The Road To Hell (Hell On Earth Ser.)
by Jackie KesslerJesse Harris may no longer be a soul-stealing succubus, but she's got a Hell of a past. She'd love to come clean to her sweet, super-hot boyfriend Paul, but how exactly does a girl start that conversation? Just like some people are worth being monogamous for (shudder), some secrets are worth keeping. Like the fact that bad boy incubus Daunuan keeps popping up from the Underworld to put some toe-curling moves on her, and that her former associates are trying to strong-arm her back into the fold. But someone in the Underworld isn't ready to play nice (go figure), and this time, the stakes are nothing less than Paul's immortal soul.

The Road of Life
by Georgia Louise Snelgrove Lorena FrancoThe decisions that we make, as small as they may be, set the course of our life. When Nora Clayton, a magnificent executive vice president of an important pharmaceutical Company in New York, has to fire ten thousand workers who will be substituted with sophisticated machines, she triggers the rage of Bonnie Larson, a woman who is invisible to society, but who comes from a long line of evil witches. After a long time of not having used her magic, she decides to curse Nora, who will watch how her life takes a 180º turn. The people she shares her comfortable life with don’t recognize her, her luxurious apartment on the Upper East Side no longer belongs to her and the only option she is left with is returning to Kutztown (Pennsylvania), her hometown, and to redo the inexistent relationship with her mother and live a life she had not chosen. A story about parallel worlds, about the decisions we don’t make, about memories, life, love and, in the end, fate. A lesson on life in every page.
The Road of the Dead
by Kevin Brooks“Peopled with singular protagonists and downright scary villains, this bleak-yet-romantic tale is a whirlwind ride for the right reader.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)On a storm-ravaged night, a nineteen-year-old girl is kidnapped, raped, and killed. Three days later, her two younger brothers set out in search of her murderer. Cole, seventeen, is a dark-eyed devil who doesn’t care if he lives or dies, while Ruben, fourteen, is a strange child who sometimes, inexplicably, experiences sensations above and beyond his own. This is the story of the boys’ journey from their half-Roma home on a London junk lot to the ghostly moors of Devon, where they hope and fear to find the truth about their sister’s death. It’s a long road, cold and hard and violent. It’s The Road of the Dead.“Fans of Brooks’s Martyn Pig, Kissing the Rain, Candy and Lucas, won’t be disappointed by this thrilling, gritty story and it’s memorable, heart-breaking characters.” —Kirkus Reviews“Brooks’s feel for mood and setting is as masterful here as in his taut, noir Martyn Pig. A haunting, tense drama builds from the first line and only lets up for scenes of brutal, vivid violence that bring readers back down to earth.” —School Library Journal“Brooks succeeds on every level with this enthralling mystery/thriller that will keep readers turning pages well past bedtime. The descriptions are poetic, and the dialogue is lyrical but realistic.” —Horn Book

His problem is that although as a computer he cannot understand irony, he is attempting to write a thesis about comedy, its place in evolution, and whether it can ever be cured. And he is also studying the comedians of the late twentieth century (including obscure and esoteric comedy acts such as Monty Python's Flying Circus) in his search for the comedy gene. <p><p>In the meantime, while auditioning for a gig on the Princess Di (a solar cruise ship), his two employers inadvertently offend the fabulous diva Brenda Woolley and become involved in a terrorist plot against Mars, the home of Showbiz. <p><p>Can Carlton prevent Alex and Lewis from losing their gigs, help them overcome the love thing, and finally understand the meaning of comedy in the universe? Will a robot ever really be able to do stand-up? As Einstein might have said, nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of laughter. <p><p>The Road to Mars was named one of the best books of 1999 by the Los Angeles Times. From the Hardcover edition.
