From Afar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
Some rules are destined to be broken. Loneliness. A concept with which Raphael Laurent is very familiar. He's lived a solitary life for 36 years, shunning the excesses of the local vampire clan - until he spots Lord Aleric Vane, the handsome and dissolute third son of a duke. For three years Raphael has watched from a distance, for only when he is near Aleric does the hollow, empty ache in his chest ease. Cut off from his family for refusing to follow his father's dictates, Aleric's nights are filled with vice. But after three years in London, the city has lost all appeal. Desolate and penniless, his future appears bleak. Until a mysterious man drops from the shadows to drive off a trio of murderous thieves. When Aleric awakens, he finds himself forever changed. The itch for more that drove him to London is gone. In its place is the feeling that he's known the beautiful Raphael all his life. But to save Aleric, Raphael had to break the rules, giving him a chance to love the one man he never thought he could have - a chance that could be ripped away by Aleric himself. ungekürzt.

Politics of Murder: The Ransom Walsh Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 251min
The struggle between power and justice: a prostitute, a homeless man, a politician, and murder. The most unlikely of witnesses pull Ransom out of retirement and back to the streets of Las Vegas. The former homicide detective must uncover who’s leaking tips about the case and the murders - his former partner, his girlfriend, a senator? Who can he trust? The killer serves a higher calling. Those sacrificed for the greater good of the people. Some lives are more disposable than others. Their lack of value to society makes them invisible. Ransom sifts through an improbable group of witnesses, victims, and suspects. A strange mixture of water and oil. Individuals never likely to meet. Individuals never likely to find themselves in the same discussion. Their only common ground: murder. Entitlement. Privilege. The self-prescribed political elite. Shunning class and status, Ransom’s only drive is to satisfy the plea of the voiceless victims, no matter where the gavel lands. A life is a life. Ransom squares off against his arrogant foe to bring the killer to justice, to keep him from slipping through his fingers, and to make him answer for his crimes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles (eBook, ePUB)
Tess is little more than an English farm girl when she meets the man who will change her life: Angel Clare. A kind gentleman and the son of a reverend, Angel could be the answer to Tess's miserable fate. But with a family on the brink of destitution, she has no time to wait for true love. When another suitor, Alec, begins to fixate on Tess and word of a rich widow by the name of D'Urberville hints at a hidden family fortune, Tess's life spirals out of control and she is forced to make an impossible choice. A tale of passion, loss, and cruel hardship, 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' is one of Hardy's most famous and beloved novels. It has been adapted for the stage and screen many times, including the hugely popular BBC series written by David Nicholls and starring Gemma Arterton and Eddie Redmayne. Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English writer of poetry, novels, and short stories. He belonged to the Victorian realist tradition and was influenced by the writings of Romanticism. His novels strongly criticise Victorian society for constraining individuals in regard to marriage, education, and religion: shunning happiness in the name of social propriety. Hardy's works explore themes of love, class, and poverty with a painstaking devotion to realism. His best-known works include 'Far From the Madding Crowd', 'The Mayor of Casterbridge', 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles', and 'Jude the Obscure'.- Shop: buecher

How to Escape from Jehovah's Witnesses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 238min
Jehovah's Witnesses number into the millions globally and are well known for their public evangelism about God's kingdom. But beneath the facade of brotherly love and organizational unity lies a captive organization in which doubts are stifled, and dissent is ruthlessly crushed. Once a Witness stops believing, they face being ostracized as a loathed "mentally diseased" apostate. They must navigate a labyrinth of obstacles and dilemmas due to the organization's cruel policy of shunning former members. Lloyd Evans is a well-known ex-Witness writer and activist, and in his second audiobook, he draws on his firsthand, insider knowledge as a former elder to guide would-be escapees through the minefield that awaits them. How should elders be dealt with? What resources are available for objective research? What should someone do if they are threatened with judicial action? What about coming clean to family members? How does someone go about rebuilding their social circle? What precautions should be taken to maintain privacy when browsing apostate material online? All these questions and more are answered in How to Escape from Jehovah's Witnesses, described by Paul Grundy of JWfacts.com as "an invaluable tool in helping [former Witnesses] move on as efficiently and painlessly as possible". ungekürzt.
