Book Description
This “fast-paced, action-packed” paranormal thriller takes you into the darkest corners of the vampire realm—and a bloody battle for survival (Jess Haines). Kat Redding is the very thing she hunts: a vampire, thirsting for blood, capable of killing any creature unlucky enough to get in her path. The difference is Kat kills her own kind in order to protect human Purebloods. And she is very good at what she does. Good enough to earn the nickname Lady Death—and the burning hatred of every nightwalker around. When a vampire Count tries to merge his House with a werewolf cult to create a force of terrifying power, Kat makes it her business to stop him. Now she’s taking on a den of weres and a ruthless vampire more dangerous than any she’s encountered before. She has the weapons, the skill, and the will to get the job done. But that may not be enough to eliminate the Count before her own dark nature arises within her—and costs her whatever is left of her humanity . . . Featuring “a complex, compelling character” who can break hearts even faster than she can tear them out, this is a debut supernatural adventure you won’t be able to put down (Alexandra Ivy, New York Times–bestselling author) “Fans of Underworld will not want to miss this.” —Jess Haines, author of Deceived by the Others

At Night We Walk in Circles
Author: Daniel Alarcón
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101622989
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
A breathtaking, suspenseful story of one man’s obsessive search to find the truth of another man’s downfall, from the author of The King Is Always Above the People, which was longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction. Nelson’s life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man, his brother has left their South American country, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother, and his acting career can’t seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President, a legendary play by Nelson’s hero, Henry Nunez, leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that’s when the real trouble begins. The tour takes Nelson out of the shelter of the city and across a landscape he’s never seen, which still bears the scars of the civil war. With each performance, Nelson grows closer to his fellow actors, becoming hopelessly entangled in their complicated lives, until, during one memorable performance, a long-buried betrayal surfaces to force the troupe into chaos. Nelson’s fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator, a young man obsessed with Nelson’s story—and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp, vivid, and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices.

A child explores her neighborhood on a late-night walk with her dad, finding delight and comfort in moments of quiet and the warm windows into other people’s lives. When a little girl can’t sleep one night, her dad asks if she’d like to go for a walk. They tiptoe through the silent house and step out into the dark. It’s strange and exciting to be out so late. Walking down the street, the girl can see inside the lit-up windows of apartment buildings and houses where people’s lives are unfolding. Kids are having a pillow fight in one house, while a family has gathered for a festive meal in another. She and her dad reach the still-busy shopping area, walking past restaurants and enticing store windows, then stop for a tranquil moment in the park before returning home. Sara O’Leary has captured a child’s nighttime wonder as she explores her neighborhood and comes to the comforting realization that she belongs. Ellie Arscott’s illustrations, luminous and rich in color, perfectly complement the story.
