About the book
Cyanide broke us. Alastair left us defeated, humiliated, and dangerously low on resources. But I am not the same pawn I once was. This time, the board is mine.
The Sinners and the Reapers are in play. My brutes are ready to fight, and I will not let fear dictate the outcome. If we cannot rise as the family Jasper always promised, we risk losing more than Bristlebrook. We risk losing forever.
Love, loyalty, and survival are entwined in every decision we make. Each betrayal cuts deeper, each kiss binds tighter, and every choice decides whether we live or fall.
This is not just about reclaiming what was lost. It is about building the future we were meant to claim together.

About the book
Bristlebrook burns, my brutes are gone, and Sam’s camp is ready to explode. I was their meek captive once, but grief has hardened me. These men destroyed the only safety I had, and I will become the villain they never saw coming to bring them down. Smart. Ruthless. Unstoppable. Even if it destroys me.
While I plot my vengeance, my brutes fight their way back from the ashes. Lucky is injured, Bristlebrook is in ruins, and loyalties are cracking under pressure. But one truth remains. They will bring me home, or they will not come home at all.
Love in the wasteland was always dangerous. Now it is a war, and the prize is not just survival but a future worth fighting for.

About the book
The Final War left the world in ruins, but I was surviving just fine, my cave, my garden, my books. Solitude hurt, sure, but it was safe. Until hunters forced me out and into the arms of five ex-Army Rangers who were bigger, meaner, and far more dangerous than anything I’d faced.
Their offer? Protection in exchange for my body. Outrageous. Scandalous. Impossible. And yet, temptation cuts deeper than fear. These brutes aren’t just muscle; they’re carrying secrets, scars, and sins that make them nearly as untouchable as the wasteland itself.
I swore I’d never surrender. But resisting five men who are determined to claim me is harder than surviving the apocalypse itself.
They think I belong beneath them. I’m determined to prove otherwise.

About the book
Twenty years ago, monsters rose on earth and began a new age of civilization.
One where humans live in military-controlled, cramped and dirty cities along the coasts, and the majority of the United States is known as the Wastes. A lawless, desolate and dangerous place, teeming with monsters that have claimed the land for their own.
Including Wyn the Soul Eater.
He appears every three years, making his way across the country and slaughtering humans randomly, sucking them dry until they’re nothing but husks.
I’ve only been in the military for six months, but now I’m part of a unit tasked with trying to stop and capture him. And when I’m the only soldier out of hundreds that the Soul Eater leaves alive, I realise that… something about me has intrigued him.
But what is it? What could a twenty-three year old guy from the south, with no one and nothing in the world, have possibly done to capture the attention of a death monster with horns, blackened fingertips and a face hidden in the dark depths of his hood?
Soul Eater is the debut novel of Lily Mayne. It is the first in a planned post-apocalyptic fantasy series featuring monsters and human men falling in love. Warning: This m/m love story contains explicit content and is not suitable for young readers. There are also graphic depictions of torture and violence.

About the book
At the end of the world, a woman must hide her secret power and find her kidnapped daughter in this "intricate and extraordinary" Hugo Award winning novel of power, oppression, and revolution. (The New York Times)
This is the way the world ends. . .for the last time.
It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.
This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.
Read the first book in the critically acclaimed, three-time Hugo award-winning trilogy by NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.

Volcanoes.
Devolution
Horror · Sci-Fi · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
Volcanoes. Isolation. Bigfoot. Devolution by Max Brooks (World War Z) is the survival horror thriller you didn’t know you needed. Told through recovered journals and dark research, this 4.5-star bestseller explores the bloody truth behind a forgotten massacre in the Washington wilderness. Finalist for the Locus Award. Click now to discover why Bigfoot is not the cuddly cryptid you imagined.

About the book
Mount Rainier erupted. Then something far worse came down from the mountains.
Devolution is Max Brooks’ gripping, genre-bending Bigfoot horror novel that blends survival thriller, investigative journalism, and blood-soaked suspense. Told through the recovered journal of Kate Holland and paired with chilling research, the story of Greenloop—a high-tech eco-community turned massacre site—unfolds in terrifying detail.
Trapped by volcanic devastation and cut off from civilization, the residents of Greenloop face something far more primal than isolation: a brutal tribe of Sasquatch with a taste for human flesh.
From the author of World War Z, Devolution delivers relentless tension, unforgettable characters, and a Bigfoot tale that feels horrifyingly possible.
Believe or don’t. But if Kate’s account is real… you’ll never hike the woods the same way again.
