Omens: A Cainsville Novel by Kelley Armstrong. $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong introduces a chilling new world
Kelley Armstrong has been a dominant presence on the New York Times bestseller lists for more than a decade. And while her devoted fans flock to each new book, the Cainsville series is sure to attract an even broader readership. In Omens, Olivia Taylor-Jones is shattered to learn that she’s adopted. Her biological parents? Notorious serial killers. On a quest to learn more about her past, Olivia lands in the small town of Cainsville, Illinois. As she draws on long-hidden abilities, Olivia begins to realize that there are dark secrets in Cainsville—and powers lurking in the shadows.
PW writes “On the run from reporters, she makes her way to Cainsville, Ill., an isolated and peculiar small town decorated—or perhaps protected—by numerous gargoyles and populated by inhabitants among whom Olivia’s blossoming visions are not extraordinary. Gabriel Walsh, the former lawyer for Pamela Larsen, hunts down Olivia with a business proposition and offers to prepare her to visit Pamela in prison. His commanding presence exudes danger and intrigue, and he and Olivia become enmeshed in a harrowing investigation that may prove the Larsens’ innocence. The fantasy elements take a backseat to the mystery, and by book’s end little is known about the world Armstrong is constructing”

The American Revolution: A History (Modern Library Chronicles) by Gordon S. Wood. $
From the Jacket Copy:
A magnificent account of the revolution in arms and consciousness that gave birth to the American republic.
When Abraham Lincoln sought to define the significance of the United States, he naturally looked back to the American Revolution. He knew that the Revolution not only had legally created the United States, but also had produced all of the great hopes and values of the American people. Our noblest ideals and aspirations-our commitments to freedom, constitutionalism, the well-being of ordinary people, and equality-came out of the Revolutionary era. Lincoln saw as well that the Revolution had convinced Americans that they were a special people with a special destiny to lead the world toward liberty. The Revolution, in short, gave birth to whatever sense of nationhood and national purpose Americans have had.
No doubt the story is a dramatic one: Thirteen insignificant colonies three thousand miles from the centers of Western civilization fought off British rule to become, in fewer than three decades, a huge, sprawling, rambunctious republic of nearly four million citizens. But the history of the American Revolution, like the history of the nation as a whole, ought not to be viewed simply as a story of right and wrong from which moral lessons are to be drawn. It is a complicated and at times ironic story that needs to be explained and understood, not blindly celebrated or condemned. How did this great revolution come about? What was its character? What were its consequences? These are the questions this short history seeks to answer. That it succeeds in such a profound and enthralling way is a tribute to Gordon Wood’s mastery of his subject, and of the historian’s craft.

I’m a big fan of Kelley Armstrong, too, yet I was still surprised how much I liked Omens. It had a nice slow burn to the mystery that drew me in.
None of the BN links are working….
@Sandra: Thanks. I’ll look into that. Not sure what happened today.
Hot Alpha Seals, I’m in! I’ve read 4 of the books in that megaset and they were awesome!

I cannot wait to read Hot Aloha Seals, particularly Sabrina York’s story! Hoorah
everyone… go and buy Hot Alpha Seals *right the frick now* I started w/ Teresa’s story, Breaking Ties, b/c of Jane’s mention (I had preordered the set b/c of a mention on another blog and for 0.99 it was impossible to pass up) and it brought me to tears. I’ve been moved to tears only about 2 or 3 times before by a book and I’ve read hundreds. This is my lame attempt to tell you all how awesomely amazing and emotional that story was. It was a perfect novella… and now I have to stop and take a breath and I’m so excited to get started on the other stories. I’m going to splurge on the rest of Teresa’s seal series and I’m not planning on coming back up for air until I’ve glommed them all. :)
