Of Blood and Sorrow
Author: Valerie Wilson Wesley
Publisher: One World
ISBN: 0345504933
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Valerie Wilson Wesley’s private investigator, Tamara Hayle, whom the Houston Chronicle calls “smart, sexy, tough but tender,” has earned enthusiastic acclaim from reviewers and readers alike. Now Newark, New Jersey’s savviest detective confronts the one case she never saw coming–and discovers how ties that bind can easily become a noose. Tamara Hayle can’t believe that her life is this good. New York’s most powerful businessman wants her to work for him, her new lover seems caring and supportive, and her son, Jamal, is thriving. But as Tamara sardonically observes, “When things stir that easy, there’s always something lumpy at the bottom of the pot.” Enter Lilah Love, an old acquaintance who begs Tamara to find her missing child. Tamara, however, is wary of Lilah, who attracts mayhem and murder like an alley cat attracts fleas. Next up is Basil Dupre, Tamara’s outlaw ex-lover, who always brings passion–and chaos–when he strolls into Tamara’s life. Suddenly Tamara’s safe world isn’t so secure, especially when Jamal witnesses a brutal murder and becomes the prime suspect. As the body count rises, Tamara and Jamal will follow a long-forgotten secret into a terrifying confrontation with love gone bad, trust turned lethal, and a past hungry to claim more lives.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
The battle between vicious spirits and strong-willed queens that started in the award-winning The Queen of Blood and continued in the powerful The Reluctant Queen comes to a stunning conclusion in The Queen of Sorrow, the final volume of Sarah Beth Durst’s Queens of Renthia trilogy. Queen Daleina has yearned to bring peace and prosperity to her beloved forest home—a hope that seemed doomed when neighboring forces invaded Aratay. Now, with the powerful Queen Naelin ruling by her side, Daleina believes that her dream of ushering in a new era can be realized, even in a land plagued by malevolent nature spirits who thirst for the end of human life. And then Naelin’s children are kidnapped by spirits. Nothing is more important to her than her family, and Naelin would rather watch the world burn than see her children harmed. Blaming the defeated Queen Merecot of Semo for the kidnapping, Naelin is ready to start a war—and has the power to do it. But Merecot has grander plans than a bloody battle with her southern neighbors. Taking the children is merely one step in a plot to change the future of all Renthia, either by ending the threat of spirits once and for all . . . or plunging the world into chaos.

Crying Spells
Author: Bethany Moore
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781731536945
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
"Crying Spells" is Bethany Moore's fourth self-published work of poetry, following her previous work's themes of self-discovery, spirituality, searching, and coming to terms with those darkest nights of the soul. Poems follow the artist through her twenties and early thirties as she dissects and digests the struggles of coming of age and sorting out one's boundaries, limitations, as well as developing and establishing one's true values and morals. Reviews:"When I read Bethany's prior collection of poetry, Weather Magick, I was impressed, sure that future works from this author would continue to be on par with her previous work. However, Crying Spells is actually a notable departure from Moore's prior work, in that it is extremely comfortable within its own established voice, allowing the words to take ownership over their author's unique tone and style, while expanding upon the format as a whole to create something that is both confident and questioning -- this is extremely rare for such an early entry to a volume of creative writing. Crying Spells is not just another book of poetry, but a milestone for an author who could have easily become lost in the sea of her colleagues, and instead, chose to create her own lane that is both respectful to form and completely independent of it, a feat that many writers never achieve. Bethany Moore's poetry has, within just a few years, evolved from extremely enjoyable, to flat-out undeniable." - Ray McMillin, Cherry City Studios"Bethany Moore is on fire. The poems in Crying Spells have such a sense of urgency that I sat down to read a few and found myself reading the book cover to cover in one sitting. Moore's poems are at once assertive and compassionate, and as real as they are full of magic. This collection of poems, spanning over a decade of the poet's life seem meant for each other. A collection not just of words or ideas, but a large cumulative story of the foundation of bone, the vulnerability of blood and the inevitability of sorrow and how we all face these things." - Brice Maiurro, Editor, South Broadway Ghost Society"These pieces are clear-sighted and smoothly-flowing, looking at everything, feelings, subjects, and objections without too much complication, and the book reads quickly and smoothly because of that talent without missing any of the hot-hearted pains and points. Moore's words have a sense of clarity, like raindrops swirling on your windshield in a rainstorm, or sparks from an eager campfire on a dark winter's night when your heart starts knocking. Moore's work has a rare hospitality." - Zack Kopp, Fire Diner

The Fury of God
Author: Jeremy J. Lundmark
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490836349
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Is God loving? The Bible says that God is love; however, it also portrays a God that floods the earth, takes the lives of the firstborn in Egypt, and lashes out time and again in His fury. How can a God of love be synonymous with the God of fury displayed in the Old Testament? Are we fools? “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowled≥ fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Pro 1:7). Twice in the Proverbs we’re told that the beginning of knowledge and wisdom is the fear of the Lord. Is it possible that we have become altogether ignorant simply because we’ve tossed out the Bible’s basic teaching on God’s fury? The Fury of God penetrates the paradox and shows that we cannot truly understand God’s love until we fully understand His fury. If believers today are truly abiding in God’s Word, they will come face-to-face with the fury of God, and its truth will bring satisfaction to their souls. God’s people must know the truth. They longingly desire it. The truth is that our God is a consuming fire. He is a jealous God. He is a holy God. He is an unchanging God. He is a triune God. Our God is a God of fury. It is that God, the God of the Scriptures, whom I hope to resurrect in the hearts and minds of His people with this book.
