Pages : 216
Book Description
I became the face of the human revolution over night. After I ended the trials, possibly forever, the Governors vanished taking my mother and leaving no traces behind. The city is on fire, and although I'd love to sit back and watch it burn there's a new problem at hand. The Governors plan to use a magical device to throw the entire country into an even more barbaric version of the Vampire Trials. My supernatural mates and I may be the only ones standing in between the world, and complete self destruction. As time dwindles and we try to gather the magical artifacts before them, mysteries of my life begin to unravel. I realize that in a magical world where nothing is as it seems, neither am I. I'm tested beyond my breaking point and I begin to question whether holding on to my humanity is even worth it. It's become so much bigger than my freedom alone. Now the weight of humanity rests on my shoulders, but as more supernatural things start to happen around me I start to question- Does that weight even belong there?

Pages : 228
Book Description
Common sense tells you that you would know if you were evil, but what about the freaking anti-christ? Quite ironically, my name is Faith, and up until a few days ago I was just a normal waitress working a dead end job just to get by. My life was going perfectly crappy just like everyone else, and my dumb ass had to go and screw it up looking for love. When a mysterious dating app installs itself onto my phone I cave and take the bait. Little do I know the four blind dates I'm matched with are actually the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and my life is turned upside down like the crosses they wear around their necks. I barely have enough time to process that angels and demons exist because every angel and their momma is descending from a corrupt heaven to kill me. Backed into a corner I'm left with two choices- try to plead my innocence to God and his army, or become the anti-christ they all think I am and build my own. Are good and evil really as black and white as they're tying to make them out to be?

The Sunbearer Trials
Author: Aiden Thomas
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
ISBN: 1250822149
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Welcome to The Sunbearer Trials, where teen semidioses compete in a series of challenges with the highest of stakes, in this electric new Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas, the New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys. “Only the most powerful and honorable semidioses get chosen. I’m just a Jade. I’m not a real hero.” As each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the chaotic Obsidian gods at bay. Sol selects ten of the most worthy semidioses to compete in the Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all—they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body melted down to refuel the Sun Stones, protecting the world for another ten years. Teo, a seventeen-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of the goddess of birds, isn't worried about the Trials . . . at least, not for himself. His best friend, Niya is a Gold semidiós and a shoo-in for the Trials, and while he trusts her abilities, the odds of becoming the sacrifice is one-in-ten. But then, for the first time in over a century, the impossible happens. Sol chooses not one, but two Jade competitors. Teo, and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. Now they must compete in five trials against Gold opponents who are more powerful and better trained. Worst of all, Teo’s annoyingly handsome ex-best friend and famous semidiós Hero, Aurelio is favored to win. Teo is determined to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed—for fame, glory, and their own survival.

The Global Vampire
Author: Cait Coker
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476675945
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The media vampire has roots throughout the world, far beyond the shores of the usual Dracula-inspired Anglo-American archetypes. Depending on text and context, the vampire is a figure of anxiety and comfort, humor and fear, desire and revulsion. These dichotomies gesture the enduring prevalence of the vampire in mass culture; it can no longer articulate a single feeling or response, bound by time and geography, but is many things to many people. With a global perspective, this collection of essays offers something new and different: a much needed counter-narrative of the vampire's evolution in popular culture. Divided by geography, this text emphasizes the vampiric as a globetrotting citizen du monde rather than an isolated monster.

The island killed my friends, but I survived. Now they're forcing me to go back. A month ago, Adaline and Alexander Habermann ripped me from my home and the people I care about, but that seems a lifetime ago. The twisted twins run a sinister experimental facility disguised as a rehabilitation island. They brought me here along with other Supernaturals who became my friends and fought with me for survival, but now they're gone, and I'm still here, a prisoner. But there is a new twist. The twins say I can earn my freedom, but only if I help them. They want me back on the island to guide their fresh recruits-a terrible combination of vulnerable, young wizards, and blood-thirsty vamps. What happened last time still haunts me, and I can't trust the twins' promises. But what choice do I have? I must comply or stay a prisoner. Or worse, become a victim of one of their cruel experiments. To make matters worse, I have to work with Vaughn-the same werewolf I thought I had feelings for until he savagely betrayed me. We must figure out a way to keep these kids alive while the island does its best to kill us all. But Vaughn is dangerous, a vicious werewolf who only cares about himself. What will kill me first? The evil twins? Their island? Or Vaughn? If you loved Seeking the Fae, The Faerie Games, or Dark King, you'll want to check out this Fae Adventure Romance. It is a companion series to Supernatural Academy but can be read alone.
