Born to be killed

Johnstone, William W.,


The epic saga of Smoke Jensen takes a wild and dangerous turn when the legendary mountain man joins a wagon train of war widows—on a doomed journey through hell . . . Big Rock, Colorado, has seen its share of wagon trains pass through town, but never one like this. For starters, it’s led by a woman—a sweet southern belle named Annabelle—and the passengers are young Civil War widows and orphans. The only man on board is Annabelle’s father, a former colonel blinded in the war. They’re on their way to Purgatory Butte, Wyoming, to run the ranch the colonel inherited. Smoke’s wife, Sally Jensen, thinks it’s a noble goal and wants to help the women out—by volunteering her husband’s protection on the treacherous journey north. In spite of his doubts, Smoke agrees. The trouble starts before they even leave town. First a pack of ruffians harass the women, then a pair of saloon girls decide to join the wagon train. To top things off, Sally insists on coming along,—giving Smoke one more thing to worry about. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But this road has plenty of bad ones, too. If Smoke Jensen can’t figure out which is which, this whole train will be dead on arrival. Johnstone Country. Where Legends Are Born . . . To Be Killed.

The beasts of winter

Cervantes, J. C. (Jennifer C.),


Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, Fetch the fox is on his own. Fetch is a weaver of magic, gifted with immense powersâ€”but there is no one left to teach him how to master them. And no one to share his life with since the cruel Winter Queen, Celeste, cursed Fetch into a fox and abducted his beloved younger sister, Violet. As Celeste awakens from her slumber to usher in Winter once more, she makes a stunning announcement: the Winter Palaceâ€”the very place where Violet is being held captive--will host a festival. With the palace's spelled protections down for just one evening, the opportunity to save his sister might finally be in Fetch's grasp. And so, with only Beckblade, a tiny yet fierce bone dragon, for company, he sets off on a treacherous rescue mission. But what Fetch doesn't realize is that a dark and mysterious secret lies buried within him, one that could unravel everything. Can Fetch discover what plagues him before it leads to his ruin, and he loses Violet and their magic forever?

You are what you watch : how movies and TV affect everything /

Hickey, Walt,


BookPage, Library Journal, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, "In You Are What You Watch, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and data expert Walt Hickey explains the power of entertainment to change our biology, our beliefs, how we see ourselves, and how nations gain power through entertainment. Virtually anyone who has ever watched a profound movie, a powerful TV show, or read a moving novel understands that entertainment can and does affect us in surprising and significant ways. But did you know that our most popular forms of entertainment can have a direct physical effect on us, a measurable impact on society, geopolitics, the economy, and even the future itself? In You Are What You Watch, Walter Hickey, Pulitzer Prize winner and former chief culture writer at acclaimed data site FiveThirtyEight.com, proves how exactly how what we watch (and read and listen to) has a far greater effect on us and the world at large than we imagine. Employing a mix of research, deep reporting, and 100 data visualizations, Hickey presents the true power of entertainment and culture. From the decrease in shark populations after Jaws to the increase in women and girls taking up archery following The Hunger Games, You Are What You Watch proves its points not just with research and argument, but hard data. Did you know, for example, that crime statistics prove that violent movies actually lead to less real-world violence? And that the international rise of anime and Manga helped lift the Japanese economy out of the doldrums in the 1980s? Or that British and American intelligence agencies actually got ideas from the James Bond movies? In You Are What You Watch, readers will be given a nerdy, and sobering, celebration of popular entertainment and its surprising power to change the world"--

She made herself a monster

Kovatcheva, Anna,


BookPage, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Library Journal, "We make monsters in order to destroy them. For thousands of years, we've named witches and burned them, suspected demons and exorcised them. When crops die and children fall ill, who better to blame than a monster? In nineteenth-century Bulgaria, Yana rides from one desolate town to the next, staging grisly displays while the villagers sleep: animal corpses in the public square, eggs filled with blood in the chicken coop. She tells the stricken villagers stories of vampires that stalk the night. Then Yana eliminates the threat, and leaves seeds of hope in her wake. The village of Koprivici, however, is plagued by exceptional illness and misfortune, its children rarely surviving infancy. There, Yana meets Anka: a headstrong orphan who the villagers blame for their curse. As Anka approaches womanhood, the village Captain is grooming her for marriage against her will. Anka is powerless against him-that is, until Yana arrives. Together, the orphan and the vampire slayer hatch a plan: to conjure a monster so vile, it might provide cover for Anka to escape. But their plan quickly takes on a horrifying life of its own... Inspired by Slavic folklore, SHE MADE HERSELF A MONSTER concocts a clever mix of witchery, ghost stories, heresy, and deception to spin a feminist fable about agency and the power of collective action. It is a haunting and astoundingly cathartic tale of two women who will stop at nothing to take control of their fate"-- Provided by publisher.

Antique

Panitch, Seth,


Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Library Journal Starred Reviews. "Grace Schaffer is adrift. Raised by an eminent but emotionally withdrawn scholar, her talent landed her a coveted spot on Antiques Roadshow, where she charmed legions of viewers. But she's recently fallen from her gilded perch, losing her career, her marriage and her very identity in the process, leaving her with the same question her clients so often ask of her: What is it worth? Or, the question that beats beneath it, What am I worth? In a last-ditch attempt to revive her career, she signs on to an amateur travelling show, where an old, tarnished necklace catches her eye. Imbued with a strange and sudden confidence, she begins predicting the precise amount that objects will sell for at auction-far beyond their market values. As she performs act after act of this seeming divination, Grace catches the attention of detractors and fans alike, all clamoring to see what she'll do next. Caught in the necklace's strange and possibly dangerous thrall, Grace is soon thrust into the hunt to uncover a lost masterpiece... before it disappears forever, taking her hopes and dreams with it. As Grace struggles to find her own worth outside the comfort of marriage, the limelight of career, of even the necklace's awesome power, she comes face to face with the hardest appraisal of all...herself. Antique takes readers on an exhilarating journey of art and love, one that will leave them believing in the magic that lies within us all-should we dare to use it"-- Provided by publisher.
