Some things can't be saved. What would you do if your guardian angel wasn't sent to protect you from the world but to protect the world from you? For thirteen years, Gracen Sullivan dreamed about a red-eyed demon named Hart Blackwell who tortured her every night. Her mother freaked when she found out about her daughter's "hallucinations" and forced Gracen to go to the doctor, who prescribed some very powerful medication which kept Hart out of her head for five years. A week ago, Hart came back and brought a friend. But something has changed, and Gracen is seeing Hart when she's awake too. And the other "friends" in her dreams? They have been found dead. The police want to talk to her. Her boyfriend has become distant. Her dreams are becoming more and more intense. Hell wants her. Heaven has to stop her. When push comes shoving, can Gracen fight the evil eating away inside her or will she be forced to embrace it and destroy the world?

Is this it? Why does life seem so unfair? It's easy to see others living our dreams. It's easy to feel held back, misunderstood and invisible, but there comes a time in our lives when we just can't take it anymore. This is when we need answers and the confirmation that who we think we are can change.The pain of jealousy and envy grew too much for Kelly Martin when she saw friends, family and strangers passing her by in every single area of her life. Feeling crushed by the weight of the 'comparison junkie' she cried out for answers.

You can't believe everything you see. Reeling from the events that took place at the King House, Abel Hale and Elise Morgan have been sent to a new haunting at the house of Cody Cain. Except thanks to overhearing a private conversation between Abel and the evil Silas Ford, Elise isn't sure she can trust Abel, much less work with him. That fact breaks her heart because she had begun having real feelings for him, feelings that won't go away no matter how much she tries. As a former frat house, Cody's home has seen its share of good times. It has also seen its share of pain, suffering, and death. Six months ago, the paranormal activity in the house skyrocketed, forcing Cody to ask for help from the producers of Dark and Deadly Things, namely Silas. The house is something Elise has never seen before. The walls move, time jumps in and out, and nothing is ever the same. It is as if the house is in a time loop, moving and swaying from past to present. Caught in the loop is the ghost of Andrew Scott (no relation to the actor). He has his own secrets and a connection to Elise that will rock her already upended world. With two days to find out what is going on at the Cain house, Abel and Elise have to use every trick they've learned so far to not only figure out what exactly is going on, but what it means to for them. Because something evil has taken residence at the Cain house, something that knows Abel and Elise all too well.

The final showdown has begun. With Abel in the hospital and Molly stronger than ever, it is up to Elise and newly released Silas Ford to figure out a way to send Molly back to Hell for good. She won't make it easy, of course. She has bargains to keep. Elise Morgan is ready for this to all be over. With a ticking time bomb in her head, she makes it her mission to rid the world - and her possessed father - of Molly once and for all. Who will live? Who will die? Molly Drake has souls to take.

Don't answer the phone. Don't open the door. Jake Austin finds himself standing in the middle of a dirt road, looking at an old farmhouse with no memory of how he got there. It isn't the first time he's been somewhere and not remember how-but it is the first time he's woken up alone. Valley Draper has lived in the farmhouse for as long as she can remember. It might be haunted, but nothing comes without a price. When the handsome if not confused Jake comes in like he owns the place, Valley decides quickly that he needs a rude awakening. With a storm coming closer and time ticking away, can Jake find a way back home? Or are he and Valley stuck in a place that is much more than either of them bargained for?

The day before Sloan Bridges turns eighteen, her dream of having a perfect birthday is shattered. Home alone after spending the afternoon working on a science project at the new boy's house, Sloan is brutally attacked in her kitchen by a man she can't recognize. The only clue she has to go on is what he whispers in her ear, "You deserve this." The police have one suspect--Aaron Hunter, older brother of 'the new boy', who picked Sloan up a few nights before as she ran from a party. Adamant that he didn't do it, Aaron begs Sloan to believe him. For her part, Sloan doesn't know who to trust. She never saw her attacker's face, and when she does picture it, it's Aaron's face she sees standing over her. Trying to move on is impossible with a former best friend who taunts her and gives her the moniker, "Saint Sloan", an ex-boyfriend who doesn't understand why she changed a few months before her attack, and Aaron's brother, Ray, who makes Sloan smile but has a side she doesn't understand. With her attacker ready to strike again, Sloan has to figure out who would hurt her and stop him before he finishes what he started. Happy birthday to her...

Friday, May 3, 1861 My brother is going to kill me. Kill me or laugh at me-or something. If he ever finds this book... this... Heavens I don't want to say journal. However, I suppose that's what it is. A book where I can write down my thoughts. I'm sure not able to, nor have the capacity to, do it in life. In real life. And if mother ever sees this... I shudder to think what she would do to me. This is my father's journal. I found it here last week in an old trunk shoved back in the loft of the barn. I find things to do so I don't have to go inside the house. I have my reasons. I suppose this is a safe place to share those reasons or talk about why. No one else is going to come up here and read it, but I know my feelings. So, why should I write them down? Because my grandfather did. Because I want to be in the house as little as possible. Because I need to talk to someone. Because there is something in me that I can't explain. Something dark.

Elise Morgan is about to find out that the sins of the father come back to haunt you. Running from Abel Hale seemed like a good idea at the time. Now as the only living soul in her cramped dorm room, Elise thinks maybe she's made a very bad mistake. Naked Girl, who has waited patiently, wants to tell her story. Elise's mom and Abel's mom want to be heard. And Kim Forrester... she wants revenge because she wouldn't be where she is if it weren't for Elise. One bad day... When the thing that has terrorized them resurfaces, Abel begs Elise to go with him for one last ghost hunt. She doesn't have to forgive him, but he needs her help to send the monster back where it came from. Every choice has a consequence. Every lie has a repercussion. Who can you trust when you can't even trust yourself? One bad day can kill.

