She was everything that I wanted. He was everything that I despised. Until she wasn’t. Until he wasn’t. Killian Cornelii was a walking calamity. He reached inside of me and touched every single inch of my ruined soul, but he didn’t just touch it. He caressed, petted, and captivated it. He tailored me to fit into the palms of his hands. The same hands that possess so much cruelty were the very same that comforted me.

Priest Hayes thought he knew everything there was to know about the society of outlaws who ran by their own set of rules, and right now, he'd just taken the gavel. It didn't feel heavy. It felt like it belonged there all along. In his hand. Just like her. But Luna Nox was the one girl he could never have. He knew that the second he fell for her. Bound by a past they both shared, their souls were connected in a way that no one would ever understand. But love isn't always what conquers all. Sometimes, it's the only thing you'll surrender to.

שמונת הסיפורים שבקובץ מתרחשים בקיבוץ הדמיוני יקהת, ומשרטטים דיוקנאות מפליאים בעדינותם של נשים וגברים החולמים חלומות אינטימיים וחווים מכאובים פרטיים בצלו של אחד החלומות הקולקטיביים הגדולים בתולדות המאה העשרים. אב מבוגר שבתו הצעירה עוברת להתגורר עם חבר קיבוץ בן גילו; אישה הכותבת מכתב מצמרר לאישה שלמענה נטש אותה בעלה; ילד חוץ היוצא לבקר את אביו בבית חולים לתשושי נפש; וגנן מזדקן הנושא על כתפיו את כל אסונות העולם - כל אחד מן הסיפורים הפרטיים האלה הוא פנינה של אנושיות ספרותית ויחד הם נשזרים למחרוזת שהיא גם דיוקן של רעיון ושל תקופה.

My life has really taken a complicated turn here in Oakthorne. I keep hoping some fairy godmother will show up and offer to turn back time for me. Not too much, just enough to ease this pain. Yeah. Right. As much as there's hurt, there's also Death. He is a complication, and a beautiful one I can't resist when I really, really should. He consumes my every waking moment, submerges me in raging desire I never want to break free from.

אני לא מיסטיקן בהרבה דברים שאחרים נוטים להיות מיסטיקנים. אבל בעניין אחד אני דווקא קצת מיסטיקן: מילה לא תלך לאיבוד אם היא מילה ראויה. היא תשכב כמו זרע בחול הצחיח עשר שנים, חמישים שנה, ואז היא תנבוט," כותב עמוס עוז. מאז פרוץ האינתיפאדה השנייה יש בלבול ומבוכה, התלהמות והקצנה בצד ייאוש ורפיון, בשיח הציבורי הישראלי.

Als Madison herausfindet, dass sie all die Jahre belogen wurde und niemandem vertrauen kann, will sie nichts wie weg: weg vom Elite Kings Club und weg von Bishop. Sie flieht bis ans andere Ende der Welt, und hofft, dass niemand sie finden wird. Doch so sehr sie versucht, ihre Spuren zu verwischen, Bishop hat sie längst aufgespürt. Denn der Elite Kings Club gibt nichts wieder her, was einmal ihm gehört hat.

Things have really turned sour. I'd been looking for answers, but then along came the biggest plot twist of my life, with me as the star. Core-shaking stuff, details I would've been happy to never know. Sometimes, it's good to be left in the dark. Damn. My relationship with the mega-yummy billionaire vampire Tae Frost is now on the line. One moment, things were heating up between us, the next… WHAM! Rug pulled out from under. Hard. I only have myself to blame.

La riqueza consciente es el único tipo de riqueza que existe. No se trata solo de gozar de bienes materiales, sino de elevar nuestra energía y nuestra mente a un nivel superior. Es decir: la riqueza consciente supone la unión de la riqueza terrenal con la grandeza de nuestro ser. Y esto es algo al alcance de todo el mundo. Pero a menudo entendemos mal las normas en las que se basa nuestra felicidad. Para conseguir la tan ansiada plenitud, es necesario desvelar las reglas del juego, abrazarlas y conectar así con nuestra divinidad.

They begin their search for Grozner in Geneva, Switzerland using high tech tools and old-fashioned investigative work.

After finally finding some company and shelter—along with a hot werewolf alpha—in this zombie-filled world, things have taken another dramatic turn. Rug officially yanked from underfoot. Ugh. What now? How do I carry on with these new revelations? I can't possibly march toward heartbreak. I can't let everything I've found unravel because of some weird prophecy. There has to be a better way of changing the world. There has to be a better everything. I'm determined to find it. For the future. For love.

Strange things are happening in Tel Ilan, a century-old pioneer village. A disgruntled retired politician complains to his daughter that he hears the sound of digging at night. Could it be their tenant, that young Arab? But then the young Arab hears the digging sounds, too. Where has the mayor's wife gone, vanished without a trace, her note saying "don't worry about me"?

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who lived in a battered trailer, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. One day, she fell down The Elite Kings’ rabbit hole. Sucked into a dark vortex of lies, hate, and deceit, and spat out by money, glitz, and power. There were things this little girl didn’t know, things she was about to find out and secrets that have been kept from her. Those secrets were guarded by the boys that were about to smash her world open and tear it all apart....

Some girls don’t like pretty things. Some girls like things that are destructive and toxic. Things that fuel our bodies with adrenaline and bring our demons to their knees.

“I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong.” I was lied to. I was cheated. Resigned to pick up the scraps of empty memories and disarrayed thoughts, I left. After finally cutting the strings of manipulation, I resorted to do what I’ve done since I was a child, something my father drilled into my brain since I could handle my first rifle. Run. I’m a mere shadow of the girl they all knew. Lies and deceit change you. They alter your entire outlook on life. I’m Madison Montgomery, and I want to play a game. Here’s what happens when I win.

After one of our many enemies makes a life-shattering move against us, Tae and I are running for our lives again. The witches are hot on our heels, adding to our myriad of problems. And the drama keeps on piling up. If it wasn't for Tae Frost, billionaire vampire and my number one obsession, I couldn't handle any of this. I'd have fallen apart ages ago, handing myself over to the shadows. And there are so many shadows, so many players in this damn game. The lines are blurring, trust is a rare commodity nowadays.

I have to believe in hope. I have to believe in my love for Death, for a future beyond this pain and drama. But why does hope feel like such a foolish dream at this point?
