Innocence by Adrienne Woods

Innocence by Adrienne Woods

Welcome to Beaumont Academy! We’re here to mold your supernatural abilities into the best they can be. Remember to submit your abilities test results, or we will deny your application.

After Maxima Lane turns into a bat, her acceptance into Beaumont Academy was a given. It means freedom from her horrid stepmother and equally terrible stepsisters. However, her freedom isn’t long lived as her stepmother claims she doesn’t have the x-gene and if Max can’t turn into a bat before the Magic Sector comes, she might get expelled from school.

Gabriel Hendrix’s life is simple. Capture the villains and don’t fall for a witch. Until he meets Maxima Lane. She has an X-gene that allows her to turn into a bat. Meaning she can follow the falcon, and he can put a stop to the Shadowed—if only it was that simple. The girl comes with a lot of secrets, and it drives Gabriel insane. Why is her stepmother obsessed with her? Why is there yellow in her eyes when it’s supposed to be red and why can’t she activate her bat?

When people die and Max gets kidnapped from the academy, time is running against Gabe. He needs to find answers and Max before it’s too late.

You Still Can’t Make This Up! by J. Traveler Pelton

You Still Can’t Make This Up! by J. Traveler Pelton

In this second book about my twenty-eight years in professional Social Work, I reached back in my memory vault to put stories to the faces that still come to mind when I sit back and recall those days. Some of them are drop-dead funny, some are sad and some simply infuriated me. I’ve met people from the privileged to the poor and most their relatives. Book two continues the short, almost true history of that career, funny to tragic. Names have been changed to protect innocent and guilty; and I promise you won’t find anything more fascinating than true life in my world. It gets greasy, gritty, gracious and no way glamourous here; I think it has been a life well lived. If you like true to life stories, odd characters funny to tragic, you will love this book.

Child of Vanris by Nikki McCormack

Child of Vanris by Nikki McCormack

At five years old, Kasiel was found with the pointed ends of his ears cut off. Despite that brutal start, he’s lived twelve peaceful years with the man who took him in. Keeping his hair long over his mutilated ears helps him hide the fact that he is Vanrian, a child of the enemy.

Everything changes when mercenaries arrive hunting for Kasiel. The last people he expects to come to his rescue are Vanrian soldiers, one of whom claims to be his spirit brother, whatever that means. They plan to take him across the war zone to deliver him to his real father, a man whose name strikes terror in his enemies.

With his secret exposed, Kasiel can’t return to his old home. This is his chance to find out who he was supposed to be. It means traveling to a foreign land where they have unusual psychic abilities he may share. It also means leaving behind everything he’s ever cared about. If he is to survive, he will need to learn their language and culture and earn his place in their society.

Meanwhile, the man who cut Kasiel’s ears will do anything to keep him out of his true father’s hands, even if it means killing him.

About Featured Book: Forbidden Vows by K.C. Crowne

He’s supposed to marry her sister.
But the Pakhan doesn’t play by the rules…
He writes them in blood.

The air is thick with champagne and lies.
I’m standing at my sister’s engagement party, trapped in the gilded cage of my family’s dying Irish dynasty.
Beside me, the monster I’m meant to marry.

Then—the announcement.
“Introducing Ciara’s fiancé—Anton Karpov.”

The world shatters.
His gaze crashes into mine like a knife to the ribs.
He remembers.
The way I moaned his name.
The way he saved my life—only to ruin it.

Shit.
This.
Can’t.
Be.
Happening.
But it’s real.

And so is my hatred.

Then his eyes drop.
To my hand.
To the curve of my stomach.
To the heir he doesn’t know exists.

That’s when the real game begins.

Big Music Gillian Wills Hawkeye Publishing

About Big Music Gillian Wills Hawkeye Publishing:

Beat is given a chance to shine when she is appointed dean of Turalong Music School, but her role is not what it seems. Fine tuning this institution is like playing a cracked violin with broken strings. She’s determined to revive the school’s reputation despite gender bias, staff conflict, fraud, betrayal, a famous composer’s ghost and a predatory university. Beat loves the wild mashes of sound: trumpets, electric guitars, flutes and saxophones which blaze all day and night – indeed the book has its own soundtrack – but she’s barely able to keep the school together, let alone her home life on her beloved hobby farm. Keen to unify her squabbling colleagues from opposite musical traditions, she puts a fresh spin on programming to show audiences something new: a combined Beethoven and rock festival. Music or politics? What will be her magnum opus?

Stardust by Robert A. Henricks

Stardust by Robert A. Henricks

In the summer of 1947, just five minutes before its scheduled landing in Santiago, the Stardust, a commercial airliner operated by British Airways disappeared over the Andes Mountains near the border of Argentina and Chili.
The plane had mysteriously vanished without a trace and had remained hidden for fifty years until a startling discovery made by a pair of amateur mountain climbers.
A salvage operation carried out by the Argentine military recovered from among the wreckage, a note from someone on the aircraft offering a clue to a cache of Nazi loot pilfered during the war and which implicated a conspiracy linking the passengers on board.
A British diplomat and former RAF captain, Cooper Finch, was the apparent catalyst who had information as to the identities of those members of an organization created by a rogue element of disaffected officers gone into business for self-aggrandizement.
Evidence at the crash site leads investigators on the trail of stolen artwork hidden and unseen for half a century until the secrets of a clandestine organization called Stendec are uncovered.
