Download or read book A Cursed Midlife written by Lia Davis and published by Davis Raynes Publishing Group, LLC. This book was released on 2023-01-27 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Necromancer trainee, book seller, novel writer Ava Harper is settling into her new life with friends and her houseguests. And she definitely isn’t thinking about a certain hunky sheriff who pops in unannounced at every turn. And mostly ignoring her devilish new neighbor, a lingering Christmas present from herself. She has bigger things to worry about. Like learning her newly woken powers. And convincing her house that she isn’t selling it so it will stop scaring off any visitors. Plus, she’s teaching a ghoul to use a computer. Why shouldn’t he? He can’t talk, he might as well be able to use social media. Her life gets more complicated when the local coven decides Ava has dodged them for long enough. She doesn’t have any interest in joining the coven. She’s everything they turn their nose up at. A necromancer with a weird ability to heal people. But they want her. When other coven members fall victim to freak accidents, Ava is sure something dark is at play. And the more Ava learns about the so-called accidents the more her past haunts her. Once again, she puts her trust in her friends—and the deliciously mysterious man in charge of the local law enforcement—to get to the bottom of whoever is targeting witches.

Download or read book Hope Screams Eternal written by Robin Knabel and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not everything that emerges in springtime is meant to come to life. The proverbial expression "Hope springs eternal" was coined by English poet and satirist Alexander Pope, meaning people will keep on hoping, no matter the odds. But what if the odds aren''t in your favor? We decided to change the phrase into something a little more unsettling: Hope Screams Eternal. Spring hearkens thoughts of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection, and regrowth. What happens when creative minds nurture a more sinister mindset, awakening twisted and nefarious interpretations of the season of eternal hope? Authors, poets, and artists from around the globe accepted our challenge to answer that question. Within these pages, they do their best to unsettle you as they explore the dark side of spring. The seeds of doubt they sow will burrow into your subconscious, lying in wait to hatch when you least expect it. So get cozy, settle into your comfiest seat, and relax (but don''t let down your guard!) as we bring your hopes and fears to life.
