    The Small Dark Room of the Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min
    There can be no light without darkness.The sun cannot rise without night preceding it, and the setting sun of the day must inevitably fade to black. If life were all sunshine and roses, there would be no contrast. Perpetual sunshine would be both blinding and devastating. We need the darkness. It is an integral part of the whole.Part of us.Horror stories are a reflection of our darker side. In an age of very real terrors like A.I.D.S., cancer, and terrorism, stories that frighten us can perform a useful function by allowing listeners to live out and experience fear in a controlled fashion and deal with horror on their own terms. If it gets to be too much, they can always close the book and put it away. Experiencing horror in this way works as an anxiety release because it is a tangible way to deal with and escape the terrors of modern living....Through the ages, countless spiritual disciplines have urged us to look within ourselves and seek the truth. Part of that truth resides in a small, dark room - one we are afraid to enter.If we can only push aside the dark door of fear that holds us at bay and rescue the part of our souls that cringes in the dark, we might come to a better understanding of what makes us tick.The Small Dark Room of the Soul and Other Stories is a collection of 14 short horror stories - and all the monsters are human....Do you dare peer into the dark mirror of our collective soul?  "Bravo!

    The Dragon's Ambivalent Sacrifice (The Last Dragons, #2) (eBook, ePUB)
    After years of abuse, she believed she was worth nothing. But when she is sacrificed to a dragon she becomes his treasure. Born of violence, Beryl is the biggest and brawniest of his dragon shifter brothers. His beast loves a good fight and has been nicknamed The Hulk after his heroes; Incredible and Hogan. When his last fight gets out of control and his dragon nearly kills another shifter, he knows the only thing that will wrangle the beast is a female sacrifice. However, when the human he's destined to mate with arrives, she's small and meek and cringes from his touch. With a prostitute as a mother and a pimp as a boyfriend, Poppy is all too familiar with the violent tendencies of the opposite sex. The unsightly spots on her skin make her unsuitable for work on the streets. Her lack of skills in the kitchen disqualify her as a domestic goddess. So when she is sacrificed to a fire breathing dragon, she's certain it's as a late night snack. Though the hulking man's gentle touch awakens a desire she's never felt before, his brutish ways aggravate the wounds she keeps hidden. Beryl realizes he can't continue to brawl and earn his timid mate's trust. He's willing to be patient, but with each day she isn't claimed, his beast gets worse and other shifters become more of a threat. To accept Beryl's claim, Poppy will need to overcome her past and learn to love herself, something she's not sure she could ever do -even for the gentle giant she's falling for. If you love alpha male shifters, fated mates, and steamy romance with a touch of 80's nostalgia, then you don't want to miss The Last Dragons series!

    Treachery In Death: In Death, Book 32 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min
    In a New York City fifty years in the future, Detective Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law - including the ones sworn to uphold it. Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a brutal, senseless crime - an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. And for the first time, Peabody is primary detective on the case, which means she has to get used to a new level of authority and responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve. But after rounding up the perps, Peabody stumbles upon a much trickier situation. Determined to start working out as hard as she grills suspects, she chooses to do it at the old, rarely-used gym at Central. After a grueling workout, she squeezes into one of the narrow shower stalls, happy to have the place to herself. Just after she shuts the water off, the gym door clatters open - and while she cringes inside the stall, trying not to make a sound, Peabody overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. References are made to delivering product, and a house in the islands, and someone named Keener who’s supposed to look like an OD. It doesn’t take long for a naked and vulnerable Peabody to realize that both officers are crooked - guilty not just of corruption but of murder as well. Fortunately, the two clear out of the locker room without realizing there was a witness.Eve Dallas may have trained Peabody well - but this is too dangerous for one person to take on alone. Now Peabody, Eve, and her husband, Roarke, must try to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down - knowing all the while that the two have already killed to keep their secret, and are no doubt willing to do it again. ungekürzt.
