'Jonah's Luck' is a mystery novel written by Fergus Hume. It revolves around a man named Herries, who sees himself as having the same bad luck as the Biblical figure Jonah. He had always been Jonah the unlucky, and Jonah he would remain, so far as his limited vision could see, until the end of his life, in his eyes. Throughout five and twenty years of existence he had suffered nothing but trouble. Everything went wrong with him. This new disaster was all of a piece with the rest of the pattern, that was being woven,--against his will, it would seem--on the looms of life. He wondered, with a sigh, why God permitted so many troubles to befall him, since he could see no good reason for their coming to him so persistently. Then out of sheer desire to do something, he searched his pockets for the remains of his poor fortune.

The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett Pdf
A whip-smart and “fast-paced mystery” (The Daily Telegraph, London) from the internationally bestselling author of The Twyford Code and The Appeal about a true crime journalist who revives a long-buried case about a cult—and finds herself too close to the story. Everyone knows the story of the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl into believing her baby was the anti-Christ. When the girl came to her senses and called the police, the Angels committed suicide and mother and baby disappeared. Now, true crime author Amanda Bailey is looking to revive her career by writing a book on the case. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen; finding them will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and also on the baby’s trail. As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realize that the truth about the Angels is much darker and stranger than they’d ever imagined, and in pursuit of the story they risk becoming part of it.
Jonah and Katherine come face to face with Albert Einstein in the fifth book of the New York Times bestselling The Missing series. Jonah and Katherine are accustomed to traveling through time, but when learn they next have to return Albert Einstein’s daughter to history, they think it’s a joke—they’ve only heard of his sons. But it turns out that Albert Einstein really did have a daughter, Lieserl, whose 1902 birth and subsequent disappearance was shrouded in mystery. Lieserl was presumed to have died of scarlet fever as an infant. But when Jonah and Katherine return to the early 1900s to fix history, one of Lieserl’s parents seems to understand entirely too much about time travel and what Jonah and Katherine are doing. It’s not Lieserl’s father, either—it’s her mother, Mileva. And Mileva has no intention of letting her daughter disappear.
Kenzie St. Clair has been trained since childhood to be the ultimate government operative. She performs her missions with uncanny skill, strength, and efficiency. She never fails. However, the price for this efficiency is that she has also been trained to suppress all emotion. As a result, there is no skill beyond Kenzie, except for the ability to have and express feelings. Jeff Dwyer is a widower with five sons. He is a multibillionaire and the owner of the corporations Dwyer Industries and Sentry Technology. He runs this corporation as a cover for his other company, Global Relief, which secretly assists victims of natural disasters. Since the death of his wife over ten years ago, his entire life has been dedicated to his work. By pure chance, one of Kenzies missions brings her to the heart of Global Relief where she and Jeff meet. Encountering Jeff stirs up feelings in Kenzie that she cannot understand or even identify. Jeffs feelings for Kenzie are instant and obvious, but he is unsure how to proceed with someone like Kenzie. While Jeff and Kenzie learn to trust each other, and learn just how far their feelings for each other can go, they also have yet to learn that they have a common enemy. Cam Rowan is wealthy, powerful, and ruthless. He uses money and people to achieve his goals. Although he has dealt with Kenzie before, and would not hesitate to eliminate her if she gets in his way, his target right now is Global Relief. Kenzie must now protect the lives of both herself and the Dwyers, while at the same time she faces a struggle within her own mind that could make her choose between her career as an operative and a possible future with a family.
At thirteen, Jonah wished he was like all the other kids, worrying about pimples or spilt milk on his shirt during lunch. But he had a much worse problem . . . God, I hate this, he would mumble to himself, looking up at the ceiling. I know this is just whining, but come on, why me? What is the purpose of me being this? If there were more like me, I could understand, but just me? Why, God, why does it have to hurt so much? Why every time? Maybe just once, just once, God, maybe I could black out or something, please? I could understand if something good came out of this, but come on. This just bites. And then, he did the one thing he dreaded more than anything else in his lifehe became a monster, a werewolf . . .
