Life after death just got deadlier. Mrs. Beatrice Timmons (aka Miss Knight) is thoroughly unimpressed by the troop of monkeys that have invaded her kitchen. Of course, that's only the beginning of the influx of undesirable critters. When a giant spider appears in the garden, Mrs. Timmons knows there's trouble brewing and it's not served with tea. A choice must be made: agree to an unholy alliance or endanger an unborn child? To confound matters further, her husband disapproves of the whole venture. And that's before Mrs. Timmons vanishes into the Underworld to pay an unsolicited visit to the God of Death. While it's all for a good cause, the consequences could be dire."I really enjoyed it."A Spider Comes Calling is the sixth case in "Society for Paranormals", where African myth meets Victorian manners.

New York Times bestselling authors A.K. Alexander and Jen Greyson are back with everyone’s favorite new Assassin from The Archangel Agenda. Evangeline Heart isn’t giving up without a fight as she returns in The God Game to locate the next relic in hopes of unlocking the back gate to Hell.
Evangeline Heart (Lina) is on the quest to save her fiancé Griffin’s soul from Hell—literally. It seems as if the Angel of Death Azazel has stolen Griffin’s soul from entering the gates of Heaven after he was murdered in retaliation for a hired kill of Lina’s. Now, Lina has been strongly urged to rescue the love of her life’s soul by the Archangel Metatron who claims she is the only one with this capability…
Metatron has assembled a unique team to help Lina on her quest to locate three ancient relics that hold the keys to unlocking the gates of Hell--a scholar as ancient as the relics he knows about, with a slipping mind and fierce fervor for the cause, a flippant but very cute professional thief who doesn’t take anything serious, except maybe the day’s fantasy football picks, and Lina's aging mentor recovering from hip surgery round out her crew.
Lina soon realizes that The Angel of Death and his foot soldiers will do whatever they can to keep her from succeeding, and while she’s used to having bad guys after her, looking over her shoulder in The God Game has upped the ante to an entirely new level. Views: 39

South Brooklyn. Not the Brooklyn of Spike Lee or Matty Rich, but acounterpoint: those left behind in the white flight. Mike is 19 and atloose ends: driving for Big Lou's Car Service and trying to decide ifhe should stay in college or drift into the omnipresent arena of localorganized crime. Mike's life is changed forever as he's forced toconfront the grim realities of wiseguy justice and his own culpabilityin its execution. Echoing such urban low-life classics as Price's The Wanderers and Selby's Last Exit, this novel offers an honest, unromantic look at Brooklyn's underclass. Tim McLoughlin was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he still resides. He is employed in the King's County Supreme Court. Critical praise for Heart of the Old Country: "Set in the depths of working-class Brooklyn, this zippy first novel reads like an inspired cross between Richard Price's Bloodbrothersand Ross Macdonald's The Chill-part coming-of-age story,part thriller. Streetwise 19-year-old protagonist Mike spends his daysdriving for a car service and his nights attending college part-time.While trying to figure out which endeavor is more futile, he winds upon the periphery of a murder that will forever alter his destiny. Addto the mix Mike's marriage-minded neighborhood girlfriend, hisborderline-wiseguy bookie dad, and a sexy and sophisticated coedtemptress, and you've got all the ingredients for what may be a wholenew genre: Call it mook noir. A-"-Tom Sinclair, Entertainment Weekly "Tim McLoughlin writes about South Brooklyn with a fidelity to people and place reminiscent of James T. Farrell's Studs Lonigan and George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London.Among the achievements of his swiftly paced narrative is a cast ofauthentic and frequently complex characters whose voices reflect dreamsand love as well as desperation to survive. No voice in this symphonyof a novel is more impressive than that of Mr. McLoughlin, a youngwriter with a rare gift for realism and empathy."-Sidney Offit, authorof Memoir of the Bookie's Son Views: 39
