Download or read book Kilburne 1 written by Jens Christian Borch - Jensen and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seemed like Johnathan Pearce’s biggest problem was the arrival of a little brother just a month before his birthday. Now, his parents keep insisting they have something planned, that they have not forgotten. Of course, John never found out if they meant it. In fact, he never got to spend more than a few days as an older brother. The day he returned with his family from the hospital was when an incident occurred in his small American hometown of Ferman. It’s not a day that will be recorded in history; for all intents and purposes, a freak storm descended on the city and destroyed his house and a nearby recycling plant. But John knows the truth. After all, it was him that drove off the monster. How, he doesn’t quite know, but now a one-footed lady has decided to mentor him so that he can get his powers under control. And John is going to need to learn all he can. That monster was just the first. More of them are coming, and they almost seem to have a purpose. But someone couldn’t be deliberately summoning them, could they? Kilburne is a biographical tale of John Kilburne, detailing his life from when he was young and far into the future. The first in the series, Bed of Roses, tells the story of how he came to his powers and how he learnt to control them. It is a series that has been long underway for me, something that I have been writing for over a decade under many different names and set at various points in time. Kilburne, however, is my most serious and polished attempt, and I cannot wait to write more in the series. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I had writing it.

For the first time in Killington High School history, the Jackrabbits football team is one win away from the district championship where it will face its most vicious rival, the Elmwood Heights Badgers. On the way to the game, the Jackrabbits's bus plunges into a river, killing every player except for bad-boy quarterback Cole Logan who is certain the crash was no accident-given that Cole himself was severely injured in a brutal attack by three ski-masked men earlier that day. Bent on payback, Cole turns to a mysterious fan skilled in black magic to resurrect his teammates. But unless the undead Jackrabbits defeat their murderous rival on the field, the team is destined for hell. In a desperate race against time, with only his coach's clever daughter, Savannah Hickman, to assist him, Cole must lead his zombie team to victory . . . in a final showdown where the stakes aren't just life or death-but damnation or salvation.

I could handle Tripp McCain when we only saw each other while our friends hung out, or when we had a class together. He was easy to ignore.

Tripp wasn’t supposed to be the one to show up to help me, and he sure as heck isn’t supposed to walk around shirtless. I shouldn't like it and I definitely should not have kissed him. I’m all about giving second chances, but there’s a reason the rich boy had to move in with the girl who needs money.
