SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. It’s hard for Jessi Alvarez to mourn the death of her sworn enemy, Adley Morgenstern, who recently died after taking her own life. After all, Jessi was the one who threatened Adley to leave Ember Falls - and she knows that if everyone else knew the truth about the chaos Adley caused, they would have wanted her dead too. Ethan Landers, on the other hand, is struggling to understand why something bad keeps happening to everyone around him. First, his sister, Annabeth, was murdered, and now, his girlfriend had supposedly committed suicide on the night they were going to run away. Was there something more going on? What nobody knows is that there are two witches in town with a plan for vengeance, though to perform their spell, they'll need an angel, a full demon, and a witch without knowledge of their powers... The past can't stay dead forever, and sometimes, knowledge is dangerous when secrets are more tightly intertwined than one might think.




Lessons in Deception


Book Description

60% of people can't go can't go 10 minutes without lying. In 'How to tell a Lie', Ramie Tawers shows how society depends on people lying to each other. He then explains deception as a science, and provides several exercises throughout the book that will help the reader become more adept at deception.

Through several case studies on US Presidents, Businessmen, Politicians and Criminals, Tawers illustrates the principles of deception at work in the real world. From how President Trump insures himself against the consequences of his lies to how a billion dollar company operated by selling a nonexistent product, the case studies in 'How to tell a lie' are truly eyeopening. Ramie provides his own experiences with compulsive as well as professional liars and discusses deception at a depth that has never been seen before. By reading this book you will learn to control your body language to fool investigators, manipulate context to deceive people without having to tell a single lie, learn to probe people for their weaknesses, plant false evidence, cover up events, successfully use false premises in arguments, employ deception on the internet and on other social platforms, and how to deal with the consequences of deception as well as other legal matters.
