All I can tell you is what I remember, in the words that I have. Hayley tends to her bees and follows the rules in the only world she has ever known. Until she witnesses the impossible: a drip from the ceiling. A drip? It doesn't make sense. Yet she hears it, catches it. Tastes it. Curiosity is a hook. What starts as a drip leads to a lie, a death, a boy, a beast and too many awful questions. Hive is the first in a gripping two-book series by award-winning and international best-selling author A. J. Betts.

This book contains a critical essay/preface on the cultic nature of censorship in Roman Catholicism by David Christopher Lane, professor of philosophy at Mt. San Antonio College. The main body of the book is on the Roman Catholic Index of Forbidden Books, which banned such texts as Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and all books by David Hume. This text includes a list of banned books up to 1966. This is a fascinating glimpse into Catholic apologetics about how they justified censorsing books that are now considered classics.

Das Letzte, was Zac im Nebenzimmer erwartet hätte, wäre ein Mädchen wie Mia gewesen - wild und streitsüchtig, mit einem fragwürdigen Musikgeschmack. Im echten Leben würde sich Zac wohl kaum mit ihr anfreunden. Doch hier auf der Krebsstation im Krankenhaus herrschen eigene Gesetze. Und was mit zaghaften Klopfzeichen an der Wand beginnt, endet mit einer Freundschaft, die beiden das gibt, was sie in ihrer momentanen Situation so sehr brauchen.
