★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'Bella Forrest and Cassandra Clare fans can get ready for their most addicting read yet!'

From International Bestselling author Ashley C. Harris.

When Rose was born in the year 1544, she and the other gargoyles were a beautiful race of humans with dragon's wings. Created by magic, the gargoyles were able to do and take whatever they wanted... Until the vampires came, and with them, they brought a curse.

Almost five hundred years later, Rose awakens from stone in Washington DC, to a world that's very much changed. The kingdom of the gargoyles is no more; instead, the same group of blood suckers that cursed Rose's family now rule a hierarchy of shades and shadows.

Desperate

    My initial response once I read the first third of the book was that I am really going to enjoy it. I thought that because it has a very strong plot which makes it very interesting for me to read. I like how the author gets right to the point, but still makes you think about what is going on in the novel. Another thing that made me think it will be a good book is that it is very realistic so I can relate to what’s happening and really understand the things going on.…

    Poverty is a huge issue all around the world. Millions of people make little income and therefore cannot care for their families or even themselves. People living in poverty are often stereotyped, humiliated, and embarrassed when faced against the society in which they live in. One woman fought to overcome poverty and gain an education to support her family and to do something nobody in her family had ever achieved before. In her article “Overcoming the Silence of Generational Poverty,” Donna Beegle effectively argues that generational poverty impedes social and educational improvement by incorporating a purpose that sheds new light on a stereotype, uses strong logical appeals, and establishes her credibility through ethos, pathos, and logos.…

    The Dred Scott case was a landmark case that sparked uproar from state officials after Chief Justice Taney gave the majority opinion of the court. Dred Scott was a slave owned by an army surgeon, Dr. John Emerson, with whom Scott traveled to the free state of Illinois. Following a two and a half year stay in Illinois, Scott and his master moved to Wisconsin, also a free state. However, Scott’s extended stay in Illinois gave him the power to make a legal standing to request his freedom, however Scott never followed through possibly due to his ignorance of the statute. After Emerson’s death, Scott was hired out to an army captain, which then prompted Scott to request his freedom. In June of 1847, Dred Scott went to trial in order to legally win…

    The first and most famous of the "mysterious" deaths was that of Lord Carnarvon. He had been bitten by a mosquito, and later slashed the bite accidentally while shaving. It became infected and blood poisoning resulted. Recent laboratory studies have revealed that some ancient mummies do indeed carry mold, including at least two potentially dangerous species—Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. These molds can cause allergic reactions ranging from congestion to bleeding in the lungs. The toxins can be particularly harmful for people with weakened immune systems ("Lord Carnarvon’s death," 1923, p. 25).…

    I don’t know what it is – but each and every book strikes me to the core. Ever since Shadow Kiss, the third Vampire Academy novel, I’ve been obsessed with her style. Her characters are always so original and multidimensional – they are never the same. Rose Hathaway, Sydney Sage, Mae Koskinen, and now Fei. All of them have their own quirks, ticks, and overall demeanor. Fei is calm, levelheaded, and an artist. But, she also isn’t afraid to be adventurous – say, like scaling down the mountain to bring food back to her family. Fei is tough and willing to stand up for what she believes in, but she is also vulnerable, terrified, and unsure of how her actions will affect the village as a whole. She had a compelling voice, especially when she begins to regain her…

    Mummy's Curse

    As a young girl living in Pennsylvania, I can remember first hearing about the famous Pharaoh King Tutankhamen. This was during the time when an exhibit, known as the Treasures of Tutankhamen, traveled the United States. Along with all the stories about the beautiful treasures from the tomb, were also the stories of King Tut’s curse, which traveled like wildfire among my young friends and I. Late night sleepovers were a fun, but often scary time when we turned the lights out and told scary stories about ghosts and mummies. It was also about that time that Steve Martin wrote and performed the famous song about King Tut. Everyone I knew was doing the Egyptian dance and Egyptian jewelry was all the rage.…
