From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches—look for the hit TV series “A Discovery of Witches,” streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now and Shudder. What does it truly take to become a vampire? On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future.
When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus’s deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.
Fast-forward to contemporary Paris, where Phoebe Taylor–the young employee at Sotheby’s whom Marcus has fallen for–is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. Though the modernized version of the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable than they were in the eighteenth century.
The shadows that Marcus believed he’d escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both–forever. A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities not just for change but for revolution, Time’s Convert, the fourth books in the All Souls Series channels the supernatural world-building and slow-burning romance that made the previous books instant bestsellers to illuminate a new and vital moment in history, and a love affair that will bridge centuries.
This is based on Marcus story after the ending of A Discovery of Witches. I’m not given any spoilers away, however you do find out more about his back story and he met Matthew. All your favourite characters are present and you get to see how life has changed as their lives have become more entwined after the trilogy ended.
A very nice addition, and I really enjoyed reading it. If you love all things ADOW, then I highly recommend purchasing this from Booktopia.
If you enjoyed Deborah Harkness’ A Discovery of Witches, then you’ll love this book too. Parts of it read as though an academic Ph. D. immersed in history and archeology researched and other parts read as though an English professor teaching creative writing wrote it.
Either way, this book is sure to please fans of Deborah Harkness or make new readers of her work fans forever.
I love The Discovery of Witches trilogy and was so excited to learn that the story continues. All our favorite characters are here and we get to continue seeing into their lives. Deborah Harkness is an amazing writer and these are truly some of my favorite character’s.
Fall in love with this small-town love story about a widower sheriff and a divorced schoolteacher who are searching for second chances — only to be threatened by long-held secrets of the past. Miles Ryan’s life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago.
As deputy sheriff of New Bern, North Carolina, he not only grieves for her and worries about their young son Jonah but longs to bring the unknown driver to justice. Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews, Jonah’s second-grade teacher.
A young woman recovering from a difficult divorce, Sarah moved to New Bern hoping to start over. But what neither realizes is that they are also bound together by a shocking secret, one that will force them to reexamine everything they believe in-including their love.
Love Nicholas Sparks books. The twists and turns in the story-line always keep you riveted, and you can relate to the characters feelings. A great winter, snuggle up by the fire & relax with a book, read.
Paul Young, author of the international bestseller, The Shack, tells a story of the incremental transformation of a man caught in the torments of his own creation, somewhere between heaven and earth.
Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU.
He ‘awakens’ to find himself in a surreal world, a ‘living’ landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life, from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to authenticity and perhaps, redemption.
The adventure draws Tony into deep relational entanglements where he is able to ‘see’ through the literal eyes and experiences of others, but is “blind” to the consequences of hiding his personal agenda and loss that emerge to war against the processes of healing and trust.
Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?.
After reading The Shack as a church project, I wanted to read more from this author. I found Cross Roads to be a wonderful book with deep messages about one’s own internal conflicts and how we should thoughtfully resolve them in a biblical way.
The story covers one man’s reflections of his misconceptions of how to handle bad situations and how the way he handled them impacted his life. Life lessons are taught to the main character, as well as the reader, in a light and humorous way.
The story stresses the seriousness of forgiveness and its great effect on one’s soul. I listened to the book on audio cd. The reader did an excellent job with the cast of characters. I hope this book will also be made into a movie.
A twist of fate. A second chance. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mistletoe Promise and The Walk begins a riveting new trilogy that explores the tantalizing question: What if you could start over? Chicago celebrity Charles James can’t shake the nightmare that wakes him each night.
He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway lined in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day, he wonders why he’s so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted—fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him.
Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he’s dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he’s started to wonder if he’s wanted the wrong things. His wealth has come legally, but questionably, from the power of his personality, seducing people out of their hard-earned money.
The cracks in his façade start to break down, spurring him to question everything: his choices, his relationships, his future, and the type of man he’s become. Then a twist of fate changes everything.
Charles is granted something very remarkable: a second chance. The question is: what will he do with it? The Broken Road is an engrossing, contemplative story of redemption and grace and the power of second chances.
Richard Paul Evans is one of my favorite authors. He brings his stories to life. The Broken Road gives you a glimpse of what can happen when your job becomes your life rather than just a way to make a living.
Richard Paul Evans is on his mark once again. How intense! How sensitive! Believable, poignant, and filled with morale decisions. Always look forward to his remarkable ability to let us inside the characters’ heads.
