"Karen's breath caught as she saw Frank standing over a crumpled body, a smoking pistol in his hand. "Y-you've killed him!" she cried, backing away in horror. Panicking, she raced to the Fire Exit door, suddenly terrified of this man she had married. "Karen! Wait!" he called to her. She ran down the stairs but then stopped midway, sickened with fear. Crouching against the cold walls she listened for footsteps. Nothing! Had her husband gone to a lower floor to meet her there and kill her? Or was he waiting for her at the top, a deadly gun in his hand.?" Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall.., Mystique Books. (#54)., 1979, 3, Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd, 07/11/1997. Hardcover.

Editorial Reviews Product Description Christine Feehan has worked magic on a legion of fans with her darkly thril ling Carpathian tales. Now she delivers the provocative story of a female v ampire slayer who proves as seductive-and mysterious-as the night dwellers she stalks... For as long as she can remember, Natalya has been fighting demons: first in the form of childhood nightmares, then later, immortal creatures that kill and prey on the innocent-including her own twin brother. Whether Carpathia n or vampire, she slays those who murder by night, and has no equal-until s he is seduced by the very thing she considers her enemy... A Carpathian who has seen nearly everything in his endless existence, Vikirnoff doesn't think he can be surprised anymore-until he faces a woman who rivals him as a vampire hunter. A formidable and gifted warrior in her own right, Natalya has a nature that is strangely familiar-yet alien-to his own. Who is this mysterious female who fears no one-not even him? Natalya could be the key to the survival of the Carpathians, but all Vikirnoff is certain of is that she is the key to his heart and soul., Jove, 2006, 3, US: Tuttle Publishing, 2013. Hardback.

US: Yearling, 2011. Paperback. Very Good. The Red Umbrella is a moving tale of a 14-year-old girl's journey from Cuba to America as part of Operation Pedro Pan--an organized exodus of more tha n 14,000 unaccompanied children, whose parents sent them away to escape Fid el Castro's revolution. In 1961, two years after the Communist revolution, Lucía Álvarez still lead s a carefree life, dreaming of parties and her first crush. But when the so ldiers come to her sleepy Cuban town, everything begins to change. Freedoms are stripped away. Neighbors disappear. And soon, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States--on their own. Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía strugg les to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she ever see her home or her parents again? And if sh e does, will she still be the same girl? The Red Umbrella is a touching story of country, culture, family, and the t rue meaning of home. "Captures the fervor, uncertainty and fear of the times. . . . Compelling." -The Washington Post "Gonzalez deals effectively with separation, culture shock, homesickness, uncertainty and identity as she captures what is also a grand adventure." -San Francisco Chronicle., Yearling, 2011, 3, New York, N.Y.: Avon, 2005. As New. Being the eldest granddaughter of SoCal's biggest crime boss isn't as glamo rous as it's cracked up to be. Ever since her father disappeared, presumed murdered, when she was 12, Téa Caruso has kept as far from her crooked fami ly as she can. Now trying to eke out a living as an interior designer in hi ghly competitive Palm Springs, Téa is on a mission to gain some professiona l recognition by landing the business of Vegas high-roller Johnny Magee, wh o has just bought a house in the area. Red-hot attraction lands Téa in John ny's bed, and Téa begins to wonder if she's finally met a man she can trust with her heart. But Johnny has two secrets: he hired Téa because of her mo b ties, and his own father was rumored to have killed hers. Genuinely funny moments catapult the reader toward this romance's engaging end, but it's t he touching subplot about a retired mobster's goth daughter and the vulnera ble but strong main characters that give this suspenseful romp a deeper spi n. Ridgway (The Thrill of It All) leaves enough loose ends dangling to swin g one of Téa's sisters into her own sequel, and readers who enjoyed this so lidly written tale will certainly return for the continuing drama., Avon, 2005, 5, New York: Zebra.
