Pages : 61
Book Description
One minute I was standing at the Gates of Heaven expecting to enter, the next thing I know, I’m thrown down into the Outer Ring of Hell to Level Seven where murderers and others who have committed acts of brutality go. I’m Chase Decker and I’ve been coerced into running the bounty hunter division for Lucifer, hunting down rogue demons who’ve escaped from Hell. My payment? I won’t have to suffer the rest of eternity in a vat of hot tar or be tormented by hellhounds. It sounded like it might be an okay gig until, Layla, the Chief of Evil’s daughter disappeared. Rumor has it, that his beautiful offspring plans on forcibly taking over her father’s throne with the help of her demon pals. So much for a quiet afterlife and fresh start to redeem my past. Now, I’m thrust into a new kind of Hell, a vile and dangerous place on Earth called Lost Vegas to find her and drag her home. Did I mention Lucifer that I've been ordered to take Hairy Mac, the leather-wearing-talking Dog-God of the Underworld with me?

Pages : 132
Book Description
Everyone thinks they know the story of Las Vegas: the showgirls, the gambling, the mob. But Las Vegas has always been much more. Families have lived here since its founding in 1905. After 1931, legalized gaming became the big tourist draw, and following World War II, the town began to market itself as "America's Playground." That is when the famed Las Vegas Strip came into its own and downtown was dubbed "Glitter Gulch." These vintage postcards show how Las Vegas evolved from a dusty railroad town into the "Entertainment Capital of the World," while remaining a city filled with families and pioneering souls.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
In post-apocalyptic America, five hundred years in the future, famine, war, and chaos have created a hell on earth. Outside the isolated city of Lost Vegas, violent skirmishes among the Native Americans – who have retaken their ancestral lands – claim lives by day, while ancient predators awakened during the Age of Darkness hunt humans by night. Inside the city, criminals, the impoverished, and the deformed are burned at the stake weekly. Among those ruthless enough to survive is seventeen-year-old Aveline, a street rat skilled in fighting whose father runs the criminal underworld. On the night of her father’s unexpected death, a stranger offers to pay off her father’s debts, if she agrees to become the guardian of Tiana Hanover, the daughter of the most powerful man in Lost Vegas. Caught between her father’s debtors and his enemies, Aveline reluctantly accepts. Expecting a pampered princess, Aveline soon discovers sheltered, sweet Tiana is little more than a slave – and harboring a secret the wealthy Hanover’s will kill to keep. Little does she know that her fate, and Tiana’s, have been bound since long before they met. Will Aveline’s street smarts be enough to keep them both alive?
