Sinopse

Historical Family Saga set in Hull, Yorkshire, UK.
 
What happens to a young couple when the first flush of love fades?
 
Alice and Amos Bell marry in 1925, when flappers and jazz prosper. But their struggle increases with the Depression years, followed by World War II. Amos Bell does not deal with the stormy relationships with his children or his wife.
 
Alice and her sister are ardent suffragists who live by their own rules, while their world overflows with parties, music, and dancing.
 
As Alice’s health declines, Amos’ infidelity dramas explode, with the German bombs dropping on Yorkshire being the least of their troubles.

    A bundle of books #1 (THE KILLING GAME) and #2 (THE KILLING TIDE) in Kate Bold’s Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameIn THE KILLING GAME (Book #1), when a notorious serial killer escapes from a prison transport, it crosses the jurisdictions of the U.S. Marshals and the FBI’s BAU. The two departments are forced to come together on a new joint task force to hunt down the fugitive serial killer and bring him to justice. Alexa and her new partner, each territorial, don’t take well to each other. Between their tension and all the clues leading to dead ends and the bodies piling up on the killer’s spree, Alexa knows that she, up against a ticking clock, can’t afford to get this wrong. Especially when she realizes that she herself may be the next target. In THE KILLING TIDE (Book #2), with Alexa’s last case a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Two federal judges are murdered, and startling evidence points to the work of a serial killer with a vendetta. But the judges have tried and convicted hundreds of people over their long careers, and with the suspect list a mile long, Alexa is in the race of her life to find the killer before he kills another judge on his list. And when the next victim offers a shocking twist, it throws everything Alexa thought she knew into doubt. Is this truly a vendetta? Or is this killer far more diabolical than he seems?To find these diabolical killers, Alexa will have to do what she fears most—enter their twisted minds, before they can strike again. It’s a life-and-death game of cat and mouse, and it’s winner takes all. But will the darkness swallow her whole?A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.Books #3-#6 in the series—THE KILLING HOUR, THE KILLING POINT, THE KILLING FOG, and THE KILLING PLACE—are also available.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting. Plenty of dialogue, you absolutely love the characters, and you were rooting for the good guy throughout the whole story… I look forward to reading the next in the series.”—Reader review for The Killing Game“Kate did an amazing job on this book and I was hooked from the first chapter!”—Reader review for The Killing Game“I really enjoyed this book. The characters were authentic, and I see the bad guys as something we hear about daily on the news... Looking forward to book 2.”—Reader review for The Killing Game“This was a really good book. The main characters were real, flawed and human. The story went along quickly and wasn't mired in too many unnecessary details. I really enjoyed it.”—Reader review for The Killing Game“Alexa Chase is headstrong, impatient, but most of all brave with a capital B. She never, repeat never, backs d

    "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces a mysterious and disfigured stranger who arrives in the quiet village of Iping, leading to a series of unsettling and bewildering events that disrupt the lives of the locals.  
    The central character, the Invisible Man, struggles with the consequences of his unique condition, which brings both power and alienation. At the beginning of the novel, we meet the stranger as he arrives at the "Coach and Horses" inn on a cold winter day. Wrapped in layers of clothing to conceal his appearance, he exhibits peculiar behaviors that alarm the innkeeper and other residents. His bandaged head and weariness suggest that he has endured some trauma, fostering intrigue and suspicion among the townsfolk.  
    As the narrative unfolds, a sense of isolation surrounds his character, hinting at deeper themes of identity, societal acceptance, and the moral implications of scientific experimentation. The opening chapters build a mystery around his true nature and set the stage for a blend of horror and thought-provoking commentary on humanity.
