Avoiding Alpha (Alpha Girls #2)
by Aileen ErinFrom USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin Seventeen-year-old Tessa McCaide has come a long way since her abrupt entrance into the world of werewolves, but she still has just as far to go before she’s comfortable with turning full wolf. In the meantime, she’s avoiding the topic of shifting to four legs any way she can. Thankfully her mate, Dastien Laurent, is quite the distraction. When she finds her best friend, Meredith, getting sick in the bathroom, Tessa knows something’s majorly wrong. Meredith was cursed years ago, and the dark magic kept her wolf dormant—only now the wolf is awake, and that same spell is killing her. Tessa has no intention of sitting around while Meredith wastes away. Even if it means playing with magic she doesn’t understand, she’ll do anything to save Meredith’s life. Including bargaining with the local coven of witches and its crazed leader, whose only goal is getting Tessa to join the witchy ranks. Can Tessa save her friend without losing herself? ***A 52K Word Novella***"There is no word to describe how much I love everything about this book.” — Feli, The Four Eyed Cat“Wow!

Avoiding the Badge (Arizona K9 #1)

And Derek’s sculpted muscles and heart-stopping smile would be truly irresistible, if only he wasn’t an officer of the law… Derek can’t get Rayna’s stunning face and no-nonsense smarts out of his mind. Any excuse to see her will do, until he works up the nerve to ask her out. He’s not sure where her resistance to cops comes from, though he’s more than willing to prove he’s one of the good ones.

Avon Street: A Tale of Murder in Victorian Bath
by Paul EmanuelliOne night, one rash act, one crime changed James Daunton's life for ever. Robbed of everything he once had, and trapped in a merciless vendetta, James must now take on Nathaniel Caine and his gang to survive. Alone, he cannot hope to win, but to find allies he needs to learn to trust in a world of betrayal. Each of those who promise help has their own secrets, hidden in silences, half-truths and lies. And asked if it is fate, destiny, or simply chance that brings them together, each of them would have a different answer. Avon Street is an historical adventure story that takes the reader on a journey behind the Georgian facades of the city to expose the darker side of Victorian Bath. It is a book about the potential that lies, often unlocked or unrecognised, in all of us.
Avrebbe potuto essere
by A. K. FraileyIntroduzione Scrivere racconti è stato il miglior esercizio di scrittura che avrei mai potuto immaginare. Ho imparato di più lottando con i miei personaggi e le loro caratteristiche che da qualsiasi manuale, lezione, o consiglio amichevole incontrato lungo il mio viaggio nella scrittura. Stranamente, ho dovuto disimparare qualche brutta abitudine. La prima delle quali era aggrapparmi al concetto ridicolo che sapevo quello che stavo facendo. Ho dovuto accettare il fatto che i miei personaggi erano abbastanza abili da raccontare una buona storia per conto loro, se solo mi fossi tolta dai piedi. La seconda era quella di tacere circa due paragrafi prima che avessi finito. La consapevolezza che al lettore non interessano veramente tutti i dettagli (che spiegano perché, per esempio, zia Sarah è una svitata), ma si concentra piuttosto solo sulla storia che sto realmente raccontando, ha portato la mia proverbiale penna in territori meravigliosi e terrificanti. Improvvisamente, non c’erano più parole dietro cui nascondersi. Il significato era ciò che importava. Una straziante realtà e un’intuizione penetrante marciarono sulla pagina e reclamarono il proprio ruolo nel gioco. Spesso ho sussultato all’impatto con una storia che non sapevo di avere dentro di me. Forse non lo era. Forse me la portavo sulle spalle ed è piombata sulla pagina quando ho iniziato a battere sulla tastiera. Così mi sentivo gran parte dei giorni… Chi sei? Sono una storia che sta cercando di essere raccontata. Ti DISPIACE? Oh, no, certo che no. Non preoccuparti. Scriverò con solo un paio di dita mentre mangio questi deliziosi (e nutrienti) M&M’s con le noccioline e sto a guardare. D’accordo. Tu pensa a te stessa. Solo stai FUORI dai piedi, capisci? Piuttosto pietoso essere intimidita dalla mia stessa storia. Ma diamine, fanno loro tutto il lavoro e io mi bec
Avrohom ben Avrohom

Await Your Reply: A Novel
by Dan ChaonThe lives of three strangers interconnect in unforeseen ways-and with unexpected consequences-in acclaimed author Dan Chaon's gripping, brilliantly written new novel. Longing to get on with his life, Miles Cheshire nevertheless can't stop searching for his troubled twin brother, Hayden, who has been missing for ten years. Hayden has covered his tracks skillfully, moving stealthily from place to place, managing along the way to hold down various jobs and seem, to the people he meets, entirely normal. But some version of the truth is always concealed. A few days after graduating from high school, Lucy Lattimore sneaks away from the small town of Pompey, Ohio, with her charismatic former history teacher. They arrive in Nebraska, in the middle of nowhere, at a long-deserted motel next to a dried-up reservoir, to figure out the next move on their path to a new life. But soon Lucy begins to feel quietly uneasy. My whole life is a lie, thinks Ryan Schuyler, who has recently learned some shocking news. In response, he walks off the Northwestern University campus, hops on a bus, and breaks loose from his existence, which suddenly seems abstract and tenuous. Presumed dead, Ryan decides to remake himself-through unconventional and precarious means. Await Your Reply is a literary masterwork with the momentum of a thriller, an unforgettable novel in which pasts are invented and reinvented and the future is both seductively uncharted and perilously unmoored.

Awake
by Harald VoetmannHarald Voetmann’s eye-opening English debut, Awake, is the first book of his erudite, grotesque, and absurdist trilogy about mankind’s inhuman will to conquer nature In a shuttered bedroom in ancient Italy, the sleepless Pliny the Elder lies in bed obsessively dictating new chapters of his Natural History to his slave Diocles. Fat, wheezing, imperious, and prone to nosebleeds, Pliny does not believe in spending his evenings in repose: No—to be awake is to be alive. There’s no time to waste if he is to classify every element of the natural world in a single work. By day Pliny the Elder carries out his many civic duties and gives the occasional disastrous public reading. But despite his astonishing ambition to catalog everything from precious metals to the moon, as well as a collection of exotic plants sourced from the farthest reaches of the world, Pliny the Elder still takes immense pleasure in the common rose. After he rushes to an erupting Mount Vesuvius and perishes in the ash, his nephew, Pliny the Younger, becomes custodian of his life’s work. But where Pliny the Elder saw starlight, Pliny the Younger only sees fireflies. In masterfully honed prose, Voetmann brings the formidable Pliny the Elder (and his pompous nephew) to life. Awake is a comic delight about one of history’s great minds and the not-so-great human body it was housed in.
