Book excerpt: Before the trial even began, I found myself in the thick of it, shackled and accused of crimes I couldn't fathom. Accusations flew: violating the Paranormal Privacy Protocol, aiding and abetting criminal activities, and even heresy. The courtroom, a melting pot of the supernatural, from werewolf judges to vampire lawyers, became my arena. My allies, a motley crew of part-time lovers and full-time fighters, stood by me, but the threat of execution loomed large. As the trial unfolded, so did the layers of our intertwined lives, revealing secrets, betrayals, and the true extent of our sacrifices for Chicago's paranormal community. Navigating the treacherous waters of vampire politics and ancient laws, I, Stacey Adams, found myself at the heart of a conspiracy that threatened to unravel the very fabric of our hidden world. My relationship with Nagisa, a vampire with secrets of his own, deepened as we faced our darkest moments. Together, we fought to clear our names, battling not just the legal system but the forces that sought to destroy everything we held dear. With each revelation, the bond between us grew, a beacon of hope in the shadowy depths of supernatural Chicago. Now, as the final verdict looms, the question isn't just about our innocence, but about the future of a world teetering on the edge. Will love and loyalty be enough to save us, or will the shadows claim us for their own?

Book excerpt: Living in Chicago was supposed to be a fresh start, but all I've found is a tangled mess of my past and present. Gabe, with his insatiable passion for food porn, is my new partner at Feedworthy, a far cry from my old gig chasing urban legends. Despite the change, I can't shake the memories of the four vampires who once held my heart. Their shadows linger, ever persistent, but I've tried to sever those ties for good. Now, my life revolves around tacos and Tamara, my steadfast friend, who keeps me grounded in this chaotic city. Just as I’m settling into my new reality, the news hits like a punch to the gut: Eddie, one of my former vampire lovers, is imprisoned, accused of horrific crimes. The supernatural community is in turmoil, with witches mysteriously combusting and a sinister group called the Dark Seeds threatening to expose our hidden world. Eddie swears he's innocent, and despite our turbulent past, I can't turn my back on him. I dive back into the underworld I tried to leave behind, seeking answers that might clear his name and save him from a fate worse than death. As tensions rise and old passions reignite, I’m pulled deeper into a web of danger and desire. With the rest of my vampire entanglements, we must navigate the treacherous waters of supernatural politics and deadly secrets. My heart and life hang in the balance, and I’m forced to confront the truth about my feelings and the darkness that threatens to consume us all. Will love be enough to save us, or will the past finally catch up and destroy everything I’ve fought to protect?

Download or read book Blood in the Moonlight written by Mark E. Wildermuth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Director and screenwriter Michael Mann is the creative force behind such movies as Last of the Mohicans and Ali. Markedly reticent, Mann prefers that his personal background remain an enigma, but his disparate films contain clear and consistent messages. One of Mann's focuses is on the Information Age. He addresses the nature of modern communication, its use to manipulate and coerce, and the resultant subjugation of truth. The perils inherent in modern technology and communication stand in stark contrast to the power of symbolic and oral exchange, the trusted medium of Mann's protagonists. This critical exploration of the films of Michael Mann examines his recurring focus on the nature of modern communication and information and their effect on the individual and society. Mann's films highlight the struggle to maintain a connection to reality in a world where information is a commodity manipulated and abused by forces that exert increasing control over its content and dissemination. Each chapter examines one of Mann's films--including Manhunter, The Keep, Last of the Mohicans, The Insider and Ali--in which the protagonist longs for a sense of human connection but is pitted against forces that devalue and destroy individuality. Photographs illustrate specific moments from the films. A bibliography and an index are included.

Book excerpt: Stranded on a boat with my two vampire companions, Eddie and Vic, the tension is palpable. We're returning to a Chicago that is now...different. The city's silhouette looms ominously through the mist. Vic is frantically trying to conjure a spell, a magic we desperately need but that stubbornly eludes him. His frustration echoes my own fears. Eddie, usually more vocal, is unusually quiet, drained from a recent fight that has left both him and Vic barely standing. Amid the creaking of the boat and the looming crisis, I can't help but feel a gnawing sense of dread for what awaits us onshore. In a desperate measure to strengthen them for the impending battle, I offer myself to the vampires. The act is deeply personal, unsettling, stirring a primal nature within them that terrifies me. As they accept my offer, I feel an eerie sense of being both necessary and dangerously exposed. The pain and fear mingle with a strange emptiness; have I awoke some dark instinct within them? Alone on the deck, I'm confronted by the stark reality of our situation. The streets of Chicago, now teeming with unknown horrors, are just moments away. John Steeley, one of the few other humans on board, offers me a semblance of comfort, a shared understanding of loving someone who lives in the darkness. But his words only deepen my turmoil. As we approach the shore, I'm torn between fear and determination, between the safety of the known and the terror of the unknown. What awaits us in Chicago? Will my relationship with Eddie and Vic survive the horrors we are about to face? And most importantly, what role do I play in a battle where I feel more like a liability than an asset? The answers lie in the heart of a city that is no longer what it used to be.

With Eddie and Vic, my vampire companions, every day is an unpredictable dance between my new, unconventional reality and the remnants of a life once familiar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am Meredith Gentry, P.I. and Princess Merry, heir to the throne of Fairie. Now there are those among me who whisper I am more. They fear me even as they protect me. And who can blame them? I’ve awakened the dazzling magic that’s slumbered in them for thousands of years. But the thing is, I can’t figure out why. My aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, is no longer distracted by her usual sadistic hobbies. Her obsession has turned unwaveringly to me. The mission to get me pregnant and beat my cousin Prince Cel to the crown is taking longer than expected. Even though I spend each night with the Queen’s Ravens, my immortal guards, no child has come of our decadent pleasures. But something else is happening. My magic courses through me uncontrollably. And as I lock my half-mortal body with their full-Sidhe blooded ones, the power surges like never before. It all began with the chalice. I dreamed of it, and it appeared, cool and hard, beside me when I awoke. My guards know the ancient relic well—its disappearance ages ago stripped them of their vital powers. But it is here with us now. My touch resonates with its force, and they’re consumed with it, their Sidhe essences lit up by it. But even as they cherish me for this unexpected gift, there are those who loathe me for it. Me, a mongrel, only half fey and part mortal. The Unseelie court has suffered for so long, and there are some who would not have it weakened further by an impure queen. My enemies grow in number every day. But they do not know what I am capable of. Nor, for that matter, do I. . . . In Seduced by Moonlight, Laurell K. Hamilton brings the dark, erotic reign of the immortal fey to a startling new depth. Full of sensuality and the consuming anticipation of latent powers unleashed, this world of gods, shapeshifters, and immortal souls is unveiled in all of its supreme magnificence and its treacherous deceits.
