The Handbringer by Christopher J. Penington is what you get when urban fantasy, high fantasy and historical fiction have coffee together. If you love a good adventure story this would be right up your alley. While the book boasts a combination that promises to deliver, did it really?
Peter Hadrian the dashing cop protagonist is savaged by a vampire when he takes a distress call. He wakes up in the facility and told he has been chosen for a mission, one that takes him backwards in time! He is sent to defeat the source of the vampirism outbreak by killing Dracula. It’s not that simple (as expected) and on the way love is found, friendship bonds are forged, and adventure is had.
I love the premise of this book clearly. Chris fleshed out Romania’s history and put some colour into the possibilities of the reality of Vlad. I learned about the politics of living in ancient Romanian times before it was actually Romania. It's very immersive if you've fantasized about being a strapping medieval warrior that is. It’s funny and sad to see in writing how people in the past would have reacted to such an outbreak and even a possible cure outside the realms of their knowledge. There’s a big dollop of Christianity inspired concepts in this book and it was nice.

There are a lot of aspects that go into staying healthy. When many people think about being healthy, they think about their weight, what they eat and how often they exercise. While those are good things to think about, they don’t show the whole picture of the health of an individual.
For example, an aspect of health that often goes underrated is oral health. The health of your teeth and gums can be a direct look at your overall health. Not only that, but no one wants a stained smile, unhealthy gums, or an oral disease. If you're looking to maintain good oral health, you should visit this dentist in Plantation.
Unfortunately, paying for dental-related costs out of pocket can be very costly. For example, full-mouth dental reconstruction can run $30,000 and up. As a result, having the best dental insurance is very important. But how can you go about maximizing this coverage for your benefit? Without any further ado, let’s take a close look at 5 different tips to help you get the most out of your dental insurance coverage.
Pineapple is a tropical fruit with great health benefits. Apart from the fact that they contain vitamins and serve as antioxidants, here are other health benefits of pineapple.

It is said that around 15% of the workforce have a non-traditional sleep routine due to working in abnormal work hours such as rotating shifts or anytime out of the normal 9-5. It is a challenging way to live and can make you constantly feel like a slug wading through your work duties.
This is simply because your mind is constantly sending your body signs that it should be preparing to sleep throughout the night whilst you are trying to keep it together to complete your job.
The interesting phenomenon is even though you might get enough sleep during the day, you will still feel drowsy. This is because you are working against the natural circadian process that our ancestors for thousands of years have ingrained into our DNA.
