Book Description
“This has become my second favorite series right behind Harry Potter. I will continue to read this series again and again and be sad every time I get to the end. Worth every second!” – Nathan F. From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the exciting finale in the Aunare Chronicles When Amihanna di Aetes first got to Sel’Ani, she never thought she’d have the full support of the Aunare, but she does. She never thought that she’d fall in love, get married, or become the High Queen, but she did. She never thought that she’d be planning something so stupid as her return to Earth, but that’s exactly what she’s doing. With the Alliance broken, SpaceTech has fully retreated to their home planet, but the chaos of war will descend again. Amihanna and Lorne know they don’t much time to plan their next move. Everything in their guts tells them to head straight to Earth but going into the heart of SpaceTech’s territory is stupid, reckless, and very likely deadly. Amihanna and Lorne have one chance to end this war quickly, protect the Aunare, free the Earther’s from SpaceTech’s rule, and save Declan, Ahiga, and the missing ABQ Crew members. Trying to do it all feels impossible, but Amihanna has never been one to back down from a challenge, especially when defeating SpaceTech was never just her mission. It’s her destiny. hr Binge the complete Aunare Chronicles series now! Book 1: Off Planet Book 2: Off Balance Book 3: In Command Book 4: On Mission Book 5: On Destiny hr “The action was non-stop and the author crafted an extremely satisfying ending.” – Sheila Kay, Author “The Aunare Chronicles has been a thrilling sci-fi adventure from start to finish with enough romance to swoon and action to delight. On Destiny is the stunning conclusion that far from disappoints, leaving the series in victory and the reader satisfied. A must-read for any and all fans of space, big tech overlords, alien kingdoms, and the ever-inspiring grit of humanity.” – Angela, Pooled Ink Reviews “I have read both the Alpha Girl and Aunare Chronicles series by Aileen Erin, and she is honestly one of the very few authors I can say I’ve reread her books more than once... If you’ve followed this series, you won’t be disappointed... Plenty of twist and turns along with the return of some characters from the first book in the series. [It’s] the epic battle that everything was leading up to.” – T. Rohring

I thought escaping Earth, Abaddon, and SpaceTech would mean I was safe, but I’m not. The Aunare don’t want me here, mostly because if I’m here that means my betrothal to the heir to the Aunare High Throne is back on. I would call it off, but I can’t seem to make myself say the words because Lorne is the heir, and he’s the one holding me together. Every time I wake up screaming, Lorne is there.

Everything in me is drawn to Lorne, the man that haunted my dreams, the man that lures me in with his every look. Lorne makes me forget that the Aunare hate me enough to send assassins to kill me.

Book Description
Sometimes my life doesn’t feel real to me. It’s so different—infinitely better—than anything I had on Earth. I’m not running or hiding or afraid anymore. I’m not dealing with the trauma of my past. I’m not alone because I have Lorne. Every time I look into his eyes, everything else fades away—the war, the fight ahead, the fact that we have so much work to do if we want to win. I see him and I forget that SpaceTech is moving against us, but it’s not just me I’m trying to save anymore. It’s the Aunare. And yet, the Aunare High Council isn’t listening to a word I say. I’m the only one who seems to understand the danger that we’re up against, and that if we don’t start acting soon, it’ll be too late. I want to dissolve the High Council, but I’m not sure I should. I don’t even know if I can. But I know that SpaceTech is closing in. Their war ships are stationed at the edges of our colonies’ territory, and I can feel the fight growing closer every minute of every day. The time for us to act is coming, and I’m not sure how much more politicking I can do. That’s not who I am. It’s not who I’m meant to be. I can only be a fighter. A warrior. A queen. If no one else will fight with me, then I will do what I need to take down SpaceTech. Because I’m Amihanna di Aetes, the future High Queen of the Aunare, and I won’t quit. Not ever. hr From Aileen Erin, the USA Today Bestselling Author of the Alpha Girl series, comes an epic adventure in space: The Aunare Chronicles!

I’m always wondering what will happen next.” - Tracy, Goodreads “Amihanna is a fantastic heroine. Independent but loyal to her team and partner. Brave, strong, in spirit and muscle, and someone who leads by example.... If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would!”- Sheila K, Goodreads

Female Serial Killers
Author: Peter Vronsky
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780425213902
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
In this fascinating book, Peter Vronsky exposes and investigates the phenomenon of women who kill—and the political, economic, social and sexual implications buried with each victim. How many of us are even remotely prepared to imagine our mothers, daughters, sisters or grandmothers as fiendish killers? For centuries we have been conditioned to think of serial murderers and psychopathic predators as men—with women registering low on our paranoia radar. Perhaps that’s why so many trusting husbands, lovers, family friends, and children have fallen prey to “the female monster.” From history’s earliest recorded cases of homicidal females to Irma Grese, the Nazi Beast of Belsen, from Britain’s notorious child-slayer Myra Hindley to ‘Honeymoon Killer’ Martha Beck to the sensational cult of Aileen Wournos—the first female serial killer-as-celebrity—to cult killers, homicidal missionaries, and our pop-culture fascination with the sexy femme fatale, Vronsky not only challenges our ordinary standards of good and evil but also defies our basic accepted perceptions of gender role and identity.
