The sun always rises, even in Nachtwald, and for Priscilla it’s a brand new day full of promise. Baseball tryouts are going as well as could be hoped. There’s edible food to be found, and a bewitching, broomstick-riding friend to share it with. Plus Balthazar, town prince and school idol, seems interested in dating her. There’s just one problem: Kitten wanted him first! When the green-eyed monster of jealousy and a set of snobby vampire grandparents descend on Nachtwald, Priscilla might have to hop a broomstick back to America just to stay sane.
When 15-year-old Priscilla’s parents pass away, she has nowhere to go but to here last “living” relatives in the European town of Nachtwald. Once there, she learns that not only is Nachtwald populated by ghosts, werewolves, witches and other preternatural beings, but that her relatives are vampires. Amidst the pandemonium, she turns to her diary, and slowly learns what it takes to survive a new family, new friendships, and the anxiety of high school — all while living in an unfamiliar world!

This book follows two lines of inquiry in understanding nursing ethics in the historical-cultural context of modern China. Firstly, it scrutinizes the prescribed set of moral virtues for nurses in fulfilling their role requirements during different periods of nursing development over the past century. Based on empirical studies, the book, secondly, explores the nurses’ evaluations of their ethical responsibilities in current practice. It carefully examines the particular viewpoints of nurses in their ethical appraisal of nursing practice and patient care situations. Drawing upon traditional ethical outlooks, international norms, and the experiences of nurses as they face difficult care situations, this book concludes with recommendations for improving the quality of nursing in contemporary China.
ROUND 1 Illegal pit fighter and werewolf Carmine Rojas gets an off-hours assignment from her boss-babysitting a skin walker who's gotten herself in trouble with the yakuza. Carmine may kick ass in the ring but tangling with the yakuza is well above her pay grade. So Carmine turns to her gangbanger cousin Rodrigo for help and firearms. Together they spend a terror-filled night battling yakuza thugs, bickering over family, and blowing crap up. ROUND 2 A martial arts student of Carmine's finds an opportunity to make some much needed money. What he doesn't is how slim his chances are. Carmine must intervene or let him die. A tough choice when intervening means asking her boss at the illegal fight club for help.
