Book Description

Cass thought this imprisoned life would be her fate, but then four sexy, formidable warriors--a vampire lord, twin fae princes, and a demigod--find her.They claim she's not a monster, but a powerful weapon, one who can kill the Olympian gods, who have returned to Earth with a vengeance. But Cass has a mind of her own and can't be told what to do, no matter how drawn she is to her four warrior saviors. To their dismay, the four warriors can't tame the wild, cunning, and volatile Cass. But they have a bigger problem--their growing attraction toward her.To turn the woman they desire into the ultimate weapon and ensure Earth's survival, they'll have to conquer her body and heart, which seems even more impossible than winning the war against the atrocious gods.

And nothing turns Cass on more than being stalked.Warning: This is a full-length reverse harem fantasy/paranormal romance that features one hell of strong woman and her four powerful supernatural mates. It contains brutal battles, explicit love scenes, raw language, magic, swordfights, Greek gods, dark fae, vampires, shifters, and a lot of assholes.

Book Description
In the desert, you see, there is everything and nothing . . . It is God without men. —Honoré de Balzac, Une passion dans le désert, 1830 Jaz and Lisa Matharu are plunged into a surreal public hell after their son, Raj, vanishes during a family vacation in the California desert. However, the Mojave is a place of strange power, and before Raj reappears inexplicably unharmed—but not unchanged—the fate of this young family will intersect with that of many others, echoing the stories of all those who have traveled before them. Driven by the energy and cunning of Coyote, the mythic, shape-shifting trickster, Gods Without Men is full of big ideas, but centered on flesh-and-blood characters who converge at an odd, remote town in the shadow of a rock formation called the Pinnacles. Viscerally gripping and intellectually engaging, it is, above all, a heartfelt exploration of the search for pattern and meaning in a chaotic universe. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

Book Description
Henry Kuttner was a prolific science fiction and horror author. His first story was published in 1936, and from there he wrote, under a set of pen names, a large number of short stories, novels, and comic strips, up until his early death in 1958. A lot of his work was penned in collaboration with his wife C. L. Moore, who co-wrote at least two of the stories in this collection. Kuttner was a friend of H. P. Lovecraft—he wrote a set of stories specifically set in the Cthulhu mythos—and while he was primarily a science fiction writer, there is a streak of Lovecraftian darkness running through the majority of his work. Even in his most optimistic tales, the characters often end up with more problems than they bargained for—or at least finish feeling no happier than before. The short stories in this collection are those currently known to have passed into the U.S. public domain, arranged in order of publication. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Book Description
The invincible Heaven Fighting Saint was betrayed by his celestial wife and brothers. He was reborn in his youth and swore to become the War God Emperor in this world. He would crush all strong enemies and peerless beauties and beat them up! A hot-blooded battle with no end in sight! In the vast and boundless Pangu Continent, large and small sects, ancient sacred lands, ancient aristocratic clans, and ten thousand different dynasties competed against each other; in the many secular dynasties, the imperial power was supreme, ruling over ten thousand miles. Was it to become an ant or an ordinary spirit, or to condense battle qi to become a warrior, to awaken the three types of battle spirits, to experience hundreds of battles to comprehend the four types of battle force, to become a peerless expert, to become a Holy Land of War, to shatter the void, and to compete with the Heavens! This was a world of warriors, cultivating battle qi, transforming the soul of war, condensing battle force, and rising above all worlds!
