Million Dollar Demon

Author: Kim Harrison

Number of pages: 465

To save the city, Rachel Morgan will need to show some teeth in the next Hollows novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison. The new master vampire of Cincinnati has arrived . . . and she wants Rachel Morgan out. No matter where Rachel goes, Constance is there--threatening Rachel's allies, causing city-wide chaos, and, to add insult to injury, even forcing Rachel out of her current quarters. Ever since Rachel found a way to save the souls of vampires, the old undead's longtime ascendancy has been broken. Now Constance sees eliminating Rachel as the key to consolidating her own power. Rachel has no desire to be enthralled or killed--and she's terrified of what may become of the city if Constance forces a return to the ancient ways. But even a witch-born demon can't stand against the old undead--at least, not alone. And if Rachel refuses to claim the role of Cincinnati's master demon, the city will tear itself apart, taking her and all those who stand beside her with it.

Le Démon de la politique togolaise

Author: Dé Kundé Flagbo

Number of pages: 183

[...] Le démon de la politique, c'est tout simplement le génie du mal qui anime les acteurs politiques c'est-à-dire l'esprit malfaisant qui les met sous son contrôle et qui leur assigne la mission de détruire ou de s'autodétruire. Lorsqu'il s'empare des gouvernants, le démon de la politique demeure insensible et destructeur du bonheur des peuples parce qu'il refuse l'alternance c'est-à-dire le bon sens – la chose la mieux partagée. Or le sens du partage contribue au bien-être collectif et renforce la démocratie, autrement dit, la bonne redistribution des richesses du pays qui assure la justice sociale. [...] Le démon de la politique est un obstacle à la démocratie et au développement surtout pour nos pays africains, pays en développement, si fragiles, souvent influencés par des pesanteurs historiques et ethniques, pays sans défense, dangereusement et en permanence exposés à la convoitise et à la gourmandise de la puissance subversive de l'intelligentsia impérialiste des pays développés. En tout cas, à l'heure actuelle, le commun des mortels, le bas peuple togolais, ne peut percevoir dans la politique togolaise que l'image d'un démon qui a pris la place...

As time has passed, Dr. Renee Caisson has begun to see the demonic, alien August as more than a research subject or an unlikely colleague—they’ve become friends. And together she and August have helped the two societies of Nextdoor and Earth through the confusion of first contact, the danger of misunderstandings, and the anger of mistreatment. But when a popular blogger and conspiracy theorist twists August’s words, an uproar ensues, turning a powerful section of human society against the Neighbors—and resulting in Renee’s house arrest. Her could-be boyfriend, Major Jackson, says it’s to protect her, though that’s not how Renee sees it.

After a solar eclipse opens a way between our world and a paranormal realm, and the dark side of first contact emerges, one woman’s loyalties will be tested in this gripping serialized adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Hollows series. Dr. Renee Caisson never expected that her scientific expertise would lead to a role playing interpreter between humans and the demonic-looking Neighbors. When the door between their worlds opened, she was drafted by the government to study the otherworldly beings and was able to prove her theory: the Neighbors had been to Earth before—and now they simply wanted to save their dying planet. At least, that’s the story, and everyone—both human and Neighbor—is sticking to it. The Neighbor in charge of the new portal’s operation, Noel, isn’t that sure anymore. Having succeeded in finding a new planet to inhabit, the leaders of her world have made the dark truth of their existence clear to her: the Neighbors forcibly tried to make a foothold on Earth in the past—and they can’t afford to fail again. But the Neighbors’ ability to magically teleport from place to place has convinced Major Jackson that the only...

Author: Deborah Wilde

Number of pages: 334

Featuring a snarky heroine, kickass action, and spicy romance, this hilarious urban fantasy sucker-punches you in the heart when you're not looking. Nava Katz has a lot on her plate: Brotherhood: unmask. Demons: slaughter. Guy problems: terminate with extreme prejudice. Nava is hot on the heels of a demonic serial killer and finally working with her brother. The assignment should be a dream come true, not a nightmarish power struggle made worse by her twin's refusal to believe there's corruption within the Brotherhood. She's determined to find proof of their dirty dealings, even as she risks irrefutably breaking her sibling bond. And speaking of clocking annoying males upside the head... Nava is also totally over smoking hot rock star and fellow hunter Rohan Mitra. There is a veritable buffet of boy options out there, and this girl is now all-you-can-eat. So when her demon hunt brings her first love, Cole, back into her life, her revenge fantasies for closure—on all fronts—are a go.

D is for Demons: For Julia

Author: Joni Pitt

Number of pages: 244

Fretful that her lifelong struggle with anxiety, depression and misplaced approval seeking may be hereditary, first-time author Joni Pitt is determined to save her young daughter from a similar fate. Outlining her real-life passage to the suburban Seventh Circle of Hell through a minefield of eating disorders, twisted corporate star-making machines, postpartum depression and crushing humiliation on the corporate Mommy Track, Pitt captures an Origin of the Demon Species across five years of alternately amusing and heartbreaking journals. Ultimately, time and counseling provide the perspective to strike an armed truce with the demons of anxiety and depression, to deconstruct their antics and to pass on the wisdom of experience to her daughter. In D is for Demons, Pitt (“Mommy”) animates her otherworldly tormenters with a whimsical writing style that colors her journey downward and back to near-redemption. Knowing that demons are managed, never vanquished, she guides daughter Julia in all aspects of spy-worthy demon counterinsurgency. Her message is delivered in short chapters that range from cheeky advice for fostering destructive habits, to finding an honest existence, to the...

