FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- NINE ANGELS (SOFT TARGET SERIES) by Conrad Jones
Chapter 1
They’re coming
How would you start a book about
evil? I’m used to telling stories but not like this one, not the truth. I
write fiction but this story is real. They say that fact is stranger
than fiction and it is correct. There is more evil in the real world
than in any fictional one. Where shall I begin? At the beginning, I
guess. The night it all began, the moon was shining and silver lined the
clouds as they dashed across the night sky. Does it sound right or does
it sound like a teenage horror book? Actually, it was a dark and stormy
night and I could hear the sound of howling in the distance. It might
be the ideal way to begin a horror story or a book about zombies but
this is not fantasy.
As I write this book, the weather is bad right
now, the news is full of flash floods, and chaos as the country grinds
to a halt. You know what I mean when that happens. No rain for a week
and we have a drought, hosepipe bans and advice on how to save water,
right? Three inches of snow and the roads are blocked and everyone
blames the government for not having enough grit. Anyway, back to the
story. The rain is hammering against the windows and jagged flashes of
lightning are shooting across the sky illuminating the trees outside. It
seems like the perfect time to start a book about evil and I really
wish I was making it up but this is no fairytale or work of fiction. I
have to pinch myself to see if I am awake because I wish it was all just
a dream but it is not. It was real. It is real and although I have
created many books, I could not have imagined this story. Beware readers
for this is a shocking tale that will disturb you and make you question
my grip on reality, and your own too. If you are expecting tales of
vampires or werewolves, fur and fangs, then you will be disappointed.
You will tell your friends that it cannot be real but as I listen to the
wind gusting against the windows and the lightning flashes against the
blackness of the sky, I can still hear their screams in my mind.

wedding -- and the monstrously pink bridesmaid's dress isn't even on
the list. When Effie finds herself locked in the bathroom, she thinks
she might just stay there. After all, it's better than hearing from her
mom about how often she's been to the buffet or how beautiful Ophelia
looks in her wedding dress.
In this hysterical young adult short
story, Effie will have to find a reason to celebrate... or get used to
her porcelain throne.
Sample:
5 (Totally Selfish) Reasons I Do Not Want George As A Brother-In-Law
5.)
My sister is only 20, and he is 29. That means he’s almost thirty,
which means that when she’s forty, he’ll be almost fifty, and then when
she’s fifty, he’ll be almost sixty. Too old.
4.) He just
graduated med school. People never see their spouses when one is a
doctor. And on Grey’s Anatomy, the doctors are always sleeping with the
other doctors and nurses. Ophelia is cute, but she can’t compete with a
tall, blonde-haired millionaire doctor. (Sorry, Ophelia.)
3.)
He’s too nice. Nice is lame. Ophelia will be SO BORED when she’s like,
23 and realizes that her older, doctor boyfriend is too busy saving
lives and golfing to go out clubbing.
2.) He’s too good looking. Again, the nurses are bound to fall in love with him.
1.)
I will never be able to bring a boyfriend home without him also being a
good-looking, well mannered doctor. Which means that I am going to be
single for the rest of my life, while my sister and her husband make
lots of good-looking doctor babies. I will have lots of cats.

This amusing travelogue describes the adventures of three intrepid
inter-railers who endure water cannons, arrests, undesirables and each
other during a hot, sticky month that left most of the continent dazed,
confused and smelling of "inter-rail feet".
Be prepared to come
off the moral high ground as you follow three 'up-for-it' young men
across Europe. I defy anyone who does not find themselves chuckling at
Bassett and Ferris' sardonic and cheeky wit...In 'Don't Lean Out of the
Window', culture is left behind while anything , or anyone, foreign, is
at the mercy of these guys' satire.
Both men and women will
revel in this read - men because of the hilarious (and it really is)
schoolboy humour, and women, because they will be quietly amused at the
(mainly futile) efforts of these boys in attracting the opposite sex.
Anyone who has been inter-railing on a tight budget will relish this
book - but the experience is by no means a prerequisite.