Named a best book of the year by Entertainment Weekly, Time, and The Chicago Tribune, and named a notable book by The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post “Remarkable . . . With this book [Wolitzer] has surpassed herself.”—The New York Times Book Review "A victory . . . The Interestings secures Wolitzer's place among the best novelists of her generation. . . . She's every bit as literary as Franzen or Eugenides. But the very human moments in her work hit you harder than the big ideas. This isn't women's fiction. It's everyone's."—Entertainment Weekly (A) From Meg Wolitzer, the New York Times–bestselling author of The Female Persuasion, a novel that has been called "genius" (The Chicago Tribune), “wonderful” (Vanity Fair), "ambitious" (San Francisco Chronicle), and a “page-turner” (Cosmopolitan). The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. Decades later the bond remains powerful, but so much else has changed. In The Interestings, Wolitzer follows these characters from the height of youth through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge. The kind of creativity that is rewarded at age fifteen is not always enough to propel someone through life at age thirty; not everyone can sustain, in adulthood, what seemed so special in adolescence. Jules Jacobson, an aspiring comic actress, eventually resigns herself to a more practical occupation and lifestyle. Her friend Jonah, a gifted musician, stops playing the guitar and becomes an engineer. But Ethan and Ash, Jules’s now-married best friends, become shockingly successful—true to their initial artistic dreams, with the wealth and access that allow those dreams to keep expanding. The friendships endure and even prosper, but also underscore the differences in their fates, in what their talents have become and the shapes their lives have taken. Wide in scope, ambitious, and populated by complex characters who come together and apart in a changing New York City, The Interestings explores the meaning of talent; the nature of envy; the roles of class, art, money, and power; and how all of it can shift and tilt precipitously over the course of a friendship and a life.
Jonah has witnessed the unthinkable. The world has changed, and the new threats aren’t just ethereal. It’s no longer just about having the right spiritual powers, the right armaments, or the right allies. Just like before, when Jonah thought he had the Eleventh Percent figured out, just when he thought he had all the answers, he learned once again that he had no idea. Now, Jonah Rowe faces his most challenging trial yet. His faith will be tested, and his beliefs challenged. And in the end, he'll find himself asking the question: is it the world that is different, or just him? Gaslighter is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.

Mickey Price: Journey to Oblivion by John P. Stanley Pdf
The moon is under threat of a nuclear meltdown due to a space station malfunction. Complicating things is the presence of pleurinium, a magnetic material that makes humans instantly, seriously ill--well, all humans who are 14 years old and up. Mickey Price is an orphan in Orlando; Trace Daniels is a go-kart champion in Nevada; Jonah Jones is a budding scientist in Illinois. They don't know each other, but they are all being watched and studied by men in white shirts, thin black ties, and distinctive gold-colored sunglasses. The three kids are invited to a NASA camp, but this camp isn't for summer fun. It's a training camp for a mission full of dangers that will test each of them to the maximum, but it's also an adventure full of thrills, fun, and some unexpected companions, not all of whom are human.
In a time of castles, dungeon masters and wizardry, rising from the ashes of a war-torn kingdom, ravaged by a ferocious and unrelenting dragon, a prince mourning the loss of his younger brother, desperate for revenge, is sent on a quest to hunt and destroy that very beast. So they set out to find a weapon, with the help from a foul-smelling but all-seeing hag (the only one who knows the location of the magic weapon needed to vanquish the beast), and the King’s newly-appointed and strong-willed, female head-guard. (A fact Jonah still couldn’t quite get his head around.) The Prince promises his father that they will succeed, before making the perilous journey across treacherous wastelands, unforgiving landscapes, and creatures that would make your nightmare feel like a daydream, before finally reaching their destination, ‘The Mountain of Fire’. Once there, amidst the unforgiving heat and relentless ash, with the dragon and his mountain leering above them, they finally partake in the battle of their lives.
