Since reaching maturity, his life hasn't been as carefree as it used to be, but he's found a way to fight his growing destructive urges by losing himself in women. That is until Paige enters his life and falls half dead into his arms. Looking only to keep her safe, Ian flees with her. Paige has spent the past four years of her life training to fight and kill vampires. Her desire for revenge is the only thing that's kept her going, so when she's forced into hiding with Ian, she's determined to believe he's nothing but another monster in need of beheading. The more time they spend together, the more she begins to question what she's always believed about vampires. Unfortunately, if she lets him in, she'll have to admit that what she's fought so hard for may be nothing but a lie. Ian is determined to make her see him for what he truly he is, and not what she believes him to be. He can only hope he'll be able to do so before she returns to her old life, and to the certain death awaiting her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tavia Gilbert.

Half-dead witch Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead--but since she bonded to Eli Stonecroft, a faery prince in self-imposed exile in New Orleans, her magic has vanished. A fun spa weekend away with friends in a city free of monsters, what could be better? Gen's necromancy had been on the fritz, so a recharge sounds perfect-until she arrives in San Diego to discover that either the spa is two steps beyond weird or there's magic afoot. REVIEWS:"A hoot with a wide array of baddies, and a superb collection of paranormal female dynamos!"--Fresh Fiction on the HEX ON THE BEACH anthology ON MY NOVELLA:"Daiquiris & Daggers" is a novella in Melissa Marr's "Faery Bargains" series featuring Geneviève "Gen" Crowe. Even though I hadn't read the previous books in this series, I was able to follow along and find the story entertaining. I look forward to hunting down those other stories to devour. . . While there is some death and danger in "Daiquiris & Daggers", this story was the most whimsical [in HEX ON THE BEACH]. The snappy dialogue adds a little humor to the story and added to my overall enjoyment. The story ends with a romantic hope for some supporting characters but that's balanced with an ominous possible threat for the future.-- Fresh Fiction review of HEX ON THE BEACH

5 Famous English Historical Figures: English History, Hörbuch, Digital, 103min

Five famous English historical figures, five controversial characters of almost legendary proportions, that have to be well-known and understood if one is interested in knowing about the English spirit and history. Sir Francis Drake was a sea captain and a privateer of the Elizabethan era; his exploits made him a hero to the English but his privateering led the Spanish to brand him a pirate. Henry VIII was king in a time of extreme religious unrest, and became such a bloody monster that he was eventually called the "English Nero". Richard III is one of the most divisive and enigmatic figures in British history. His real tragedy was both personal and political; his story, replete with intrigue, murder, war, and treachery. Son of a thug, Thomas Cromwell rose up from the back alleys of rural Putney to be Henry VIII's right hand man, and was destroyed in the moment of his greatest triumph, ending up on the scaffold; he was the mastermind behind Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. The king wanted to marry Anne Boleyn and used Cromwell to begin the breaking of the power of the Catholic Church in England; the divorce was eventually pronounced, Anne married the king, and it all ended with her beheading. Discover the tumultuous and bloody history behind all of these fundamental characters. Language: English. Narrator: Katie Haigh.

Possibly the stupidest damn thing I've ever done. Mixing heaven and hell on my cousin's famous birthday seemed like such a brilliant idea. I wanted my baby's first Christmas to be special - memorable. I'd like to chalk my heinous idea up to having been falling-down drunk, but that won't fly, as it's insanely difficult for a Vampyre to tie one on. So instead I'll deal with obscene gifts from relatives, kidnapped rock stars, and catering by Mother Nature. To complicate matters, our new family pet thinks the whole house is his toilet. Ethan and I can't even find a room with working lock on the door to spread a little holiday cheer. Never, never again. Christmas from now on will be at a freakin' spa for the undead - no poles for dancing and no slumber parties with the devil. I just have to make it through the next 24 hours without beheading a beloved one. Merry freakin' Christmas - and Happy New Year. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Almasy.

In the latest letter, young Josh said he was thinking of finally leaving the military to take his place on the ranch at his grandfather’s side. Joshua was overjoyed, but his joy was cut short when he saw a picture of his grandson on the news. The report said young Josh was taken hostage by the head of the most violent ISIS unit, known as the “Storm Demons”. Their leader, Shakir, was infamous for beheading his hostages and broadcasting the horrors online to the world. Threatening Joshua Jacobs’ grandson was a mistake.

A Macat Analysis of Ernst H. Kantorowicz's The King's Two Bodies: A Study in Medieval Political Theology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min

A Macat analysis of Ernst H. Kantorowicz's The King's Two Bodies: A Study in Medieval Political Theology Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1997 Examining 1,200 years of history from the foundation of Charlemagne's Holy Roman Empire to the beheading of King Charles I in England is in itself a mammoth undertaking. But it is the issues explored by German American historian Ernst H. Kantorowicz in his 1957 study The King's Two Bodies that have had a profound effect on the way academics think about the study of history. Early European monarchs were considered to have two bodies: one earthly and private, one almost divine, embodying the State. Examining the image of these two bodies, Kantorowicz goes on to identify the ways in which monarchies used religious imagery and ideas to enhance and extend the ruler's power and to form states. Analyzing an impressive array of primary material - from literary and artistic texts to historical and legal works - Kantorowicz compares the ways leaders across the centuries make use of broadly similar symbols to achieve their political ends. Decades after its original publication, The King's Two Bodies remains a major text in its field. You can find out more about how Kantorowicz's ideas have been challenged and applied - and how his work has impacted on thinkers in other academic disciplines - by exploring further in the Macat Library. Macat's analyses cover 14 different subjects in the humanities and social sciences. Macat. Learn better. Think smarter. Aim higher. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Macat.com.

Sex. If there was one thing the Tudors did well, it was sex! Sex and beheading traitors; although rarely at the same time. With well over one hundred years on the throne, the Tudor dynasty experienced its fair share of sex scandals. This book looks at some of the more interesting and significant ones and explores the issues around them in a fun, non-heavy way. Among the Tudor sex scandals covered: The near-disastrous relationship between a 14-year-old Tudor princess and her stepmother's handsome new husband. The relationship that could have left the future virgin queen with child. The lust and spellbinding stupidity of a teenage queen and one of the Tudor king's most trusted men. The clandestine marriage between the king's sister and his best friend. But was it really all Henry VIII's idea to get his hands on a fortune? How the heir presumptive to the English throne defied the queen and managed to get with child while prisoner in the Tower of London. The teenage mistress that captivated Henry VIII for far longer than five of his queens. The most infamous sex scandal of the Tudor age. The scandal that common sense tells us didn't happen, but left the scaffold awash with blood. This is a little book that you can enjoy in your lunch hour. If you find you enjoy it you can read some heavier volumes by other authors in the future. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katherine Littrell.
