Blackhearted Betrayal by Kasey Mackenzie Pdf

From the acclaimed author of Green-Eyed Envy comes a tumultuous tale of unrest among the Furies... As Boston’s Chief Magical Investigator, Riss Holloway has been responsible for solving any crimes committed by or against supernaturals. But now she’s taking a leave of absence from the Boston PD and heading home--to focus on her duties as a Fury: like assisting her mother with an unsettling friction brewing in the Sisterhood, a faction of Furies sworn to serve all the Deities equally. These days, someone is playing favorites, drawing Riss into a tumultuous civil war embroiling every god and goddess. What was once a precept, to stand as a united whole policing arcanekind for millennia, has been divided by something Riss never imagined—and choosing sides could be the most dangerous move she’s ever made.

Forged from Flame by Kasey Mackenzie Pdf

Sure, I rise from death like the proverbial Phoenix. Question is: How long will it take my enemies to learn I'm going to keep getting back up? Plenty people have deadbeat parents, but how many have fathers who keep showing up to kill them? Just one more example of what a lucky woman I am. Oh wait, I'm not even human anymore--I'm a Fire-controlling Elemental called a Phoenix. And boy, do I have daddy issues! I also have long-lost sibling issues when my sister and brother show up on my new Elemental clan's doorstep. They were rescued from Daddy Dearest's evil lab by an old enemy in a show of good faith. Turns out that enemy's now carrying his latest magical science experiments (twins!) and claims she can help us save my bondmate Jake's own twin, Colin. The one we thought was beyond saving. Now we're in a race to find Colin's watery grave and free my siblings from our father's psychic powers. If only I master my own abilities as the world's first Elemental liegelord in centuries, we might stand a chance. The title's gender-neutral, thank you very much, and I'm about to show Daddy Dearest he messed with the wrong daughter. Failure's not an option, because it means that everyone I love will be mind-controlled minions of my father--or dead beyond saving. ***Note from Author: This is an adult urban fantasy book featuring a smoking-hot romantic subplot suitable for readers 18+. It features elemental magic with humans who kick butt, take names, and keep flinging themselves into danger to fight for what they believe in. If you love books by Kelley Armstrong, Karen Chance, K.F. Breene, Linsey Hall, Kim Harrison, Yasmine Galenorn, Dannika Dark, and Hailey Edwards, chances are you will love this series!

Embraced by Embers by Kasey Mackenzie Pdf

Whoever coined the term dysfunctional family must have had my evil, deadbeat father in mind. Not only has he killed me several times—too bad for him my Phoenix powers keep bringing me back—but he’s also trying to take over the world. Literally. Thank goodness I now have two siblings by my side. Our liegebond is growing just as strong as my magical ties to the love of my life, Jake. We plan to send double agents to infiltrate our father’s headquarters, thinking we can gain the edge in this bloody war. Except it turns out we have our own mole to worry about, something that becomes frighteningly clear when deadly assassins keep getting way too close for comfort. Is the traitor one of my new liegesworn who are supposed to be magically bound to protect me above all else? Or is it someone even closer; someone whose betrayal will cut me to the bone? Battle lines are being drawn, but it’s getting damned difficult to tell who is on which side. My powers may be increasing—but so is my emotional vulnerability. And if we don’t figure out who the traitor is, Daddy Dearest just might succeed in making his cruel vision of the future a reality. Leaving my loved ones dead, mind-controlled minions, or the traitor who brought my entire world crashing down.

Ignited by Ashes by Kasey Mackenzie Pdf

Like discovering I had a mind-controlling father determined to conquer the world wasn’t bad enough. Now I’ve also got a dream-invading brother and magic-stealing sister following in Daddy Dearest’s evil footsteps. It’s almost enough to make me wish I’d never found my birth family. Fortunately, not all my newfound relatives play for Team Evil. Those who don’t are just as dedicated to stopping our father’s awful agenda as I am. If only I can learn how to control the terrifying Mindbender powers stirring inside me—without losing myself to darkness. No pressure. On the plus side, my legendary predecessor long believed dead agrees to train me to use Spirit magic now that I’ve gotten a handle on my Fire powers. On the down side? Team Evil knows how to hit me where it hurts, by striking out at those I care about most. They should have learned hurting those I love doesn’t just make me get mad—it guarantees I’ll get even. Now my allies and I are going to teach them that painful lesson one more time. Even if it means I need to die (again) trying.

Reckless by Hannah Howell Pdf

Heir to the clan MacFarlane, Ailis was a prize to be bartered by her calculating father, and her wedding to a man she despised seemed inevitable--until she is abducted by her clan's worst enemy, Alexander MaDubh, a brutally handsome laird with ice in his eyes and hot blood in his veins. Alexander had come riding into Leargan to claim the three children born of a forbidden love between his brother and lovely Ailis' sister. Now, with Ailis herself as his pawn, he can strike at the enemy whose treachery robbed his clan of so much. Her beauty and her fierce temper stir his blood, and vengeance has never been so sinfully sweet. But will a passion they cannot deny be enough to ease the pain and torment of the past? Praise for Hannah Howell and her Highland novels. . . "Few authors portray the Scottish highlands as lovingly or colorfully as Hannah Howell." --Publishers Weekly "Expert storyteller Howell pens another Highland winner." --Romantic Times

Reborn in FIre by Kasey Mackenzie Pdf

It sucks to die screaming in fire. Trust me. The last thing I expected was to wake up amid flames that no longer burn or be rescued by a sexy stranger right before my would-be murderers return. Sexy - AKA Jake - forces my skeptical butt to admit what I’d rather deny. Death has unleashed my Elemental power to manipulate fire magic. Now I’ve got to master my Phoenix powers before I’m killed again. Jake’s touch ignites me like flames no longer can, and he claims the same wildness that killed my mother will drive him insane if I don’t bind myself to him for life. Can I trust that Jake’s feelings won’t flash and fade? If I don’t, he’s going to lose his mind—and we both could lose our unnatural lives. ***Note from Author: This is an adult urban fantasy book featuring a smoking-hot romantic subplot suitable for readers 18+.

Now, along with his Brotherhood, Thorgil must face the dangers of the Western Mountains while attempting to maintain his leadership of the Brotherhood and defend his fortress from outside forces.

Not Just Bad Kids by Akeem Nassor Marsh,Lara Jo Cox Pdf

Not Just Bad Kids: The Adversity and Disruptive Behavior Link explores the theory that all behavior makes sense in context. If you understand a person’s frame of reference – their background, history and experience – you can imagine what might be driving their behavior. The book describes the social, cultural and environmental factors that shape the lives of many youths, including early childhood attachment which sets the foundation for how they interact with authority figures. The book also delves into an explanation of conduct disorder which is characterized by persistent, repetitive behaviors that violate the basic rights of other human beings and break rules. Studies have shown that conduct disorder affects 1-4% of adolescents in the United States and oppositional defiant disorder is estimated to develop in approximately 10.2% of children. The presence of DBD is also known to be more prevalent in boys than it is in girls. As there is a growing need to understand why children and adolescent exhibit signs of hostility, defiance and isolation, this book is an ideal resource for this timely topic. Encompasses both ODD and conduct disorder Introduces readers to the social, cultural and environmental factors that play a crucial part in disruptive behavior Demonstrates the interrelationship of attachment problems, chronic trauma and disruptive behavior Discusses current best practices for intervention and treatment in youth with disruptive behaviors Provides casework examples of patients with disruptive behavior disorder
