Download or read book Jon s Downright Ridiculous Shooting Case written by A. J. Sherwood and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose.I'm Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn't like me much. People like to take a swing at me, or go stabbity, or try for a gun. It makes for interesting times. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic--and I do mean ANYTHING, I fry it in seconds--so calling for help isn't always a possibility. I need an anchor, a partner, but I'm resigned: it's just wishful thinking.At least, I thought so until he walked through the door.Donovan Havili looks like a thug and has the soul of a superhero. He shines so bright in my vision it's like watching a supernova. He definitely has the right mindset and skills for this crazy job. But asking anyone to take me on long-term is a bit much. And now we've got multiple cases to handle, a Chinese exchange student falsely accused who needs our help, and someone taking random shots at me. It's a bit much for any new guy to handle and I'm half-afraid that my new partner will run for the door.But in Donovan Havili, the criminal world has met its match. And maybe, just maybe, I have as well.Trigger Warnings:Your average cop show violence and criminalsTags:Companionable snark, Flirting, Kissing, Jon needs a hug, Donovan gives the best hugs, Getting together, Self-esteem issues, Explicit content, Anal Sex, Romantic Sex, Random shooting, Which Donovan isn't happy about, Donovan is a gentleman, Sort of, Jon just makes it REALLY REALLY HARD Okay?, Bisexual character, Public displays of affection, Muscles, Communication, Healthy relationships, The fluff might kill you, Supernatural elements, Modern with Magic, Feels, All the Feels, Mostly accurate medical stuff, Multiple electronics died in the creation of this story, blame Jon

Download or read book Jon s Crazy Head Boppin Mystery written by Aj Sherwood and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm rather used to the crazy cases, because let's face it, most cops can handle the run-of-the-mill with their eyes closed. I'm only called in when the situation is weird or they need to solve the case fast. This case is a little of both. Someone's attacking women as they get off of work, hitting them in the back of the head. What started as a case of battery has steadily built up to homicide. With three murders, six victims, and no leads, the Clarksville PD are desperate to catch the assailant. But there's no real leads for us to follow, either, and for once my eyes can't really help. A madman running around attacking women is bad enough, but the police are demanding answers we can't give them, and they're not taking no for an answer. It's pushing us all past our limits, and frankly, I don't know what's going to break first: The case or Donovan's patience.

Book excerpt: A day-by-day account of Aron Ralston's unforgettable survival story. On Saturday, 26 April 2003, Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old outdoorsman and adventurer, set off for a day's hike in the Utah canyons. Eight miles from his truck, he found himself in the middle of a deep and remote canyon. Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted and snared his right arm against the canyon wall. He was trapped, facing dehydration, starvation, hallucinations and hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted. Five and a half days later, Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that his only hope was to amputate his own arm and get himself to safety. Miraculously, he survived. 127 Hours is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave, honest and above all inspiring account of one man's valiant effort to survive, and is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as Touching the Void.

Download or read book How to Shield an Assassin written by Aj Sherwood and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not stealing if you're stealing it back....Ari had a game plan for life. Shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn't know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl. Things get more complicated when the mercenary, Carter Harrison, approaches him with a job. He needs Ari's expertise to get into the very high-security museum, Knowles, and steal back Monet's Water Lily Pond. The job isn't an easy one. He'd need more than the two of them to make it happen. It's further complicated because Ari's not sure what to do with his new daughter while working this job. And for that matter, how's he supposed to handle the sexy mercenary?

Download or read book Let s Pretend This Never Happened written by Jenny Lawson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Download or read book Talking to Strangers written by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
