That’s the thing about revenge: It’s all-consuming.
My only regret is that Louie was shot.

I’m afraid I’ll never find out.

We aren't Butchers in name only, and surely the Rossi family can’t be as bad as the devil that’s been destroying me since I was eight years old.

New York City, the powerful head of the Cosa Nostra, is my new home. Where Lucian, Raphael, and Gabriel Rossi now think they own me.

The thing they don't realize is that I'm more than what I seem.

There was a deal made to keep the peace. War wasn’t good for business. But deals were broken all the time. What did these powerful families have as collateral? Their daughters. A decade earlier, they decided that we were expendable, that we could be sold in marriage to keep their dealings honest. I didn’t matter more than the security I could bring to the marketplace. I was twelve when they decided that, in ten years, I’d belong to the Hernandez family. Everyone knew what was coming for me. Everyone…except me.

I have no choices. The daughter of mobsters, I now belong to the Mexican Cartel. But even the terrible images those words evoke are nothing compared to what is coming for me. My new family will discover I am more than just a pawn in their chess game. I'm named after a flower, but I don't wilt. I am determined to come out ahead in their Mafia Wars.

]]> Binding Rose (Mafia Wars, #1) 59595385 I was sold to my enemies.

You would think that being forced into a loveless marriage to ensure an alliance would be unheard of in this day and age. And in most cases, you would be correct in that assumption.

But not for me.

A cartel princess has no vote on who she can or cannot marry—much less love.
Any decision in my life was forfeited just by being born into the most powerful Mexican cartel there is.

Still, it does sting that I’m to be hand-delivered to the Irish mob and marry into the Kelly family, who my own brother has coined to be nothing more than bloodthirsty savages.

They’re animals, Rosa. Filthy, unscrupulous, vicious animals.

Those were his exact words, yet he still followed our father’s orders to walk me down the aisle, making sure I didn’t run from my obligation.

As if that was even an option.

All my choices were stolen away from me the minute I became another pawn to be used and abused at the hands of evil men.

Which leaves me to question�

Can a rose blossom in the dark?
Or will I have to rely on my thorns to protect me against the fate that’s been bestowed upon me?

Only time will tell if I’ll survive this cursed life or become another lost soul in these cruel and merciless Mafia Wars.

I've discovered the family I was stolen from in the most unexpected place possible.

It's hard to believe I belong with them. A lifelong assassin mixing with people who campaign against criminals? There's no way in hell they'd accept the real me, let alone the brutal men who've welcomed me into their lives and their beds.

There has to be some way to make this work. I can't help craving a real home after so long without one.

And now that my enemies are targeting my birth family as well, they might need all the skills I can bring to bear.

But the farther I venture down this path, the harder it's becoming to tell who's really villain or victim here. When even more horrifying secrets come to light, will I choose the right side?

*Killer Heart is the third book in a new gritty contemporary romance series from bestselling author Eva Chase (writing as Eva Chance) and Harlow King. No major triggers, just hot murderously-inclined men, a deadly heroine out for revenge, and an enemies-to-lovers romance where the girl gets all the guys.

My three soul-ties try to be understanding of my need for freedom and independence outside of the coven, but after so many years living in the darkness, it’s hard for them to understand the struggles I go through as a creature who thrives out in the sunlight. The only saving grace is my best friend, Britt. She helps make sense of all the confusion in my life, and encourages me to strengthen my developing relationships.

But, not all is as it seems. Almost every time I leave the coven, I end up getting attacked. Are these random incidents, or is there an unknown threat out there targeting me for some reason?
As each attack becomes more vicious than the last, tensions begin to rise between me and my guys. I’m left to wonder, is this really home if no one trusts me to take care of myself and live my life? Or have I just moved into a glorified prison to be coddled for the rest of my life? Only time will tell�

Book Two of The Blood Series continues where Book One left off. It does end on a pretty shocking cliffhanger so if that's not your thing, I would suggest waiting a few months for Book Three to be finished.

And I’ve turned into their number one plaything.

When I transferred to East Point Prep, I had one mission in mind: find the people responsible for murdering Magnolia. Someone within these entitled walls killed my only friend and threw her overboard like she was human trash.

Now, they’ll pay.

My best friend told me everything through weekly emails, leaving coded clues in her simple messages. I know every incident, and I have the names of her bullies—her murderers.

Seger, Chase, Zeppelin, Carter, and Ainsley.

Somehow everything gets twisted and turned around. Every piece of evidence turns to ash. Magnolia lied to me, and I have to unravel her words one piece at a time to understand the truth hidden within her code.

My pawns become my kings. The ones I once called my suspects turn into allies. They help me search for the invisible culprit slithering through the shadows.

...but the games have only just begun.

