Getting kidnapped and held hostage in a human trafficker's basement was not on my bingo card. Getting rescued by a paranormal being was also not on my bingo card. (Apparently, I needed to trade in bingo cards.) The guy who took me may be dead, but I know there are more people behind the operation, and I plan to shut it down. If I need to get the help of one of the creepy glowing-eyed dudes to do it, I will. It turns out Liam is incredibly sexy and really good with technology, too. He may be great at hacking into computers, but I'm determined to hack my way into his life.

It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

Apparently, the trauma from being kidnapped doesn't end when you're rescued, although I'm doing better. I have a roommate who has become family, and we've been adopted by a pack of otherworldly creatures who protect us. I'm still a little jumpy, and most people make me uncomfortable, but baking, therapy, and my daily walks are all helping. The sweet guard dog who follows me around in the woods helps, too. I can tell him anything I want—even how scared I am of my own family. I'm afraid to bring trouble to my new family's doorstep, but I can't end up caged again.

In Paradise Found, first published in 1885, Warren explores the world’s oldest legends—from Eden and Olympus to Asgard and Avalon—tracing their shared symbolism to a common source: a vanished paradise near the Pole.

Cosa faresti se fossi Dio? Pirjeri Ryynänen, gruista di Helsinki, una risposta l'avrebbe trovata nei quotidiani monologhi di protesta che in cima alla sua gru rivolge all'Onnipotente: eliminerebbe fame e povertà, proteggerebbe l'ambiente e garantirebbe a tutti pace e felicità. Ma il lavoro da fare è infinito. Forse è per questo che Dio è così stanco e depresso: non ne può più dell'umanità, delle sue iniquità e delle sue guerre, e se non ha ancora distrutto la Terra è solo perché è tanto bella, e poi che colpa ne hanno gli altri animali?
