Captain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min

From, Lauren Rowe, the USA Today best-selling author of The Club Series and Ball Peen Hammer comes a sexy standalone romance: Captain. It wasn't the way this kind of story was supposed to go...insta-love isn't supposed to turn into insta-hate. But that's exactly what happened when the hot-as-hell dreamboat I met in a bar turned out to be a lying, cheating scumbag-player-douche looking for nothing but a little side action. Jerk. And he has the nerve to call me a liar and a "sociopath"? Asshole. And now, three months later, through a mind-blowing series of events I couldn't have predicted in a million years, it turns out my boss is marrying his sister in Hawaii and I've got to play nice with him for an entire freaking week. Okay, sure, I'll put on a happy face this week and act like I've never even met the jerk before - did I mention his sister is marrying my boss? - but that doesn't mean I'll like it. And it certainly doesn't mean I'll stop secretly hating the cocky bastard's guts. Because I do. I hate him. I really do. I just wish my brain would explain the situation to my body...because every time he flashes that panty-melting smile at me, it takes all my self-restraint not to jump the bastard's hot-as-f--k bones. For fans of Ball Peen Hammer and The Club Series, please note Captain features Ryan Morgan and takes place one year before the events of Ball Peen Hammer. It also includes characters from both Ball Peen Hammer and The Club Series, though Captain is a complete standalone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lauren Rowe, John Lane.

Kill the Messenger, Hörbuch, Digital, 274min

At the end of a long day battling street traffic, bike messenger Jace Damon has one last drop to make. But en route to delivering a package for one of L.A.'s sleaziest defense attorneys, he's nearly run down by a car, chased through back alleys, and shot at. Only the instincts acquired while growing up on the streets of L.A. allow him to escape with his life, and with the package someone wants badly enough to kill for. Jace returns to Lenny Lowell's office only to find the cops there, the lawyer dead, and Jace himself considered the prime suspect in the savage murder. Suddenly he's on the run from both the cops and a killer, and the key to saving himself and his 10-year-old brother is the envelope he still has, which holds a message no one wants delivered: the truth. In a city fueled by money, celebrity, and sensationalism, the murder of a bottom-feeding mouthpiece like Lenny Lowell won't make the headlines. So when detectives from the LAPD's elite robbery/homicide division show up, homicide detective Kev Parker wants to know why. Robbery/Homicide has no reason to be looking at a dead small-time scumbag lawyer or chasing a bike messenger...unless there's something in it for them. Maybe Lenny Lowell had a connection to something big enough to be killed for. Parker begins a search for answers that will lead him to a killer, or the end of his career. Because if there's one lesson he's learned over the years, it's that in a town built on fantasy and fame, delivering the truth can be deadly. Language: English. Narrator: Erik Davies.

Memes: In Digital Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min

In December 2012, the exuberant video "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube clip to be viewed more than one billion times. Thousands of its viewers responded by creating and posting their own variations of the video - "Mitt Romney Style", "NASA Johnson Style", "Egyptian Style", and many others. "Gangnam Style" (and its attendant parodies, imitations, and derivations) is one of the most famous examples of an Internet meme: a piece of digital content that spreads quickly around the web in various iterations and becomes a shared cultural experience. In this audiobook, Limor Shifman investigates Internet memes and what they tell us about digital culture. Shifman discusses a series of well-known Internet memes - including "Leave Britney Alone", the pepper-spraying cop, LOLCats, Scumbag Steve, and Occupy Wall Street's "We Are the 99 Percent". She offers a novel definition of Internet memes: digital content units with common characteristics, created with awareness of each other, and circulated, imitated, and transformed via the Internet by many users. She differentiates memes from virals; analyzes what makes memes and virals successful; describes popular meme genres; discusses memes as new modes of political participation in democratic and nondemocratic regimes; and examines memes as agents of globalization. Memes, Shifman argues, encapsulate some of the most fundamental aspects of the Internet in general and of the participatory Web 2.0 culture in particular. Internet memes may be entertaining, but in this book Limor Shifman makes a compelling argument for taking them seriously.

KilikI’ve spent my whole life guarding secrets...but now a warlock crime lord is blackmailing me to protect his own and, not to be cliché, but only the truth can set me free.Well, that or killing the guy, but a bear shifter like me against black magic? Not good odds.Problem is, I’m not even sure I know what telling the truth looks like. You grow up living lies and wearing masks becomes second nature.Next thing you know, you’re partnered with Alex Miller, as sexy as he is courageous, as moral, honest, and downright good as he is bright, competent and with a smile that can turn your worst day into a vacation...and you can’t seem to tell him you’re hopelessly in love with him....I might have gotten off track.Point is, now I’m keeping way more than a crush hidden from my partner, or even just my own shapeshifting. Now I’m covering up murders for this scumbag. Losing evidence. Being an actual accessory to his crimes.And lying to Alex, knowing he can tell.He wants nothing more than to be my confidant. I just wish I know how to let him.AlexI hate secrets. They never lead anywhere good. All they do is keep people ignorant and fumbling around in the dark.That’s why I became a detective, dedicated to finding the truth wherever it was hidden and dragging it into the light. No matter how unpleasant.It's also why I’m so miserable now. Nothing worse than being a hypocrite. Nursing a secret of your own. Being in love with your aggressive, outspoken, fiercely protective - not to mention hot as hell - partner. And not saying a damn word.Worse, I think Kilik can tell. Maybe not that I’m in love with him, but that I’m hiding things. Can’t be trusted. Why else is he suddenly so evasive?Keeping secrets of his own. Lying to me.He should know I’d never do anything to hurt him. But how can I expect him to trust me with his life when I can’t even trust him with my heart? ungekürzt. Language: English.
