Black Machetes
Horror-Thriller von R.K. Howard
Benjamin Wilder grew up with sparse shelter, infested provisions, and constant abuse dealt to him by his stepfather: Jessup—a.k.a. the Rabid Dog. Without a sober mother to defend him from the Rabid Dog’s wrath, Ben finds reprieve and adventure in a club of misfit boys called the Black Machetes. But the world as Ben knows it comes to an end when he witnesses an act so psychologically appalling that it forces him to run for his life. He travels as far away as he can until fate steps in and guides him to a small town where he finds the help he needs to assume a new identity and live a life he could only imagine before.
R.K. Howard schreibt ziemlich dunkle Bücher, die aber ihre Leser begeistern. „Humor: This book is very dark and gritty. However I laughed out loud (at work mind you) a number of times. I love Maddie’s humor and her sass and Ben’s narrative voice and way of describing things is humorous.“ (Leserin), (79 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 411 Seiten – noch gratis?

But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.

Moonlight Can Be Murder
Cozy Krimi von Blanche Day Manos
Nettie „Ned“ McNeil cannot imagine why her Uncle Javin feels that he is in danger, but she loads her suitcases into her car, leaves Atlanta and her late husband, and makes the long trek to Ednalee, Oklahoma, to help out. When she arrives, Uncle Javin’s white Victorian house is strangely dark and silent. Inside she finds him lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
Blanche Day Manos schreibt neben Kurzgeschichten und Gedichten mehrere überaus beliebte Krimiserien. “This is one of the best „cozy“ mysteries I’ve ever read — smart and skillfully plotted, with a likeable heroine, and setting that truly comes to life. The author’s writing style is beautiful and evocative – capturing the „feel“ of a mystery novel perfectly.” (Leserin) (24 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 190 Seiten – noch gratis?
Die Menschheit ist von ihrem einst majestätischen Platz unter den Sternen gefallen. Verzweifelt nach Ressourcen, um eine alternde galaktische Dynastie zu stützen, ergreifen die Menschen jeden Planeten, den sie finden, und vernichten seine außerirdischen Bewohner. Im ganzen Imperium trifft sich eine Gruppe von Dissidenten durch Zufall. “From the start, Zachariah Wahrer’s story sets a hook and pulls you into a far future. His writing is clear and somewhat stripped down, and yet what he reveals – or doesn’t reveal – provides you with descriptions of places and activities and people that show he is an excellent world-builder.” (Leser) (20 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 238 Seiten – noch gratis?

Pure
Historischer Roman von Andrew Miller
Deep in the heart of Paris, its oldest cemetery is, by 1785, overflowing, tainting the very breath of those who live nearby. Into their midst comes Jean-Baptiste Baratte, a young, provincial engineer charged by the king with demolishing it. At first Baratte sees this as a chance to clear the burden of history, a fitting task for a modern man of reason. But before long, he begins to suspect that the destruction of the cemetery might be a prelude to his own.
Andrew Miller (* 29. April 1960 in Bristol) ist ein britischer Romanautor. „His recreation of pre-Revolutionary Paris is extraordinarily vivid and imaginative, and his story is so gripping that you’ll put your life on hold to finish it.“ (The Times) (342 Rezensionen / 3,9 Sterne), 353 Seiten noch günstig?

Their curiosity aroused over this unusual advertisement, Pete and Pam Hollister visit Mrs. Neeley to apply for the job.

Die „Happy Hollisters“ sind innerhalb seiner Bücher noch einmal eine Besonderheit, denn es sind seine eigenen Kinder, die Vorbilder für die Helden sind. „Set back in the 1950’s, this book was an absolute joy to read as it transported me back to my childhood.“ (Leser) (17 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 182 Seiten – noch gratis?
Maggie Coco Mignery hat wie so viele Amerikaner Vorfahren die aus Italien stammen, genauer gesagt Sizilien. In diesem Buch wechselt sie die Geschichte ihrer Familie immer wieder mit ihren autobiografischen Erfahrungen ab – die letztlich durch die spezifische Kultur ihrer Familie aufgefangen wurden. „How fortunate is Ms. Mignery to have had the opportunity to grow up in a time when family values were so important! And how fortunate that she had the opportunity to trace her family history to their homeland. It was a delightful story for this avid reader that reminded me there are still families with grounded roots that this country was founded on.“ (Leserin) (8 Rezensionen / 4,8 Sterne), 216 Seiten – noch gratis?
