Summary

It looked as innocent as a gardenia...but the Hellflower’s perfume turned any woman into any man’s woman. The haunting, pungent scent aroused desires too fierce to be slaked by ordinary passions—and left its victims burnt-out husks! Charles Farradyne knew that no woman could resist the Hellflower. Yet Carolyn, the girl he wanted above all to possess, smiled when he gave her the deadly bloom—smiled and inhaled the perfumed poison.Hellflower is the fantastic story of a lovely woman who was not quite human—and of a man who went through heaven and hell to win her.

    In this post-apocalyptic horror tale, a team of zombie catchers must determine the fate of a band of survivors they find hiding in an urban wasteland. 
     
    The world is dead, devoured by a plague of reanimated corpses. 
     
    Cahz and his squad of veteran soldiers are tasked with flying into abandoned cities and retrieving zombies for scientific study. Deep in infected territory, hundreds of miles from their support vessel, the ever-present dangers weigh heavily on Cahz’s mind as he shepherds his team to make quick, clean extractions. 
     
    Then the unbelievable happens. After years of encountering nothing but the undead, the team discovers a handful of disheveled survivors in a fortified warehouse with dwindling supplies. 
     
    Surrounded by hordes of ravenous corpses, Cahz is faced with the terrible responsibility of determining the five passengers who will escape in the helicopter. While those left stranded must continue to fight off the infected and starvation long enough to be rescued.

    Another fantasy audiobook from Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, which began with the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning, World Fantasy Award finalist, Every Heart a Doorway.Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third audiobook in McGuire's Wayward Children series, returns listeners to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children in a contemporary fantasy for fans of all ages. At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world. 
    When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived.  But Rini can't let Reality get in the way of her quest – not when she has an entire world to save! (Much more common than one would suppose.) 
    If she can't find a way to restore her mother, Rini will have more than a world to save: she will never have been born in the first place.  And in a world without magic, she doesn't have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away.  Good thing the student body is well-acquainted with quests... 
    A tale of friendship, baking, and derring-do. 
    Warning: May contain nuts.
