Sinopsis

Would you call Alice Teakle a stalker?  Or just someone with an, um, healthy obsession with golden girl Polly Linley Dawson?  No one much notices Alice: not her boss, not the neighbors, not even her Mother.Besides, everyone follows Polly: her business selling high-end lingerie you can imagine only her elegant self wearing, her all-over-the-social-pages marriage to movie director Humphrey Dawson, her chic looks, her wardrobe. Alice just follows her a little more….closely.And when she loses her job and starts to follow Polly Dawson one Manhattan autumn afternoon, Alice stumbles on the object of her attention sprawled dead on the floor of a boutique.  Alice is forced to become truly beneath anyone's notice. Invisible, in fact. Because she's accused of murder.But can another obsession help save Alice with the fallout?  Charlie is Alice's longtime unattainable crush.  He might be able to help her out of the mess she's in…in return for a favor or two, that is.    And how will Alice find out if Charlie is really the man Alice thinks he is?

    A BRAND NEW feel-good romantic comedy from Phoebe MacLeod, TOP TEN BESTSELLING author of The Fixer Upper 🇫🇷☀️𓂃🖊 
    She's looking for writing inspiration, but she may just find Mr Right... 
    Laura Spalding has life all worked out: a flourishing writing career, a lovely home, a cute dog, and a handsome boyfriend Angus. 
    Then, plot twist, Angus walks out, leaving Laura with sole charge of Meg the dog, and a serious case of writer's block. With the deadline on her latest novel looming, Laura gives in to her agent’s suggestion that she go on a writer’s retreat. Perhaps two weeks in the South of France will help her find inspiration again? 
    But when Laura arrives in the idyllic village of St-Antonin-Noble-Val, she’s surprised to discover the other guests are less than thrilled to have a published author in their mix. Only non-writer Finn is willing to give her the time of day, and they immediately become close. And, incredibly, Laura finds she can write again. 
    Then a surprise arrival at the retreat throws everything off course, and Laura realises that there’s more to life than professional success. Should she risk everything to follow her heart? 
    Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Sarah Morgan and Beth O'Leary!

    Gambling on hope, Evil Eddie and his bad guy friends, feed the hungry slot machines in a small town casino. Work for them is borrowing money by day and gambling by night. A sad story for a bunch of no-good-nicks, but that's all they have is hope... The hope of winning a "Big Jackpot" at the Casino. 
    Fast forward to the year 2050! The casino has been torn down to make room for a Supermall. Not just any Supermall, but one with a very special wishing well. A wishing well filled with magic coins! The Supermall is owned and operated by the dynamic Miss Kelly Kelly who has one very special employee, an alien, with superhero powers! But this Superhero is different. Although he has a cape, he doesn't have a secret identity. He willingly uses his superpowers at his job as the "handy, but sometimes clumsy" alien in the mall. One of his jobs involves granting wishes and cleaning the wishing well, which is full of magic coins. His name is Hoodoo. 
    One day, while showing the wishing well to a local radio announcer, Jack Stumbleberry, Hoodoo accidentally gets sucked down the drain. The drain is a time portal, and Hoodoo is hurled through it. He travels back in time and lands in the casino dripping with water and magic coins. 
    Evil Eddie claims the magic coins as his winnings from the slot machine and tells Hoodoo he won them fair and square. Then with the help of his henchmen, Eddie locks Hoodoo in a big freezer to keep him quiet and out of sight. 
    Now that Hoodoo is out of the picture, Evil Eddie uses the power of the magic coins to take control of the town...

    The Necronomicon - Complete edition

    The mysterious and forbidden Necronomicon is a cursed writing of arcane knowledge, forbidden magic and knowledge of dangerous things whose reading provokes madness and death itself. In addition, the book itself has a record of forgotten phrases and incantations that allow contact with beings of inconceivable power, but at the same time it entails an unimaginably horrifying danger to mention them. In short, it is the blasphemy of life. It seemed to be a rumor, but one of the few surviving editions was discovered in 1845 in the desert near Babylon in the caves of Larbit where a remnant of King Ashurbanipal's descendants had been buried.The Necronomicon was written in the ancient city of Damascus by the Arab poet Abdul Al-Hazred according to dates between 730 AD, and it is rumored that he died dismembered and his bones broken into a thousand pieces by an unknown being. Like all those who came in contact with the blasphemies and curses of this noxious book suffered similar fates; mysterious deaths of a cruel and indescribable horror.If you are of a curious spirit, I advise you for your own sake; that you dare not read this book, for if you should do so, only one thing I can tell you as a consolation and assurance: "That death you will never meet it before the horror that awaits you..."
