Aunt Willa summons me home to Thornhollow with a cryptic message about using my 'gift' to stop a family curse and save the town. Hours later, she's dead and Mama swears she heard her arguing with someone before it happened.
When I arrive, my clumsiness brings about a near-death experience, and suddenly, I'm seeing and hearing ghosts everywhere. Even Aunt Willa's cat is talking to me.
Uncovering the truth behind the family curse is hard enough, but my gift makes me a target for an angry ghost who's trying to ruin the biggest event Thornhollow has ever seen...and she'll stop at nothing to do it.
I'm convinced my aunt's death was no accident, and if I don't acknowledge the fact ghosts are real and I can commune with them, I may never discover who murdered her...or stop the deadly poltergeist now haunting me.
First in a new series by Nyx Halliwell Don't miss out on Ava's adventures as she returns to her small hometown of Thornhollow, Georgia, where mystery, murder, romance, and a little bit of down home Southern cooking are always on tap.
Описание: Hailed as magisterial when it first appeared, Greek Homosexuality remains an academic milestone and continues to be of major importance for students and scholars of gender studies. Kenneth Dover explores the understanding of homosexuality in ancient Greece, examining a vast array of material and textual evidence that leads him to provocative conclusions. This new release of the 1989 second edition, for which Dover wrote an epilogue reflecting on the impact of his book, includes two specially commissioned forewords assessing the author’s legacy and the place of his text within modern studies of gender in the ancient world.
When a rival wedding planner is murdered with one of Ava's bridal shoes at the Hearts Forever Fair, she'll need everyone's help-including an angry ghost with a tragic past-to help her prove her innocence and bring the culprit to justice.
The Hearts Forever Bridal Fair is the biggest wedding event in Georgia, making it the perfect time to unveil my new gown designs. It's also my chance to take Aunt Willa's business to the next level. The hotel hosting it may be haunted, but not even the spirits who require my assistance will keep me from achieving my goal.
A group of conspirators just might, though, especially after my biggest competitor ends up with a bridal shoe's stiletto lodged in his throat. When our antagonistic past becomes a hot topic, and my fingerprints all over the murder weapon, I'll need my guardian angel, cantankerous cat, and an eccentric ghostly detective, to help prove my innocence.

Описание: This book is about what happened to a young 17 year old when Japan attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor. What was he to do, go on to college, get a job, continue with a normal life? No That would have to wait. Two years later, a newly assigned B-24 bomber needed a name. "Nightmare" was offered up to its crew by me, now its co-pilot, as the name would relative to what was to come. The name did relate to what was to come, but it actually was the result of a nightmare I had after viewing a newscast at the start of World War II. It showed a Japanese soldier tossing a baby up in the air and then with a grin catching it on the way down with his rifle's bayonet. This was intended to incite rage in the population. It did The rage and disgust could not be exaggerated. It lingered and still does. Nevertheless, Nightmare went on to be assigned to the 459th Bomb Group of the 15th U.S. Airforce. The book includes descriptive diaries of bombing missions over Nazi Germany, Southern France and the WWII occupied Balkans, some as written by crews in our adjoining flight squadrons. Also included are photos of bomb run casualties, some planes engulfed in flames from ruptured gas tanks, some crews escaping in parachutes, some of these on fire, some planes in stages of disintegrating from being hit by exploding anti-aircraft shells. One of these did penetrate our own pilot's compartment wounding me and exploding as it passed through the roof. Halfway through our 50 mission tour of duty, it was realized that our losses, in term of planes shot down, were about 50% of the original assignment of bombers. Some crews were quitting, turning in their "Flight Wings". Those that stayed did so with quiet resolve, comradery, frightened, relying on faith. In the very beginning, of course it was all heroics, a young Army Airforce Lieutenant with pilot wings, and a snappy grey-green uniform. Aerobatics and fighter plane training made us feel invincible. After about six weeks of our bomb group training, the 459th departed Westover Field, Massachusetts for solo routing to stop overs in Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Belem Brazil, Dakar Africa and finally to a home base make-do landing field in Cerignola, Italy. Next came the missions, every other day, sometimes every day. The author is a prime participant, the bomber's co-pilot, twice wounded
