Summary

Caroline is about to go psychotic—and given her family, it’s no surprise. Joseph cannot talk to women even if he is a certified high-IQ clever dick trying to take snapshots of the end of the universe. Ray and Marj have their own hassles with in‑laws, but student terrorists get in the way. Meanwhile, Brian, misogynist and wit, appalls everyone in the quipu world. Quipus? They are the scandalous fanzines that hikes traded before blogs were invented. Hikes? High-IQ clever dicks, of course. In Quipu, Australian writer Damien Broderick reimagines his prize‑winning 1984 novel Transmitters as the surprising saga of a “family” of genius‑level, one‑of‑a‑kind individuals.
Available since: 05/27/2014.

    Jamie Bennett knew that warrior angel Ambrose Griffin was hers from the moment she learned that the things that go bump in the night are real. She, along with her friends, was forever changed the night the lightning struck and altered her fate. But what she doesn’t know is that while Ambrose might be hers, she’s missing someone else. 
    Ambrose always holds himself back because he can’t afford to lose anyone else. He’s lived and lost lifetimes over as he’s fought for his people, and though he knows that Jamie could be his if he takes that risk, there’s something missing. Or, more accurately, someone. 
    When Jamie is kidnapped and sent to hell, Ambrose will not only risk a war between the realms to find her, he’ll find his heart in the process—in Jamie and Bailin. When Bailin, a demon from hell, meets the two people who could fill his heart and his soul, he’ll need to fight for something he hasn’t felt in over a century—hope.

    If love was what made the Earth go round, then it was about to freeze on its axis.  
    Worldwide, true love was dwindling more and more every single year. 
    Now it’s at an all time low.  
    Few people knew the repercussions of love being created or, more importantly, of love being lost.

    It was her job to ensure matches were made and love achieved. 
    The problem is fairy godmothers aren’t what they used to be, and it’s creating a domino effect across the globe. 
    Paris Beaufont isn’t your typical fairy godmother and that’s exactly what Happily Ever After College needs to bring more lovers together.  
    Can Paris help fairy godmothers to evolve in the modern world—making love blossom, rather than wilt and fade away before it’s too late?
