  Three sisters, one power, and an evil out to destroy everything in its path. 
   
   
   
  The Whitlow witches often rub elbows with all things that go bump in the night, but what will they do when Hell itself comes calling? 
   
   
   
  A dangerous ritual, decades old, is about to set loose an evil on the town of Henley-on-Hale and the Whitlows are the only thing standing in the way. The sisters must untangle a web of lies to find the truth behind a series of brutal and horrific murders that are taking the lives of local teens and leaving very strange clues behind. Clues that say this is more than just your run-of-the-mill serial killer. 
   
   
   
  The witches must call on the aid of their allies—old and new—to confront a force unlike any they've ever faced before. The fate of the town and its inhabitants hangs in the balance and, should they fail, the evil that could be unleashed on the world would be cataclysmic.

  Steel Drivin' Man: John Henry...

  The ballad "John Henry" is the most recorded folk song in American history and John Henry--the mighty railroad man who could blast through rock faster than a steam drill--is a towering figure in our culture. 
  In Steel Drivin' Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time, the first rail route through the Appalachian Mountains. Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia's notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the C&O railroad. Equally important, Nelson masterfully captures the life of the ballad of John Henry, tracing the song's evolution from the first printed score by blues legend W. C. Handy, to Carl Sandburg's use of the ballad to become the first "folk singer," to the upbeat version by Tennessee Ernie Ford. 
  Attractively illustrated with numerous images, Steel Drivin' Man offers a marvelous portrait of a beloved folk song--and a true American legend.

  My sister died. Her friends lied. And now I’ve brought them all together, I’m going to learn the truth…    
     
  My twin sister, Samantha, died a year ago.  
     
  This weekend, I’m staying in a beautiful, wood-panelled cabin in the mountains with her closest friends. There’s a firepit, hiking trails through the trees. It’s the perfect place for us to talk and remember her.  
     
  But I’m not here for that. I’m here to find out what happened.  
     
  I’ve always known there was something suspicious about her death. But no one believed me. Then I found her journal, tucked into a hidden space in the window seat of our childhood bedroom, and what I read there changed everything.  
     
  The journal shows who they really are: the fraud. The liar. The cheat. The crush.  
     
  And I’m going to confront them. Expose their secrets. One of them killed her, and I will prove it.  
     
  But when the journal vanishes, and one of us is attacked, and fire breaks out on the mountain…  
     
  What will I risk to get justice for Samantha? And how far am I willing to go?  
     
  An absolutely compulsive thriller that will have your pulse racing as you flip through the pages at speed! If you like The Hunting Party, Ruth Ware and The Summer House, you’ll love The Weekend Away!

  This Life - A Novel

  Lil Chris is just nineteen when he arrives at Angola as an AU—an admitting unit, a fresh fish, a new vict. He's got a life sentence with no chance of parole, but he's also got a clear mind and sharp awareness—one that picks up quickly on the details of the system, his fellow inmates, and what he can do to claim a place at the top. When he meets Rise, a mature inmate who's already spent years in the system, and whose composure and raised consciousness command the respect of the other prisoners, Lil Chris learns to find his way in a system bent on repressing every means he has to express himself. 
   
   
   
  Lil Chris and Rise channel their questions, frustrations, and pain into rap, and This Life flows with the same cadence that powers their charged verses. It pulses with the heat of impassioned inmates, the oppressive daily routines of the prison yard, and the rap contests that bring the men of the prison together. 
   
   
   
  This Life is told in a voice that only a man who's lived it could have—a clipped, urgent, evocative voice that surges with anger, honesty, playfulness, and a deep sense of ugly history. Angola started out as a plantation—and as This Life makes clear, black inmates are still in a kind of enslavement there. This Life commands our attention with the vigor, dynamism, and raw, consciousness-expanding energy of this essential new voice.
