Tom Fairchild is a man
with a past he can’t shake. He’s struggling to make it as a graphic
artist, but his probation officer thinks he belongs in jail. When
millionaire Miami real estate developer Stuart Barlowe offers him
$50,000 to travel to Italy to duplicate a rare Renaissance map, Tom sees
a way to solve his problems. The only catch is that Barlowe’s daughter,
Allison, a map expert herself, has to supervise the project. Allison
and Tom fell in love as teenagers, but that was twelve years ago, and
now Allison thinks Tom is lying. There’s no way he can make a perfect
copy. Tom soon suspects that Barlowe wants a forgery, not a duplicate. He just doesn’t know why,
and Allison isn’t talking. When people start turning up dead, and Tom
and Allison realize they are being tailed by two men—one a ruthless hit
man and the other a rogue government agent—it quickly becomes clear that
they have no one to trust but each other. Views: 174

Finding your one true love can be a Grimm experience!
After her boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, sophomore Savannah Delano wishes she could find a true prince to take her to the prom. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother.

Finally she sends Tristan, a boy in Savannah’s class, back instead to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. When Savannah returns to the Middle Ages to save Tristan, they must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight.

When Private Matt Duffy wakes up in an army hospital in Iraq, he's honored with a Purple Heart. But he doesn't feel like a hero.
There's a memory that haunts him: an image of a young Iraqi boy as a bullet hits his chest. Matt can't shake the feeling that he was somehow involved in his death. But because of a head injury he sustained just moments after the boy was shot, Matt can't quite put all the pieces together.
Eventually Matt is sent back into combat with his squad—Justin, Wolf, and Charlene—the soldiers who have become his family during his time in Iraq. He just wants to go back to being the soldier he once was. But he sees potential threats everywhere and lives in fear of not being able to pull the trigger when the time comes. In combat there is no black-and-white, and Matt soon discovers that the notion of who is guilty is very complicated indeed.

Purge is a beautifully crafted memoir that has a Girl, Interrupted feel. In this raw and engaging account of her months in rehab, Nicole Johns documents her stay in a residential treatment facility for eating disorders. Her prose is lucid and vivid, as she seamlessly switches verb tenses and moves through time. She unearths several important themes: body image and sexuality, sexual assault and relationships, and the struggle to piece together one's path in life. While other books about eating disorders and treatment may sugarcoat the harsh realities of living with and recovering from an eating disorder, Purge does not hold back.

Purge sends a message: though the... Views: 170
