❝ A liar once said that every cloud has a silver lining. ❞ In a kingdom as renowned as Forteaux Academy, the falling of one monarch leads to the ascendance of another. Heart sliced in two by the woman he thought understood him, Gabriel Reid relishes the disassociation from humanity that came gifted alongside the golden throne. After all, the chance of emotions destroying you is non-existent if the heart itself perishes. Armed with a gorgeous face hand-carved by angels and a silver body, cast by the devil himself, the infatuated hands of all reach out for a touch of his infallible skin. Love hurts when it's tainted but kills when it's not reciprocated and a pair of seafoam eyes, obsessed with the King, knows that better than ever. With broken friendships, deep rooted bitterness and pure loathing still scattered across the Academy grounds, the reappearance of a woman having second doubts is destined to be the flame to the fuel. Because for every King, there can only be one Queen. •--- ♛ ♕ ♛ ---• #1 prestigious | 290321 | #20 drunk | 020321 | #14 gold | 041024 | The Taste of Silver, Book Two of Fortune's Fool Trilogy, KiwiAndKoalas, All rights reserved ©

After narrowly escaping the wrath of the Beast (and its deranged master) returning to an ordinary life seems impossible, especially with her psychic boyfriend Luc around. It doesn't help that Rachel is tortured every night by nightmares... Nightmares that are beginning to bleed into her waking life. The appearance of a ghostly girl -- a girl only she can see -- threatens what's left of Rachel's delicate mind. It doesn't help that her boyfriend Luc thinks it's all in her head, a product of her past trauma and strained nerves. He's psychic after all; wouldn't he know? But as more and more apparitions begin to appear, Rachel begins to doubt Luc's word. These ghostly girls seem to want something from her. With no one on her side, Rachel is forced to go hunting for her own answers. Only, she might not like what she finds... As unsettling and twisted as the first book, The Psychic Within will drag you in and not let you go.

Seventeen year-old Eliza Taylor's latest run-in with New York City Police lands her on a bus with a one way ticket to the small town of Blackwater. Unimpressed with being an indentured servant for her cranky and ridiculously ancient aunt, Eliza soon finds hope when she meets Dante, another of her aunt's employees, as well as Chase, the cute boy-next-door who works at his dad's hardware store. Unfortunately, Eliza's panache for getting into trouble rears its ugly head when she discovers her aunt's shop sells more than just postcards from 1988. Her aunt's "private showroom" houses each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. But stopping her evil aunt from damning the souls of unsuspecting teens has a price - and that price might very well be Eliza's eternal soul. Can Eliza survive her evil aunt, outwit the dark master she serves, and keep a few souls out of Hell, including her own? She's not so sure, but seeing as how she likes her soul in the upright and firmly out-of-hell position, she's gonna give it her best shot. Hopefully her best won't end up killing her and ruining her afterlife - God knows her normal life is hard enough! **Copyrighted Material: Bad Company Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.
