Book Description
Sister Lost is a mystery/suspense novel that was inspired by the true story of Latanisha Carmichael, a toddler who was killed by her own mother in 1979 and her body hidden in a closet for twenty years.

Sister Lost explores those questions from the viewpoint of Minneapolis single mother Lexie Novak, the house's newest owner. As soon as she and her four-year-old daughter Ava move in, the nightmares, the headaches, and the strange electrical sensations begin. Ava, normally a bright and happy girl, throws violent tantrums -- and Lexie catches herself thinking of ways to kill the little shit. Lexie must research the house's history and find the source of the strange phenomena before she and her daughter become the next victims of the house on Washburn Avenue.

Hola Papi
Author: John Paul Brammer
Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
LGBTQ advice columnist John Paul Brammer writes a “wise and charming” (David Sedaris) memoir-in-essays chronicling his journey from a queer, mixed-race kid in America’s heartland to becoming the “Chicano Carrie Bradshaw” of his generation. “A master class of tone and tenderness.” —The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “Should be required reading.” —Los Angeles Times The first time someone called John Paul (JP) Brammer “Papi” was on the gay hookup app Grindr. At first, it was flattering; JP took this as white-guy speak for “hey, handsome.” But then it happened again and again…and again, leaving JP wondering: Who the hell is Papi? Soon, this racialized moniker became the inspiration for his now wildly popular advice column “¡Hola Papi!,” launching his career as the Cheryl Strayed for young queer people everywhere—and some straight people too. JP had his doubts at first—what advice could he really offer while he himself stumbled through his early twenties? Sometimes the best advice comes from looking within, which is what JP does in his column and book—and readers have flocked to him for honest, heartfelt wisdom, and more than a few laughs. In this hilarious, tenderhearted book, JP shares his story of growing up biracial and in the closet in America’s heartland, while attempting to answer some of life’s most challenging questions: How do I let go of the past? How do I become the person I want to be? Is there such a thing as being too gay? Should I hook up with my grade school bully now that he’s out of the closet? Questions we’ve all asked ourselves, surely. ¡Hola Papi! is “a warm, witty compendium of hard-won life lessons,” (Harper’s Bazaar) for anyone—gay, straight, and everything in between—who has ever taken stock of their unique place in the world.

The truth will set you free. For FBI Agent Blake Wilder the price of that truth requires the ultimate sacrifice. Blake Wilder lives with reoccurring nightmares from her grim and mysterious past. Fourteen years ago, her entire family was taken from her. Her parents murdered, and her sister taken. At the age of 22, Blake joined the FBI in hopes of one day discovering the truth behind the mysteries of her own past. Since joining the Bureau, Blake has witnessed and solved many gruesome and terrible cases. Yet, the one case that changed the course of her life seems to have a way of evading the light. When a new clue about her past is uncovered, and she finds that the sister she lost hope in ever finding is alive. For the first time, Blake feels hopeful. But with the organization that murdered her parents after her, and powerful figures aligning against her. Blake has only one choice, to face her trauma and the monsters head on. As she's dealing with that, SPD Deputy Chief Torres is on a warpath, seemingly willing to stop at nothing to indict Blake for murder. And with a new enemy entering the ring-one who is more dangerous than everybody else. The Đavole. A mysterious assassin who is legendary and has never failed to eliminate a target. The only question is... Who is he in town to kill? With more questions than answers about her sister's return from the dead and a host of enemies at the gates looking to destroy her career or outright kill her, Blake doesn't know where to turn, or who she can turn to. With so many uncertainties in the air. The only thing Blake can be certain of is that there is no where that's safe when you're being hunted down by monsters. There's no where left to run. No where left to hide. You just have to do whatever it takes to survive.
