Winner, Victorian Society in America Book Awards A colorful tale of a singular New York City neighborhood and the personalities who make it special To outsiders or East Siders, Riverside Park and Riverside Drive may not have the star status of Fifth Avenue or Central Park West. But at the city’s westernmost edge, there is a quiet and beauty like nowhere else in all of New York. There are miles of mansions and monuments, acres of flora, and a breadth of wildlife ranging from Peregrine falcons to goats. It’s where the Gershwins and Babe Ruth once lived, William Randolph Hearst ensconced his paramour, and Amy Schumer owns a penthouse. Told in the uniquely personal voice of a longtime resident, Heaven on the Hudson is the only New York City book that features the history, architecture, and personalities of this often overlooked neighborhood, from the eighteenth century through the present day. Combining an extensively researched history of the area and its people with an engaging one-on-one guide to its sights, author Stephanie Azzarone sheds new light on the initial development of Riverside Park and Riverside Drive, the challenges encountered—from massive boulders to “maniacs”—and the reasons why Riverside Drive never became the “new Fifth Avenue” that promoters anticipated. From grand “country seats” to squatter settlements to multi-million-dollar residences, the book follows the neighborhood’s roller-coaster highs and lows over time. Readers will discover a trove of architectural and recreational highlights and hidden gems, including the Drive’s only freestanding privately owned villa, a tomb that’s not a tomb, and a sweet memorial to an eighteenth-century child. Azzarone also tells the stories behind Riverside’s notable and forgotten residents, including celebrities, murderers, a nineteenth-century female MD who launched the country’s first anti-noise campaign, and an Irish merchant who caused a scandal by living with an Indian princess. While much has been written about Central Park, little has focused exclusively on Riverside Drive and Riverside Park until now. Heaven on the Hudson is dedicated to sharing this West Side neighborhood’s most special secrets, the ones that, without fail, bring both pleasure and peace in a city of more than 8 million.

Описание:
I knew the moment my soul burned.
I knew the moment the Wraith of Fire had touched me.
And now...
Was it really so hard for the Heavens to produce some white light?
But no, not even just a warm glow at the end of some graffitied tunnel and as for Pearly Gates, well they wouldn't be opening for me any time soon
Because I wasn't where I was supposed to be. And I could forget all my jokes about falling into Wonderland and Oz and seeing any of those fuzzy fellas from Narnia, because no amount of wishing that my life was a fairy tale would make it so.
Not when I was caught in this nightmare world. One where I was to be terrorised by its ruler for an eternity.
A tyrant King that wanted a new game to play.
One I had no chance of winning.
Not when it was my heart, that was on the line.

Описание:
So, there were many things I could have done differently.
I could have gone on a cruise and forgot about stealing a killer box from a Vampire King.
I could have shaved my head and become a Tibetan monk.
I could have also lost my virginity to some nice Texas cowboy who wanted to introduce me to his mother.
But instead, I went to Germany and ended up fighting Mercenaries.
I also fell in love with a Vampire King who claimed me as his.
And now I'm in the river, and all because I decided not to just stay home and do my laundry.
No instead... I shot a pilot.

Описание:
The plan had sounded simple, step into Hell and save a Tree.
That was all I had needed to do. However, that plan was becoming more complicated by the minute and that list was growing eternally bigger.
Like, killing demonic Queens.
Removing Claiming Hexes.
Outrunning hungry beasts.
And mainly, trying not to piss off Vampire boyfriends any more than being constantly kidnapped down in Hell is likely to do. And now fate had chosen me to be its blood queen.
Only one fuelled by...
The Roots of Rage.

didn't intend for it to happen this way.
But then again, I never did.
No, it was what others had intended for me that was the problem and this had all started yet again with a witch and a double cross.
We had made it to the portal, only a trip back to Lucius' Kingdom wasn't on the cards. Because now we were to face a new enemy, one with a handsome face, a killer smile and a land full of Dragons
Now we had once again been pushed down the rabbit hole, and this was as far from Wonderland as you can get
For we were not in Kansas Hell anymore.
No, this was the Elemental Realm of Fae and here, there was one ruler who knew I was coming.
In fact...
He was counting on it.

The plan was simple, step into Hell, find some infected roots, try my hand at fixing them, and then it was well done, Amelia, you saved the day
But I didn't bargain on a few factors set against me, the most obvious being that this... well this was Hell.
And in this realm of Hell there were rules, there was a hierarchy, and as for me, I was at the bottom of it. A dangerous place to be, especially when the man at the top was known as a tyrant king.
A heartless, cold and ruthless ruler.
Oh, and one more thing... he just so happened to be my boyfriend.
And he was... furious with me.

Описание:
A 'date' he said. Just one date with a Vampire King who had been hunting me down for months... what could go wrong, right?
One picnic, one witch, an ex-girlfriend out for my blood, and an army of zombie vampire rogues later, and what I had was an 'Alice in Wonderland' style cocktail for disaster
Because this Alice was about to have the mind trip of her life when peeking through the keyhole of Lucius' memories. All before falling down a rabbit hole to Hell, where the bunnies were more likely to stab you with a carrot before eating your soul
But hey, it's not like I had just been dumped in the middle of a Hellish battle with nothing but my wits to survive it,
Oh no, wait... That had happened.
And one other thing that was sure to happen when Lucius finally found me in Hell...
He was going to kill me

Описание:
It's been seven years. Seven long years since that cold and cruel Vampire King, Lucius, broke her heart. Her naive little heart destroyed after one painful night, when she sneaked into his Gothic nightclub, Transfusion. Seven years ago, he humiliated her, casting her aside and telling her just what he thought about her little obsession with him.
Then he saved her life.
Well, now he is back and this time he is out for blood, and all she can hope for is that it isn't hers that's on the menu. Because she is just your typical, ordinary, everyday girl who works and lives in London. Even if she is trying to make it on her own without the safety of her family. However, growing up knowing of the supernatural world and being human definitely has its draw backs. Especially when a certain Vampire King has her in mind for a date, and his dominant and forceful ways are sending her re-ignited obsession with him into overdrive.
But he does like her... doesn't he?
