Fun, funny, hot, and heartfelt...The apocalyptic beach read that
everyone needs. - Alix E. Harrow, Hugo Award-winning author A
paranormal romantic comedy at the (possible) end of the world. From
New York Times bestselling author Gwenda Bond, Not Your Average Hot
Guy is a hilarious romantic comedy about two people falling in
love, while the fate of the world rests on their shoulders. All
Callie wanted was a quiet weekend with her best friend. She
promised she could handle running her family's escape room business
while her mom is out of town. Instead a Satanic cult shows up,
claiming that the prop spell book in one of the rooms is the real
deal, and they need it to summon the right hand of the devil.
Naturally they take Callie and her friend, Mag, along with them.
But when the summoning reveals a handsome demon in a leather jacket
named Luke who offers to help Callie stop the cult from destroying
the world, her night goes from weird to completely strange. As the
group tries to stay one step ahead of the cult, Callie finds
herself drawn to the annoying (and annoyingly handsome) Luke. But
what Callie doesn't know is that Luke is none other than Luke
Morningstar, Prince of Hell and son of the Devil himself. Callie
never had time for love, and with the apocalypse coming closer, is
there room for romance when all hell's about to break loose?
Not every house is a home... Belinda Bainbridge has spent her life in the shadow of her anxious mother, so when her father-in-law dies at The Bridge, his remote ancestral seat, she is secretly thrilled. His death means she, her husband Wilfred and their children can relocate and finally begin to create their own happy home together: born a merchant's daughter, she will now be lady of the manor. But their new home quickly proves far from ideal. The garden is a wilderness, the estate is struggling financially, there are whispers about the mysterious death of a servant many years before while their young son, Freddy, seems unusually fixated on the strange wooden figures - so-called 'silent companions' - that were once owned by his ancestors. When Wilfred's charismatic brother, Nathan, arrives unexpectedly from abroad, bringing a very different account of the family's past, Belinda begins to question what her husband has told her. What really lies behind the sad history of the house? And are Belinda's children truly safe here? The outstanding new haunted house story from Sunday Times bestseller and multi-award winner, Laura Purcell, author of The Silent Companions, who has reignited readers' passion for classic gothic tales for a new audience.
Strange things exist on the periphery of our existence, haunting us
from the darkness looming beyond our firelight. Black magic, weird
cults and worse things loom in the shadows. The Children of Old
Leech have been with us from time immemorial. And they love us...
Donald Miller, geologist and academic, has walked along the edge of
a chasm for most of his nearly eighty years, leading a charmed life
between endearing absent-mindedness and sanity-shattering
realization. Now, all things must converge. Donald will discover
the dark secrets along the edges, unearthing savage truths about
his wife Michelle, their adult twins, and all he knows and trusts.
For Donald is about to stumble on the secret... ...of The Croning.
