Alex Berenson, author of The Wolves: A John Wells Novel

John Wells has just barely managed to stop an operation designed to drive the United States and Iran into war, but the instigator himself disappeared behind an impenetrable war of security. Now it’s time for him to pay, and Wells has made it his personal mission. But the White House doesn’t want anybody stirring the pot; his old CIA bosses have their own agendas; and other countries are starting to sniff around, sensing something unusual. It is when Russia and China enter the mix, however, that the whole affair is set to combust.

All week, meteorologists have been talking about the Arctic Blast that will be ripping across the country this weekend.

It’s no secret that every year we usher in the Valentine’s Day season with mixed feelings. If it was up to us, we’d still be delivering Disney punch-out cards to all of our fourth-grade class crushes. In these 20something years, we’re trying to nail some casual Sunday night dinner plans while simultaneously steering clear of those couples holding hands across the table. Splat!

In 2014, we told you that Valentine’s Day was about sharing the love with all of your loved ones, your family, friends and, above all else, your Instagram.

She slays, we slay.
