Book Description
Emily Henry meets Grady Hendrix in the funniest and most original romantic comedy of the year: a monstrously feel good cozy fantasy full of love, laughter, lore, and limbs... Now with brand new bonus content! Darla Drake, Duchess of Death, is a legendary monster who has haunted the woods around Camp Clear Creek for years. Until an existential crisis forces her to take a sabbatical from wreaking havoc on pimply teens while she figures out what she really wants from the rest of her (possibly infinite) life. But what does a monster do when her malevolent days are over? For Darla, it’s spending time with the decapitated—yet still overbearing—head of her mother, reading romance novels she steals from campers, and struggling with one monstrous case of melancholy. Until Jarko Murkvale arrives in Clear Creek and turns Darla’s life upside down. Jarko is a conceited, arrogant, infuriating, and unfortunately for Darla, kind of hot. And with the Duchess of Death on the shelf, Jarko has staked his claim on Camp Clear Creek. But Darla refuses to go down without a fight, and so in order to reclaim her territory she challenges Jarko to a series of hunts to see who the most fearsome monster really is. But the more mayhem they cause, the more Darla begins to realize there’s more to this brash monster than she believed...and that Jarko may just be the antidote to her ennui. But there’s a reason Jarko came to Clear Creek, and in order to fill her nine-chambered heart, Darla will have to unravel the mystery of who this closed-off monster really is. And if they can manage to not literally tear each other limb from limb, Darla and Jarko just might find that couples who slay together, stay together. The Mating and Monsters series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 Dating & Dismemberment Book #2 Weddings & Witchcraft

Criminal Dismemberment
Author: Sue Black
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1315355795
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Criminal Dismemberment is the first book to examine dismemberment as a phenomenon in the context of criminal acts. While the number of such dismemberment cases in any given country is often small, the notion of dismemberment captures the imagination, often leading many to question the motivations as to why anyone would perpetrate such an unnatural act. The act of dismemberment, in its original form, referred to cutting, tearing, pulling, wrenching or otherwise separating the limbs from a living being as a form a capital punishment. In today’s society, it has become associated most frequently with the criminal act of sectioning the remains of the dead in an attempt to conceal the death and dispose of the remains or make the process of identification of the deceased more difficult to achieve. Drawing on expertise from leading forensic anthropologists, pathologists, and forensic materials engineers, the book brings together much of the literature on criminal dismemberment—viewing it from the investigative, forensic, and social science perspectives. Key features include: Psychological analysis of the perpetrator Detailed examination of case studies, anonymized from recent investigations Difficulties encountered in a dismemberment investigation Tool mark analysis, including knives and saws, accompanied by over 120 detailed, full-color illustrations and photographs Serves as a unique and useful resource in the investigation of dismembered human remains The diverse backgrounds of the contributors offers a thorough account of such topics as the history of dismemberment, the forensic pathology in such cases, the importance of developing a common vocabulary in terminology used, the legal admissibility in dismemberment cases. As such, Criminal Dismemberment will serve as a comprehensive reference for students and practitioners alike.

Book Description
In this tantalizing box set, dive into the unexpected life of a vlogger turned vampire, where love, danger, and eternal intrigue intertwine across three captivating books. Follow her journey from the vibrant streets of New Orleans to the shadowy corners of vampire society as she navigates newfound immortality, a legendary romance with Dracula, and threats lurking in the night. With a blend of humor, heart, and a dash of fang-filled drama, this series will leave you thirsting for more. Dating Dracula Yesterday, I was a wannabe journalist hunting for a juicy story in a seedy vampire club. Today, I'm the newest member of the undead country club, thanks to Dracula himself. He’s not just a vampire, he’s the vampire—a legend wrapped in an enigma with a seductive smile and hypnotic eyes that are impossible to ignore. Especially when he claims I’m his soulmate. Now, navigating my new immortal life involves more than just adjusting to fangs; it's about resisting (or not) the allure of the most infamous vampire ever. But first, I have to settle the score with the vampire who tried to murder me in the first place. Loving Dracula Just when I thought I had a handle on my new nocturnal lifestyle, I’m hit with the next challenge—introducing my soulmate and love of my life, Dracula, to my family. Think your family dinners are tense? Try bringing home the Prince of Darkness himself. And if that isn't enough, the Queen of Vampires has sent an inquisitor to question us about her mate’s untimely demise. Apparently, self-defense doesn’t fly in vampire court. My life has become really dangerous since dying. Who knew eternity would involve not just surviving family gatherings, but also evading the wrath of a vengeful vampire queen? Marrying Dracula My life has taken yet another unexpected turn, and this time, it’s taken me to a dungeon cell in jolly old England, far from the wedding bells I imagined. Separated from Dracula and facing the vampire queen's fury, I'm ready to fight for our love and a chance at forever. It’s do-or-die time—quite literally. I’m not about to lose Vlad, not when our forever is at stake. The queen is about to learn how far I'll go to protect my happily ever after. It might be time to put her back in her grave—permanently.
