#BookReview: Third Shift Society, Vol. 2 by Meredith Moriarty

AMAZON

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

Eisner-nominated WEBTOON Third Shift Society is a story about stumbling head-first into a world of magic and mystery. Financially challenged Ellie discovers she has strong psychic powers and gets a job working for Ichabod, a paranormal detective with the head of a Jack-o-Lantern.

Life’s funny. One minute you’re jobless, deep in debt, and on the verge of eviction; the next you’re in a fight with a monster and getting a job working for a paranormal detective with the head of a Jack-o-Lantern. It’s an age-old story. 

Now the clumsy but determined Ellie (who’s recently discovered she has strong psychic powers) and her pumpkin-headed boss Ichabod have to team up and fight the things that go bump in the night.

Ellie and Ichabod have some supernatural solves under their belts and Ellie has her psychic powers more (or less) under control. All they’re up against now are cryptic witches, sinister demons, and some ancient monsters hellbent on escaping their psychic prison. What could possibly go wrong?

This volume collects Season 2 of the bewitching WEBTOON comic.

A chance meeting in a quiet corner of a bar leaves me furious, doubting my life choices. Who does he think he is anyway? Just because Cam North is a tall, smoking hot hockey god doesn't mean he can talk to me like that.

I'm done being a doormat for anyone. He was burned before? That's not my problem.

What he doesn't know is who I actually am and why I'm about to make his life a whole lot more complicated.

I have one goal—make the Lowball Bay Seadragons ice hockey team as good as I know they can be. To do that, I need to keep a safe distance between me and the players. I can't lose my perspective.

I sure as hell can't lose my heart.

The Web of Spies

 

Espionage / Thriller

Date Published: 9/17/24

Publisher: FJK-KW Press

 

Former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins secretly enter Poland in 1948 to meet with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents, not realizing their mission has been compromised by a mole deep inside British intelligence. Hunted by both Soviet and Polish security services, they attempt a harrowing escape, not knowing whom they can trust as they try to outrun their pursuers.

Inspired by the true events of Poland's anti-communist insurgency, the Cambridge Five spy scandal, and a covert British operation to roll back communism to the borders of the USSR, Operation Nightfall: The Web of Spies sheds light on a lesser known story of the Cold War and immerses readers into the shadowy world of spy-versus-spy operations.

What happens when the bear's fated mate is a forbidden human who wanders into his woods during the full moon festivities while the shifters of Fortune Falls hunt and play?

Karter is the oldest son of the Barrington clan still living in Fortune Falls, which makes him the de facto Alpha of the mixed-species pack roaming the north-west territory of Montana. With two older brothers who left home to deploy with the military, he's left to care for an ailing father, an unmated sister who has never shifted, and three hell-raising triplets who have aged him beyond his years. No wonder he's such a grumpy bear! Add in money problems as well as the local wolf pack testing him for Alpha rights, and he doesn't have time to think, much less find his mate.

But when he scents a pretty human in his home—his bear goes wild. What's a shifter supposed to do when the Fates have paired him with a woman the pack deems forbidden?

Fortune Falls is a small town of telepathic shifters intent on keeping the encroaching human population out of their territory to protect their secrets. But the Fates have other plans, presenting them forbidden humans as their mates and disrupting the harmony of their close-knit community.

He wanted her to model for his company. She just wanted to save cats. How did this end with her in his bed and his ring on her finger?

Reese

I've already got a crazy mother and a meddling cousin. I don't need a curvy little spitfire stomping around my office, too. But I do need Ava Matthews in front of the camera, modeling for my company. Especially if it means getting her naked and in my bed.

Her terms? One million dollars.

I should be ashamed of how fast I accepted that deal. Spoiler Alert: I'm not. I'm not ashamed of how fast I dragged her to a chapel in Vegas and put my ring on her finger, either. And I'm absolutely not ashamed of how far I'll go to keep it there. She's mine. I'll do whatever it takes to convince her that we're permanent.

This gorgeous little cat lady is going down.

Ava

My plan for my life involved getting bossed around by my cat. It didn't include Reese Donovan, bosshole extraordinaire. But I accepted a job as his assistant anyway.

I wasn't supposed to agree to model for him or wake up married to him. And I absolutely wasn't supposed to fall for the grump. But there's something about this gorgeous man that I can't resist…especially when he's working his magic on my body.

But spinster cat lady, I can handle. Brokenhearted cat lady? Not so much.

If I'm just an elaborate game to him, I might burn his stupid company to the ground.

Prepare for the hottest mess of the year! Beauty and the Bosshole is a hilarious, full-length romantic comedy written by ten bestselling and award-winning authors all in the name of love (and charity!). The only rules? No cheating, and there must be a HEA. How do we get there? Well, ask the authors. They're the ones who did this to us. And they aren't sorry about it, either.

ESCAPING OUR REALITY

Ella

I want to find my sister. Actually, I need to find my sister. I can’t count on my parents to do it. They’re too busy jet-setting around the world on useless vacations and bed-hopping from one tryst to the other. So it’s up to me. I mean, the police have no new leads—maybe I can do what they can’t do.

But instead of finding her, I find him.

Homeless, cynical, commanding, and without a doubt, the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

I’m drawn to him. Instantly and permanently. He sees me. The real me. The me that I show so few people.

There’s just one problem. Well, two problems, really. One, he doesn’t think he’s worthy. Of anything. And two, he doesn’t want me looking for my sister.

Crutch

I’m from the wrong side of the tracks. Hell, my side of town is so bad it doesn’t even have tracks. I come from addicts, thieves, and liars.

And her…

Well, she has enough money to solve world hunger and still wipe her hands on a gold-trimmed handkerchief when she’s done.

Girls like her throw pity at guys like me. That’s why I don’t let anyone see the real me. Find the ones who know nothing about you or where you’re from, have a little fun, and then walk away. That’s my modus operandi. And yes, I do know what that means. Being poor doesn’t mean I’m stupid.

I can’t let her go. And I know I should. I mean, she’s still in high school. But… I can’t walk away.

I might not have a choice, though. Especially if she doesn’t stop looking for her sister.
