Crime Prison Island

After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Prétendre être un Patron du Crime Intouchable

Un simple jour s'est transformé en un malentendu qui a changé la vie de Jacques Bellini à jamais et l'a envoyé sur un chemin emprunté uniquement par ceux qui définissent l'ère de la mafia. Un chemin jonché de cadavres, avec du sang peignant les routes où il a marché... avec un rebondissement... il ne fait que semblant. Il était au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment, et de nulle part, il est devenu le Don de la famille Bellini, la figure redoutée du monde souterrain qui règne sur tout le monde. Une position qui met à l'épreuve sa santé mentale, sa moralité, et le dernier lambeau d'humanité qui lui reste... et peut-être, juste peut-être, que le chemin à venir transformera ce jeu d'acteur, cette prétention, en quelque chose de sombre... quelque chose qui le poussera vers l'abîme, où tout ce qu'il trouve est la mort.

“In American icon John Grisham’s new novel, Camino Winds, an odd assortment of mystery and crime authors, some of them felons themselves, discover one of their colleagues has been murdered during the fury of a massive hurricane—the perfect crime scene. Since officials are preoccupied with the aftermath of the storm, the authors set out to solve the mystery themselves, in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.” —Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

Okay! This novel is a banger from the first chapter! No lies here. Pacing is good. Like a hard cover novel. I'm no professional, but I've been reading Ken Follet, John Grisham and Karen Rose for years. If you know them, then you'll know. I'm already at the fourth chapter. Yes I haven't read much yet but I can't help but to leave a review now. It's that good! My advice....? READ IT NOW!
