Valley of Shadows
by Phoenix EmrysEllery James, a celebrated author of historical romances, shuns the spotlight, preferring the solitude of his small town sanctuary to risking media scrutiny. He harbors a closely guarded secret that is not only the bane of his existence, but the source and inspiration of his bestsellers. His strictly proscribed existence goes south and sideways when the grimly dangerous Boone Dantrell blazes into Ellery's life. Ellery is alarmed to experience a tentative but undeniable connection to the haunted, mysterious stranger with secrets of his own, and the burgeoning attraction between them grows almost as swiftly as the danger dogging Boone. They've barely met before their secrets and worlds collide, thrusting them both into unimaginable peril. The battle they must wage together spans this world--and the next--and losing it could cost them not only their lives, but their very souls.
Valley of Shadows
by Steven CooperA cop. A psychic. And a dead socialite. Who killed Viveca Canning and where is the Dali masterpiece that hung on the walls of her estate? So many people had a motive. Phoenix Detective Alex Mills is on the case with the help of his sometimes-psychic buddy Gus Parker. You won’t find another duo like them. And once you hop on the wild ride, you won’t want to get off. Who will survive a doomed flight over the Pacific? Who tried to blow up an art gallery? Who saw Viveca Canning as a threat and shot her twice in the head? Those questions hound Gus and Alex as the case unravels. It’s an art caper wrapped in a murder mystery. The Valley of the Sun becomes a Valley of Shadows, where everyone has something to hide and the truth lies beneath Phoenix in a labyrinth of tunnels and dungeons. There’s a lot at stake for Gus and Alex. With the case swirling all around them, the future of Gus and his rock n’ roll girlfriend hangs in the balance. For Alex, it’s a test of family loyalties as a health scare for his wife brings him to the breaking point. Cooper’s style is, at once, scorching and wry. He deftly and seamlessly mixes thrills and chills with snark and wit. There’s good and evil, love and despair, compassion, deceit, and danger. The action swerves around twists and turns and collides with a cast of characters you will not soon forget.
Vamp Camp (Vamp Camp Chronicles #2)
by Wynn WagnerVamp Camp Chronicles: Book OneDid Mårten Larsson want to be a vamp? Not so much. He wanted it as much as he asked to have a sissy circle over the å in his name. He just woke up dead one day with a piece of paper that said, "Dude, you're a vampire. Drink some blood. Don't suntan." Luckily, another vampire finds Mårten and agrees to teach him how to live (well, not live, exactly) as a vampire. And so Mårten goes to Vamp Camp, where he has to survive without getting staked or baked, learn how to work with fangs and blood lust while spending time with his boyfriend, and employ his wicked wit as he masters the art and science of vampirism.
Vamped
by David SosnowskiMartin Kowalski is an eighty-year-old man stuck in a twenty-year-old body. He works the graveyard shift. He has a poster of Bela Lugosi on his wall and a box of uneaten Count Chocula in his pantry. He drinks stem-cell-derived blood from cleverly packaged and marketed juice boxes. He is, in short, a vampire. But since his wildly successful scheme to turn as many mortals as possible into vampires -- "vamp" them rather than kill them -- resulted in a new immortal majority, Marty finds little of interest to fill his countless days. From the deeply imaginative mind of David Sosnowski -- who gave us the critically acclaimed junkie-angel classic Rapture -- bursts this neo-vampire novel studded with pint-size vampires known as "screamers" (children who were vamped and are none too happy about it); priest vampires who helped convert their flock into lifetime members of the Church; stripper vampires who lap-danced their way into customers' veins; and one very small, very outspoken human girl. When Marty decides to end his endless life of soul-crushing ennui -- call it vampire affluenza -- a three-foot blond obstacle is thrown in his path: Isuzu Trooper Cassidy, a refugee from a human hunting preserve. At first he thinks "midnight snack," but before the sun comes up, Isuzu is the one snacking on his prized cereal collection as she charms him into staying undead long enough to raise her in a world rife with danger and almost entirely populated by vampires yearning for the taste of real human blood. The critics applauded David Sosnowski when Rapture was published, saying he "staked out a patch of turf somewhere between Franz Kafka and Douglas Adams." Now with Vamped, Sosnowski takes on a time-honored genre and breathes new life into it by turning Martin Kowalski's vampire world upside down and telling his story with rich, masterful, and frequently hilarious prose.

Vampiras Lésbicas Nazistas
by Stephen HernandezNos meses mais sombrios da Segunda Guerra Mundial, quando as forças nazistas se espalham pela Europa como uma praga, o SS-Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich descobre uma arma secreta com o potencial de mudar permanentemente o curso da guerra. A lenda fala de um castelo remoto escondido nas montanhas dos Cárpatos. Por baixo, mora um mal antigo: um vampiro mestre, conhecido apenas como o Conde, e suas seis belas concubinas. Nas ordens de Hitler, Heydrich é encarregado de encontrá-los e trazê-los de volta para Berlim. No entanto, enquanto despertar vampiros é uma coisa, controlá-los é outra completamente diferente, particularmente aqueles que são famintos e cheios de desejo depois de anos de sono. Afinal, jovens soldados fortes e saudáveis proporcionam melhor sustento - e diversão - do que prisioneiros desnutridos ou cidadãos desmoralizados. Muito em breve, os nazistas aprenderão exatamente quem é a verdadeira "raça suprema". E, para seu horror, descobrirão que, ao tentarem cegar a dominação, podem ter desencadeado o inferno na terra.