Forced to participate in seven tasks, each designated by one of the seven kings, my life has just become exponentially more complicated.

First task? Travel to the Mermaid King with my mate and his sadistic brothers and kill a nameless, faceless, non-existent man. Easy.

But the kings aren't the only ones playing games. Someone wants me dead. Someone who is willing to resurrect dead supernatural creatures in order to achieve their goal.

Oh and Bash is still being an ass. What's new?

One thing becomes clear: I have to decide if I'm going to accept the mate bonds or forsake my destiny.

All I wanted was to be a good little assassin and kill some Nightmares. Why does my life have to suck so hard?

Savages rising, watch how they fall.
All of the heartache and all of the pain.
Couldn't put me back together again.

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a decaying body.
Being trapped in a cell with it under the hot, desert sun � now, that’s just sick

One minute, I thought I had everything I needed in this dark world, and the next, I was a prisoner to Giovanni’s wicked plan. I don’t know how, but I will get myself out of here, even if it’s the last thing I do.

Giovanni will not win this, and I won’t stop until my fingers are curled around his throat and my knife is sinking into his flesh. He’s taken everything from me. My freedom, my home � my blood, but he will never have my will to survive.

Roman, Levi, and Marcus are out there somewhere. They’re looking for me and won’t stop until they have spilled as much blood as it takes to get me back in their strong arms. I have to believe that, because if I don’t, I will rot down here. I will lose myself, and I like this new life too much to give up on it now.

This wicked game of life and death just took a turn for the worst and in this war, loyalties will be tested, but just as in war—not everybody will make it out alive.

Eenie, meenie, miny, moe.
Which DeAngelis has got to go?

]]> <![CDATA[Heathens (Depraved Sinners, #2)]]> 59411410 Heathens coming, brand new scar.
Slaughter turns to pained goodbye.
Never knowing if I’ll die.


A DeAngelis family war is brewing and these heathens are the vicious ringleaders, pulling the strings of their pawns for the greatest show of all—a show that will guarantee sweet, sweet victory.

Only victory comes with a price.

The question is, what are they willing to lose to get the one thing they’ve always wanted?

They kidnapped me. Haunted me. Allowed me to believe that I could trust them, and I foolishly did. I’m in deeper than I could have known, and now there’s no going back.

When blood spilled, I ran at the first chance I got. That was my biggest mistake.

Do. Not. Run.

It’s been drilled into my head since the moment they took me.

A searing bullet through the chest is enough to seal my fate, and no matter how much I scream, they refuse to believe my innocence. They’re out for blood and they won’t stop until they’ve watched the life fade from my eyes.

These heathens are nothing but the callous, cruel monsters the world has always known them to be and they hold every last card between their devious fingers. Their own flesh and blood fear them. They’ve locked them away for the greater good, but they won’t be kept down, not anymore.

This war just took a turn for the worst and navigating my way to freedom might just cost me my life.

Catch three psychos by the toe.
If I squeal, they won’t let me go.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.


Roman. Levi. Marcus.

Psychos—that's what they are.

The DeAngelis Brothers.

Men tremble at the sound of their names while women run, their lives flashing before their eyes. They’re the monsters under your bed, the boogeymen in your closet. Every living soul fears them. They’re relentless and they’re coming to play.

They’re the sons of the most notorious mafia boss, the leader of the DeAngelis Family, and they’ve just set their twisted sights on me.

They stalked me through my apartment, haunted my hallways, and crippled me with fear. They led me straight into their trap and captured me as though they had every right.

Little did I know, these three psychos already owned me.

I was gifted to them like a caged animal and that’s exactly how they intend to have me.

I’m their prisoner. Their play toy. Their most exciting game.

And unfortunately for me, death is my only way out.

But as much as I’d love to curl up under a blanket and wait for death, I can’t give up now. Not on our home. Not on my monsters.

Not just by our allies, but by the dark goddess who sent me on this doomed mission in the first place.

Now, my monsters and I are prisoners of the dark fae warlord, pawns in his endless war games.

But nothing in Midnight is ever what it seems.

Not the warlord. Not our enemies. And not the vile magick humming beneath the surface, calling to me in ways I’m ashamed to admit to anyone...

Anyone but him.

For all his cruelty, my enemy might be the only man who truly understands the darkness inside me.

Because deep down, he craves it as badly as I do.

And that—more than the deadly creatures of the realm, more than the thought of losing the monsters I’m already falling in love with—terrifies me.

Because the longer I remain a prisoner of Midnight, the more I’m starting to feel like it isn’t a prison at all� but a home.

One that might actually be worth fighting for.

After four years, I’d finally found a place that felt like home: Olympus, the estate that houses The Pantheon and the three men who have stolen my heart.

