Book Description
Looking for a good post-apocalyptic romance to sink your teeth into? Then don’t miss out on this complete gripping action-adventure series from Jami Gray that runs the gamut from heart-breaking betrayal to redeeming second-chance love. The world as we know it is long gone and in its place is the ravaged, post-apocalyptic landscape known as The Collapse. From the ashes rises a new breed of mercenary warriors called Fate’s Vultures, four enigmatic protectors who hold to their code even as loyalties shift with the winds of this chaotic reality, testing their bonds to each other and their found families. Steel yourself and get ready for a consuming ride through a riveting romantic suspense series. Choosing a side has never been so dangerous… An assassin by trade, a loner by nature, Mercy’s mission to infiltrate the Cartels and unmask the identity of their new silent partner is shot to hell when she discovers a darker plan poised to bring the entire Southwest region to its knees. Despite the unmistakable target pinned to her back by a hefty bounty, she’s determined to stop the impending attack at any cost, even if it means teaming up with the dark and broody Havoc, a member of the infamous mercenaries known as Fate’s Vultures. Havoc has defied the savage human predators that stalk what’s left of humanity, and carries the brutal, blood-soaked nightmares to prove it. Scarred and disillusioned, his years spent riding with Fate’s Vultures has only reinforced his belief that to survive in this harsh new reality requires crossing personal lines and forging unlikely allies. Allies like the enigmatic Mercy, whose secrets and troubling loyalty light the fuse on his insatiable curiosity and ignite an unexpected craving he can’t resist. To trap a common foe and derail a catastrophic threat from an elusive killer, can an assassin and a mercenary find their balance on the thin line of loyalty, or will it snap under the weight of their wary hearts? For fans of E.A. Chance, Evie Mitchell, and Kyla Stone, BEG FOR MERCY is the second novel in The Collapse: Fate’s Vultures, a complete post-apocalyptic romantic suspense that should be read in order, but can be read as standalones. This alpha hero romantic suspense follows the second of four evocative couples that will let no one and nothing stop them from claiming their happily ever afters, even as the world burns. *This is a heavily revised edition of previously released title

Book Description
"darkly atmospheric and delectably sexy."—Booklist, starred review Honoria Todd has more secrets than most people and she's hiding them in Whitechapel. Blade is the master of the rookeries and agrees to protect her, but at what price? Most people avoid the dreaded Whitechapel district. For Honoria Todd, it's the last safe haven as she hides from the Blue Blood aristocracy that rules London through power and fear. Blade rules the rookeries—no one dares cross him. It's been said he faced down the Echelon's army single–handedly, that ever since being infected by the blood–craving he's been quicker, stronger, and almost immortal. When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel—or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking. A unique, sexy paranormal romance, Bec McMaster's London Steampunk novels will appeal to fans of Gail Carriger, Kristen Callihan's Darkest London series, and the Blud series by Delilah Dawson. What everyone is saying about Bec McMaster: "a must read for paranormal fans and steampunk fans alike. 5/5 Stars, Reviewer Top Pick"—Night Owl Reviews "richly imagined, gritty and dark, and full of hot heroes and hot sex... utterly delicious."—Smart Bitches, Trashy Books "Action, adventure, steampunk, and blazing hot seduction...Bec McMaster offers it all."—Eve Silver, author of Sins of the Flesh

Let's Pretend This Never Happened
Author: Jenny Lawson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101573082
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Undead Ends
Author: S. Trimble
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813593662
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Undead Ends is about how we imagine humanness and survival in the aftermath of disaster. This book frames modern British and American apocalypse films as sites of interpretive struggle. It asks what, exactly, is ending? Whose dreams of starting over take center stage, and why? And how do these films, sometimes in spite of themselves, make room to dream of new beginnings that don’t just reboot the world we know? Trimble argues that contemporary apocalypse films aren’t so much envisioning The End of the world as the end of a particular world; not The End of humanness but, rather, the end of Man. Through readings of The Road, I Am Legend, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Children of Men, and Beasts of the Southern Wild, this book demonstrates that popular stories of apocalypse can trouble, rather than reproduce, Man’s story of humanness. With some creative re-reading, they can even unfold towards unexpected futures. Mainstream apocalypse films are, in short, an occasion to imagine a world After Man.

Clean Air

Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1643752227
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
In this postapocalyptic story of mystery, suspense, grief, and loss, a girl processes her mother’s death as a serial killer’s presence makes her already dangerous world even more deadly. The climate apocalypse has come and gone, and in the end it wasn't the temperature climbing or the waters rising. It was the trees. They created enough pollen to render the air unbreathable, and the world became overgrown. In the decades since the event known as the Turning, humanity has rebuilt, and Izabel has grown used to the airtight domes that now contain her life. She raises her young daughter, Cami, and attempts to make peace with her mother's death. She tries hard to be satisfied with this safe, prosperous new world, but instead she just feels stuck. And then the tranquility of her town is shattered. Someone—a serial killer—starts slashing through the domes at night, exposing people to the deadly pollen. At the same time, Cami begins sleep-talking, having whole conversations about the murders that she doesn't remember after she wakes. Izabel becomes fixated on the killer, on both tracking him down and understanding him. What could compel someone to take so many lives after years dedicated to sheer survival, with society finally flourishing again? Suspenseful and startling, but also poetic and written with a wry, observant humor, this “skillful blend of postapocalyptic science fiction, supernatural murder mystery, and domestic drama is unexpected and entirely engrossing” (Publishers Weekly).

Book Description
My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (and as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluable, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in England. Now I'm a Detective Constable and a trainee wizard, the first apprentice in fifty years, and my world has become somewhat more complicated: nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce between the warring god and goddess of the Thames, and digging up graves in Covent Garden ... and there's something festering at the heart of the city I love, a malicious vengeful spirit that takes ordinary Londoners and twists them into grotesque mannequins to act out its drama of violence and despair.The spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and it's falling to me to bring order out of chaos - or die trying.
