Day 4 - Books are here!!

So, I woke up a little late today with a surprise! My sister brought her little bundle of joy by to see us :D and I got my books! (Yes they were actually in the package!) So, after holding my little nephew for a while before he had to go home I have now started reading my new "stack" of books. I'm gonna post them up in order of how I'll read them: one I'll most likely not like all the way to the one I know I love :) I'll post a what is found on the backs of the books to give short synopses of each.

Excavation

by: James Rollins

The South American jungle guards many secrets... and a remarkable site nestled between two towering Andean peaks, hidden from human eyes for thousands of years. Dig deeper...through layers of rock and mystery, through centuries of dark, forgotten legend. Into ancient catacombs... where ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting; where earth-shattering discoveries--and wealth beyond imagining--could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown. Something is waiting... here where the perilous journey ends, in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking necropolis; something created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous. Something terrifying.

The Beast that was Max

by: Gerard Houarner

Max walks in two worlds. He resides in the borderland between the world of shadowy government conspiracy and the world of vengeful ghosts and evil gods, between living flesh and supernatural spirits--between life and death. For Max is the ultimate killer an assassin powered by the Beast, an inner demon that enables him to kill--and do it incredibly well.

But the Beast inside Max is very real and very much alive. He is all of Max's dark desires, his murderous impulses, and he won't ever let Max forget that he exists. The Beast is Max. So it won't be easy for Max to silence the Beast, though he knows that is what he must do to reclaim his humanity. But without the protection of the Beast, Max the assassin will soon find himself the prey, the target of the spirits of his past victims.

Blindsight

by: Michael Stewart

(Sorry the pic isn't like the others I couldn't find one online so I had to use my webcam)

Blindsight: residual vision following lesion of the striate cortex. That is, the ability of a blind person to see.

     Just when Guy Sullivan thought he was over his wife's death, he is devastated to learn he is going blind. His last, fragile hope lies in radical--possibly dangerous--experiments in blindsight. But with each jarring headache that heralds his coming darkness, the young schoolteacher is haunted by bizarre clairvoyant flashes--previsions of the future.

     To Jamie Sullivan, his father's blindness is God's will--a punishment for letting his mother die. And when Jamie himself becomes the instrument of God's wrath, Guy must race against time to prevent his last horrifying premonition from coming true...

Spook Night

by: David Robbins

(found on the very first page)

     Fearing he's losing touch with his wife and teenage children, John Grant moves to a little town named Spook Hollow. Once away from the pressure of city life, he's sure he can save his marriage. But he doesn't know about the local ghost stores--or the legendary specter that has left more than one of the townspeople real dead. As Halloween night approaches, spirits rise and panic spreads. And if John can't find a way to stop the phantom terror, his dream home will be filled with deadly nightmares that will destroy his family.

(found on the back cover)

Spirits from their graves will rise.

Panic through the streets will spread.

One ghost shrieks and rants and cries.

One demon feeds upon the dead.

Kill the evil if you dare.

Nightmares fill with devils from hell.

In the dark are death and fear.

Goblins and ghouls, spooks and spells--

Halloween comes and they appear.

Terror rules the world--Beware!

Cursed be the Child

by: Mort Castle

The Past...

Her innocence betrayed, her body battered, her life destroyed, five-year-old Lisette lay dying. But hers was a will of uncommon strength for one so young, and even as she slipped into unconsciousness, she vowed revenge on a cruel world--even if she had to wait for an eternity.

The Present...

Five-year-old Melissa loved her family's new home, especially the big basement to play in--and her new friend Lisette. Missy's parents said Lisette was imaginary, but Missy knew that she was very real. Missy could see and hear and talk to her. But Lisette made Missy do scary things, dirty things she didn't want to do, and when Missy told her to leave, Lisette wouldn't go away. Lisette had waited years for a child whose soul she could steal, and now nothing--not even death--could stand in her way...
