life events and the honest love that binds no matter what.

Finding Genius: Understanding Cancer: 30 Questions, 70 Geniuses, 200+ Amazing Insights by Richard Jacobs 4.7 Stars (11 Reviews)    Price verified 38 minutes ago

This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. What you're about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first - I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I'm not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it's a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you'll be surprised by what you can learn in a year's time.

Roberta und der ägyptische Mumiendelphin (German Edition) by E. Dence 4.3 Stars (85 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Was haben Delphinkinder und Menschenkinder gemeinsam? Beide mögen es nicht, aus ihrer gewohnten Umgebung herausgerissen zu werden. Als Roberta mit ihren Eltern wegen eines Siedlungsbauprojekts umziehen muss, ist ihre Welt nicht mehr in Ordnung. Am meisten stört sie, dass sie ihren besten Freund zurücklassen muss. In der neuen Umgebung hat Roberta nur Erwachsene in ihrem Umfeld und diese haben leider ziemlich wenig Zeit für Roberta. Natürlich findet sie auch hier neue Freunde, aber sie trauert ihrem besten Freund dennoch nach. Zum Glück gibt es dort keine Schule und Roberta kommt vor Schulbeginn wieder zurück in die alte Siedlung. Doch alles hat sich verändert. Die Siedlung und sogar ihr altes Höhlenabteil scheinen geschrumpft zu sein und ihr bester Freund ist auch nicht so, wie sie es erwartet hat. Auch die Schule wird problematisch, denn Roberta hat sich von ihren Freunden im Bauprojekt hauptsächlich Eigenschaften zu eigen gemacht, die für einen Delphin ihres Alters vielleicht unpassend sind. Ihr bester Freund macht ihr durch seine Mentalität noch zusätzlich jede Menge Sorgen, aber sind ihre Sorgen auch gerechtfertigt? Während Roberta aus alter Gewohnheit hauptsächlich in der heimischen Höhle lernt und trainiert, glänzt ihr bester Freund schon seit Jahren in der Siedlung mit Abwesenheit. Man weiß nur, dass er zufriedener wirkt, seit Roberta wieder da ist. Als die Haie frecher werden und nicht nur den Strand, sondern auch die Delphinsiedlung bedrohen, beginnen sich auch gleichzeitig ein paar Geheimnisse zu lüften. Werden Roberta und Ignazius wieder zusammenfinden? Die Vorzeichen sind nicht sehr günstig, denn zu allem Überfluss beginnt bei den Jungdelphinen gerade auch noch die Pubertät. Dieses eBook enthält für Kinder, Jugendliche und jung Gebliebene auch einige Überraschungen. Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim Lesen.

If you like Rivers of London, the Dresden Files and the Kings Watch, you will like this. "Hack the angel's wings off and send them to Scotland Yard in a plastic bag. That should get his attention." Things are not looking good for Detective Inspector Judas Iscariot. Cursed with immortality by a vengeful and angry God, Judas finds himself in present day London and head of the secret occult crime division known as the Black Museum at Scotland Yard. It's his job to keep London's mysterious and macabre underworld under control. He's on top of his caseload and everything seems fine, until one morning a pair of severed angel wings is delivered to the Black Museum and his world is turned inside out and upside down. Again. It's true that he is one of history's most hated men, but he's been given a second chance. It could also be his last. His investigation takes him on a journey through a city where angels work in pubs, pulling pints and delivering the post, along invisible pathways created by the ancient druids, to slave pits under construction sites, and on special trains that use Britain's Ley lines as their tracks. Danger is everywhere, and characters from London's evil past are queuing up to see him fall, but there are those who will fight his corner, too. WW2 Black Magicians, werewolves in U Boats, and the mysterious '10' all want him dead, but If Judas can change - if he can help those that need it most and become a 'Hero' - then it's just possible that he will finally be forgiven for the crime of all crimes, and finally find peace. Welcome to the Order of the Black Sun. A page-turning thriller series unlike anything you've read before.
