![]() ![]() When his ex-girlfriend shows up, a new vampire boyfriend in tow at a hip vampire club, Nick figures things really can't get any worse. It also brings Nick far too close to the life he thought he'd left behind, as a lieutenant in the White Death, the vampire criminal underground. Soon, what starts off as a simple case of a robbery gone wrong begins to look like something a lot more sinister, with much more far-reaching consequences. Nick has no leads apart from the painting itself, a murdered human, and the dead man's partner, the city's star designer and architect, an eccentric vampire named Straven. Unfortunately, by the time Nick sees it, it's already too late. That something turns out to be his latest creation, a mural of a bomb going off in downtown New York. One of those seers, an antisocial male with the annoying habit of painting things before they happen, appears at Nick's work, claiming he has something to show him. "As I have always said, if the humans take it upon themselves to kill one another, it is often best to simply stand out of the way." Vampire detective Nick knows a few seers. "This is human business," the vampire said. ![]()

![]() ![]() Except for Maddie, it’s not enough.Ĭaught in a world that has meant she has had to subdue every outspoken word and trapped in a life that brings her no personal joy, she makes the brave decision to walk away from her marriage and start her life over again. ![]() Her culinary and hostessing skills are second to none, and her privileged life and social connections should guarantee a comfortable and secure life. Maddie Schwartz is seemingly a happily married woman, wife to Milton and Mother to Seth. To start to read the Lady In The Lake, is to lose yourself completely in the world of Baltimore and a time where a woman’s worth is solely judged on their ability to ensure that food is on the table, the house is tidy, the children are seen and not heard, and women’s own hopes and dreams are relegated to an afterthought. What she can’t imagine is how much trouble she will cause by chasing a story that no-one wants her to tell. When she hears about an unidentified body that’s been pulled out of the fountain in Druid Hill Park, Maddie thinks she is about to uncover a story that will finally get her name in print. Maddie Schwartz – recently separated from her husband, working her first job as an assistant at the Baltimore Sun– wants one thing: a byline. ![]() It isn’t hard to understand why: it’s 1964 and neither the police, the public nor the papers care much when Negro women go missing. Aside from her parents and the two sons she left behind, no one seems to have noticed. ![]() Available from all good online and high street bookshopsĬleo Sherwood disappeared eight months ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was written by Laura Pritchett and is read by January LaVoy.

No, in some ways, it was like this false missile alert was like a stress test on your relationship. He didn’t even feel compelled to say goodbye to me. After a while, I couldn’t ignore what that silence told me. ![]() I wonder who he called or texted during that time. For 38 minutes, they faced their own imminent deaths. He and his colleagues at the medical conference stopped discussing ocular herpes and took shelter. It turned out to be an employee error at the Hawaii Emergency Management Services that triggered a false North Korean missile alarm sent to those in the state, including my husband. I never thought that I’d be like trying to approximate these feelings again for a podcast.

She decides, then, to give herself a purpose by restaging Shakespeare’s famous Hamlet, setting it in Egypt rather than Denmark. Bertie was a foundling, with no written purpose, and for her, leaving the Theatre means leaving the only home she’s ever known. Everyone else has a defined purpose-They are all characters in famous plays, and without them at the Theatre, the plays cannot be enacted. Bertie isn’t like other members of the Theatre Illuminata. She’s always been notorious for the mischief she creates around the Theatre Illuminata, but after an incident involving a cannon, the destruction of several set pieces, and a spectacular fire, she finds herself stuck with two options-make herself useful, or leave the Theatre forever. Beatrice Shakespeare Smith is in trouble. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when he tries to ask Evren out, his plans unravel faster than an unfinished edge. The smitten barista can’t wait to see him at the next week’s gathering. He’s also got a killer smile, confident air, and masculine charm that’s tying Brady’s stomach in knots. His name is Evren, and he’s the sexy nephew of Brady’s sweetest customer, the owner of the yarn shop down the street. Into the fray walks a tall, dark, and distractingly handsome stranger from New York. Every Wednesday-aka “Knit Night”-hordes of women and their needles descend on the coffeehouse, and Brady’s feeling the heat. ![]() One of Portland’s hottest young baristas, Brady is famous for his java-topping flair, turning a regular cup of joe into a work of art. But it’s the hard-working men who serve it all up that keep us coming back for more… It’s no secret that Portland, Oregon, has some of best restaurants, shops, and cafés in the country. ![]() ![]() ![]() My father stared straight forward, as always, his face impossible to read. Like the way they tell you to inhale before an X-ray so they can see more, get it all. Beside me, my mom tensed, sucking in a breath.

Sarah Dessen is the winner of the Margaret A. "The name Sarah Dessen has become synonymous with Young Adult contemporary fiction."- Entertainment Weekly "This summer I'm looking forward to reading Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen."-John Green Once again, the hugely popular Sarah Dessen tells an engrossing story of a girl discovering friendship, love, and herself. Meanwhile, Sydney becomes friends with the Chathams, a warm, close-knit, eccentric family, and their friendship helps her understand that she is not responsible for Peyton's mistakes. And when Peyton's involvement in a drunk driving episode sends him to jail, Sydney feels increasingly rootless and invisible, worried that her parents are unconcerned about the real victim: the boy Peyton hit and seriously injured. ![]() Sydney's handsome, charismatic older brother, Peyton, has always dominated the family, demanding and receiving the lion's share of their parents' attention. A new blockbuster from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen now available in paperback! ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that you love Dostoevsky, even quoting from Demons which most people overlook, (but which I believe is even better than Crime and Punishment purely for the monumental characters of Kirillov and Stavrogin – proto-Ivan Karamazovs), and that you perceive and understand his prophetic brilliance, reassures me. When I read The Brothers Karamazov as a heavily indoctrinated Christian, at 20 years old, it shook the very foundations of my ontology. ![]() Nietzsche said of Dostoevsky, “He is the only psychologist from which I have anything to learn” – I’ve no doubt you’ve heard/read that quote many times. All of the thinkers who I admire the most, have looked to Dostoevsky as the most profound writer of all literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() Roscoe and Maddox give in to their attraction, but they have to keep it under wraps in order to keep everything above board.

Roscoe Hall is one of three personal managers for the boy band Atrous, but he works closest with lead singer and face of the band, Maddox Kershaw. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That is roundabout way of saying that I really enjoyed how deep into the archaeological woods Cat Jarman’s River Kings goes in places and reading it reminded me a lot of my time as a PhD student – where I was surrounded by people doing Viking age archaeology in Ireland. I really enjoy archaeology and I’m fascinated to learn what interesting nuggets of information have been dug out of the earth. I kind of regret that I’ve never been hanging around when someone pulled something old and cool out of the ground and I am a little jealous of those who have. However, I’ve never been to a dig site or participated in any of the usual archaeologist activities most people picture when they hear the word. This was, by any reasonable measure, an archaeological study. ![]() I took measurements of five-hundred-year-old crossbows in a Swiss castle and examined an early 15th century crossbow in the basement of the Met in New York. I did my PhD on the development of the bow and the crossbow in the later Middle Ages and for much of my evidence I used surviving medieval weapons. I have often felt like a fake archaeologist. ![]() ![]() ![]() This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.
