Synopsis Raise a Little Hell by :

From Kinsley Adams comes a prequel to her new slow-burn urban fantasy series that delves into forbidden love and hidden truths. Being Lucifer’s daughter is not as fun as you might think. Picture this: a hellspawn-infested landscape, relentless combat training, and Rathiel—my father’s infuriatingly perfect right-hand fallen angel—breathing down my neck. His job? To make my life a living... well, you get the idea. My job? To resist the urge to strangle him with his own wings. Desperate to break the monotony, I decide to stir up a little trouble by stealing a hellwyrm and taking it out for a joyride. Bad move. Trouble finds me alright. Now, I’m dealing with rebellious hellspawn, a cryptic prophecy that claims I’m going to destroy Hell, and my father’s wrath. As if that isn’t enough, Rathiel’s presence is becoming more maddening. He pushes my buttons like no one else, but there’s a spark there—one neither of us wants to admit, but also can’t ignore. Hell’s heat is nothing compared to the firestorm brewing in my life. Ready to join the chaos? Let’s raise a little hell.

Synopsis Granny D by : Doris Haddock

"There's a cancer, and it's killing our democracy. A poor man has to sell his soul to get elected. I cry for this country." On February 29, 2000, ninety-year-old Doris “Granny D” Haddock completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. She walked through 105-degree deserts and blinding blizzards, despite arthritis and emphysema. Along her way, her remarkable speeches — rich with wisdom, love, and political insight — transformed individuals and communities and jump-started a full-blown movement. She became a national heroine. On her journey, Haddock kept a diary — tracking the progress of her walk and recalling events in her life and the insights that have given her. Granny D celebrates an exuberant life of love, activism, and adventure — from writing one-woman feminist plays in the 1930s to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1960 to Haddock’s current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown of Dublin/Peterborough, New Hampshire — Thornton Wilder’s inspirations for Grovers Croner in Out Town — a quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity and can-do attitude. Told in Doris Haddock’s distinct and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move, amuse, and inspire readers of all ages with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.

Synopsis The Graveyard Letters by : Randy Pitts

…Nobody ever looked at your shoes when you were in the spotlight. The play featured on campus was A Midsummer Night's Dream. Two blue eyes returned to the mirror and admired themselves, admired what they had become. The cat stretched and rose from his sleeping spot. In one lean easy leap, he was up on the makeup table and rubbing his face against the tub of greasepaint. A small patch of mauve coloring spotted his chin and under his neck. He looked up sleepily at the actor, hoping for a rub, but was ignored. Chester sat and watched the actor primp before the mirror, his tail twitching every now and then, as if it were a fifth paw trying to find something to scratch. A steady hand picked up the book and held it close, then at arms length. The picture was one of John Keats drawn just before the poet's death. The face in the mirror was very close to being an imitation of the face in the book. Not perfect, but close enough. And as in all other aspects of human existence on this grand old world—the face in the mirror surmised—in the dark, close enough would do…

Synopsis Cheer for the Dead by : Eli Colter

Pat Campbell is back -- the big man, six-foot six to be exact, with the big heart -- in a story brimming with action and suspense... Clients were more than paying customers to Pat Campbell. they were friends -- whose problems remained his problems even after they themselves ceased to care... Wark Andross -- for one -- was certainly beyond earthly cares now. Wark was a man whom people loved without regard for his millions. It was entirely fitting, therefore, that the press should memorialize his untimely death as "Unfortunate! Regrettable! Deplorable!" And it was natural for the police -- circumstances being what they were -- to tag the case as just another unfortunate accident. But Pat Campbell was dissatisfied with the tearful condolences on the one hand and the routine judgments on the other. To his mind, there were too many questions about Wark's death still unanswered; too many evasions and conflicting reports. Somehow it didn't seem reasonable that a man in the prime of his life, in full posession of his faculties would... And for murder, eight million dollars could prove a powerful incentive! So Pat went to work. And soon he found himself locked in a struggle to the finish with a desparate -- but resourceful -- murderer.

Synopsis High Voltage by : Karen Marie Moning

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Immortal Faerie and ancient feuds, secrets and sacrifices—a thrilling new chapter in the bestselling Fever series begins, featuring Dani, Ryodan, and other beloved characters, as they battle to save Dublin from the rising of a terrifying evil determined to enslave the human race. There is no action without consequence. Dani O’Malley was nine years old when the delusional, sadistic Rowena transformed her into a ruthless killer. Years later, Dani is tough and hardened, yet achingly vulnerable and fiercely compassionate, living alone by her own exacting code. Despite the scars on her body, and driven by deeper ones carved into her soul, no one is more committed to protecting Dublin. By day she ensures the safety of those she rescues, by night she hunts evil, dispensing justice swiftly and without mercy, determined to give to those she cares for the peace she has never known. There is no power without price. When the Faerie Queen used the dangerously powerful Song of Making to heal the world from the damage done by the Hoar Frost King, catastrophic magic seeped deep into the earth, giving rise to horrifying, unforeseen consequences—and now deadly enemies plot in the darkness, preparing to enslave the human race and unleash an ancient reign of Hell on Earth. There is no future without sacrifice. With the lethal, immortal Ryodan at her side, armed with the epic Sword of Light, Dani once again battles to save the world, but her past comes back to haunt her with a vengeance, demanding an unspeakable price for the power she needs to save the human race. And no one—not even Ryodan, who would move the very stars for her—can save her this time. Praise for High Voltage “A romance wrapped up in a thrilling sci-fi novel—what more could you want?”—PopSugar “If you’ve never read a Karen Marie Moning book before, you’re missing out. Her heroines alone are worth the read. . . . Despite being set in a dystopian world filled with magic and fae, the obstacles that these characters go through are very much humanlike. . . . Cannot wait to see where [she] takes this series next.”—Under the Covers
