Download or read book Mercury written by Castello Gilbert and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will you believe me if I told you I died and I made my memory without the thought of the person I would find? Hello, everyone. My name is Castello Tyroy Gilbert. Some pronounce it as Costello, but it’s still the same to me. My family prefers to call me Kevin since it sounds like heaven. I was the first boy in my family that realized I had enemies. I stated this once before in a previous book. My journey from Jamaica only allowed me to adapt to the same culture, to have each step being forgiven like falling out of a tree that grew to the height of thirteen feet. I was only three and a half when I bled. Watch the news. I even think they had my head in a tornado of amusement. At that time, I was only imagining the distance for it to be a testimony of my life, trying to break away from each tournament of a boy’s tormented mind. Writing and solving problems, a monkey had my mind. It was something I always wanted to do. It was one of my favorite things, having been created in school. Out of that same culture, I found structure-like circuits hardwiring itself to be led. Without the ability to pronounce itself or the abilities of speech, my fingertips speaks. Identifying with so many things, it appears as a sociopath, coming to find my mind entwined with the things they needed to achieve. As a little boy, I was very inquisitive about nature, creation, education, and the teachers found in this novel. I won’t lie to you. It was a very self-proclaimed book about things that have happened and things that had been forgotten, which allowed me to understand my own life and others who rectify themselves from being abused.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank continues her scorching and sensual new series set in the world of the Nightwalkers, where alluring entities known as Bodywalkers are the vanguards against the raging forces of darkness. As a mercenary, Leo Alvarez has signed on for a lot—but he never signed on for his best friend becoming host to the soul of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. Jackson is now inhabited by a Bodywalker, and Leo is forced to grapple with a realm of supernatural beings far more dangerous than anything he’s ever encountered. But when Jackson is wounded by an attack from a demon god, Leo must team up with another supernatural creature—a Night Angel—to save his friend from utter destruction. With skin as black as midnight, hair as white as snow, and a body of pure perfection, the Night Angel arouses a burning desire in Leo, even as he refuses to be intimidated by her power—or the power of those who would destroy his friend. An unusual alliance is forged, electrified by sexual temptation, and together the two must unite their strengths to bring down a supreme evil. Praise for Forsaken “If you loved the original Nightwalker books, you’ll enjoy this.”—USA Today “There’s sizzle, steam and enough action to satisfy even the most ravenous appetite.”—RT Book Reviews “As always, Frank excels in highlighting the lovers’ delight in exploring the strangeness of each other’s bodies, and the heartbreaking tentativeness between Faith and Leo is a delightful break from the grand passions of the Egyptians.”—Publishers Weekly “There’s something to be said when you finish a book and immediately want the next book in the series. [The World of Nightwalkers] is just that kind of series.”—Badass Book Reviews “Only Jacquelyn Frank could take legendary Egyptians, intermix them with evil Templars, add gargoyles and weave it all into an incredible new world that exists right in the middle of unknowing humans.”—Fresh Fiction
