The Book of Azrael, Part 2 of 2

Nicole, Amber V. — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

World Ender meets Ender of Worlds...

A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her.

A King thought long dead and long forgotten.

In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago.

Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

A richly moving story of sisterhood, loyalty, and mental health in America. The Cross sisters have lived their entire lives on the sprawling grounds of Mercy Hill, the embattled Raleigh mental hospital run by their formidable mother.

"A football star and a diehard fan entangled in a PR stunt-that only one side knows is fake-might be the right play in this new romantic comedy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter. Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyotes football.

Instead, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV.

A strong push from the Coyotes' PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, he's surprised to discover that being with Duffy is much easier than he thought, and somehow it doesn't feel fake to him.

A mother and a daughter race against time in this all-too-real thriller that reaches from Tiananmen Square all the way to the White House.
Alice Li, a first-generation Chinese American and former food blogger, has long lived in the shadow of her mother, Vivien Li— a Tiananmen Square dissident turned world-renowned human rights activist and passionate advocate for a free and democratic China.
When security and fire alarms go off simultaneously all around the world, setting off a panic, the signal is traced back to China. As world leaders scramble to respond, Vivien and Alice are called to the White House in hopes Madame Li can interpret the Chinese intentions. But why involve Alice?
If China isn't behind the attack, Vivien warns, someone even more dangerous is pulling the strings. Mother and daughter must join together to overcome their estrangement if they have any hope of preventing global catastrophe. From DC to Ohio to Hong Kong, they work to prevent the next attack, along the way decoding an ancient legend and uncovering a secret language invented by women, for women.

The Last Mandarin is an electrifying study of absolute power and voracious greed, political terror and personal conviction. But it is also an intimate examination of choice, of sacrifice, of memory and myths, both cultural and personal. It is the story of a mother and daughter, as well as a compelling international thriller about the precarious balance of power across the world, and within a family. And what happens when both break down.
In a world ruled by power, even family can be a weapon.

All's Well that Friends Well

Mitchell, Gracie Ruth — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

My love for Luca Slater is not unrequited. It's just...not requited yet.

Did I break into his house? Technically yes. And did I eavesdrop on that one tiny little conversation? Also yes. But I had good reasons!

Unfortunately, Luca does not agree. So while I fell for him at first sight, his opinion of me is dismally low, and it's about to get lower. Because as of today, I am officially working at his office...as the new janitor.

Cleaning toilets isn't sexy, and I am not cut out for sanitizer and scrub brushes. But I need this job—begged for this job, in fact—so I'm going to make the best of it.

When I see Luca is having some work problems of his own, however, and when I realize I might be just the person to help, I offer my services immediately. As the new branch manager, he needs help softening his image in order to win over his employees, and if there's one thing I'm great at, it's people skills.

If I can prove useful, maybe Luca will finally see me as a woman instead of a silly little girl. Maybe he'll finally realize I'm the one he's destined to be with forever.

So I'll help Luca win over his employees, and while I'm at it, I'll win him over, too. I'm going to do everything I can to make this man fall for me...

Out of the Night

Warren, Susan May — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Will he ever outrun trouble?

All former spy and current national security agent York Newgate wants is to propose to the woman he loves, RJ Marshall. Then they can move to Shelly, Washington, and start the calm, safe life he's been dreaming of for over a year.

Too bad trouble doesn't agree...

Or maybe RJ simply attracts trouble because she's just going out for coffee when she spots a wanted, known terrorist standing in the middle of a street in Paris. At least she thinks it's international criminal Alan Martin, the mastermind behind a plot to kill the president.

But he's in jail, right?

Wrong. Martin has escaped, and it's up to RJ—and York—to keep him in their sights until he can be apprehended. But chasing down Martin means following him into the darkness of whatever plot he's cooked up now.

So much for York's epic proposal. Now, he just wants to escape Europe with their lives.

The romantic trilogy ignites in book of the Epic Story of RJ and York!

The Dovekeepers

Hoffman, Alice — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

An ambitious and mesmerizing historical novel from the bestselling author of Rules of Magic. The Dovekeepers is "striking....Hoffman grounds her expansive, intricately woven, and deepest new novel in biblical history, with a devotion and seriousness of purpose" (Entertainment Weekly).
Nearly two thousand years ago, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on Masada, a mountain fortress in the Judean desert. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic and iconic event, Hoffman's novel is a spellbinding tale of four extraordinarily bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom has come to Masada by a different path. Yael's mother died in childbirth, and her father, an expert assassin, never forgave her for that death. Revka, a village baker's wife, watched the murder of her daughter by Roman soldiers; she brings to Masada her young grandsons, rendered mute by what they have witnessed. Aziza is a warrior's daughter, raised as a boy, a fearless rider and expert marksman who finds passion with a fellow soldier. Shirah, born in Alexandria, is wise in the ways of ancient magic and medicine, a woman with uncanny insight and power.

The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the Roman siege of Masada. All are dovekeepers, and all are also keeping secrets—about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love.
