Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father's crown... and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

But there's no room for compassion in the Kejari - and nothing more deadly than love...

Non-Fiction Book of the Month

Curious Habits: Why We Do What We Do and How to Change by Luke Mathers

A curious habit is helpful... until it's not.

Attention to detail is great - perfectionism is a curious habit.

Chocolate is awesome - using it to treat anxiety is a curious habit.

Honest self-awareness is admirable - constantly beating yourself up is a curious habit.

We have habits for a reason, we repeat things that feel good and move away from the stuff we don't like. Our habits solve a problem and make life easier. Unfortunately, our habits can turn on us. This book teaches us how to use curiosity as a superpower. It takes the blame and shame out of habit change so that we make the change not because we HAVE to, but because we WANT to.

Drawing from the collective wisdom of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, Stoic philosophy and even Instagram, leading mindset coach Luke Mathers helps us embrace the power of curiosity to recognise when habits start to impact negatively our health and happiness.
