ISBN: 150119089X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
“An eerie, tense, and finely written novel…Readers will grip their chairs” (SFGate.com) as they try to unravel this tale of psychological suspense from the award-winning New York Times bestselling author of Turn of Mind. Jane loses everything when her teenage daughter is killed in a senseless accident. Devastated, she manages to make one tiny stab at a new life: she moves from San Francisco to the seaside town of Half Moon Bay. Jane is inconsolable, and yet, as the months go by, she is able to cobble together some version of a job, of friends, of the possibility of peace. And then, children begin to disappear. And soon, Jane sees her own pain reflected in all the parents in the town. She wonders if she will be able to live through the aching loss, the fear all around her. And as the disappearances continue, she begins to see that what her neighbors are wondering is if it is Jane herself who has unleashed the horror of loss. Alice LaPlante’s “well-crafted novel of psychological suspense” is a chilling story about a mother haunted by her past, a “brooding suspense novel…dark, starkly beautiful…LaPlante uses a seductively dangerous landscape to mirror her heroine’s inner life” (Kirkus Reviews).

A Witch's Call

Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
I'm what you call normal by day, and woo woo by night. As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a "night out" includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local "coven" of small business owners that repeatedly invite me to their meetings-clothing optional. My life is weird. But it's not magic. Magic isn't real. At least, that's what I believed- right up until the moment he walks into my store. Alex Channing is rude, brutish, and a constant pain in my ass. He's also the hottest specimen I've ever seen. Maybe that's why words fail me in his presence. Or maybe it's the pinging feeling in my gut that says he's more than what he seems. But when he miraculously saves me from certain death, at the hand of a monster whose very existence shouldn't even be possible, I'm forced to reconsider what's real. My denial is strong but the reality of who-and what-Alex really is can't be ignored. Neither can the existence of the monsters who hunt me. The truth is, magic is real. And the only thing I'm more in danger of losing than my life-is my heart.

Pacifica
Author: Chris Hunter
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738520681
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Predominantly built as a "bedroom" community for the San Francisco Bay Area, Pacifica's rich and diverse heritage stretches back to the Spanish explorers of the 17th century. Captured here in over 200 vintage images is a tribute to this coastal community and the settlers and pioneers who made it what it is today. From the early 1900s story of the Ocean Shore Railroad to the recent battles over the California red-legged frog, Pacifica has often been shaped by outside forces. Like few other cities, it is primarily the result of a mixture of people and location; blue-collar families from the 1950s discovered Pacifica's oceanside charm, and helped create it. In the 21st century, the wealthy from the Peninsula and Silicon Valley are rediscovering the same charms, choosing Pacifica over the hustle and bustle of the rest of the Bay Area. This book of photographs, culled from the collection of the Pacifica Historical Society, the files of the Pacifica Tribune, and contributions of local residents, offers a glimpse of the history of one of California's "best kept secrets."
