With the change of the seasons comes a change in the Horoscopes. From December 22 and January 20 it’s time for the Capricorns of the world to shine.
The most disciplined and responsible members of the Zodiac, Capricorns have a “stick-to-it” personality. They are confident, strong-willed, and, if you couldn’t tell by this article’s title, incredibly ambitious. Whatever it takes to achieve their goal, a Capricorn will do with practicality, resilience, and hard-work. They also have an affinity for tradition and following the rules, so you can imagine the tight ship that they’ll be running if they ever take over the world. Until that day comes, here are some books that are hopefully up to their standard. If you are not born into the sign, but still have an interest in these books, then there may be a little bit of a Capricorn in you.
5-Nine Elms by Robert Bryndza

Years later a new serial killer arises, following in the Nine Elms serial killer’s footsteps. Still haunted by her past, Kate finds strength within herself to finish the job of ending the madness of these murders, and redeem her career as a brilliant, bona fide, and bad-ass detective.

2-For the Taking by Sam Crescent
In spite of the fact that Capricorns tend to be on the more uptight and emotionless side—no hard feeling guys—all signs are only human. So for the Capricorn more in touch with their emotions, here’s a little steamy romantic drama for those cold and dreary nights.
Riley Lord was once a man who had everything he needed, his loving wife carrying their first child—he was happy. His happy life is dramatically changed after he’s forced to see his pregnant wife murdered right in front of him by his mobster boss and mentor. Having survived being left for dead, he vows to take vengeance and die after he achieves his goal, to be with his wife and child. Years later, the latter part of his plan starts to change after rescuing Meghan, who is, against her will, thrown into danger after rejecting one of the most dangerous men in the city—Riley’s old boss, mentor, and the man he is driven to kill at all costs.
After a decade fueled by hate and pain, Riley’s walls are broken down by Meghan, who is just as tough as she is sharp-tongued. Together they find love and a heated romance, but there is still Meghan being targeted by Riley’s old mob boss, and at the same time, Riley’s unresolved quest for revenge.

Sometimes one must follow what is right and true rather than what the mind holds steadfast in order to survive and see another day.
