And the Vampires want her blood. A dark figure murdered Larissa Norton's father before coming after her and her mother. To save Larissa, her mother placed her on a train, where she fell asleep and later woke up alone... and very confused. See, vampires don't sleep. That train delivered her to the safety of a coven where witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters live and learn together. She discovered the coven was more than it appeared, much more. It was a school full of orphans like her. All needing to learn how to hone their abilities and live in the world of humans. The adults vowed to protect Larissa and help her find out what happened to her mother, and more importantly, what was after her. In the coven, Larissa found a feeling of belonging and comfort, especially in the forbidden fruit of the one of the witch's mortal son. What the coven found in Larissa was more than they bargained for. Larissa was a child of three worlds, and her past was more complicated and darker than anyone could imagine, and worst of all, someone was out for her blood, literally. Welcome to Coven Cove, a new world created by international best-selling paranormal author David Clark.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” —The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.
