Synopsis Shifter Squad Next Gen: Bundle 2: Books 4 - 6 by : J.C. Diem

This bundle contains books 4 - 6 of the Shifter Squad Next Gen series. Alpha Rivalry: Alex and the rest of the squad are stuck with the unwanted alpha on their team despite the trouble he keeps causing. When they team up with another alpha werewolf and his pack during a mission, tensions rise and tempers flare. With luck, Franko will soon show his true colors and they’ll finally be able to get rid of him. While the spells restrict Alex from reaching her full potential, she can at least use her necromancy. She’ll have the opportunity to practice her skills and maybe even expand on them. The more power she gains with her death magic, the less vulnerable she’ll be, or so they all hope. The witch is still lurking around, trying to lure the team into a trap. They’ll have to remain vigilant as she creates new dangers for them to avoid. In the meantime, Yasmine has a particular skillset the squad has been looking forward to learning. The vampire will become their teacher as she trains them in the delicate art of thievery. Rex’s Thrall: During a night out on the prowl, Sydney Walker-Levine meets a sexy, enigmatic weretiger. The pair hit it off instantly and their chemistry is undeniable. Everyone in the shifter nightclub can sense their desire for each other. The werecougar suspects she’s in for a night she’ll never forget. Her plans to get Harlan Rafferty naked are interrupted when she runs into someone she’d hoped she’d never see again. Colton, the arrogant Rex of a werelion pride, tried to claim her once before. Syd had been spared from becoming his captive a few months ago, but her team isn’t there to save her this time. Sydney is lulled into thinking she’s managed to dodge the bullet again, but she didn’t count on the werelions tracking her. Once she leaves the safety of the tiger’s bed, she becomes fair game. Colton is lying in wait, ready to turn her into his thrall. The werecougar only has one ally to watch her back; a zombie mouse called Beta. Spectral Justice: While testing her skills as a pickpocket, Alex learns she has talents no one could have anticipated. The spells that prevent her from reaching her full potential have an unexpected side effect. While the enchantments are a curse, they’re also proving to be surprisingly useful. The fae emissary they’ve been waiting for finally arrives to whisk Alex and Crowmon to the faery realm. They need to find out all they can about the old gods that they suspect are stirring. Their main goal is to find out where they’re being imprisoned, so they can make sure it’s still secure. If the ancient deities escape, all realms will be in peril. Agent Steel sends two of his colleagues to assess Alex’s new abilities. They will aid the team to solve a mission involving several lone female werewolves who have gone missing. The squad will need to be on full alert with so many enemies lurking around, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Synopsis String Theory Book One by : Jeffrey Lang

This is the first novel in an exciting 3-part odyssey marking Voyager's tenth anniversary, examining causality and effect, and how things aren't always as they appear. Spirits unbroken by the failed promise of the U.S.S. Dauntless, Captain Kathryn Janeway's indefatigable crew continue their odyssey of discovery through an enigmatic region of the Delta Quadrant, encountering a system inhabited by a species that, according to all known physical laws, should not exist. These unusual beings, the Monorhans, hover near the edge of extinction; technology from the Starship Voyager promises life. Janeway, compelled by the aliens' plight, dispatches Seven of Nine and Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres to the Monorhan homeworld. But an unexpected shock wave crashes the shuttle carrying Torres and Seven, catapulting Voyager into a place beyond the fabric of space-time. As B'Elanna and Seven wage an interpersonal war, Voyager struggles to prevail on an extradimensional battleground against an indefinable enemy. But fate has determined that one is inexorable linked to the other: the insurmountable chasm separating Voyager from her lost crew members must be bridged … or all will perish.

Synopsis The Novel Cure by : Ella Berthoud

"Delightful... elegant prose and discussions that span the history of 2,000 years of literature."—Publisher's Weekly A novel is a story transmitted from the novelist to the reader. It offers distraction, entertainment, and an opportunity to unwind or focus. But it can also be something more powerful—a way to learn about how to live. Read at the right moment in your life, a novel can—quite literally—change it. The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. To create this apothecary, the authors have trawled two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity, written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction. Structured like a reference book, readers simply look up their ailment, be it agoraphobia, boredom, or a midlife crisis, and are given a novel to read as the antidote. Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Aware that you’ve been cowardly? Pick up To Kill a Mockingbird for an injection of courage. Experiencing a sudden, acute fear of death? Read One Hundred Years of Solitude for some perspective on the larger cycle of life. Nervous about throwing a dinner party? Ali Smith’s There but for The will convince you that yours could never go that wrong. Whatever your condition, the prescription is simple: a novel (or two), to be read at regular intervals and in nice long chunks until you finish. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer solace, showing that you’re not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also peppered with useful lists and sidebars recommending the best novels to read when you’re stuck in traffic or can’t fall asleep, the most important novels to read during every decade of life, and many more. Brilliant in concept and deeply satisfying in execution, The Novel Cure belongs on everyone’s bookshelf and in every medicine cabinet. It will make even the most well-read fiction aficionado pick up a novel he’s never heard of, and see familiar ones with new eyes. Mostly, it will reaffirm literature’s ability to distract and transport, to resonate and reassure, to change the way we see the world and our place in it. "This appealing and helpful read is guaranteed to double the length of a to-read list and become a go-to reference for those unsure of their reading identities or who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of books in the world."—Library Journal
