Book Description
Tropical "paradise". Jailbreak shenanigans. Shotgun wedding from hell. Just another day in paradise for our favorite disaster witch. Frankie Bonny's idea of a vacation? Storming a supernatural Alcatraz called All Hallows Keep. Breaking in should be a cakewalk, right? Wrong. So very, very wrong. Nothing says "Welcome to Paradise" like tripping over a corpse. Throw in more bodies than a zombie convention, trigger-happy shifter guards, and a Betty White doppelganger spiking the wedding punch, and you've got Frankie's idea of a good time. But our girl's not flying solo. She's packing a motley crew that makes the Avengers look like amateurs: Three leather-clad vampires (because one's never enough) A grandma with a furry little problem An explosives expert (what could go wrong?) One smoking hot merman Her mouthy Jack Russell familiar, Dex And... a hamster. (Don't ask.) Mission impossible: Spring the innocent, solve the murders, and avoid becoming permanent residents of supernatural Sing Sing. All while dodging a surprise trip down the aisle. Will Frankie and her band of misfits pull off the great escape? Or is this tropical "getaway" about to become a permanent staycation? Hold onto your hat, sunshine. Normal vacations are for suckers, and Frankie's just getting started. If you love a paranormal cozy series with a kick ass witch who can take care of business even without her magic, then welcome to the Marina Witches Mysteries. Perfect for fans of Misty Bane, Amanda M. Lee, and Lily Harper Hart, as well as Dionne Lister, Morgana Best, and Jane Hinchey. Join Frankie and Dex as they take on dark forces and injustice along with Frankie's hot, but equally mysterious, neighbor. With Zane around, the main danger is to Frankie's heart.

The Wolf of Wall Street
Author: Jordan Belfort
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0553904248
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort’s own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street. In the 1990s, Belfort became one of the most infamous kingpins in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. It’s an extraordinary story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent: the tale of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices to making hundreds of millions—until it all came crashing down. Praise for The Wolf of Wall Street “Raw and frequently hilarious.”—The New York Times “A rollicking tale of [Jordan Belfort’s] rise to riches as head of the infamous boiler room Stratton Oakmont . . . proof that there are indeed second acts in American lives.”—Forbes “A cross between Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese’s GoodFellas . . . Belfort has the Midas touch.”—The Sunday Times (London) “Entertaining as pulp fiction, real as a federal indictment . . . a hell of a read.”—Kirkus Reviews

The Last Nomad
Author: Shugri Said Salh
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1643751743
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
A remarkable and inspiring true story that "stuns with raw beauty" about one woman's resilience, her courageous journey to America, and her family's lost way of life. Winner of the 2022 Gold Nautilus Award, Multicultural & Indigenous Category Born in Somalia, a spare daughter in a large family, Shugri Said Salh was sent at age six to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert. The last of her family to learn this once-common way of life, Salh found herself chasing warthogs, climbing termite hills, herding goats, and moving constantly in search of water and grazing lands with her nomadic family. For Salh, though the desert was a harsh place threatened by drought, predators, and enemy clans, it also held beauty, innovation, centuries of tradition, and a way for a young Sufi girl to learn courage and independence from a fearless group of relatives. Salh grew to love the freedom of roaming with her animals and the powerful feeling of community found in nomadic rituals and the oral storytelling of her ancestors. As she came of age, though, both she and her beloved Somalia were forced to confront change, violence, and instability. Salh writes with engaging frankness and a fierce feminism of trying to break free of the patriarchal beliefs of her culture, of her forced female genital mutilation, of the loss of her mother, and of her growing need for independence. Taken from the desert by her strict father and then displaced along with millions of others by the Somali Civil War, Salh fled first to a refugee camp on the Kenyan border and ultimately to North America to learn yet another way of life. Readers will fall in love with Salh on the page as she tells her inspiring story about leaving Africa, learning English, finding love, and embracing a new horizon for herself and her family. Honest and tender, The Last Nomad is a riveting coming-of-age story of resilience, survival, and the shifting definitions of home.
