Darker Minds

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Everyone seems to think Dr. Marcus Preston is nothing but an attractive, charming and helpful therapist. Why am I the only one who sees the pure darkness in him? "The problem is that those women broke at some point and then they become boring to me. No more humor, no challenge or resistance. Tedious." Icy panic crept through my stomach. He was insane. Absolutely insane and I was helplessly at his mercy. Nobody knew where I was, and most certainly nobody would suspect the esteemed doctor or that he could have anything to do with my disappearance. Everyone would think that I had run away. My gaze slid back to the cuff tied around my ankle. The leather was thick and heavy, and had been secured with a padlock. It didn't surprise me that he was organized and methodical in everything he did. After all, I had not heard one rumor or even a single bad word about him. Nobody seemed to know about his little hobby. This dark, depraved, and twisted romance is safe, with no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.

Punishing Devotion

By: Mia Kingsley

I'm supposed to steal a painting from an elegant villa to pay off my brother's debts. No one's supposed to be home, but as soon as I have the artwork in my hand, I promptly stumble into the arms of the owner. The tall Russian with the menacing tattoos wants to know who sent me. I can't possibly tell him that; otherwise, I'm as good as dead, and so is my brother. However, Maxim Gavrilov doesn't seem as if he has the slightest inhibitions about making me tell him the truth... This short romance is over-the-top, a bit dark-ish, and will be served with a sugary sweet happy end.

The Women I Think About at Night

Traveling the Paths of My Heroes

By: Mia Kankimäki

In this “thought-provoking blend of history, biography, women’s studies, and travelogue” (Library Journal) Mia Kankimäki recounts her enchanting travels in Japan, Kenya, and Italy while retracing the steps of ten remarkable female pioneers from history. What can a forty-something childless woman do? Bored with her life and feeling stuck, Mia Kankimäki leaves her job, sells her apartment, and decides to travel the world, following the paths of the female explorers and artists from history who have long inspired her. She flies to Tanzania and then to Kenya to see where Karen Blixen—of Out of Africa fame—lived in the 1920s. In Japan, Mia attempts to cure her depression while researching Yayoi Kusama, the contemporary artist who has voluntarily lived in a psychiatric hospital for decades. In Italy, Mia spends her days looking for the works of forgotten Renaissance women painters of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and finally finds her heroines in the portraits of Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Atremisia Gentileschi. If these women could make it in the world hundreds of years ago, why can’t Mia? The Women I Think About at Night is “an astute, entertaining…[and] insightful” (Publishers Weekly) exploration of the lost women adventurers of history who defied expectations in order to see—and change—the world.

Touch of a Scoundrel

By: Mia Marlowe

It's a matter of honor, duty. . . and desire. . . Griffin Nash, Earl of Devonwood, wants to believe that he's seducing Miss Emmaline Farnsworth out of protectiveness for his young brother. After all, if his brother is convinced that the tantalizing professor's daughter is unworthy of his trust, perhaps Teddy will lose all interest in such an inappropriate choice for his station. But in truth, something else motivates Devonwood: a scintillating vision he's had of a future tryst with the lovely Emmaline. A vision too realistic to be doubted--and too scaldingly passionate to be denied. Yet Emmaline is not as easily tempted as Devonwood might have hoped--nor is she actually in pursuit of a wealthy husband. No, the real reason for her visit to the manor is something much more shocking. . . though being enticed by a dashing earl may prove to be a most welcome by-product of her schemes. . . "A smart and sexy tale." --New York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney "Marlowe proves she has the ‘touch' for strong heroines, wickedly sexy heroes, and love scenes so hot they singe the pages." --USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Ashley "Sensuality, sexuality, passion and mystery blend into a wonderfully entertaining tale." --Romantic Times "Both historical and paranormal readers will love this crossover tale." --Publishers Weekly starred review

Bombshell

Women and Terrorism

Bombshell

Women and Terrorism

By: Mia Bloom

Between 1985 and 2008, female suicide bombers committed more than 230 attacks—about a quarter of all such acts. Women have become the ideal stealth weapon for terrorist groups. They are less likely to be suspected or searched and as a result have been used to strike at the heart of coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This alarming tactic has been highly effective, garnering extra media attention and helping to recruit more numbers to the terrorists' cause. Yet, as Mia Bloom explains in Bombshell: Women and Terrorism, female involvement in terrorism is not confined to suicide bombing and not limited to the Middle East. From Northern Ireland to Sri Lanka, women have been engaged in all manner of terrorist activities, from generating propaganda to blowing up targets. What drives women to participate in terrorist activities? Bloom—a scholar of both international studies and women's studies—blends scrupulous research with psychological insight to unearth affecting stories from women who were formerly terrorists. She moves beyond gender stereotypes to examine the conditions that really influence female violence, arguing that while women terrorists can be just as bloodthirsty as their male counterparts, their motivations tend to be more intricate and multilayered. Through compelling case studies she demonstrates that though some of these women volunteer as martyrs, many more have been coerced by physical threats or other means of social control. As evidenced by the March 2011 release of Al Qaeda's magazine Al Shamikha, dubbed the jihadi Cosmo, it is clear that women are the future of even the most conservative terrorist organizations. Bombshell is a groundbreaking book that reveals the inner workings of a shocking, unfamiliar world.

Daddy, Be Mine

By: Mia Kingsley

Daddy romance meets horror movie—Happy Valentine's Day! After breaking up with my boyfriend not too long ago, getting out of town for work over Valentine's Day didn't sound like a bad idea at all. Working for a production company, I was to oversee the production of the new dating show "Daddy Wanted" on Valentine Island. Twenty contestants fighting over a sexy daddy, and I'm practically getting paid to watch? Of course, I'm in! Unfortunately, the island is not quite as romantic as it sounded in the brochure—the contestants are all nasty, and "Daddy" has no desire to be on the show at all. Oh, and then there's the madman who wants to kill us all while we're stuck on a freaking island with no way out... This book is part slasher (enough to give you goosebumps) and part romance (enough to make your toes curl)—you've been warned!

Dying to Kill

The Allure of Suicide Terror

By: Mia Bloom

What motivates suicide bombers in Iraq and around the world? Can winning the hearts and minds of local populations stop them? Will the phenomenon spread to the United States? These vital questions are at the heart of this important book. Mia Bloom examines the use, strategies, successes, and failures of suicide bombing in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and assesses the effectiveness of government responses. She argues that in many instances the efforts of Israel, Russia, and the United States in Iraq have failed to deter terrorism and suicide bombings. Bloom also considers how terrorist groups learn from one another, how they respond to counterterror tactics, the financing of terrorism, and the role of suicide attacks against the backdrop of larger ethnic and political conflicts. Dying to Kill begins with a review of the long history of terrorism, from ancient times to modernity, from the Japanese Kamikazes during World War II, to the Palestinian, Tamil, Iraqi, and Chechen terrorists of today. Bloom explores how suicide terror is used to achieve the goals of terrorist groups: to instill public fear, attract international news coverage, gain support for their cause, and create solidarity or competition between disparate terrorist organizations. She contends that it is often social and political motivations rather than inherently religious ones that inspire suicide bombers. In her chapter focusing on the increasing number of women suicide bombers and terrorists, Bloom examines Sri Lanka, where 33 percent of bombers have been women; Turkey, where the PKK used women feigning pregnancy as bombers; and the role of the Black Widows in the Chechen struggle against Moscow. The motives of individuals, whether religious or nationalist, are important but the larger question is, what external factors make it possible for suicide terrorism to flourish? Bloom describes these conditions and develops a theory of why terrorist tactics work in some instances and fail in others.
