    Calcutta is the central character in each of the three stories in this book. As all Bengalis will tell you, even when the city stands quietly in the corner, not saying a word, her presence may be deeply felt by those close to her. The House and Other Stories is also about the many persons we encounter in the everyday. These are the people we pass by without a second thought. Who are these people? What stories lie locked up in each of them? Will they ever be told? Like magic, one question leads to another and soon, they no longer appear anonymous; they come alive. It is as if an entirely new world has been conjured before our eyes. And we are enchanted by the stories that have lain hidden from us for so long. Even if the stories emerge at times from the realm of the dead.

Elliot O'Donnell explores the terrifying Banshee-equivalents of cultures around the world-- from the Highland Castles of Scotland to the seaside villages of Italy-- and his tales of these creatures make the Irish Banshee look like nothing more than a cherubic Christmas-caroler.

    All Reagan Whelan wants is to live a normal life, graduate highschool and go to college like most 18 year olds. But the sudden tragic death of both of her parents makes that hard to do.  
    Grieving for her parents and insecure about her future, she is moved across the world to a new country with part of her family that she has never met. But when she arrives she learns that everything she thought her life was before is a lie. She isn't just an 18 year old girl getting ready to start her adult life, she is an over 600 year old Nephilim whose memories were altered to create the illusion of being a typical American child after her parents left the family business for a new start. 
    Angry and feeling betrayed, with the help of her grandfather and his handsome, young chief of security Aiden Kennedy, Reagan begins to dig into her family history only to find out that she is not just any angelic descendant, she is the offspring of two angelic lines one good and one evil who are currently at war with each other for control over the fate of humanity. How does she decide which side to take? Who is telling her the truth? 
    Hidden Angel is an exhilarating beginning story of Reagan Whalen by Bronwyn Aisling. If you enjoy following the journey of a female heroine coming into her own, this is for you.