JESSUP HART BLACKWELL SAVED THE WORLD. Not that anyone will ever know. Not that they'll remember. But I know. I remember. That's my curse. I don't agree with how he did it. I wish it had been me that died. Lord knows we would've all been safer if I'd been the one instead of Hart. But he couldn't let that happen. He couldn't live with it. How am I supposed to live with it? The pain. The remorse. The pressing feeling that something inside me that I can't control is still there... dormant but not dead. Ready to pounce. Ready to kill again. Hart saved the world, that's true. But he couldn't save me.

Start at the beginning... You want to know how it all began. How I fell for her? How I started to love...? You want to know how I met Oliver Weston. How I grew to hate him? Why I did what I did? You want to know how it all began? Because every story has a beginning, doesn't it? Even mine. Especially mine. I loved her. I still do. And I hated him. Still do. So this is it. The start. My 'in the beginning'. This is how an average guy from Oklahoma ended up here... talking to you. It all started innocently enough. I needed a place to live. Jordan needed a roommate. It hit me out of the blue. I only wish it had ended differently. But we will get to that later. Start at the beginning... are you sure you are ready?

There's good. There's evil. Then there's her. When Gracen Sullivan stabbed Hart Blackwell, she thought it was over. She thought the world was safe - safe from her. Stuck in the Abyss, watching as the evil inside her body takes over, she has to find some way to stop it. Hart Blackwell expected to wake up in Hell. Instead, he woke up in his grave. With the world falling apart, he has to put the bad history with his brother in the past or there will be no future. Armageddon has been set in motion. Enemies will have to work together or everything will end in fire and brimstone. The Abomination is here. And she must be stopped no matter the consequences.

Welcome to the dark. Blessed (or cursed) with the ability to see ghosts, Elise was a fixture on her dad's reality ghost hunting show, Dark and Deadly Things, until she realized her father faked the evidence just to get ratings. Now Elise is watching his Halloween special on live TV while eating popcorn next to her ghost of a mother. Something goes horribly wrong... Two members of the Halloween special's family are dead. One is missing and Elise's dad is the main suspect. Only Elise knows the truth. Only she saw what really happened to the family before the lights went out. Elise joins the only surviving member of the murdered family, Abel, to find the thing that destroyed both of their families -- find it and destroy it. How do you kill a ghost? Easy, you take on one paranormal case at a time until you figure it out.

Darkness is devious. Now that Abel Hale and Elise Morgan have been forced to hunt ghosts for Silas Ford's television show, things are about to get all kinds of freaky. Their first case involves Shonda King, a mother in Kentucky whose friendly childhood ghost has turned into an adult nightmare. Shonda, terrified for the safety of her family, wants Abel and Elise to get rid of the ghost - by any means necessary. Sarah, though, is much more powerful than Abel and Elise realize. She's a doppelganger who can make herself into anyone - anything. When you have as much baggage as Abel and Elise have, that is not a good thing. Locked down for forty-eight hours, can Abel and Elise fight through all of Sarah's tricks? Or will their two days of terror be enough to end their partnership - and their lives - forever?

If Shane Davis had it to do over again, he wouldn't have gone out that night. He wouldn't have burned down the church. And he sure wouldn't have taken the annoying dead girl home with him. Now that Shane has her, he has no idea what to do with her. He can't release her into the "wild" because people will recognize her (being a hundred and fifty year old town 'legend' will do that). He can't send her away because she can't take care of herself yet. And she can't stay because if people find her, they'll know he burned the church. Being eighteen now, Shane definitely doesn't want that fact coming out. Unbeknownst to Shane, someone has figured out the girl's secret and will do anything to get it for himself... even kill the girl who isn't so immortal after all.

Sometimes all the wishing in the world doesn't change the fact that in order to save everyone, you have to destroy yourself. Sometimes good doesn't always win. Sometimes choices suck. Sometimes people don't break their promises. Sometimes the thing we hate the most is the one thing that can save us. Sometimes... Sometimes love ruins everything.

The sign over the covered antique mirror said DO NOT TOUCH. Twelve-year-old Nora wished she had listened.

One who looks for the potential in each individual, Kelly Martin in this biography of his own life's struggles shares the thoughts and feelings of one who is striving for achievement. Each one of us, on this planet we call earth, is on a journey, one on which there are unknown roadblocks along the way.Wrought with unmarked intersections or "splits" in the road, there are also many decisions one must make, some of those emerging as major setbacks to progress if the wrong path is taken. There are "pits" along the road waiting to swallow the careless or the unwary.To live life in the role of a flight instructor, one must regularly deal with the challenges of weather and maintain a high sense of survival, as well as learn to deal with many different personalities.Having piloted airplanes in more than forty-five different countries, Mr. Martin has met many people of a diverse number of backgrounds. He believes that everybody has a story to tell and that each individual can "climb out" of whatever pit they might find themselves in. They can achieve their goals, given the necessary encouragement along the way.We each have our battles to fight. In this book, he takes us back to a famous battle that occurred during World War II, paralleling life's challenges with the survival of one participant of that battle.Firmly believing that God has a worthwhile purpose for every one of His children, Mr. Martin emphasizes the human connection that each one of us needs and that technology will never be able to replace.

The topic of this keenly researched research monograph is the allusive and interdisciplinary nature of literary translation. Dr. Martin's work concentrates on the fields of rhetoric and new media studies. That is, these fields are sites that help develop the theories and methodology presented, but are also sites that benefit from the study of literary translation.
