Book Description
When a teenage girl gets a fresh start in NYC, she encounters the boy of her dreams—and an otherworldly curse—in this YA paranormal romance debut. Life hasn’t been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Conner, so starting over in New York City might be just what she needs. But transferring to a posh Upper East Side prep school isn’t so easy. Friendly faces are few and far between. And yet there’s one in particular that Emma is irresistibly drawn to: Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight. But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can’t stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma’s been having the oddest dreams: visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.

Book Description
Let Sleeping Warlocks Lie... Magic, Mischief, and Kilts! A modern-day Scottish paranormal romance by NYT Bestselling Author Michelle M. Pillow. Iain MacGregor knows how his warlock family feels about outsiders discovering the truth of their magical powers and shifter abilities: it's forbidden. That doesn't seem to stop him from having accidental magical discharges whenever Jane Turner is around. The woman has captured his attention, and, apparently, his magic and other "parts" don't seem to care what the rules are, or that the object of his affection might be his undoing. Jane Turner has secrets, ones she doesn't care to share with the hunky Highlander who acts strangely whenever she is around. Haunted by more than her past, spirits and phantom bagpipes surround her. Is Iain the key to stopping fate, or will Jane's destiny finally catch up with her? From the Highlands of Scotland to the valleys of Wisconsin... Book Two of the Warlocks MacGregor® series by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About the Warlocks MacGregor® Series People know magic is fake--card tricks and illusions, magicians and entertainers. But there is an older magick, a powerful force hidden from modern eyes, buried in folklore and myths, remembered by the few who practice the old ways and respect the lessons of past generations. The term "warlock" is a variation on the Old English word waerloga, primarily used by the Scots. It meant traitor, monster or deceiver. This fiction-based family includes males and females of magick. The MacGregors do not agree with how history has labeled them, or other supernaturals. To them, warlock means magick, family, and immortality. This series is not a portrayal of modern-day witchcraft or those who hold such beliefs. The MacGregors are a magickal class all their own. Warning: Contains yummy, hot, mischievous MacGregors who may or may not be wearing clothing and who are almost certainly up to no good on their quest to find true love. Praise For Spellbound 5 Stars! "[The] story is fun, adventurous, swoon worthy and so much more. If you haven't started this series, do it now!" Mary Dean, paranormal author (2021) 5 Stars!

Book Description
With two kinds of magick at odds inside her and two gorgeous men vying for her attention, Tammy Jo Trask is used to being pulled in opposite directions. But in the latest Southern Witch novel she’ll have to make some serious decisions—like how she intends to stay alive. Tammy Jo’s romance with the wizard Bryn Lyons is on hold while her ex-husband is in town trying to remind her of the good old days. Choosing between them isn’t easy, and it doesn’t help that a skeletal creature is spying on her, a faery knight is hunting her, and she just made friends with Evangeline Rhodes—a rich witch who thinks her own family is trying to kill her. When Evangeline disappears under suspicious circumstances, Tammy Jo is determined to find out what happened. As she uncovers a secret more dangerous—and personal—than she could have imagined, she also discovers that, in both love and magic, you can’t stay neutral forever.

Book Description
Peribology seeks to discover the etymology of symbolism. If a gift is given in a distant future; and no one knows how to interpret the secret message, does the traditional meaning carry over subconsciously? Furthermore, does this symbolism unfold in the human experience in other ways? Peribology seeks to uncover secrets from bygone eras, and encourage those who are willing, to breathe life again into ye age-old, archaic Floriography. Peribology will set the stage for modern flower talk from these gathered sources and on-going research. Since scientific inquiry admonishes the old flower language, Peribology rationalizes meaning not on poetry, but on the natural effects nature's treasures have on the five senses and the human psyche. If you want to join the cause, we welcome you into the restoration movement we call Peribology, the modern flower tongue.

The Last Harvest
Author: Lucien Mars
Publisher: eBookIt.com

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
What if your beliefs about reality were wrong? The Secret History of Angels, Demons, Aliens and the militarized Culture of Fear in these final days. Lucien Mars reveals the secret history of humanity contained in an ancient ME stone, or computer crystal, known as a "flaming stone" GirKu chronicle. Included are the galactic wars that led to the Fall described in the bible and why alien cultures such as the Anunnaki and others want to enslave Earth. For the first time the full history of Lucifer and the Fall is revealed, with a stunning conclusion affecting everyone as the fate of humanity hangs in the final balance. Uncover the mystery of the Dark Goddess, Lucifera, mother of the genetic re-creator known as Lucifer, who plays a leading role in this cosmic drama. The book provides a blistering expose that explains how the Illuminati were genetically related to Lucifer and spawned the socio-fascist New World Order. The contents may shock your conceptions of reality as the final earth-shattering pieces of the cosmic puzzle are being instituted to depopulate the planet and recolonize it with a hybrid race of super humanoids, designed to serve and worship the new World Order. How will you respond to Humanity's Eviction Notice Engraved upon the Anonymous Georgia Guidestones? The Illuminati Plan they have prepared for you is summarized on the monolithic Georgia Guidestones erected in Elbert County anonymously in 1979 in a faux Stonehenge fashion. Engraved on the stones are ten neo-fascist commandments, politically spun into Orwellian "instructions." More importantly they unveil a fascist plan for eugenic extermination and global genocide. The first commandment reveals all the rest: "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature." Since the world's population now stands at 7.8 billion, what shall be done with the expendable 7.3 billion? The alien answer seems the most obvious: First institute species integration, followed by militarized assimilation and final hybridization of 500,000,000 aliens over time and systematically exterminate the rest. That's The Plan, carved in stone for all to see. So, the question remains: Are they humanity's guide stones, or tombstones? Find out inside...

Pages : 247
Book Description
As the first collection of studies to explore the use of edutainment within festival experiences, this book extends current knowledge and understanding of festival experiences. Relying on a series of international case studies, this book offers readers unique and important insights that emphasise the benefit of edutainment activities for enhanced audience learning, engagement, and festival satisfaction. Although there is an ample amount of studies concerning festival experiences, as well as the use of edutainment within tourism, few have explored the use of edutainment within festival experiences. This oversight has created a lack in knowledge and understanding, despite the clear benefits of enjoyable learning experiences - edutainment. Moreover, it has created a gap between academia and practice, as the contributing authors have demonstrated, festivals are utilising edutainment to enhance their audience experience, yet scholars have failed to acknowledge this. In response to this oversight, the editors have assembled a carefully curated collection of chapters that include a wide range of international case studies, from science and food festivals to heritage and dark festivals. Through a variety of methodologies and methods, including interviews, observations, databases, netnography, and social media analysis in both face-to-face and digital interactions involving the festival participants, organisers, and other relevant stakeholders, the contributing authors have provided a well-rounded global perspective on how edutainment is applied within festival experiences. This book is valuable for scholars, festival organisers, policy makers and students interested in or studying festivals, events, edutainment and/or experience design. Other tourism industry scholars, professionals and students of, for example, visitor attractions, museums, theatre and hospitality services, may also find this book of value considering their established use of edutainment within their sectors.
