A Dark Vampire Paranormal Romance Novel

Will she forgive him for his sins, or is their bond destined to fracture before it's even forged? KORA Everything changed when the vampires arrived. I'm starving, alone in a dark cave, and grieving those who I lost. But I'm not giving up just yet. I'm a fighter, a survivor. A little fear won't get in my way. A vampire will, though. And he chooses the worst time to show himself. Only he doesn't want blood... He wants something even more sacred. Something I'm not willing to give away. ALDEON I am dhampir, and I've been lost to the bloodlust like many of my people. Yet I awaken from the haze, only to find myself in a strange world, drinking from even stranger beings. When I catch her scent, everything changes. The Calling awakens deep within, and I know she is my mate. My fated. But she is different. She is human, native to this land, and in dire trouble. A mysterious enemy leads a horde of maddened dhampirs straight to her dwelling, ready to drink her dry. It is my duty to protect her. I'll fight to the death if I must. And when the time is right, I will claim her as mine. "Adult fans of Stephenie Meyer and Richelle Mead will love this new Vampire Paranormal Romance." If you enjoy enemies to lovers, fated mates, telepathic vampires, blood bonds, and a romance so hot you have to stuff your face in the freezer to recoup, then you're in the right place.

Kate Douglas Wiggin

1994 Wordsworth trade paperback. Complete and unabridged. Good vintage condition. Slight tear at bottom of spine but binding is tight.

Rebecca Randall is one of seven fatherless children, but is full of fun and strange ideas. She leaves her family at Sunnybrook Farm and goes to live with her two aunts in Riverboro. There she goes to school for the first time, embarks on a madcap scheme to sell soap, nearly runs away, befriends the kindly stagecoach driver Jeremiah Cobb, and with 'Mr Aladdin' helps repair her family's fortunes. This charming story of the good-natured, but never goody-goody Rebecca has delighted generations of children on both sides of the Atlantic. AUTHOR Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin was born in Philadelphia, America, and was of Welsh descent. She started the first free kindergarten in San Francisco in 1878 (the Silver Street Free Kindergarten). With her sister during the 1880s she also established a training school for kindergarten teachers. Kate Wiggin devoted her adult life to the welfare of children in an era when children were commonly thought of as cheap labour.

So the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter remembered the chilling events that led her down the turning drive past ther beeches, white and naked, to the isolated gray stone manse on the windswept Cornish coast. With a husband she barely knew, the young bride arrived at this immense estate, only to be inexorably drawn into the life of the first Mrs. de Winter, the beautiful Rebecca, dead but never forgotten...her suite of rooms never touched, her clothes ready to be worn, her servant -- the sinister Mrs. Danvers -- still loyal. And as an eerie presentiment of evil tightened around her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter began her search for the real fate of Rebecca...for the secrets of Manderley.

An Overdose of Death

Barbara Kingsolver

Early short stories from the author of The Poisonwood Bible and Animal Vegetable Miracle.

1993 Harper Perennial trade paperback. Good vintage condition. Minor scuffing on spine. Binding is tight.

With the same wit and sensitivity that have come to characterize her highly praised and beloved novels Animal Dreams and The Bean Trees, Barbara Kingsolver gives us a rich and emotionally resonant collection of twelve stories. Spreading her memorable characters over landscapes ranging from northern-California to the hills of eastern Kentucky and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Kingsolver tells stories of hope, momentary joy, and powerful endurance. In every setting, Kingsolver's distinctive voice -- at times comic, but often heartrending -- rings true as she explores the twin themes of family ties and the life choices one must ultimately make alone. Homeland and Other Stories creates a world of love and possibility that readers will want to take as their own.

Great Expectations

Margaret Atwood

A modern dystopian.

2015 Anchor. Good condition. Minor shelfwear, has been read.

From the library of my Book Aunt.

"Margaret Atwood puts the human heart to the ultimate test in an utterly brilliant new novel that is as visionary as The Handmaid's Tale and as richly imagined as The Blind Assassin. Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation around and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in for six months out of the year. On alternating months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron prison system. Once their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their "civilian" homes. At first, this doesn't seem like too much of a sacrifice to make in order to have a roof over one's head and food to eat. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who lives in their house during the months when she and Stan are in the prison, a series of troubling events unfolds, putting Stan's life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled"--

The Heart Goes Last

85090c36-2d47-492e-869d-98a74b7fab85-1

First book in the Last Hundred Years: A Family Saga trilogy.

2015, Anchor. Like new. Minor shelfwear.

From the library of my Book Aunt.

Longlisted for the 2014 National Book Award From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize: a powerful, engrossing new novel—the life and times of a remarkable family over three transformative decades in America. On their farm in Denby, Iowa, Rosanna and Walter Langdon abide by time-honored values that they pass on to their five wildly different children: from Frank, the handsome, willful first born, and Joe, whose love of animals and the land sustains him, to Claire, who earns a special place in her father's heart. Each chapter in Some Luck covers a single year, beginning in 1920, as American soldiers like Walter return home from World War I, and going up through the early 1950s, with the country on the cusp of enormous social and economic change. As the Langdons branch out from Iowa to both coasts of America, the personal and the historical merge seamlessly: one moment electricity is just beginning to power the farm, and the next a son is volunteering to fight the Nazis; later still, a girl you'd seen growing up now has a little girl of her own, and you discover that your laughter and your admiration for all these lives are mixing with tears. Some Luck delivers on everything we look for in a work of fiction. Taking us through cycles of births and deaths, passions and betrayals, among characters we come to know inside and out, it is a tour de force that stands wholly on its own. But it is also the first part of a dazzling epic trilogy—a literary adventure that will span a century in America: an astonishing feat of storytelling by a beloved writer at the height of her powers. From the Hardcover edition.
