Layla by Colleen Hoover.
"When Leeds meets
Layla, he's convinced he'll spend the rest of his life with her - until an
unexpected attack leaves Layla fighting for her life. After weeks in the
hospital, Layla recovers physically, but the emotional and mental scarring has
altered the woman Leeds fell in love with. In order to put their relationship
back on track, Leeds whisks Layla away to the bed-and-breakfast where they
first met. Once they arrive, Layla's behavior takes a bizarre turn. And that's
just one of many inexplicable occurrences. Feeling distant from Layla, Leeds
soon finds solace in Willow - another guest of the B&B with whom he forms a
connection through their shared concerns. As his curiosity for Willow grows,
his decision to help her find answers puts him in direct conflict with Layla's
well-being. Leeds soon realizes he has to make a choice because he can't help
both of them. But if he makes the wrong choice, it could be detrimental for all
of them."-- Provided by publisher.
Lady of Bones by Carolyn Haines.
"It's Halloween
season in Mississippi as Sarah Booth and the gang gather to decorate and gush
over Tinkie's new baby, Maylin. Sarah Booth is just about to bring out the
snacks when she hears the doorbell chime and opens it to find a woman named
Frankie, distraught at the disappearance of her daughter Christa, a young
journalist. Christa had been investigating the disappearance of young women in
New Orleans, including her own roommate. Now Christa herself is missing, and
Frankie fears it may be connected to a cult based in the Garden District,
called People of Eternity. People of Eternity are known to have far-reaching
connections. When the police won't take Frankie seriously, she turns to Delaney
Detective Agency as her only hope. Sarah Booth accepts the case immediately,
which takes her on a journey to a secret underworld of beguiling cult leaders,
witchcraft, and potentially human sacrifice. She'll have to keep her wits about
her if she wants to crack this case . . . and make it home alive."--

Visions of Fire by Abigail Silver.
My name is Gracie Usuriel
and fire is in my blood. According to my dead sister Ariel, it’s in my very
DNA. She thinks I’m the strongest pyrokinetic ever born on Cybele—so strong my
flames actually burn holes in the fabric of reality that allow me to peer into
other times and places. Hence why my best friend happens to be the ghost of my
(much) older sister. So what exactly am I supposed to do with all this
firepower? At eighteen, I had no idea; I just knew I didn’t want to spend the
rest of my life twiddling my thumbs on my father’s farm. Dad might choose to
spend his whole life hiding out in Angelus Quietum, but I was ready to go have
some adventures! Not to mention a whole bunch of long-overdue research into a
particularly mysterious immortal parent. And if I happened to be taking off to
the same university as a pretty, blond diplomat-in-training, well, that was
just a bonus, right? Dad, on the other hand, didn’t see it my way. He pulled
every guilt protocol in his coding. Once he saw I’d made up my mind, though, he
relented with a stern warning about the Overwatch. “They’re our police,” he
said, “the ones who make sure individuals of Awareness stay in line. With your
head blindness, the telepaths will be very nervous around you and I won’t be
there to make sure everyone remains… civilized.” “I’ll be fine, Dad,” I
reassured him. “After all, how much trouble can I get into at school?”

Haunted Hotels in
America by Robin Mead.
In his years of travel
writing and research, Dr. Robin Mead has found that people are almost equally
divided between believers in ghosts and those who think ghost stories are just
that--entertaining stories. In Haunted Hotels in America, you'll find a
state-by-state guide to the lodgings that cheerfully admit to having an
intangible guest or two. Like the spirits themselves, the stories are
extraordinarily varied. Some are sad. Some are puzzling. A few are even funny.
The Complete Guide to
Food Allergies in Adults and Children
by Scott H. Sicherer, MD.
In this comprehensive,
evidence-based guide for adults and children with food allergies and those who
care for them, Dr. Scott H. Sicherer provides all the critical information you
need on preventing, testing, living with, and treating food allergies. Organized
in an accessible Q&A format and illustrated with case studies, the book
thoroughly explains how to prevent exposure to a known allergen at home, at
work, at school, in restaurants, and elsewhere. Emphasizing the most recent
advances, Sicherer touches on everything from handling an anaphylactic
emergency to diagnosing allergies and intolerances, all while detailing chronic
health problems caused by food, such as eczema, hives, and gastrointestinal
symptoms. Dr. Sicherer also reviews food reactions that are not allergic, such
as lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, and celiac disease. He
explains how to get adequate nutrition when you must avoid dietary staples and
discusses whether allergies ever go away (they do--and sometimes they return).
Finally, he includes an allergy and anaphylaxis emergency plan and checklists
to reduce cross-contamination. This is the most authoritative and accessible
allergy book on the market.
