Exploring the inevitability of death, this book delves into the emotional and philosophical implications of mortality. It examines how individuals and societies confront the reality of loss, offering insights into grief, acceptance, and the human experience. Through poignant narratives and thought-provoking reflections, it encourages readers to consider their own relationships with life and death, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of what it means to live fully in the face of life's transience.

The narrative explores the intense release of pent-up emotions and experiences that have been accumulated over a lifetime. The protagonist experiences a transformative moment, likening their internal struggle to a bomb ready to explode. This liberation leads to a profound sense of freedom, suggesting themes of self-discovery and the power of letting go. The imagery conveys both the turmoil of holding back and the exhilarating relief of finally embracing one's true self.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cal Leandros novels comes a bold new supernatural thriller. Picking up a small pink shoe from the grass forever changed young Jackson Lee’s life. Not only did its presence mean that his sister Tessa was dead—murdered and stuffed in the deep, black water of a narrow well—but the shoe itself told him so. Tessa’s death triggers an even more horrific family massacre that, combined with this new talent he neither wants nor can handle, throws Jack’s life into a tailspin. The years quickly take him from state homes to the streets to grifting in a seedy carnival, until he finally becomes the cynical All Seeing Eye, psychic-for-hire. At last, Jackson has left his troubled past behind him and found a semblance of peace. That is, until the government blackmails him. Helping the military contain the aftermath of a bizarre experiment gone violently wrong, everything Jackson knows about himself will change just as suddenly as it did with his little sister’s shoe. And while change is constant...It’s never for the better.

I stopped and let them circle me, first because it was intriguing and, second, because, honestly, what could they do? Only knives, but all armed, and that made them even more interesting. Interesting. Fun. Playtime… Taking on bloodthirsty supernatural monsters is how Caliban and Niko Leandros make a living. But years ago—before they became a force to be reckoned with—the brothers were almost victims of a very human serial killer. Almost. Unfortunately for them, that particular depraved killer was working as apprentice to a creature far more malevolent—the legendary Spring-heeled Jack. He’s just hit town. He hasn’t forgotten what the Leandros brothers did to his murderous protégé. He hasn’t forgotten what they owe him. And now they are going to pay…and pay…and pay.…

Half-human Cal Leandros and his brother Niko struggle to succeed with their supernatural detective agency in New York City, where the presence of vampires, trolls, and other creatures makes their lack of business surprising.

Half-human/half-monster Cal Leandros knows that family is a pain. But now that pain belongs to his half-brother, Niko. Niko's shady father is in town, and he needs a big favor. Even worse is the reunion being held by the devious Puck race-including the Leandros' friend, Robin- featuring a lottery that no Puck wants to win. As Cal tries to keep both Niko and Robin from paying the ultimate price for their kin, a horrific reminder from Cal's own past arrives to remind him that blood is thicker than water-and that's why it's so much more fun to spill.

Die Dämonenjäger Cal und Niko kämpfen mit sinkenden Geschäften, während ein uralter Serienkiller nach New York zurückkehrt. Sie müssen ein Blutbad verhindern und ihren Freund Puck retten, der sich in Schwierigkeiten mit verärgerten Kreaturen befindet. Die Liste der Verdächtigen ist lang und die Herausforderung groß.

Determined to go back to the Institute and free the children they left behind, brothers Michael and Stefan must first destroy a new Chimera--one who can kill with a mere thought. Original.

Byl jsem sám a ztracený. Nevěděl jsem, kde jsem a nevěděl jsem, kdo jsem. Ztracenější být nemůžete. Při tom, co jsem věděl, a co jsem naopak vůbec nevěděl, proč bych toužil po temnotě, kde se skrývají monstra? Protože zabijáci se tam skrývají taky. Kal Leandros vždy kráčel po krvavé hranici mezi stavem, kdy se snažil zachovat svou smrtelnou duši svobodnou a čistou (více méně), a tím, kdy hrozilo, že se jeho hororové dědictví z jiného světa utrhne z řetězu. Pokaždé ho ale zachránila vzpomínka na bratra Nika, přátele, a ty, které miluje. Až doteď. Kal se probudil na pláži poseté rozsekanými zbytky ohavných stvoření, která zjevně vyhledávala potíže. Fakt, že jatka pravděpodobně způsobil on, ho nijak nerozrušil. Nerozrušilo ho ani to, že se cítil jako přirozený zabiják. Kala rozrušuje to, že si vůbec nepamatuje na Kala… a že si není jistý tím, že ho to zajímá.

When bar owner Trixia Iktomi is approached by a demon who needs her help, she and her friends go up against something even deadlier than fallen angels that has slaughtered almost a thousand demons in six months. Original.
