"Rock’n’roll with a dash or two of murder." —Jeneva Rose, New York Times bestselling author Becoming the star is easier when the rest of your band is dead… All drummer Vienna Taylor ever wanted was to make music. If that came with fame, she’d take it—as long as her best friend, guitarist Madison Pierce, was sharing the spotlight and singing lead. And with their new all-female pop rock band gaining traction, soon everyone would hear their songs… Except, on the way to an event, the Bittersweet’s van careened off an icy mountain road during a blizzard—leaving one member dead and another severely injured. In order to survive the frigid night, the rest took shelter in a nearby abandoned cabin. But Vienna’s dreams devolved into a terrifying nightmare as, one by one, her fellow band members met a gruesome end…and Madison simply vanished in the night. What really happened to the Bittersweet? Did Vienna’s closest friend finally decide to take center stage on her own terms? She doesn’t want to believe it. But guilty people run.

Book Description
Olly Smith-Nakamura had it all until an unexpected financial setback forces her dads to leave their idyllic life in San Francisco behind in search of a fresh start. Relocating to a small West Virginia town where families like hers are considered an anomaly was not how she planned to spend her senior year of high school. Her grandmother tries to sell her on the merits of her new home, but she just sees more reasons to leave than to stay. No one knows Ariel Hall has a secret. No one except the BFF who broke her heart. Sharing her truth isn’t on her agenda because unless she’s throwing strikes on the softball field, she prefers to fly under the radar. Olly Smith-Nakamura is everything she’s not: out, proud, and in your face. They don’t get along at all. So why does kissing her seem like more fun than butting heads?

The Bishop
Author: Emgee
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728393434
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
The Bishop is based loosely around the game of chess but essentially it deals with the people involved in this particular microcosm of society and the clash that occurs when three different cultures collide – the American, the British and the Australian. Madison Chatfield, a New York journalist whose career has stalled after a regrettable incident in the office when she is sent off on a graveyard assignment to England. Thanks to her unwavering ambition and her eye for a scoop, she meets up with Tobias Byron, the reigning champion; a reclusive but very opinionated Englishman and Gary Bridgewater, a young, laid-back Australian who flaunts all the establishment rules but, who is in fact the future of the game. The story follows these three characters through the relationships they strike up with each other - thanks primarily to the game which takes them from England to Boston and New York and then back again to the UK - and is sprinkled with a healthy dose of pertinent political and social commentary as it makes its way - via the inevitable betrayal of trust - towards its rather unexpected conclusion.
