Out of Due Season: The First Transit by Benjamin X. Wretlind

This book is an eBook, not a physical book.

Recipient is asked to provide a review in exchange for this book.

Offered by bxwretlind (author): As the author, I appreciate your reviews, especially on LibraryThing, Goodreads and Amazon (after the release date).

Description: What if humanity had a second chance?

On a June afternoon, a body is discovered floating in a remote lake in northwestern Washington. When a recovery team attempts to retrieve it, they make a shocking discovery: 311 other bodies lie under the water, all members of a previously unknown religious cult. However, what appears to be a tragedy of immense proportions is only the beginning.

When a few relatives and friends of the victims discover inconsistencies in the stories, a small group bands together to learn the truth. As government agencies apply pressure for reasons unknown and civil unrest in the country makes communication and movement difficult, this tiny yet determined team unravels what may be the greatest event in recent—if not all—human history.

Something epic is about to happen in that remote lake, and as Father Elijah Jonas tries to convince his followers to abandon the purgatory that is Earth and travel on faith to a new world, competing sides with divergent interests inch ever closer to the truth. The First Transit is for those who follow the rules, while disaster awaits everyone else.

Now the boys are two years old and are on a mission. They can hear each other's thoughts and they say they were born with knowledge about everything on Earth lying dormant in their brains. And that whatever they see for the first time, memories of what it is are rekindled.

They find an alcohol-dependent man in the streets of Francistown, Botswana, whom they decide could do with their help. But just as they think they have taken him off alcohol through their wayward stunts, it dawns on them that he is more than who they thought he was. And now they have more work to do than they had thought...

Witch in the White City: A Dark Historical Fantasy/Mystery by Nick Wisseman

This book is an eBook, not a physical book.

Recipient is asked to provide a review in exchange for this book.

Offered by nickwisseman (author): Hi! I'm hoping for honest reviews. A few words or even just a standalone rating would be great. Thanks for your interest!

Description: Thousands of exhibits. Millions of visitors. One supernatural killer.

Neva's goals at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago are simple. Enjoy the spectacle—perhaps the greatest the United States has ever put on (the world’s fair to end all world’s fairs!). Perform in the exposition’s Algerian Theatre to the best of her abilities. And don't be found out as a witch.

Easy enough … until the morning she looks up in the theatre and sees strangely marked insects swarming a severed hand in the rafters. Before she can scream, the bugs drop and swarm her.

And every one of them seems to have a stinger.

They strike fast—it only takes them a moment to inject her with so much venom that the same strange marks begin to rise on her skin. She's horrified, but there's worse to come: once the insects disperse, a Columbian Guard notices her rashes and warns that five people with similar sores have been murdered and dismembered. Before they died, the victims also seem to have lost their minds.

Neva considers fleeing the exposition. But that won't stop her from going mad. So she marshals her powers and searches for the killer.

Within hours, it becomes clear he's searching for her too.

An intricate story with a breakneck pace, Witch in the White City blends history, mystery, and magic in a way that will appeal to fans of The Devil in the White City, The Golem and the Jinni, and Black Leopard, Red Wolf.

Description: It's a cold day in a run-down mining town on the edge of the moors, and the richest man in town has been smashed off the road. It's not normal for Detective Sergeant Izzy Tranter to be given a road traffic collision to investigate - there's more to this case than meets the eye. To cap it all, the apparently guilty party is going out with Izzy's daughter, so in theory, she shouldn't really be working this case at all. She doesn't really care if her daughter's idiot boyfriend is convicted of manslaughter, but does she care if an innocent man is?

Who is behind the dark forces that the spirits have warned him about and can their advice be trusted?

Now it’s time for T7 to choose.

Or will they take back control, and decide to break the system for good?

Will they obey?
Or defy?

The Runner's Last Ride by T.R Whittier (WhittierSideBooks)

This book is an eBook, not a physical book.

Recipient is asked to provide a review in exchange for this book.

Offered by TRWhittier (author): Author/Publisher seeking reviews for/interest in an unusual little novel.

Description: Paige Turner (or ‘Pah-hee-na, as she would rather be called) isn’t your typical Poor Little Rich Girl. She couldn’t care less about clothing. Parties make her sick – literally. And if an eligible bachelor so much as slips an arm across her shoulders, she can’t help screaming bloody blue murder before running a mile.
Because that’s what she is, see... A Runner.
When the going gets rough, she goes and gets overwhelmed; her mind shuts down and she can’t think straight. Or at all, really. And that’s when the dreaded feeling comes over her – the tingling in her spine, the blood pounding in her ears, the hammering of her heart as it crashes against the wall of her chest. And it’s like she’ll die if she doesn’t just get the hell away from it all.
But when her hearty-partying sister is found dead on the sidewalk outside The Gramercy Rose Hotel, Pah-hee-na takes ‘getting away’ to a whole new level. Instead of just shying away from her resulting stress and sadness, she runs away. Far, far away. Pah-hee-na Runs...using a pretty sweet set of wheels, that is.
But Running is more likely to land her in Hell (no, no...not that one) than help her catch a murderer...isn’t it?
With the help of a sexy, mysterious stranger, a jumbo-sized jack-of-all-trades, and an apparition (or possibly two), Pah-hee-na Turner is about to find out. And she’s in for the ride of her life.

