Dreams Die at Twilight by Wale Okediran Pdf

This is a heart-warming and humorous story about the lives of a group of young doctors and nurses in Lagos and the relationships that inevitably form amongst them. The author introduces an array of characters, all with foibles and idiosyncrasies, who entertain the reader and invite laughter; but sympathetically portrayed, they are all remarkable for their humanness. First there is Lamidi, an ugly doctor who was deformed by a polio attack, and a virgin, trying to get a girlfriend. His colleague and confidant, Jumi advises a make-over, a westernization of name (to Lemmy), and a direct approach. But Lemmy's forwardness with a nurse he is supposed to be tutoring - a 'touch-me-not' girl - soon results in scandal, as the nurses join in solidarity against him - even the promiscuous ones. Then there is Agnes, a Lagos socialite, who beside her steady boyfriend has affairs with businessmen and politicians in town, and keeps a doctor on the side to help along her studies. Agnes shocks everyone by getting together with Lemmy though it remains to be seen what lies ahead for them.

Twilight Dreams by Amanda Ashley Pdf

“A tender paranormal romance exploring love and family ties, and it’s tinged with intrigue and vengeance” from the bestselling author of As Twilight Falls (Publishers Weekly). Holly Parrish has never met anyone like Micah Ravenwood: his dark eyes, his movie-star smile, the indefinable way he looks at her. Even when she thought he was no more than another client for her investment firm, her lust overpowered her logic. But she never expected this attraction to whisk her from her busy southern California life to a silent and eerie ghost town in Wyoming. Only vampires call the deserted place home—and one of them is Micah. He says he’s brought her to Morgan Creek for her safety, that vicious creatures are hunting her. But how can Holly trust him? One look and she can see the need barely restrained behind Micah’s polite words. The heat of his kiss, the pleasure of his touch—none of it can tell her whether he wants her as his lover—or his prey . . . Praise for Amanda Ashley and Twilight Dreams “Master storyteller Amanda Ashley weaves a classic vampire tale of sensual, spine tingling suspense.” —Christine Feehan, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “A master of her craft.” —Maggie Shayne, New York Times–bestselling author “Amanda Ashley taking us into her amazing world of vampires with another sexy, intriguing read.” —Fresh Fiction “Author Ashley is no stranger to paranormal romance . . . Intriguing.” —Kirkus Reviews

Dying In the Twilight of Summer by Seth O'Connell Pdf

Dying in the Twilight of Summer tells a story about the fictional town of Great Pines. It is a story about lost innocence and the challenges of life in a small town. Great Pines could easily be any number of the small towns that continue to vanish in what remains of the once rugged American West. The story is told through the eyes of four young men growing up in a town that is losing its culture. The boys are unable to stop the hands of time that only seem to bring more hardships and crush their youthful dreams. Dying in the Twilight of Summer offers something to readers of all ages. The themes of friendship and ambition are entirely American, and the difficulties in coming of age and defining of one's self are timeless reflections that every free spirit has faced and typically never solved. Author Seth O'Connell gives readers a glimpse into the obscure and uncomfortable time between youthful idealism and adult realism. O'Connell's writing exposes emotional self-conflicts with straight-forward, poignant prose. The story may not change your life, but it may change the way you think.

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer Pdf

In the explosive finale to the epic romantic saga, Bella has one final choice to make. Should she stay mortal and strengthen her connection to the werewolves, or leave it all behind to become a vampire? When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. This astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic. It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view. "People do not want to just read Meyer's books; they want to climb inside them and live there." -- Time "A literary phenomenon." -- The New York Times

Twilight Rising, Serpent's Dream by Diana Marcellas Pdf

The young shari'a witch Brierley once thought that she was the last of her kind, powerful witches who lived in peace and harmony, using their powers for good. Only the women of her people had the gift and they ruled wisely and well. Her people had flourished for millennia, guided by the elemental beings who embodied the very forces of nature and who could tame the world. But then the fierce Allemani people came from beyond the sea. Newly settled in the land, they at first dwelt in peace with the shari'a. But trust turned to hate and the fear that the Allemani had for the witches soon boiled over into genocide. The Allemani decimated the shari'a out of fear of their differences. And so Briarly hid in the shadows, keeping her healing powers a secret-but she was compelled to use them when necessary, and these actions caused her to be discovered. When she was forced to flee the only home she had ever known, she did not go alone, for she had captured the heart Duke Melfallan, and though he is Allemani, he vows to attempt to change the Law condemning any shari'a to death because he has come to know that the shari'a are not monsters...and they can bring a great joy to the world. As she makes her way out into the world to hide while Melfallan fights to save her, Brierley discovers that she is not the last of her kind. That there are many, like her, who managed to stay in the shadows, generations of shari'a who have kept quiet, hid their powers and have waited. And that not all of whom share Brierley's good heart. The time of reckoning is at hand, the forces that the shari'a once controlled are being summoned once more, and Brierley finds that the hatred that fueled the Allemani ages past is still very much alive. Will Brierley have to sacrifice her life (and that of her unborn child) to save an entire world and make things right for her people?

Twilight by Julia Frankau Pdf

"Twilight" is my swan song. I shall never write another novel. A year ago I fell into a consumption chiefly treated by morphia. I knew my De Quincey pretty well; perhaps this game me this idea of writing my dreams. "Twilight" was written between 11 and 1 at night, after the second and before the third half-grain injection of morphia. Perhaps it is morbid; perhaps, being a genuine personal experience, it is only interesting. All my life has been happy, successful; the end has become hard and unexpected. Night and day I wish it were over, but it lags. The only thing that vexes me in dying is the thought that my book was not brought out in time for me to read the notices. The extraordinary fluctuations of the effects of the drug seem to absorb my consciousness. I cannot write it, though I had projected an essay called "Drug Dreams." I have twitchings in my hands which prohibit holding a pen or pencil. I am told these are entirely due to morphia and omnipom. I have never been able to dictate essays or stories; thought has always seemed to flow through the pen.

Matters of the Moment by Tanure Ojaide Pdf

Journalist Dede Daro returns from the United States, where he had taken a graduate degree at one of the universities. Dede's return is the buzz of Warri, with the elders proclaiming they had expected him to go far. In contrast to Dede's triumphant return, Franka, who experienced some dire deprivations in early life, and whose sense of judgement seems to have been marred by the blight of poverty, makes questionable decisions. Her marriage to Dede ended in a bitter divorce, and while Dede meets another woman, Furu, with whom he was to know some kind of plenitude of his spirit, Franka descends from one fruitless relationship to another until she ends up in the bed of General Ogiso, the semi-literate and murderous military president of the country.
