The Squirrels Were Not Impressed

They say he’ll break her heart, but that just might be the one risk she’s willing to take.

What does it matter if I’m a bit reserved?
So what if I’m a touch socially awkward?
If I don’t break free from my shell now, I’ll be sentenced to a dull, monotonous existence, where nothing exciting ever happens to me.

Maybe it’s not the smartest decision to move into a house with a group of strangers I found on the internet, but can you blame me for seeking a change? And there’s no better way to branch out than to throw myself into a situation that causes me intense discomfort.
That’s what I’m telling myself anyway…

And then there’s the complication that is Dean. This insanely attractive, charming — albeit cynical — guy that has inserted himself into my life. Everyone has made it their mission to warn me that he doesn’t do commitment and I’ll only end up getting hurt. But it seems with him, I’ll need to find out for myself. Because no matter how much I try to resist, I can’t seem to stay away from him…

Skye O’Shea is ready for a fresh start. Again. After surviving her latest murder investigation and finally getting ready to reopen her Gran’s B&B and pub, the fledgling innkeeper hopes Ballybás’s biggest problem will be a slow tourist season. But when an overzealous building crew disturbs a burial site, the village’s peace unravels like loose thread in a storm.

Already on edge from eerie sightings and howling wind that seems to whisper her name, Skye’s fae cat leads her into a chilling scene, ancient bones in the bog. With rumors of an elopement gone bad resurfacing and her own bloodline tangled in local legends, she must uncover who, or what, is haunting Ballybás before the revenants rise from the darkness.
Can Skye unravel the truth before the veil tears completely?

The classic memoir of the Sioux Nation by the early-twentieth century Indian rights activist and son of a Lakota chief.

When it was originally published in 1928, Luther Standing Bear’s autobiographical account of his tribe and tribesmen was hailed by Van Wyck Brooks as “one of the most engaging and veracious we have ever had.” It remains a landmark in Native American literature, among the first books about Native Americans written by a Native American.

Born in the 1860s, the son of a Lakota chief, Standing Bear was in the first class at Carlisle Indian School, witnessed the Ghost Dance uprising from the Pine Ridge Reservation, toured Europe with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, and devoted his later years to the Native American rights movement of the 1920s and 1930s.

Because the AI has not simply predicted the future, it may have created it.

While researching the cause of beehive demise across the country, scientific prodigy Javier stumbles onto a breakthrough discovery — a virus carried by bugs that insecticides can’t eradicate. It explains a string of human illnesses and deaths, and it means a vaccine is possible. But instead of his achievement being celebrated, his bosses try to murder him.

Bloody and bruised, Javier flees only to collapse in the courtyard of a homeless shelter. Liz, a jaded widow, saves him and agrees to help as the authorities trump up charges against him. Together, they become fugitives, and in searching for a way to develop a vaccine, they discover an intricate chain of secrets that leads to the most powerful entities in the country.
