Too late to save
her sister’s life, Stephanie Anders must now try to save her soul from the
vampire who has possessed her, Branwyre, eighteenth vampire Lord of the Aegean.
With only the
aid of the ghost of a pissed-off Buddhist monk with a potty mouth and the
modern day Priestess of Isis, Stephanie must take on demons and other denizens
of a world she knows nothing about if she is to succeed in banishing Branwyre.
But even more
difficult than that, she must learn how to forgive her sister Estella for what
she did to her if she is to have even half a chance of saving her soul. Welcome
to a world within our own – the Other World.
The author of "The Average American Male" and "The Lie" returns with a shocking and salacious--yet surprisingly rich and subtle--new novel of the average American family.
In this, his most ambitious and surprising book yet, Kultgen explores the sexual pressures at work on two different generations navigating the same Internet landscape: junior high school students and their parents.
Among the families traced in Men, Women & Children:
•Kent, a recent divorcé re-entering the dating world—and his son, Tim, a football star-turned-World of Warcraft-addict, who learns via Facebook that his mom is getting remarried.
• Dawn, a single mom who charges anonymous men $12.95 a month to view suggestive online pictures of her daughter, Hannah—who wants to lose her v-card before any other eighth grader.
• Don, who sneaks onto any available computer for his daily fix of streaming porn—and his son, Chris, whose porn tastes make his father’s look like Disney.
• Patricia, who is determined to keep the demons of the Internet from preying on her daughter, Brandy—who uses her secret MySpace identity to try on an alternative Goth identity and blog about threesomes she’s never had.
Whether thirteen or thirty-five, Kultgen’s characters inhabit a world where privacy is non-existent, sex is currency, and information never disappears—yet happiness is still a dream.
Kaplan's Quest by Richard Steinitz Book Summary: The disappearance of his great-uncle Samuel during World War II has shaped the life of the young university lecturer, Shmulik Kaplan. As part of his Master's Thesis on the history of Germany between the wars, he sets out to try and discover what happened to his uncle – an outstanding athlete who managed to leave Germany in 1935, and yet incomprehensibly, returned to Berlin, and then vanished without a trace. From his book lined office at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, to Berlin and to Mont St. Michel in France, and through the dusty WW II archives of the German army, the quest takes him on a rollercoaster journey of personal discovery and emotion. The search uncovers events and materials that no-one had ever heard of before, or seen, since the days of the German occupation of France.

family is finally turning to her for support?
About the Author
I have been in love with stories in all of their forms for as long as I can
remember. Admittedly, sometimes that means falling into places like Stars Hollow
and Sunnydale, but books have always been my true love. In early 2011 I began
writing a book blog in order to share my favorite reads with book lovers. From
there, the bookish community encouraged me to stop sitting on my own stories and
share them instead. Since then I’ve been madly devouring everything I can about
digital publishing.
For the past two years I have been mainly obsessed
with young adult books, but my favorite stories still come from the adult
fantasy genre. As far as I’m concerned, Briggs, Bishop, Vincent and Vaughn are
all must reads.
I spent part of my twenties living in Galway, Ireland and
swooning after various lilting accents but am now back home in Ontario, Canada.
My family includes two Glen of Imaal Terriers and a Green Cheek Conure.

Her hundred-year
penance lifted, Shadow Bearer Brenna Baudouin returns to the Earthly plane with
her partner, Gray Warlow, to keep the peace between humans and supernatural
creatures—and to prevent another apocalyptic war from happening.
The attraction
between them is nearing a critical point, but their checkered history has left
Brenna unable to trust either her heart or her instincts.
It’s chaotic
business as usual until humans begin turning to statues of dust. There is no
explanation, no sign of magical foul play or a biological toxin. The humans are
convinced it’s the work of a deviant supernatural faction, twisting the knife
in the already tense relationship between their species. Brenna and Gray
agree—the deaths have a former comrade-turned-rogue stamped all over them.
In a race
against time, they enlist the help of both friend and foe to save the human
race and stop the impending civil war. Along the way, they are forced to come
to terms with their past and decide, once and for all, whether they will come
together or fall apart.
Warning:
Contains a heroine who knows her weapons but not her own heart, an outbreak of
supernatural proportions, copious bloodletting, and a race to save an endangered
species—humans. All tied up in a tight bow of sexual tension.
Her powers have
been hobbled. Her enemies are growing stronger.
Old loves
challenge her. And her worst betrayer may be herself.
Necromancer Ruby

stalking her friends among the witches, Ruby searches for answers inside the
dark intrigues of both the demon and necromancer worlds. Ruby must confront
this new, sinister threat while reconciling her feelings for her former lover,
a demon warrior. Only it’s difficult . . . because a sexy vampire is making it
clear that he’d like to be a lot more than just friends.
The competition
for Ruby’s trust heats up as the enemy pushes her toward a dark side that could
threaten the entire realm. Yet what can Ruby do when she’s not even sure what
she is? With the fabric separating the realms at stake, she must decide whom to
trust. But will the ultimate betrayal be her own?
