  What happens when the ultimate predator discovers he's about to become... family?
   
  
   
  Ren Lewis has faced assassins, psychics, and world-ending conspiracies. But nothing—nothing—has terrified him like this:
   
  His daughter Adelaide is pregnant.
   
  
   
  And she expects him to welcome a baby into his carefully controlled world.
   
  
   
  The man who can manipulate minds across continents is hiding from a nursery. The monster who's conquered every enemy is running from responsibility. But while Ren drowns himself in work, a new threat emerges—one that might be his perfect match.
   
  
   
  Vivian Bishop. Strategic. Brilliant. Devastatingly beautiful.
   
  
   
  And she's infiltrating American homes, bending entire families to her will.
   
  
   
  For the first time, Ren faces an enemy who mirrors his own darkness. But this final battle will demand something he's never given before—something that could destroy him completely:
   
  He'll have to evolve.
   
  
   
  The monster must learn to love. The predator must become protector. And the man who controls everything must surrender to the one thing he can't manipulate:
   
  What it means to be human.
   
  
   
  Will evolution be Ren's salvation... or his complete undoing?
   
  The final reckoning begins now.

  I'm a hunter, and I thought I knew everything there was about vampires, but I was dead wrong. 
   
   
   
  My twin brother, Damon, and I grew up in the shadows of the supernatural, trained by our father, a legendary hunter and an Elder in a world you wouldn't believe exists. But now, Dad's gone missing, and we're on a treacherous path to find him. 
   
   
   
  We thought we knew the drill—stake 'em, salt 'em, save the day. That was until we met our newest nightmare: vampires, or so we thought, leaving nothing but skeletons in their wake. 
   
   
   
  Then there's Justice, a vampire fighting his own kind, a guy from some group called the Paranormal Mercenary Corp. Trusting a vampire? Not exactly in our playbook. 
   
   
   
  But when your enemy's enemy is . . . well, you know how it goes. Doesn't help that there's something about Justice that's messing with my head, in ways a hunter's heart shouldn't be stirred. As we delve deeper into this mystery, every clue leads to more questions. Who are these new monsters? And why does everything feel like it's hanging by a thread? 
   
   
   
  One thing's for sure: Damon and I are going to find the truth. 
   
   
   
  In this deadly game of cat and mouse, it’s not just our lives on the line—it's our souls.

  In Blood and Ashes provides the first historical study of the development and dissemination of ritualized curse practice from 750-250 BCE, documenting the cultural pressures that drove the use of curse tablets, charms, spells, and other private rites. This book expands our understanding of daily life in ancient communities, showing how individuals were making sense of the world and coping with conflict, vulnerability, competition, anxiety, desire, and loss, all while conjuring the gods and powers of the Underworld. 
   
   
   
  Bringing together epigraphic, literary, archaeological, and material evidence, Jessica L. Lamont reads between traditional histories of Archaic, Classical, and early Hellenistic Greece, drawing out new voices and new narratives to consider: here are the cooks, tavern keepers, garland weavers, helmsmen, barbers, and other persons who often slip through the cracks of ancient history. The texts and objects presented here offer glimpses of public and private lives across many centuries, illuminating the interplay of ritual and conflict-management strategies among citizens and slaves, men and women, pagans and Christians. Filled with new material and insights, Lamont's volume offers a groundbreaking perspective on ancient Greek social history and religion, highlighting the role of ritual in negotiating life's uncertainties.

  When a foreign worker is found dead in a Singapore back street, nobody cares. The police dismiss it as just another underclass slaying until more victims appear, all killed with the same weapon. Singapore suddenly faces its first serial killer in decades, and the authorities are desperate. In desperation, they turn to the one man they despise almost as much as the killer himself: Detective Inspector Stanley Low. His career is in ruins, his bipolar disorder is barely under control, and he's as angry and unrepentant as ever. But he's also the only detective capable of understanding what drives this murderer. Racing against time, Low must navigate Singapore's stark income divide, where even death discriminates between rich and poor. He needs to solve the case quickly, stop a serial killer who's targeting the city's most vulnerable, and somehow hold onto his sanity.  A dark, disturbing examination of inequality and injustice, Rich Kill Poor Kill reveals the brutal reality behind Singapore's economic miracle and asks uncomfortable questions about who matters—and who doesn't—in a society obsessed with wealth.

  The Time Machine is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. 
  One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller-a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. As he travels to as far as 802,701 AD, The Time Traveller encounters a world dominated by two types of creatures- beautiful and fragile Eloi and repulsive and brutal Morlocks. His journey then turns quickly from a series of observations into a dangerous quest to return back home, as he realizes that Morlocks have stolen his machine.
  A dystopian novel that fascinates the readers from the very beginning, The Time Machine both reflects Wells's sceptical outlook on the future of the Late Victorian England and makes the reader meditate on the future of our civilization.
