Book Description

"Highly recommend Adhara for all fans of paranormal and romantic suspense." —Smart Bitches, Trashy Books Werewolf meets human. Werewolf snubs human. Werewolf loves human? Julien Doran arrived in sleepy Maudit Falls, North Carolina, with a heart full of hurt and a head full of questions. The key to his brother's mysterious last days might be found in this tiny town, and now Julien's amateur investigation is starting to unearth things the locals would rather keep buried. Perhaps most especially the strange, magnetic manager of a deserted retreat that's nearly as odd as its staff. Eli Smith is a lot of things: thief, werewolf, glamour-puss, liar. And now the manager of a haven for rebel pack runaways. He’s spent years cultivating a persona to disguise his origins, but for the first time ever he’s been entrusted with a real responsibility—and he plans to take that seriously. Even if the handsome tourist who claims to be in town for some R & R is clearly on a hunt for all things paranormal. And hasn't taken his brooding gaze off Eli since he's arrived. When an old skeleton and a fresh corpse turn a grief errand into a murder investigation, the unlikely Eli is the only person Julien can turn to. Trust is hard to come by in a town known for its monsters, but so is time… Carina Adores is home to modern, romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Book Description

Defining lies as statements that are intended to deceive, this book considers the contexts in which people tell lies, how they are detected and sometimes exposed, and the consequences for the liars themselves, their dupes, and the wider society. The author provides examples from a number of cultures with distinctive religious and ethical traditions, and delineates domains where lying is the norm, domains that are ambiguous and the one domain (science) that requires truthtelling. He refers to experimental studies on children that show how, at an early age, they acquire the capactiy to lie and learn when it is appropriate to do so. He reviews how lying has been evaluated by moralists, examines why we do not regard novels as lies and relates the human capacity to lie to deceit among other animal species. He concludes that although there are, in all societies, good pragmatic reasons for not lying all the time, there are also strong reasons for lying some of the time.

Book Description

Ginny slips through the cracks of her parents divorce and grows up like a weed, undernourished in motherly love and overnourished in all the wrong ways. Ginny is potent, addictive, and as delicious and nutritious as nicotine. Sometimes tragic, sometimes funny but always sexy, she improvises her way through her days with unintended honesty and compulsive joy, and very little morality of the conventional kind. This Pack of Lies is Ginny's ruthless look at her unlikely life in Bombay in the eighties. Ignoring the way things should be, she makes us question them. It is not Ginny who lies, but the world around her that refuses her candor, denies her truths, and turns her away as the girl who cries wolf.

Book Description

Gilbert Sorrentino is one of the most accomplished innovators in twentieth-century fiction, a position that is everywhere confirmed in this trilogy of novels, Odd Number, Rose Theatre, and Misterioso. Beginning with a series of interrogations (we never do find out why they are being conducted) about characters drawn from other Sorrentino novels and concluding with the reappearance of the same characters, Pack of Lies is Gilbert Sorrentino's testament to the supremacy of the imagination, a critique of the state of art and society, and a vicious comedy portraying a world of fraud and mayhem.

Book Description

I'm supposed to be the Alpha's mate. Screw that. Since I was born, I was destined to be one thing-the Alpha's Mate. It should be every girl's dream. Not mine, though. He's too dark and damaged, and I've got a secret he can never know: I'm not a true wolf. Instead of waiting for him to figure out I'm an abomination, I left on my fifteenth birthday. But I didn't go far. No way in hell would I let him drive me from the town I love. Ten years later, I'm still hiding in plain sight. When I occasionally see him on the street-deadly, sexy, powerful--I just walk by. Keep my head down. Until that night. Wrong place, wrong time, and suddenly I'm accused of murdering someone from my old pack. And he's there. Blaming me. I've got one chance to prove my innocence and find the real killer, or I'm dead by shifter law. Fortunately, the Alpha doesn't recognize me because I'm no longer the same ugly duckling. He senses I'm special though, and he won't stop until he figures out the truth. But when he does, I'll be in danger from more than just the murderer.
