Sinopsis

Henri Barbusse's seminal work, "Under Fire", provides a harrowing and immersive account of World War I from the perspective of the soldiers entrenched in the brutal reality of warfare. Written in a stark, unadorned literary style that echoes the immediacy of the battlefield, Barbusse's narrative exposes the psychological and physical toll of combat. The book resonates deeply within the literary context of war literature, positioning itself among the early anti-war novels that challenged romantic notions of heroism. Through vivid imagery and raw prose, Barbusse captures the chaos and camaraderie of soldiers, while exposing the profound disillusionment that accompanies the horrors of war. Adorned with a personal touch, Barbusse was himself a soldier in the Great War, and his experiences immeasurably influenced his writing. This authenticity is complemented by his political convictions, particularly his anti-militaristic stance and socialist ideals, which shaped his perception of the relentless brutality of conflict. Barbusse's journaling during the war, as well as his interactions with other soldiers, provide a foundation for the intimate, yet universal, themes explored in this powerful narrative. "Under Fire" is essential reading for those seeking to understand the psychological complexities of war and its impact on the human condition. Barbusse's poignant exploration of fear, friendship, and the loss of innocence transcends time, making it a crucial text for both literary scholars and general readers alike. Its unflinching portrayal of the soldier's experience invites reflection on the timeless consequences of warfare.

    She needs to kill him. He'll cross any line to keep her. 
    Only a fool would try and hunt the beast. A fool, or a witch all out of options. 
    Esmae’s days are numbered. With her ex-lover’s curse hanging around her neck, she has two options: succumb to the curse as her body turns to the same ice her heart is supposedly encased in (as her ex would prefer), or spill the blood of the beast that haunts the Condemned Cliffs and set herself free. 
    Since the last thing she plans to do is meet her end on her ex’s terms, hunting down the dangerous beast it is. 
    Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, her attempt to kill the beast fails. 
    Worse, the beast isn’t some great, scaled creature. 
    No, he’s a vampire with red eyes and fangs… fangs he plans to sink into her neck in retribution for her attempt on his life. 
    Because the vampire isn’t going to simply kill Esmae for her hubris… 
    He’s going to claim her as his mate. 
    Now, she’s matched in a game against time and fate: stay with the vampire and let her heart turn to ice, or kill him—and break it. 
    Stolen by the Vampire is a standalone fantasy romance Beauty and the Beast retelling, perfect for readers who love their love interests obsessed and fanged and their heroines who know how to fight back and bring the beast to his knees. The audiobook is narrated in duet by Jack Calihan and Maya Gloss.

    A Life They Did Knot ExpectAlphas do not exist. 25-year-old omega, Damon Richards, knows this; it’s why his old-school pack considers him all but useless. He certainly doesn’t expect this reality to be upended at a random bar in the middle of nowhere. But that’s what happens when he meets an irresistible stranger…and things just get more complicated from there.In his forty-two years of life, Rex Murphy hasn’t had any reason to believe he isn’t human. Shifters are just something he learned about in school; a species snuffed out long ago. As far as he’s concerned, he’s just a normal guy – until his anatomy changes during an impromptu hook-up in a bar’s bathroom. At that point, he does what any rational person would do: he flees.Wanting answers to his newfound alpha-ness, Rex seeks out Shifters Sanctuary, a pack recently founded by the only other known alpha in existence.As fate would have it, once there, Rex gets the second biggest shock of his life. It seems he left a little something behind with Damon on the night he fled. A baby-shaped something.Rex and Damon still have a lot to work out (not made any easier by the looming threat from a cult-like community of shifters with their own agenda) but they may just discover that a life in Shifter’s Sanctuary is worth fighting for...CWs: His Prodigal Alpha is a sweet, instant attraction (fated mates) romance. It IS an mpreg with an unexpected pregnancy, and it does contain some violence, threats, kidnapping/abduction of small children/infants (I promise it’s brief and has a HEA), anxiety/allusions to an emotionally abusive upbringing, a birthing scene, talk of infertility, and some angst, as well as some rope play/shibari and discussion about unsafe BDSM practices. This book contains elements suited to readers over the age of 18.

    Restless and disillusioned with his life, Aiden McCarstle is ready for a night out at The Moonlight Café with his best friend Penelope: one night to not think about how much he hates grad school, to watch queer people make fools of themselves singing karaoke. 
     
     
     
    But when it's not Penelope who walks through the door, but the high school nemesis Aiden hasn't seen in years—things get complicated. 
     
     
     
    For Kai Andrews, moving back home after his mother's death has been harder and lonelier than he anticipated. Running into McCarstle again hadn't been in his plans, either. But he deserves a night out, away from responsibilities and grief. It appears McCarstle still hates his guts, for reasons Kai has never quite understood. But maybe, with a dose of pop music and Moonie's magic, Kai can finally make Aiden smile. 
     
     
     
    As a surprising night at Moonie's brings Aiden and Kai closer together, a winter storm moves in. What was meant to be a simple night out turns into over twenty-four hours of being snowed in together. They have to figure out if this unexpected second chance at connection was merely a temporary interlude—or if they can each come out better on the other side of the storm. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    A ragged, barefoot girl drives into Birge's Corners on a ramshackle wagon and offers to sing for her supper; the village recluse, Miss Abby Clergy, who has hidden herself away since a love affair of 1867, hears her and carries her off to New York to study for grand opera. Nalbro Bartley follows Thurley from the village into the studios and drawing rooms of the city, and finds a name for the people she admires: the gray angels, idealists with enough of the sinner in them to get things done. Bartley was widely serialised in the magazines of the 1910s and 1920s and wrote women who work for a living. Fifty-nine plates, from Sorolla to Bellows, trace the working women, quiet interiors and grey Atlantic weather that surround Thurley's passage from village wagon to opera stage.

    Alone, pregnant and running from monsters . . .  
     
     
     
    I thought I knew what I was signing up for at Prometheus labs. A living wage salary in return for terrible hours, appalling working conditions and the occasional medical trial to give me a nice end of month boost in funds. I never expected to end up pregnant and transported to a completely different world, where gargoyles taunt me, and my life is immeasurably worse. 
     
     
     
    Until they show up. 
     
     
     
    Two alpha gargoyles, granite gods of males, along with a gargoyle knight who could charm the birds from the trees. They never expected to find me, and now they're claiming me, and my unborn child for themselves. I'm not ready to surrender anything, but my treacherous body tells me otherwise. It needs the attention of all three gargoyles, over and over again. 
     
     
     
    But I'm not going to let them take my heart. Gargoyles have destroyed my life, and I have no reason to let them in, no matter they call me 'mate' and make every part of me sing like I belong to them. 
     
     
     
    I won't give in. And when I have my baby, I'm leaving. Let them try to stop me. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
