Humanity's Rage - Or How to Stop Blissful Ignorance and Start Worrying

Sierra Ernesto Xavier

Sinopse

Humanity's Rage is a poignant exploration of man's inhumanity to man, its origins, and what is known as 'compassion fatigue' - that loss of sensitivity to the suffering of others that is a result of both our natural selfishness and an over-exposure to grim images of pain and misery. But instigating, allowing or simply ignoring such suffering does not only hurt those who need our sympathy and assistance - it also hurts us as individuals and as a collective human group. Written in a very distinctive prose style, full of repetitions and ellipses that give the writing a faltering sense of hesitancy or outrage. It is a compassionate cry from the heart, urging us all to look to our fellow humans' suffering rather than turning a blind eye.

Sinful Embers - Molchanov Bratva

Kat Steele

I thought the monster in my nightmares was just that—a nightmare. Until I woke up in his dungeon. 
 
 
 
I expected to wake up tangled in my husband's arms. His wicked hands dragging me back into bliss. Instead, I'm barefoot on a freezing cot and I'm dressed like a trauma surgeon who lost her shoes. This sucks and I'm scared. The cotton sheets and silk robes are gone, replaced by chains, shadows, and a cast-iron door. 
 
 
 
At first, I thought it was Radomir. That two-timing bastard must have found out I was going to leave him. But the truth is far worse. I've been kidnapped. Not by just anyone—but by the monster from my nightmares. He wants what's locked inside my mind. And he'll tear me apart—piece by piece until I remember the secrets I've buried. 
 
 
 
At first, I clung to hope that Radomir would find me. But as the memories return, I'm not so sure he'll save me. Not when he finds out the truth: I'm the one who pulled the trigger that killed his father. 
 
 
 
Now, my only hope lies in the one thing they can't take from me. 
 
 
 
The secret I carry beneath my heart. The baby growing in my belly—Radomir's baby. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