Fifty thoughtful and playful questions about the past, present, and future will inspire great family conversations. Great game to play indoors on a rainy day or when you just want to have some family time.
Bring this portable tin along on your next family road trip, or break the ice at the next family dinner and learn new things about each other. A wide range of intriguing questions about the past, present, and future – a family-friendly party game that leads to interesting conversations.
I have already given two of the games I purchased as hostess gifts and we ended up Playing the games. It was a huge success. Everyone wanted to know where I purchased them. Still have several that I will be using for stocking stuffers at Christmas.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans, the dramatic conclusion in the riveting Broken Road trilogy—a powerful redemption story about finding happiness on a pilgrimage across iconic Route 66.
Chicago celebrity and pitchman Charles James is supposed to be dead. Everyone believes he was killed in a fiery plane crash, a flight he narrowly missed. But thanks to that remarkable twist of fate, he’s very much alive and ready for a second chance at life and love.
Escaping death has brought Charles some clarity: the money, the fame, the expensive cars; none of it brought him true joy or peace. The last time he was truly happy was when he was married to his ex-wife Monica, before their relationship was destroyed by his ambition and greed.
In the exciting and provocative series that began with The Broken Road and The Forgotten Road, Charles is still on his pilgrimage across the iconic Route 66 in The Road Home. He intends to finish his trek from Amarillo to Santa Monica, despite learning that his ex-wife is now planning to marry another man.
With the initial reason for his trip in jeopardy, he still has lessons to learn along the way before he discovers—and arrives at—his true destination.
You can’t go wrong with a Richard Paul Evans book, I’ve read a lot of them and never been disappointed. This book is the last in a trilogy about a man who is in the throws of reexamining his life while walking by choice from Chicago to California.
This particular one in the trilogy brings his quest and walk to an end, ties up loose ends and leaves the reader very satisfied!.
I know this book is fiction, but it is very believable. I like books about real people and the way they deal with the challenges in their lives. This book was a good read!
The third novel in the New York Times bestselling series about an advertising executive who loses everything and embarks on a walk across America: “definitely a journey worth taking” (Booklist). Reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, his home, and his business, Alan Christoffersen, a once-successful advertising executive, left behind everything he knew and set off on an extraordinary cross-country journey.
As he treks the nearly 1,000 miles between South Dakota and St. Louis on foot, it’s the people he meets along the way who give the journey its true meaning: a mysterious woman who follows Alan for nearly a hundred miles, the ghost hunter searching graveyards for his wife, and the elderly Polish man who gives Alan a ride and shares a story that Alan will never forget.
Full of hard-won wisdom and truth, this is a moving stand-alone story as well as the continuation of the unforgettable bestselling Walk series. The Road to Grace is a compelling and inspiring novel about hope, healing, grace, and the meaning of life.
The Walk 5-series books are so wonderful to read – would recommend for any age, male or female. There is a memory and lesson for all to learn or recall.
Can’t say enough about this series. Who is forgiveness really for, the person who trespassed or the person trespassed upon? Alan learns a great lesson here. It’s an awesome series that I can’t put down.

Based on the public television series of the same name, Bradshaw On: The Family is John Bradshaw’s seminal work on the dynamics of families that has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1988.
Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society.
Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps–from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial–and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones.
He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned helps you heal your family. Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live.
He helps you reenvision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect–and improve–your world.
This book will give you the best understanding of how the behaviors in a dysfunctional family are passed from one person to another. You’ll understand how and why the dysfunctional family unit, if broken up, will reform itself where an addict will unconsciously find another codependent, where a codependent will unconsciously find another addict.
Awareness is the beginning of change. This book will get you there like no other. Also see Bradshaw’s video of the same title if you can. These materials are available at most all public libraries. Action empowers and this book is a great starting point.
The author goes deep into origins of toxic shame and offers the ways to work on it, gives very valuable insights into our behavioral problems that are hard to come across in self-help literature. I’m giving it 4 stars because some paragraphs in the beginning are difficult to understand, and because of his praise for AA where it’s common for people to shame each other for their character defects.
Overall, I’m glad I found this book, it’s been very helpful, and I highly recommend it.
This book from “the past” is still an excellent work. I bought it for a friend who is finding the work helpful in moving on from certain issues. Nothing is really new under the sun for family pain and this author hits close to home with healing and wisdom.