Now, I’m alone and on the run again. This time I’m not only hiding from the monster who was my tormentor and torturer for two years, I’m also fleeing from the Ares, Vulcan and Hades, desperate to keep them safe.

My plan is simple: stay hidden until Matello Magri is taken care of.

But Ares Sarkellis has a plan too. One that involves capturing me, a ring and some serious forever type vows. A marriage of convenience meant to keep me safe, to offer me the protection of The Pantheon.

With Matello Magri creeping closer, a shadow that will forever follow me, I can’t risk them.

My mom and I, we have a secret. For the last two years, we’ve been on the run from someone far worse than Ares, Hades and Vulcan. We’re tired of running. What better place to hide than behind the walls of Olympus? The home of The Pantheon, the mafia that controls East Haven?

When we arrive three dangerous men take an unlikely interest in me, despite my efforts to keep them at a distance.

Vulcan: The sweet, flirty tech wizard
Hades: The assassin with eyes so blue it hurts
Ares: The heir to it all with an attitude to match

The men of The Pantheon think they are the baddest of the bad, that living with them is a danger to my body, my soul and my virtue. I’m here for one reason and one reason only: Security. Their ten foot walls and cameras. Their guards and guns.

But they want to give me more.

I'm no stranger to fending for myself, but when I make an epic mistake, my dad is left with no choice but to punish me.

You’d think he’d torture my soul or send me to hell but no, he sends me to Celestial Academy, where college-aged angels learn to be guardians. The only problem is I don't have wings, and I'm certainly not an angel.

Attending a school full of angels is no walk in the park when your dad is the devil... until I meet three men who make me feel like anything is possible.

But just when I think things have changed for the better, there's a threat that might take everything I've grown to love away. Angels are being kidnapped and drained of their blood, and I might be their next target.

Lastly, there’s Bohnes. Oh, Bohnes � He’s the shadow of Prescott High. If you have enough cash, he’ll do anything. Literally anything—even bury a body. Also, he gave me severed fingers as a present. That must account for something, right?

Then there’s me.

I’m a boss-a** b*tch: I race cars and I always win.
Rule is: if I can ride it, I can win it. What I can’t do is protect you.

So, here’s my final warning: run, don’t walk.
Better yet: ride. Ride hard, ride fast, and don’t look back.

If you see my boys in the rearview, it’s already too late.

I pledged my loyalty to the monsters that run Lapland, but the three men I’m bound to hide dark desires behind their smoldering stares.

Zander demands control, West craves destruction, and Rocky seeks retribution. They all want one more thing, too. Me.

Devilish temptations, old wounds and bitter rivalries aren’t the only threats we have to face. We all have secrets. Secrets that could tear us apart.

No one can run from their past forever�

I may have hung up my knives, but Lapland is not the fresh start I’d dreamt of. Darkness lurks under the neon lights in the form of the three panty-melting assholes that run the club.

Zander, West and Rocky are exactly the types of dangerous men I’d sworn to avoid.

They want me to play by their rules, but I’m nobody’s puppet. Sexy smirks and inked muscles won’t stop me from getting what I really want. Revenge.

Everyone better watch out because my name is the only sweet thing about me�

]]> <![CDATA[Sick Love (The Desecration of Innocence #3)]]> 59524245
My trust is broken. I should be angry, I know. Locked away in this house, with these men all wanting to use me in their own way; I should fight them, deny them.

But I can't, because I want them just as much as they want me.

Markus Scott has destroyed me, annihilated me completely. The girl I used to be is gone, deader than dead. I'm at home in the darkness with him by my side. If this love is sick and wrong, I don't want to be right.

Let them take me. Let them claim me. Let them consume everything I am and spit out my bones.

My innocence is gone, but these men and their obsession with me is only just beginning.


**The Desecration of Innocence series will contain triggers. By now I hope you know the drill. This is the third book in a RH/Why Choose series, meaning our girl will not have to choose in the end. The men here don't play nice; they're not heroes. If you need that, don't pick this up.**]]> 503 Candace Wondrak Ash 0 currently-reading 4.18 Sick Love (The Desecration of Innocence #3)

]]> You're Doing Just Fine 25560582 The third book by young author and songwriter Charlotte Eriksson.

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more.
You’re doing just fine.

Named after the poem that has been shared over 400,000 times on Tumblr, this is the third book from young author and songwriter Charlotte Eriksson. A collection of prose and poetry with the theme of hope, recovery and finding beauty in the darkness. An exploration of the life of a young artist with an aching heart, urged by a wanderlust that leads and directs, and the simple task of learning how to live with yourself.

