  I'd been in survival mode my entire life, battling the ghosts of my past, believing I was destined to either die at a young age or end up in jail. Thankfully, neither occurrence happened, although not for a lack of trying. 
   
   
   
  I'd succumbed to the idea I'd be alone for the rest of my life. It was the reason I closed myself off from everyone. I had nothing to offer except anger and regret. 
   
   
   
  Then I found solace when I joined the Knights Corruption, discovering the sense of family I'd longed for. 
   
   
   
  Fate stepped in once more when I met a woman who stirred up emotions I never thought I could feel. Just as I began to embrace the possibility of love, I found out I was going to be a father, thrusting me into a whirlwind of responsibility and fear. 
   
   
   
  As the war with the Los Zappas cartel threatens to steal everything from me, I battle between my past and my future. 
   
   
   
  Will I be given the chance to rise to the challenge and protect the family I'd been gifted? Or will the shadows of my past consume me, denying me the opportunity at redemption? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Shadow's Darkness

  When the dead can't speak, the shadows whisper their secrets. 
  There’s never a dull moment on Shadow Island, especially for its small but growing sheriff’s department. This time, Sheriff Rebecca West, along with new deputy Viviane Darby, discover a man hanging from the rafters of the caretaker’s shed at Oceanview Cemetery. 
  Does death follow Rebecca? Or does she attract it? 
  The scene suggests suicide—an unlocked padlock, a rope, a toppled bench, and the lifeless body. The plot thickens when they unearth the fact that the man’s high school love and former wife, claimed by cancer, lies buried close by. Surely, the man took his own life. 
  Rebecca’s gut says otherwise. 
  When she investigates the dead cybersecurity expert’s office the next day and interrupts a burglary in progress, things are suddenly not so cut and dried. Now they’re looking for a murderer—one who’s gone to a lot of trouble to cover their tracks and make the victim’s death look like a suicide. 
  And he isn’t finished. 
  A cybersecurity expert could make a lot of enemies. The next "suicide" victim had only one. And Rebecca must find and stop him before he strikes again. 
  From the staggering beginning to the unpredictable conclusion, Shadow’s Darkness—the tenth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a reminder that sometimes, the answers lie in embracing the shadows, because everyone has a hidden side.

  When aspiring artist Anna de' Medici Rossi inherits her family's opulent villa in Tuscany, she returns to a place steeped in tragedy and mystery. Living there as a child, Anna suffered from debilitating night terrors, frequently waking to find that she had wandered far from bed. During one such episode when Anna was twelve, her mother took a fatal tumble down the stairs. Vittoria's death was officially ruled an accident, but an heirloom ruby-and-diamond necklace was missing from her bruised neck. Whispered suspicions suggest that Anna pushed her mother and stole the precious jewels. Anna, remembering little from that night, is afraid they're right. But if that's true, then what became of the necklace, which has long been associated with legends of a family curse? 
   
   
   
  Now back in Tuscany after sixteen years, Anna is shunned by the local townspeople as a killer who escaped justice, while only a few distant relatives and an old childhood friend offer solace. As she explores the sprawling villa, Anna uncovers hidden rooms and memories shrouded in fog, reigniting the violent night terrors of her youth. Plagued by unsettling visions and eerie occurrences, she questions her sanity and embarks on a harrowing journey to unravel the truth of her past. As her search deepens, she confronts shocking revelations that expose her to dangers she never anticipated.

  Animal Farm

  Now an animated film adaptation produced and directed by Andy Serkis  
  George Orwell’s classic satire of the Russian Revolution has become an intimate part of our contemporary culture, with its treatment of democratic, fascist, and socialist ideals through an animal fable. 
  The animals of Mr. Jones’s Manor Farm are overworked, mistreated, and desperately seeking a reprieve. In their quest to create an idyllic society where justice and equality reign, the animals of Manor Farm revolt against their human rulers, establishing the democratic Animal Farm under the credo, “All Animals Are Created Equal.” Out of their cleverness, the pigs—Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball—emerge as leaders of the new community. In a development of insidious familiarity, the pigs begin to assume ever greater amounts of power, while other animals, especially the faithful horse Boxer, assume more of the work. The climax of the story results in a brutal betrayal, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: “But Some Animals Are More Equal than Others.” 
  This astonishing allegory, one of the most scathing satires in literary history, remains as fresh and relevant as the day it was published.
