Cant See Around Corners is a story about two fraternal twins, Sharon and Annie who are born into opulent wealth and are the only children of Edna and Warren Karce. The girls have accomplished studying for their degrees and look forward to their once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe. The sister' love for one another is obvious to the bystander, but a sinister undercurrent of malicious feelings dwells profoundly beneath their facade of shared contentment. Once abroad and with their hypervigilant parents absent, penetrating treachery, deceit and wickedness develop intensely between the girls and their relationship advances into the vilest possible nightmare, changing their lives forever. The discovery of an ancient mysterious pendant formerly owned by Vlad the Impaler from Draculas Castle begins an epic spiral of demonic incidents that traumatize not only the twin's lives while in Romania but has the ability to penetrate their family's existence back home in Australia.

 

How will the highly famed socialite dynasty survive the unforeseen satanic impacts created by the menacing pendant, integrated with the discreditable exploits from the once idolized and respected daughters of the Karce Empire?

After barely escaping from a toxic relationship with a drug dealer, emotionally codependent Leigh decides to start her life over somewhere far from the hills of Kentucky.

Supernatural horrors start manifesting all around Leigh and her new co-workers, and soon she starts having disturbing nightmares of impossible creatures calling out to her. To make matters worse, Leigh’s violent ex-boyfriend is close on her tail, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Now trapped in the midst of all these dangers, Leigh can't help but fall back on old habits.

Hi folks, Mark M. Bello, author of the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller Series here. Family, ethnic identity, holidays, and food are vital components of the Jewish experience. The delightful family recipes contained in this book have been handed down, l'dor v'dor—from generation to generation by precious family members from both sides of my family, some still with us, others of blessed memory. Somehow, despite tremendous adversity and tragedy, the Jews and Jewish family traditions have survived. Mitch pacha is important to me—I am who I am because of the influence and contributions of my family. My Jewish identity is also why I am so passionate about social justice—as you may have noticed, most Jewish holidays celebrate events in history when those in power tried to kill or harm the Jews. They failed, hence, holiday celebrations. Hopefully, these recipes will now endure, a lasting tribute to cherished family members and memories. I hope you enjoy this book, the delightful family stories woven between the delightful recipes, and the recipes themselves. If you happen to be Jewish, you will, no doubt, recognize many of these dishes. Perhaps your own family has created a special version of one or many. If you are not Jewish, hopefully the stories and recipes will, in some small way, help provide an better understanding of or connection to the Jewish experience. Either way, thanks for indulging my family memories as transmitted through my fictional character, Zachary Blake, Detroit's King of Justice. L'Chaim—To Life! Let's Eat!

#BookReview: Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King #1) by @TriciaLevensell






Synopsis: There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I’ve gotten what I came for.

Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map—the key to a legendary treasure trove—seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship.

More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate, Riden. But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.
