Gideon by Jacquelyn Frank
From Booklist
With the resurgence of necromancers, human magic-users bent on
destroying the Nightwalker races, Gideon, the oldest Demon, has
returned from self-exile to reclaim his place among his people. More
difficult, though, is repairing his relationship with Legna, who felt
betrayed by his rejection almost a decade ago. Fate steps in, and the
two find themselves Imprinted, linked in body and mind, and struggling
to adjust to their new relationship as the necromancer threat deepens
and their people need the couple most. The second in Frank's
captivating series (after Jacob: The Nightwalkers,
2006) takes us further into the brewing war between Nightwalkers and
necromancers. Patience may be required at the outset, as Frank provides
a lot of backstory. But Gideon offers a remarkable twist on the
lore of creatures of the night in a lush narrative sure to please
readers who have longed for new gothic and darkly romantic tales. Nina Davis (Amazon.Com) Pdf Created Especially For EnglishTips.Org

No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy Book Description
Set in our own time along the bloody frontier between Texas and Mexico, this is Cormac McCarthy’s first novel since Cities of the Plain completed his acclaimed, best-selling Border Trilogy.
Llewelyn
Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot
dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Packing the
money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more
men are murdered does a victim’s burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the
carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes how desperately Moss
and his young wife need protection. One party in the failed transaction
hires an ex–Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a
mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to
spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches up and down and
across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what
one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his
life?
A harrowing story of a war that society is waging on
itself, and an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and
duty that inform lives and shape destinies, No Country for Old Men is a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.
