Thain: One minute, I'm solving cases in my small town of Mystic Harbor, and the next, I'm face-to-face with her. Ellie Landish. Witch. Former fiancée. And the biggest "what if" of my life. I still don't understand why she broke my heart three years ago, but now she's back, tangled in a case that reeks of magic and trouble. I should keep it professional, solve her problem, and walk away. But seeing her again stirs up everything I thought I'd buried. And worse? Every time I look at her, I want what we had back. Ellie: Going to Thain was my last resort, and yet here I am, hiring the ogre who shattered my trust. My greenhouse is in ruins, and my rare, enchanted plants—my livelihood—are dying. If I can't figure out who's behind this, I'll lose everything. But working with Thain complicates things. I thought I'd buried my feelings, those stolen moments we once shared. My heart already took one beating from him, and I'm not risking it again. This will be strictly business. But every smirk, every stolen glance makes me question what happened back then and where we might go now. Solving the case is one thing. Surviving Thain? That's the real challenge. Contains mature themes.Voir livre
There’s trouble afoot in Regency London’s Jewish community, and no one to stop the crimes—until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with an unlikely pair: General Well’ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets. David Salomon, a young violinist and composer, has left New York to find fame and fortune in Regency London. But disaster strikes not long after he arrives. A mysterious rival composer is stealing his compositions and having them performed to great acclaim — and when David tries to protest that he is the music’s true creator, he becomes the laughingstock of the beau monde he had hoped to conquer. With few friends and even fewer resources, the desperate Mr. Salomon turns to Ezra Melamed for help with discovering the identity of his shadowy foe. But the deeper Mr. Melamed looks into the violinist’s story the more jarring notes he finds, making The Doppelganger’s Dance one of the most discomposing mysteries of his career. The Doppelganger’s Dance is the second book in the Jewish Regency Mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency England which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor.Voir livre

Two of the greatest science fiction classics of all time...in one collection! H.G. Wells (1866 -1946) - the master of the genre - created his "scientific romances" and set the standard for futuristic literature that teemed with both social commentary and a prescient view of the world to come. Here, we present "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds," two of the most popular and thrilling science fiction novels ever created...together in one volume. First, meet The Time Traveller as he climbs into his fantastical machine and slingshots himself far into the future; so far that he reaches a point where humanity as we know it has ceased to exist and the world has become an unspeakably frightening and dangerous place. Then...follow the Narrator as he describes the unthinkable: a deadly and terrifying invasion of Earth by the inhabitants of Mars. The Martians enjoy the advantage of superior technological advances combined with a ruthless desire to conquer humanity and enslave them. Can mankind survive? Enjoy these two classics by the "father of science fiction." This volume includes a brief biography of the author.Voir livre

(Kirkus Reviews) A Most Efficient Murder is the first in the Mr. Quayle Mysteries.Voir livre
This is book three of a series of three. This book includes all three volumes of the series "Wendell Eternal, Order of the Hidden". This book reaches your mind on three different levels. (Physical, Spiritual, and Metaphysical) The biggening of this series starts off with the lowest level of man, in his animalistic form. This book builds you up so that the information can easily be broken down. I am a fan of Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, and Goosebumps. Wendell Eternal is a series of short stories that are all intertwined into one meaning. I use fairytales, allegories, and duality to give the listeners multiple avenues of interpretation. This series is for people who enjoy mysterious thrillers that have a moral compass and over all meaning. Included in this book is my world famous Keysari Smoothie recipe. This smoothie has been perfected over the last decade. I give you entertainment, spirituality, knowledge, and a healthy recipe that could improve your quality of life going forward. This is not a book; this is a movement. When you buy this book, you are basically saying, "Yes, I will continue to fight the good fight".Voir livre