]]> <![CDATA[Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things]]> 23848559
In Furiously Happy, a humor memoir tinged with just enough tragedy and pathos to make it worthwhile, Jenny Lawson examines her own experience with severe depression and a host of other conditions, and explains how it has led her to live life to the fullest:

"I've often thought that people with severe depression have developed such a well for experiencing extreme emotion that they might be able to experience extreme joy in a way that ‘normal people' also might never understand. And that's what Furiously Happy is all about."

Jenny’s readings are standing room only, with fans lining up to have Jenny sign their bottles of Xanax or Prozac as often as they are to have her sign their books. Furiously Happy appeals to Jenny's core fan base but also transcends it. There are so many people out there struggling with depression and mental illness, either themselves or someone in their family—and in Furiously Happy they will find a member of their tribe offering up an uplifting message (via a taxidermied roadkill raccoon). Let's Pretend This Never Happened ostensibly was about embracing your own weirdness, but deep down it was about family. Furiously Happy is about depression and mental illness, but deep down it's about joy—and who doesn't want a bit more of that?]]> 329 Jenny Lawson 1250077001 Ash 0 to-read 3.88 2015 Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things

At twenty-four, I'd resigned myself to a simple life following in my mother's footsteps. I would manage the antique shop she left me and marry a kind, stable man. Most importantly, I would never tell a soul about my psychic abilities.

But with a single, intentional touch and a vision of the past, I set events in motion that expose my secret. I’m part of a world I never knew existed, and my new allies are dismantling my carefully constructed walls.

Except, those walls had a purpose--they kept me hidden.

Now, my abilities make me a target.

And my mere existence is endangering everyone I care about.

Each book is full length. Here Lives a Corpse is 92,000 words.

Here Lives a Corpse is book one of a five-part series. You do have to read all to understand. Each one ends on a cliffhanger.

Life doesn’t promise anything but existence.
Losing Cass proved that.
Everyone thinks I’m crazy.
Corpse.
Freak.
Vampire.
They called me the one who never overcame the loss of her brother, the outcast, the least likely to succeed.
But what about their lies?
He jumped. He wanted to die. He killed himself.
When will they stop?
Unraveling the secrets they founded this town with seems impossible.
Detangling the bloodlines that weave the very essence of Arcadia Crest might actually kill me.
Forgetting the little details I’ve erased from my memories as a result of love could be the catalyst of my entire story.
Death brought me hatred.
Hatred drove me to them.
They touched me only in secret.

]]> <![CDATA[Gangs And Ghosts (Beyond The Shadows, #1)]]> 42420133
When asked how I survived all of those years by myself, I had one answer: the Shadow Man.

I have no memory of that time. No memory of anything, really, before the accident. I rely on stories from my fathers about this supposed imaginary friend.

Got into a fight at school? The Shadow Man made me. Stole from a store? He forced me to. Snuck out of the house? He came with me.

I had almost completely forgotten about him.

Until I move into the horror house - the house rumored to be a gateway to hell. Strange things keep happening, and I am helpless to prevent them.

More importantly, people keep dying.

Particularly, people that harm me.

It’s already a struggle to survive a new high school and town (including the attention of a dangerous gang), but now I have to survive ghosts too?

One thing becomes painstakingly clear:

The Shadow Man wants me to come home.


This is a young adult, slow-burn, horror reverse harem romance. It is the first in a series and WILL end in a cliff-hanger!

]]> <![CDATA[Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed]]> 37570546 From a psychotherapist, and national advice columnist comes a thought-provoking new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world -- where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she).

One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.

As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives -- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys -- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.

With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.]]> 415 Lori Gottlieb 1328662055 Ash 0 to-read 4.36 2019 Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed

]]> <![CDATA[Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person]]> 44326461 A vibrant, compelling memoir that bravely reveals the real-life havoc the depression wreaks and an urgent search for solutions

In her early twenties, while outwardly thriving in her dream job and enjoying warm familial support and a strong social network, award-winning journalist Anna Mehler Paperny found herself trapped by feelings of failure and despair. Her first suicide attempt—ingesting a deadly mix of sleeping pills and antifreeze—landed her in the ICU, followed by weeks of enforced detention. This was Paperny's entry into the labyrinthine psychiatric-care system that provides care to millions of Canadians.

As she struggled to survive the psych ward and as an outpatient, Paperny could not help but turn her demanding journalist's eye on her condition and on the system. She set off on a quest to "know her enemy," interviewing leading practitioners in the field across Canada and the U.S.—from psychiatrists to neurological experts, brain-mapping pioneers to family practitioners, and others dabbling in novel hypotheses. Her memoir opens a window into how we treat (and fail to treat) the disease that accounts for more years swallowed up by disability than any other in the world. She reveals in frank detail her own experiences with the pharmacological pitfalls and side effects of long-term treatment and offers moving case studies of conversations with others.]]> 352 Anna Mehler Paperny 0735272824 Ash 0 to-read 3.94 2019 Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person
