  Insecurity Cure: How to Stop Jealousy and Feeling Insecure in Your Life and Your Relationships , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min

  This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to eliminate jealousy and insecurity in your life. Any relationship is prone to certain hurdles. There are times in which you and your significant other fight over even the simplest things. Choosing a restaurant to dine in for the night can very well nurture an atmosphere of contempt. And then there are other things like finances, careers, relationships and emotional space that constitute the core of human life. We can never stray from the simple truism that relationships can succumb to problems. And it becomes more complicated when either partner begins to feel emotionally detached; a feeling which is often caused by jealousy. But regarding jealousy, we should also provide another truism. For instance, in the world of relationships, we find it hard to know the feelings of our partners. We cannot help but try to decode their thoughts. But we do know how we feel when, say, when they approach someone else. This happens a lot to people in relationships. You are at a party, and then this guy or girl arrives, flaunting the good looks of a model. He or she enters the room, attracting the other people with sex appeal. You can only look on when your hubby figures as a potential victim. You try to play it cool, but you just can't help being unnerved in such a tense situation, where you try to control your partner but simply can't. Instead, you try to enjoy the remaining hours of the party, contemplating on whether you are indeed a good mate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leanne Yau.

  Forgotten: The Fate Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min

  His perseverance unnerved me, scrutinizing my every move like a twisted guardian angel. Jace waited patiently for me to join him. Like he knew my defiance would crumble under his intense gaze, which was exactly why I avoided him until twilight. He hijacked my dreams and proved to be a different kind of nightmare - unhinged, rebellious, and dangerously mouth-watering. "Escape from reality, Gwyneth. Sometimes life can be too painful to live in, even for immortals," Jace whispered in my dream. His heat, fervor, and unrelenting confidence resonated around me when he closed the gap between us. His lips hovered above mine, waiting for me to give into him. Gwyneth's chronicle began long before she witnessed her family being brutally murdered and lost her sight. Living as an orphan, her world is anything but black and white. She sees her vivid future that promises suffering and death. Cursed with these visions, Gwyneth pretends to be like everyone else, until a dangerously charismatic young man walks into her life. From the moment Jace lays eyes on her, he refuses to believe Gwyneth is normal. He knows information about her past that only a psychopathic stalker could dig up. He reveals her dirty secrets. Unbeknownst details of Gwyneth's former life unfurl. Unsure of what to believe, Gwyneth searches for answers that lead to her inconceivable fate. However, the ancient truth she uncovers is more dangerous than any high school romance she'd bargained for. Gwyneth is dragged into an inevitable battle brewing between immortal Gods and ageless Hunters - both of which have sworn to kill her if deemed necessary. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Local Girl Missing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min

  From the best-selling author of The Sisters comes this twisty, haunting thriller about two best friends, corrosive jealousy, and dark secrets - perfect for fans of The Widow and Luckiest Girl Alive. Someone knows where she is. The old Victorian pier was a thing of beauty until it was allowed to decay. It was where the youth of Oldcliffe-on-Sea would go to hang out. It's also where 21-year-old Sophie Collier disappeared 18 years ago. Francesca Howe, known as Frankie, was Sophie's best friend, and even now she is haunted by the mystery of what happened to her. When Frankie gets a call from Sophie's brother, Daniel, informing her that human remains have been found washed up nearby, she immediately wonders if it could be Sophie and returns to her old hometown to try to find closure. Now an editor at a local newspaper, Daniel believes that Sophie was terrified of someone and that her death was the result of foul play rather than "death by misadventure", as the police claim. Daniel arranges a holiday rental for Frankie that overlooks the pier where Sophie disappeared. In the middle of winter and out of season, Frankie feels isolated and unnerved, especially when she is out on the pier late one night and catches a glimpse of a woman who looks like Sophie. Is the pier really haunted, as they joked all those years ago? Could she really be seeing her friend's ghost? And what actually happened to her best friend all those years ago? Harrowing, electrifying, and thoroughly compelling, Local Girl Missing showcases once again best-selling author Claire Douglas' extraordinary storytelling talent. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Chernobyl and Three Mile Island: The History and Legacy of the World's Most Notorious Nuclear Accidents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 163min

  Uranium is best known for the destructive power of the atom bombs, which ushered in the nuclear era at the end of World War II, but given the effectiveness of nuclear power, plants like those at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania were constructed to generate energy for Americans during the second half of the 20th century. While nuclear power plants were previously not an option and thus opened the door to new, more efficient, and more affordable forms of energy for domestic consumption, the use of nuclear energy understandably unnerved people living during the Cold War and amidst ongoing nuclear detonations. After all, the damage wrought on Hiroshima and Nagasaki made clear to everyone what nuclear energy was capable of inflicting, and the health problems encountered by people exposed to the radiation also demonstrated the horrific side effects that could come with the use of nuclear weapons or the inability to harness the technology properly. Thus, it seemed that everyone's worst fears were realized on March 28, 1979 when the nuclear plant at Three Mile Island suffered a partial meltdown. As bad as it was, Three Mile Island paled in comparison to Chernobyl, which to this day remains the most notorious nuclear accident in history. Located in the Ukraine, the Chernobyl power plant was undergoing experiments in the early morning hours of April 26, 1986 when it suffered a series of explosions in one of its nuclear reactors, killing over 30 people at the plant and spread radioactive fallout across a wide swath of the Soviet Union. Chernobyl and Three Mile Island chronicles the worst nuclear accident in history and the aftermath of the accident. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis E. Morris.

  Innocent in Death: In Death, Book 24 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min

  The death of history teacher Craig Foster devastated his young wife, who'd sent him off to work that morning with a lovingly packed lunch. It shocked his colleagues at the Upper West Side private school. And as for the 10-year-old girls who found him in his classroom in a pool of bodily fluids, they may have been traumatized for life. Lieutenant Eve Dallas, of course, is more hardened to murder cases. And this is clearly a murder case. That lovingly packed lunch was tainted with deadly ricin. And Mr. Foster's colleagues, shocked as they may be, have some shocking secrets of their own. It's Eve's job to get a feel for all the potential suspects, and find out why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant...so innocent. Now Magdelana Percell - there's someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. Possibly at Eve's own hands. The slinky blonde - an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke, from his days on the wrong side of the law - has turned up in New York, and she's anything but innocent. Unfortunately, Roarke seems blind to Magdelana's manipulation, but not to her shapely figure and flirtatious ways. And he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about...and none of Eve's business. Eve's so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on the Foster case. Still, she'll have to put aside her anger, jealousy, and heartbreak, for a while at least - because another man has just turned up dead, and the case is taking some strange turns and hitting some frustrating dead ends. Eve knows all too well that innocence can be a façade. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. But it may also tear apart her marriage. ungekürzt. Language: English.
