Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years ago, 40 cars lined up for the first Indianapolis 500. We are still waiting to find out who won. The Indy 500 was created to showcase the controversial new sport of automobile racing, which was sweeping the country. Daring young men were driving automobiles at the astonishing speed of 75 miles per hour, testing themselves and their vehicles. With no seat belts, hard helmets or roll bars, the dangers were enormous. When the Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened in 1909, seven people were killed, some of them spectators. Oil-slicked surfaces, clouds of smoke, exploding tires, and flying grit all made driving extremely hazardous, especially with the open-cockpit, windshield-less vehicles. Bookmakers offered bets not only on who might win but who might survive. But this book is about more than a race--it is the story of America at the dawn of the automobile age, a country in love with speed, danger, and spectacle.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed author Anne Blankman returns to the shadowy and dangerous world of 1930s Germany in this thrilling sequel to Prisoner of Night and Fog, perfect for fans of Code Name Verity. The girl known as Gretchen Whitestone has a secret: She used to be part of Adolf Hitler's inner circle. More than a year after she made an enemy of her old family friend and fled Munich, she lives in England, posing as an ordinary German immigrant, and is preparing to graduate from high school. Her love, Daniel, is a reporter in town. For the first time in her life, Gretchen is content. But then Daniel gets a telegram that sends him back to Germany, and Gretchen's world turns upside down. When she receives word that Daniel is wanted for murder, she has to face the danger she thought she'd escaped—and return to her homeland. Gretchen must do everything she can to avoid capture, even though saving Daniel will mean consorting with her former friends, the Nazi elite. And as they work to clear Daniel's name, Gretchen and Daniel discover a deadly conspiracy stretching from the slums of Berlin to the Reichstag itself. Can they dig up the explosive truth and get out in time—or will Hitler discover them first?

Book excerpt: The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

For hundreds of years, the eldest male Flinch has been servant and guardian to the vampire, Lord Underwood. While the Flinches have changed through the generations, Underwood has remained eternal. David had hoped to be spared the horror of serving his family's lord and master, but when he is summoned to the Flinch home in Spain by his dying older brother, he knows his luck has run out. After fifty years of slumber, Underwood is to be resurrected from the grave in a ritual of human sacrifice, and David, by right of succession, is to be his resurrector. But there is another Flinch, one who craves the role of guardian to the vampire: David's sister, Lydia. It's a job she means to have, even if it means making David's the first blood shed in this new age of Underwood and Flinch.

An immense continent full of whimsical entities, their advancements, and the people who govern them. One of those vast institutes would be the far-reaching and ever-omnipresent criminal underworld of Auvadeth. An ever-flourishing web of illegal rackets and robbery peppered with double-dealing machinations that often have murderous outcomes. An organized crime ring long maintained by a wicked wizard and his five underlying bosses strewn throughout the land. Join Lance in recanting the tale from the very beginning. His tale of Casaniel Donavon, the boss of the most powerful and influential family, the Meknisto Dynasty of Phoydan City. The man who irrevocably changed his life forever. A narcissistic, spoiled trust fund baby with raging psychotic quirks, Lance gets entangled with Casey, not knowing the dangers that come with the veiled monster. He's certainly in for more than he bargained for, but is Casey truly a monster? And can he learn to love once more? Meanwhile, Aghanim Luproteza, boss of Nessex City, whom Casey has named false brethren, continuously strives to divide the criminal enterprise that entwines the Sister Cities for good and all. Little does he realize his own naivety has made him a thrall to his own vicious underboss who'd seek to undo everything the Sister Cities have strived to achieve. Recorded within are testimonies from those who suffered and triumphed during perilous battles and tragic happenstance. This is A Rap of Blood and Smoke.

Book excerpt: Scott became a paramedic to help people. Action, thrills, and heroism; the ambulance was his world. It was rock and roll condensed into a white shirt, a red cross, and the smell of diesel. He loved it with every ounce of his soul, even as it chewed him up and spat him out. Steadily, his youthful explorations with drugs and alcohol became destructive addictions. His once shy and flirtatious demeanor spiraled into patterns of emotional detachment and excessive promiscuity, all to hide the hole that was growing larger within him. He never thought that he'd crossed the line from it all being fun and games until the trauma of it all had isolated him from everyone he used to care about. Brought to the ragged end, he had to decide between surrender to the darkness or seeking the road to redemption.