“You are in Paris, the City of Love. You must not be so controlled. Here, have another glass. I promise you, it will not hurt.”
When
29-year-old event planner Chloe Turner wakes up penniless and without a
passport in the Plaza Athénée Hotel in Paris, she only has a few
fleeting memories of Claude, the suave French man who convinced her to
have that extra glass of wine before taking all of her possessions and
slipping out the door. As the overly organized, go-to gal for her three
drama queen younger sisters, her anxiety-ridden father, and her needy
clients, Chloe is normally prepared for every disaster that comes her
way. But with her wedding to her straight-laced, lawyer fiancé back in
DC only days away and a French con-man on the loose with her engagement
ring, this is one catastrophe she never could have planned for.
As
Chloe tries to figure out a way home, she runs into an even bigger
problem—the police are after her due to suspicious activity now tied to
her bank account. Chloe's only hope at retrieving her passport and
clearing her name lies in the hands of a rugged, undercover agent named
Julien who has a few secrets of his own. As Chloe follows this
mysterious, and—although she doesn't want to admit it—sexy French man on
a wild chase through the sun-kissed countryside of France, she
discovers a magical world she never knew existed and has to decide if
the perfectly ordered life she’s built for herself back home is really
what she wants after all.

WHEN TEENAGE GIRLS VANISH in what was once considered a safe, Louisiana
bayou town, the lives of four desperate young locals take unexpected
turns, begging the crucial question: Do you every truly know those
closest to you?
When nineteen-year-old Tiffany Perron vanishes
from rural Grand Trespass, Louisiana, best friend HALEY LANDRY's
relationship with her boyfriend becomes increasingly strained. To make
matters worse, her impressionable younger sister BECKY has begun
idolizing an impetuous, seductive 15 year old who's encouraging her to
do dangerous things.
Meanwhile, ERICA DUVALL, a reclusive
19-year-old aspiring writer, befriends Haley. Ten years earlier, Erica’s
mother abandoned her, leaving her with the womanizing used car salesman
father she loathes. She’s decided to write a novel based on Tiffany’s
disappearance; a novel that she hopes will lead to a reunion with her
estranged novelist mother.
RACHEL ANDERSON, a 36-year-old mother
of two, is having trouble coming to terms with her husband, TOM’s,
affair with the missing girl—a relationship that supposedly ended
shortly before Tiffany’s disappearance. What’s more, she comes to the
blood curdling realization that someone is watching her through the
large back windows of her house.
A DISTURBED MAN also lives in
the area. Ever since his mother’s murder four years earlier, he’s been
raising his insolent teenage sister, ALLIE, who sleeps with truck
drivers for money. He considers women to be dangerous—and his world
revolves around his fear and hatred for them. He’s terrified of his
sister, knowing she’s intent on pushing him over the edge.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- The Last Waltz - New Edition by G. G. Vandagriff
It is December of 1913 in Vienna and Amalia Faulhaber is surrounded by
the whirlwind that is the life of a nineteen-year-old socialite. She is
comfortable and confident in her wealth, her heritage, and most of all,
in her engagement to the Prussian baron, Eberhard von Waldburg. All this
comes crashing to a halt the day that her fiance informs her that their
engagement is off since he is returning to Prussia to fight in what he
is sure will be a glorious war.
Thus begins the tale of a heroine
of extraordinary background and resource who develops into a woman who
would be extraordinary in any age.
The men in her life—a German
officer in World War I, a patriotic Polish doctor, and an Austrian
Baron, all shape her, but more remarkably she shapes them. Her utopian
socialist uncle has raised her with ideas outside those of the upper
classes, imparting to her a more complete picture of the day than
possessed by the other men in her life. This quality causes her to
champion the Austrian Democratic Experiment and to especially mourn its
demise.
The Last Waltz is full of little known history of a land
that was, in 1913, the apex of the worlds of science, medicine, art, and
music. The speed with which the five-hundred year old empire fell, and
the reasons behind that failure carry many warnings for the world we
live in today.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- One Day as a Tiger by Alan Taylor Alan Taylor
This is a book that has everything. History, romance, mystery and a
sense of being in India during the end of the British Raj. Most of all
it is highly imaginative and extremely colourful. The descriptions of
places, of food, of customs and events is compelling. Spoilt and
inebriated Maharajas, snake charmers and mystic sadhus all add to the
appeal of an exceptional saga.
The introduction of an immoral
secret service agent and a god who is learning to be a deity - into the
cast of characters - is fascinating. No matter how much you liked all
the other books about India in the last few decades, I guarantee this
one will not disappoint.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- The List by C. D. Baker
When the British arrive in Philadelphia in September of 1777, General
Washington is confused. The maneuver was unexpected. As history would
later reveal, an influential Philadelphia loyalist had promoted an
idea...an idea involving a secret list of men who might secure the final
defeat of the patriots.
Was this list the reason for the British
seizure of the city? What of the mystery of its surprise disappearance?
And what of the conflict the Browne family endured as a divided family
in a divided city?
'The List' is a well-researched historical
fiction based on one of the great mysteries of the American Revolution.
An entertaining, enlightening read for all ages, Baker's novel tells the
untold story that changed the course of history.
