Book Description
Genny Dupont has a lot on her plate. Between working full time, training to be the best vampire slayer she can be, and preparing for her first trip, she hasn’t had much chance to come to terms with the recent attempt on her and her sister Chloe’s lives. She should be planning how to defeat their enemies. She should be helping Chloe manage her trauma. She should also be trying to mend her friendship with her ex-boyfriend JP, especially since he’s accompanying her to France to testify at his uncle’s murder trial. She should be doing a lot of things she isn’t. But the one thing Genny cannot do, the thing she shoves from her mind, although it never stays away long, is admit her feelings for Quinn. Acting on them would only complicate her life further, and undoubtedly drive a permanent wedge between her and JP. But even more concerning, Quinn is a vampire, one who has suffered more in his 139 years than she can imagine. It’s weird enough that a slayer and a vampire have grown so close. Anything more could only end in tragedy. At least that’s what she’s been told by other immortals. It’s best if they just stay friends. That’s what she keeps reminding herself, but these feelings aren’t going away. If anything they’re growing. And they terrify her a lot more than the Vampire Assembly who still wants her dead.

Blood Ground
Author: Elizabeth Elbourne
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773522299
Category : Africa, Southern
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
In Blood Ground Elizabeth Elbourne looks at the relationship between the Khoekhoe, the British empire, and the London Missionary Society in the early nineteenth century, a time of intense conflict in which different groups competed to mobilize Christianity for their own political ends. She explores the social history of the early missionary movement as well the political impact of British evangelicals, arguing that religious change in southern Africa can only be understood in the material context of ethnic conflict and bitter struggles over land and labour. In doing so she reintegrates the history of religion into the mainstream historical narrative of South Africa, offering a view of Christianity not as a monolithic system but as a language subject to interpretation and highly politicized conflicts over meaning.

Blood on Her Hands
Author: Tanya Farber
Publisher: Jonathan Ball Publishers
ISBN: 186842927X
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Murder has always fascinated us, and when women are the masterminds, the intrigue grows exponentially. Not only are female murderers much rarer than male killers, but their crimes usually also involve a more sophisticated type of plotting. In Blood on her hands, award-winning journalist Tanya Farber investigates the lives, minds and motivations of some of South Africa's most notorious female murderers, from the poisonous nurse Daisy de Melker, to the privileged but deeply disturbed Najwa Petersen, to the mysterious Joey Harhoff who died before revealing where the bodies of her victims (including her own niece) were. Farber sets each case against the backdrop of the different eras and regions of 20th and early 21st century South Africa the women operated in. Her writing style is lighter than the subject matter might suggest and Blood on Her Hands will keep you reading until late at night – probably with your light on. The women featured also include: Dina Rodrigues, Phoenix Racing Cloud Theron, Marlene Lehnberg, Chane van Heerden and Celiwe Mbokazi.
