She's sworn off love. But fate has other plans. In a kingdom full of lies, her heart will be torn in two. The Dark Witch killed one of Ellie Parrish's sisters. Now Ellie is determined to save her youngest sister as well. This time from their own vile parents. Through adoption, Ellie can free her from them. But it may require her to enter into that one contract that has screamed of lies and misery her entire life. Marriage. An offer from her closest friend, Micah, is tempting . . . in so many ways. But his love is only a reminder of what she's incapable of giving-her heart. However, a chance meeting with the Prince of Terra, and an unimaginable invitation, may give her another option. A chance to convince him to change the law so an unwed woman can adopt. She'll simply need to keep herself from falling for him while doing so. In a kingdom full of lies, everyone has someone to protect, everyone has something to hide, and with whispers of the Dark Witch's return, no one knows what evil is coming.

Book Description
Enjoy this humorous urban fantasy series with an antihero demon by author Debra Dunbar *** A gemstone might destroy the world before I get the chance to do it myself. Interdimensional rifts are opening, spilling supernatural creatures into the world of the humans. Locating and closing the gateways takes two—an angel and a demon. It’s the opportunity I’ve been waiting for, the common goal that might allow demons and angels to put aside nearly three million years of hate. But there’s a stolen gem I need to find to pay off a debt—a gem with a dark power that could shatter any hope of peace between heaven and hell. I’ll have to decide where to focus my energies and choose who to trust, or a war will descend on us that rivals the one that originally split the angelic host. *** If you like Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, Shayne Silvers, Hailey Edwards, or Yasmine Galenorn, you'll love this series. The Imp world includes demons, angels, werewolves, elves, vampires, and more.

Book Description
I hunt demons.I don't work for them. And I promised my mom one thing before she was murdered: Under no circumstances, would I ever go near the high demons. But I'll break that promise over and over again if it helps me avenge her death. When my only lead turns to ash in the middle of demon territory, I'm suddenly a dead witch walking. Violence in Samael's club is an automatic death sentence... unless he can use you. And it turns out that the most powerful demon in the country has a use for little ol' me. Demons are being slaughtered. His demons. And as a bounty hunter, it's up to me to find out who would dare hurt his people. I've got two weeks to find the killer, and if I fail, I'm bonded to Samael. Forever. Samael's certain that I'll be his, but I'm not the kinda girl who risks her freedom for a demon. I'm the kinda girl who won't let anyone get in the way of her vengeance- not even the Machiavellian control freak who thinks he can run my life. The problem? I've pissed the wrong people off. Now I'm the one being hunted, and someone's coming for me with everything they have. But I'm never more dangerous than when my back is up against the wall. And I'm ready to come out swinging.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 703
Book Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood and Ash series… Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal… Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her. A Choice…. Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation. A Secret… But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book The renowned New Yorker writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist delivers a hilarious, poignant, and profoundly moving tale of living, loving, and aging in America today At Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, doctors have noticed a marked uptick in Alzheimer’s patients. People who seemed perfectly lucid just a day earlier suddenly show signs of advanced dementia. Is it just normal aging, or an epidemic? Is it a coincidence, or a secret terrorist plot? In the looking-glass world of Half the Kingdom—where terrorist paranoia and end-of-the-world hysteria mask deeper fears of mortality; where parents’ and their grown children's feelings vacillate between frustration and tenderness; and where the broken medical system leads one character to quip, “Kafka wrote slice-of-life fiction”—all is familiar and yet slightly askew. Lore Segal masterfully interweaves her characters’ lives—lives that, for good or for ill, all converge in Cedar's ER—into a funny, tragic, and tender portrait of how we live today. “Lore Segal may have come closer than anyone to writing The Great American Novel.” —The New York Times “I always feel in her work such a sense of toughness and humor . . . Her writing is sad and funny, and that makes it more of both.” —Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad

Brad Meltzer--author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Fate--returns with his most thrilling and emotionally powerful novel to date. In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world's most famous murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. That weapon is still lost to history. In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world's greatest hero: Superman. And like Cain's murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found. Until now. Today in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Cal Harper comes face-to-face with his family's greatest secret: his long-lost father, who's been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel's 1932 murder. But before Cal can ask a single question, he and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the anicent markings of Cain. And so begins the chase for the world's first murder weapon. What does Cain, history's greatest villain, have to do with Superman, the world's greatest hero? And what do two murders, committed thousands of years apart, have in common? This is the mystery at the heart of Brad Meltzer's riveting and utterly intriguing new thriller