Today, countless Christians throughout the world are plagued by unexplained poverty, calamities, and a variety of adverse circumstances. Their lives are tragically filled with heartache and desperation as they continuously struggle against overpowering temptation, physical and mental illness, and a myriad of catastrophic events.

Satan Exposed

Author: William P. Payne

Number of pages: 223

Spiritual warfare is not a church fad. Rather, it is the rediscovery of biblical Christianity. Furthermore, one will not grasp what the Bible teaches until one comprehends what it affirms about spiritual warfare. In truth, spiritual warfare permeates the entire Bible. When one learns to read the Scriptures through the lens of spiritual warfare, one will discern the mission of God, understand the kingdom of God, and be able to participate in the work of God. As a professional theologian, seminary professor, and spiritual warfare practitioner, Bill Payne believes that the church will not make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20) until it operationalizes what the Bible teaches about spiritual warfare. As it orients the reader to the spiritual warfare mandate, Satan Exposed tackles the difficult passages of Scripture. In short, this book will change how you read the Bible, how you understand reality, and how you do ministry.

Jeremiah was once the most feared name in the world for anyone who had heard of him. He was the ruthless general of the demonic hordes on Earth. Now, he works for the other side. Trying to reform, the demon is now working with the prophets of the world to train some of their best and brightest youth. Raul Habsburg is one of the most powerful members of a secretive organization called The Society of Minds. For time immemorial, the Society has striven to stay hidden, while promoting the intellectual growth of humanity. Like the world’s prophets, they have supernatural powers that set them apart from the rest of mankind, as well as help them overcome their enemies: evil and ignorance. Unlike the prophets, the Society doesn’t have a devotion to a deity, but their enemies are, nevertheless, the same. Though they have never met, Jeremiah and Raul have a common foe. A new enemy, going by the name of Adversary, is forming a demonic army of his own to fill the void of power in the ranks of the fallen.

Satan and His Kingdom

Author: Dennis Mccallum

Number of pages: 286

This highly readable--and useful--examination of Satan and spiritual warfare was written out of necessity. In recent years, pastor and teacher Dennis McCallum found himself fielding more and more questions about Satan. He wanted to recommend a book on the subject, but those he found either reflected extreme beliefs, contained little biblical instruction, used fear tactics, or were poorly written. In Satan and His Kingdom, McCallum clarifies what is true and what is false about Satan, demons, and demonic control--both historically and today. He shows readers how to effectively battle the enemy individually and corporately, all the while keeping their focus on Christ, not Satan. A reliable resource for pastors, lay leaders, and any Christian wanting to know more about evil in the world.

Renee is shocked to learn her subjects are demonic-looking beings who call themselves “Neighbors”—refugees from a dying world, who arrived during the nation-wide solar eclipse. The Neighbors’ technology is unlike anything Renee’s ever encountered. At first, she dismisses an injury that inexplicably heals as “just one of those things”.

Petra Grady has known since adolescence that she has no talent for magic—and that’s never going to change.

Scenic rural communities across the nation and around the world have been transformed as they have shifted away from extractive industries such as agriculture, mining, and forestry and toward recreation-based development relying on tourism, vacation homes, and retirees. These communities have built new economies and identities based on local natural resources and are highly dependent on the natural environment. With these changes have come new questions: Do retirees and seasonal residents fit into their new surroundings? Do longtime and new residents share the same values and visions for the future? Do diverse community members disagree about how to manage their forest and water resources? Condos in the Woods explores how these issues are reshaping community structure, employment, and inhabitants' attitudes toward their environment in the Northwoods. Looking at trends from the 1970s to the present, this work moves from the national scale to the Pine Barrens region in northwestern Wisconsin and examines the approaches of residents to the management of their natural resources.

American Psycho

À vingt-six ans, Patrick Bateman est un golden boy de Wall Street ; le parfait yuppie des années 80. Il est aussi un serial killer... "Patrick Bateman est, hélas, un des personnages de roman les plus intéressants qu'on ait créés au cours des dix dernières années." Michel Braudeau, Le Monde. "Le premier roman depuis des années à faire résonner des thèmes aussi profonds, dostoïevskiens... [Bret Easton Ellis] nous oblige à regarder en face l'intolérable, ce que peu de romanciers ont le courage de faire." Norman Mailer. "On entend rarement dire, dans la fureur des commentaires, que ce roman est une satire, une satire hilarante, écœurante, pince-sans-rire, consternante... Ellis est avant tout un moraliste. Dans ses romans, chaque mot prononcé d'une voix laconique naît d'une indignation intense, douloureuse, éprouvée au regard de notre condition spirituelle..." The Los Angles Times.

Mad in Translation

Even readers with no particular interest in Japan - if such odd souls exist - may expect unexpected pleasure from this book if English metaphysical poetry, grooks, hyperlogical nonsense verse, outrageous epigrams, the (im)possibilities and process of translation between exotic tongues, the reason of puns and rhyme, outlandish metaphor, extreme hyperbole and whatnot tickle their fancy. Read together with The Woman Without a Hole, also by Robin D. Gill, the hitherto overlooked ulterior side of art poetry in Japan may now be thoroughly explored by monolinguals, though bilinguals and students of Japanese will be happy to know all the original Japanese is included.--amazon.com.
