Book Description
A failed crime investigator turned interior decorator. A strange new client who smells like rotting corpse. A creepy old house known as Murder Manor. What could go wrong? Failed crime investigator, turned interior decorator, Violet Vance, moves to a new town, where she gets a big surprise. Well... several of them. Okay, so things aren't going so well for Violet Vance, the one who'd just lost her dream job, and yeah, she has been called the worst investigator to ever live, but that's all about to change. Born into a family of witches, Violet is not one-the only mortal member of her magical family to be conceived in last one-hundred years. Yeah, that's right, no special powers, no magical abilities, not even any cool vampire fangs. Nothing. Or so she thinks. The move to Hex Falls changes all that-from the picturesque waterfall outside her new home that appears to be haunted, to the winds of change that suddenly rise. But the slime really hits the cauldron when her fingers begin to spark, and an overweight talking fox shows up claiming to be her familiar. Then a head rolls out onto the carpet of her first-ever decorating job, and Violet knows she's in trouble. But honestly, what's an ex-crime investigator turned interior decorator to do-just let a perfectly good murder lie there unsolved? . Hopeless Pocus (Hex Falls Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1 ) is a humorous full-length paranormal cozy mystery.

Book Description
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling New York Times bestselling rom-com by Lana Harper. Emmy Harlow is a witch but not a very powerful one—in part because she hasn't been home to the magical town of Thistle Grove in years. Her self-imposed exile has a lot to do with a complicated family history and a desire to forge her own way in the world, and only the very tiniest bit to do with Gareth Blackmoore, heir to the most powerful magical family in town and casual breaker of hearts and destroyer of dreams. But when a spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for approaches, it turns out the pull of tradition (or the truly impressive parental guilt trip that comes with it) is strong enough to bring Emmy back. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago. On her first night home, Emmy runs into Talia Avramov—an all-around badass adept in the darker magical arts—who is fresh off a bad breakup . . . with Gareth Blackmoore. Talia had let herself be charmed, only to discover that Gareth was also seeing Linden—unbeknownst to either of them. And now she and Linden want revenge. Only one question stands: Is Emmy in? But most concerning of all: Why can't she stop thinking about the terrifyingly competent, devastatingly gorgeous, wickedly charming Talia Avramov?

Word Origins And How We Know Them
Author: Anatoly Liberman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199889015
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Written in a funny, charming, and conversational style, Word Origins is the first book to offer a thorough investigation of the history and the science of etymology, making this little-known field accessible to everyone interested in the history of words. Anatoly Liberman, an internationally acclaimed etymologist, takes the reader by the hand and explains the many ways that English words can be made, and the many ways in which etymologists try to unearth the origins of words. Every chapter is packed with dozens of examples of proven word histories, used to illustrate the correct ways to trace the origins of words as well as some of the egregiously bad ways to trace them. He not only tells the known origins of hundreds of words, but also shows how their origins were determined. And along the way, the reader is treated to a wealth of fascinating word facts. Did they once have bells in a belfry? No, the original meaning of belfry was siege tower. Are the words isle and island, raven and ravenous, or pan and pantry related etymologically? No, though they look strikingly similar, these words came to English via different routes. Partly a history, partly a how-to, and completely entertaining, Word Origins invites readers behind the scenes to watch an etymologist at work.