Description: International chef Jake Hardy has it all, celebrity, thriving career, plenty of friends, a happy family and faithful dog—until one day when a tragic accident tears it all apart. Struggling to recover, Hardy finds himself in a strange new world—a snow-swept prairie town that time forgot—a place where nothing makes sense. Cold is beautiful. Simple is complex. And doubts begin to surface about whether Jake’s tragedy was truly an accident after all. As the sun sets in the Land of Living Skies, Hardy and his glamourous, seventy-eight-year-old transgender neighbour find themselves ensnared in multiple murders separated by decades.

In Bidulka’s “love letter to life on the prairies” he delivers a story of grief and loss that manages to burst with joy, tenderness and hope. Redolent of his earlier works, Going to Beautiful brings us unexpected, under-represented characters in settings that immediately feel familiar and beloved.

Beautiful—a place where what you need may not be what you were looking for.

Brain Worms: How Right-Wing Propaganda Destroys Reason, Conscience, and Democracy by Adam Glenn (A.G. Press)

Recipient is asked to provide a review in exchange for this book.

Offered by adamglenn (author): Hello! I’m the author, hoping for honest reviews. Thanks for your interest!

Description: The American Right is running humanity off a cliff. Climate change is accelerating, threatening to destroy the planet. Social and economic inequality continue to worsen, preventing millions of people from living up to their potential. We’re lucky we haven’t blown ourselves up yet in a nuclear war—the possibility of which is now greater than ever. Our political institutions are becoming brittle, preventing us from governing ourselves in accordance with our goals. These problems persist despite readily-available solutions. Why? Because the Right has driven half the country insane. They’ve spent decades inundating us with propaganda, destroying much of our capacity to consider, let alone implement solutions to society’s most urgent problems. Brain Worms sheds light on how elites and their supporters—particularly on the Right—trick people into accepting ideas that run contrary to society’s interests, and exposes the ideological barriers we need to overcome if we hope to make the world livable for future generations, and in the meantime bring about meaningful improvements to peoples’ lives.

Description: ¿Quién es el Ogro del Júcar?
Un crimen sin precedentes en la Cuenca de los años sesenta: una monja aparece brutalmente asesinada en la capilla del colegio femenino donde es profesora, su cadáver profanado en una burla sacrílega de la imagen de la Virgen Dolorosa, patrona de la congregación. Es el 15 de septiembre, fiesta de las Angustias, y el corazón de la madre Purificación aparece atravesado por los siete puñales que representan los siete pecados capitales en el corazón de la imagen. La ciudad teme que este sea solo el primero de una serie de asesinatos rituales, ante la aparición de nuevas pistas y señuelos: aquel otoño queda marcado por una sucesión inesperada de profanaciones en diversas ermitas y enclaves especiales de la hoz del Júcar. La sombra de un ogro, el “Ogro del Júcar”, como pronto será bautizado por la prensa de la época y la voz popular, se cierne sobre la hermosa y pétrea ciudad de provincias, plácida hasta entonces. Las niñas, alumnas internas del colegio, serán testigos directos de la investigación llevada a cabo por el veterano inspector jefe Cánovas y su mano derecha, el joven subinspector Tuñón, con la ayuda del padre Lobo y la madre Líber, en una historia donde nada es lo que parece, una cuento de terror, de amor y de amistad, de fiera hermandad, cuyo final no dejará a nadie indiferente. Esta novela, Ogro, es la primera parte de una obra tripartita denominada Trilogía del Ogro: Cuentos de viejas, cuyas próximas dos entregas (la segunda, ya en proyecto, denominada Al amor de la lumbre) transcurrirán igualmente en la ciudad y la provincia de Cuenca, en la misma época y contexto, con los personajes que ya conocemos como protagonistas.———————————————————————————————————————-SOBRE LA SERIE “Mas hoy en día, vemos que muchos toman deleite en leer las caballerías de Artús o de Lancelote y otras fábulas de ese género, no solamente provocantes a la tiranía, sino absolutamente ineruditas, necias, propias para ser recitadas por viejas para engañar el sueño al amor de la lumbre” (Erasmo de Rotterdam, 1516). ¿Por qué “Cuentos de viejas” o “Al amor de la lumbre”? Porque, frente a lo que se ha entendido siempre y todavía hoy, al menos en el mundo occidental, por “saber erudito” (un saber que no emergía de las mujeres ni siquiera cuando eran viejas, como bien apunta Erasmo), lo que quiero de mis libros es justamente lo contrario. No busco excitar intelectuales con mis novelas. Eso lo dejo para otras y otros, que lo harán con más empeño y mejor oficio que yo. Yo, mucho más humilde, lo que quiero es entretenerme y entretener a quienes disfruten leyéndome, engañar el sueño al amor de la lumbre, escribiendo justamente eso: cuentos de viejas al amor de la lumbre.
