    Bullying Cure: How to Protect Your Children from Being Bullied or Cyberbullied , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
    This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to effectively curb and control incidences of bullying either at school or at other venues. The lessons and pointers contained herein couldn't have come at a more appropriate time, given the steady rise of cases of bullying. As it were, bullying is a menacing problem that has been proven to cause not only physical pain and short-term anxiety, but also lifelong consequences with adverse effects on one's mental and emotional growth. This problem is exacerbated by the increasingly troubling ubiquity of cyberbullying, where the same nasty bullying behavior is carried over to an entirely new platform - this time, the Internet. Given young people's predilection to go online as digital natives, it comes as no surprise that the World Wide Web becomes, by itself, an extension of their real world, one that is more insidious because of its inherently viral and damning nature. It is therefore imperative for parents to take on a more proactive role in ensuring that their children are adequately protected from, or else aware of how to deal with, bullying. There should be systems in place to contain incidences of bullying before they morph into something worse, and these safeguards should naturally begin at home. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Robicheaux: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 837min
    James Lee Burke's most beloved character, Dave Robicheaux, returns in this gritty, atmospheric mystery set in the towns and backwoods of Louisiana. Dave Robicheaux is a haunted man. Between his recurrent nightmares about Vietnam, his battle with alcoholism, and the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Molly, his thoughts drift from one irreconcilable memory to the next. Images of ghosts at Spanish Lake live on the edge of his vision. During a murder investigation, Dave Robicheaux discovers he may have committed the homicide he's investigating, one that involved the death of the man who took the life of Dave's beloved wife. As he works to clear his name and make sense of the murder, Robicheaux encounters a cast of characters and a resurgence of dark social forces that threaten to destroy all of those whom he loves. What emerges is not only a propulsive and thrilling novel but a harrowing study of America: this nation's abiding conflict between a sense of past grandeur and a legacy of shame, its easy seduction by demagogues and wealth, and its predilection for violence and revenge. James Lee Burke has returned with one of America's favorite characters in his most searing, most prescient novel to date. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Will Patton.

    Sourland: Stories of Loss, Grief, and Forgetting , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 856min
    A gripping and moving new collection of stories that reimagines the meaning of loss - through often unexpected and violent means. Joyce Carol Oates is not only one of our most important novelists and literary critics, she is also an unparalleled master of the short story. Sourland - 16 previously uncollected stories that explore how the power of violence, loss, and grief shape both the psyche and the soul - shows us an author working at the height of her powers. With lapidary precision and an unflinching eye, Oates maps the surprising contours of “ordinary” life. From a desperate man who dons a jack-o’-lantern head as a prelude to a most curious sort of courtship, to a “story of a stabbing” many times recounted in the life of a lonely girl; from a beguiling young woman librarian whose amputee state attracts a married man and father, to a girl hopelessly in love with her renegade, incarcerated cousin; from a professor’s wife who finds herself tragically isolated at a party in her own house, to the concluding title story of an unexpectedly redemptive love rooted in radical aloneness and isolation, each story in Sourland resonates beautifully with Oates’s trademark fascination for the unpredictable amid the prosaic—the co-mingling of sexual love and violence, the tumult of family life—and shines with her predilection for dark humor and her gift for voice. ungekürzt.

    Male Chastity Keyholder Guide: A Dominant Woman's Guide to Male Chastity Keyholding , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min, (USK 18)
    There is a lot of variety in the world of fetish and kink, with limitless possibilities for creativity in sensual play. Many people unfamiliar with this lifestyle immediately focus on the more obvious or superficial aspects, like honorific nicknames or corsets and leather boots. But for people who participate in fetishes as a lifestyle, the practices and games are essential parts of their relationships, with their own sets of rules and standards. One particularly interesting subculture within the world of kink is that of the female keyholder and her chastised male subordinate. The phrase male chastity probably spooks some men and excites others (whether they are willing to admit it or not). Either attitude is amusing to the sophisticated woman with a predilection for domination and control. For submissive men there are many benefits to a male chastity arrangement. The calculating domme will use all of her feminine charms to her advantage, establishing a system of rules meant to keep her man under lock and key - literally. The popularity of male chastity devices has soared in recent years, and although this may be taboo, it's something many people talk about behind closed doors. Conveniently hidden under clothes, male chastity devices provide necessary restriction for the man and allow his dominant complete control over his orgasms. These devices are a valuable tool for the modern dominant woman and excellent for contemporary "tease and denial" games. Exploring male chastity can be a fun new game for adventurous couples or a complete long-term lifestyle for kinky pairs. Whatever the relationship type, employing a male chastity device sends a clear message: He's on lockdown, and she holds the key. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Audrey Lusk.

    The Devil You Know: The Devil DeVere, Book 3: The Devil DeVere, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
    Book #3 in The Devil DeVere Series – Library Journal Best E-book Romance 2012 Sometimes the devil is disguised as a gentleman... In this third installment of the award-winning Devil DeVere series, DeVere is finally center stage when Ned, Annalee, and her cousin, Diana arrive at DeVere’s estate for a weekend of horseracing. From the first meeting, DeVere makes his interest in Diana acutely known. Although she sees no harm in a light flirtation, she doesn’t intend to become another notch on his bedpost. Nevertheless, DeVere fascinates her. Ned gave her a meaningful look. "I hope you'll take extreme care in any dealings with him. He is ruthless and calculating when he chooses to be and has a strong predilection to manipulate and exploit the vulnerabilities of others—when it suits his purpose. He just can't help himself. It's not that he's evil incarnate, or anything like that; it's just that he has low tolerance for weakness, incompetence, or buffoonery." Diana lifted her brow. "You know I am no fool, dear Edward. I take full responsibility for my actions and have already made clear what I am willing and not willing to sacrifice." Although DeVere is outwardly arrogant, ruthless, unpredictable, and manipulative, the private man is quite another creature—intensely loyal and fiercely protective of those few he cares about. Diana also maintains a false front to the world. Her twelve year marriage is a mockery and she feels unfulfilled and undesirable which makes her all too vulnerable to DeVere’s dangerous charm. After events take an unexpected turn, Diana' most erotic fantasies become reality when she seeks comfort and affirmation in the devil's arms. But little does she know that the fire he ignites within her will burn long after she leaves Woodcote Park. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eva Hathaway.
