Books six of the contemporary mythos series and my favorite of them all! There is some slight damage to the spine of the book but overall it’s a great series.

A god-king disguised as a criminal defense lawyer...Zeus/Zane, King of the Greek gods, holds the world in his palm in both his mortal and godly form? until Hera leaves him, forcing him to uphold Gaea's clause: There must always be a Queen, or he loses his title and part of his power along with it. Time is short. Too bad the one woman he has his sights on wants nothing to do with him. Or does she?An empath criminal prosecutor...There's nothing Keira Bazin dislikes more than defense lawyers. So when she discovers Zane Vronti, one of New York's finest, has been brought in on her newest murder case, it's anything but good news. Tensions flare as the two immediately butt heads, but there's something about Zane she can't put her finger on. His emotions are the strongest she's ever felt--borderline overwhelming. Power. Lust. Command. Can she fight her growing attraction for him? Does she want to?

Book four of the contemporary mythos series! I loved this series but I need more room in my bookshelf

When clients start dropping like flies, claiming that a bartender at The Arrow led them to the "love of their lives", she decides to take matters into her own hands or risk being clientless.

Book three of the contemporary mythos series. One of my favorite books in the series and I love the whole series! I just haven’t read it again.

Around him, visions of battle, chaos, and destruction plague her thoughts. The red glint in his eyes holds more than mystery--it bears the unknown cure for both their fury?if they can learn to work together, that is.

The second book in the contemporary mythos series! It’s a great book series and I have read the series through three times. 

For ballet dancer Laurel Berg, no amount of artistic expression ever seemed enough to satisfy the ravenous muse within her. Painting didn't have enough brush strokes, music didn't seem to have enough notes. But when the company director announces Ace, front man of the band Apollo's Suns would have a special appearance in their new production, she had no idea she'd be amidst the King of the Muses himself. And when magical things start happening, things she can't rationally explain, she'll discover there's more to rock star Ace than an ego the size of Mount Olympus and a dazzling smile that could put the sun to shame.

Apollo

And she certainly had no idea that he was telling the truth. Her Greek vacation was about to become very...interactive.A Hades/Persephone re-imagining.**The Contemporary Mythos series will feature a different Greek god in each book re-exploring their myths and combining contemporary romance tropes. Though they will all stand alone, the stories will also intersect for those that read them all.**

I read this book in one day and I thought it was cute. I didn’t love how much miscommunication there was between the two main characters though. There’s a rip in the cover of the book at the top corner of the spine (I bought it this way unfortunately).

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is my favorite author ever! There is some damage to the cover and spine of the book. There is also some damage to the end pages of the book (pages are wavy, but only on the corner).

A Hercule Poirot Mystery

In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, murder is part of the curriculum at an exclusive school for girls, and the intrepid Poirot sets out to bring a stealthy killer to justice.

Late one night, two teachers investigate a mysterious flashing light in the sports pavilion while the rest of the school sleeps. There, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of an unpopular games mistress--shot through the heart point-blank.

The school is thrown into chaos when the "cat" strikes again. Unfortunately, schoolgirl Julia Upjohn knows too much. In particular, she knows that without Hercule Poirot's help, she will be the next victim....

I bought this book at a thrift store designated for books in manhattan over the summer and I haven’t touched it since. The sticker on the back of the book is from said bookstore.

A Novel

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Manny--a vibrant novel of love, life lessons, and learning to trust yourself

Allie Crawford has the life she always dreamed of--she's number two at a high-profile P.R. firm; she has two kids she adores; and her husband is a blend of handsome and heroic. Wade is everything she thought a man was supposed to be--he's running a successful newsmagazine and, best of all, he provides the stable yet exciting New York City life Allie believes she needs in order to feel secure and happy.

But when Allie finds Wade locked in their laundry room with a stunning blonde in snakeskin sandals, a scandal ensues that flips her life on its head. And when the woman wants to befriend Allie, an old flame calls, and a new guy gets a little too close for comfort, she starts to think her marriage is more of a facade than something real. Maybe she's fallen in love not with Wade--but with the idea of him.

Captivating and seductive, told in the whip-smart voice of a woman who is working hard to keep her parenting and career on track, The Idea of Him is a novel of conspiracy, intrigue, and intense passion--and discovering your greatest strength through your deepest fears.

I bought this book used from a thrift store specifically for books in Manhattan. There is a price sticker on the back of the book still because I didn’t want to ruin the book by trying to take it off.

'While Oxford had Morse, Whitstable, famous for its oysters, has Pearl'Daily Mail

Murder on the Pilgrims Way is the fourth book in Julie Wassmer's popular crime series - now a major Acorn TV drama, Whitstable Pearl, starring Kerry Godliman as private detective and restaurateur, Pearl Nolan.

Pearl receives a surprise present from her mother, Dolly - an early summer break at a riverside manor house that has been recently transformed into an exclusive hotel - the newly named Villa Pellegrini.

Pellegrini - the Italian word for pilgrims - reflects the fact that the building lies on the old Pilgrims Way into Canterbury, and Pearl is looking forward to the break, not least because DCI Mike McGuire has been neglecting her due to his work. But when she discovers that she's actually booked in for a cookery course from the Italian celebrity chef, Nico Caruso, she begins to think again . . .

Pearl doesn't welcome instruction on cookery at the best of times, and certainly not from an arrogant chef like Caruso. She goes along, intent on challenging Caruso's egotism - and a long tradition of men dominating gastronomy - but soon finds herself distracted, not only by her enchanting surroundings but by the disparate selection of guests.

She even begins to enjoy Caruso's attentions - and his cookery - until one of the guests goes missing and it becomes clear that murder is on the menu.
