In Hollywood, love and ambition rarely share the same spotlight.
A Fatal Affair
Thriller · Psychological Thriller
Our take
In Hollywood, love and ambition rarely share the same spotlight. When actress Nora Kemp’s affair with her lover’s twin ends in a double death on a Beverly Hills estate, suspicion fractures every relationship around her. As detectives untangle rivalries, secrets, and the possibility of a serial killer, A Fatal Affair unfolds as a layered psychological thriller about deception, desire, and the cost of living inside carefully crafted illusions.

About the book
Stars. Lovers. Liars. Killers. This is Hollywood, and everyone has a part to play in a shocking novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author A. R. Torre.
Actress Nora Kemp loves two men. One is Hugh Iverson, a philanthropic movie star who gives Nora security and respectability. The other is Hugh’s twin brother, Trent, a Hollywood bad boy who brings out Nora’s wild side. When Trent and an unidentified woman are found dead on the Iversons’ Beverly Hills property, more than Nora’s and Hugh’s reputations are at stake.
An investigation suggests murder-suicide. But there’s more to the crime than first meets the eye: suspicions of a serial killer with a bizarre motive, Hugh’s unnerved and cautious staff, and a missing mother and son. As two LA detectives sift through the deceptions of the innocent and the guilty—some living and some dead—solving the case becomes a cunning cat-and-mouse game.
Because in a city of illusions, the truth—no matter how dangerous—is so easy to hide.

About the book
Sarah Temple hopes to find a bit of peace and quiet when she leaves her abusive boyfriend, but instead she finds a world of horror. It’s bad enough that a sadistic serial killer and another maniac are both trying to murder her, but what’s worse is the mysterious Solitary One who controls both of them, a malevolent entity that the serial killer describes as a living darkness, a man and yet not a man, something that’s alive and yet not alive, something that wants to appall the world.
Trying to flee from the two killers, Sarah finds herself running deeper and deeper into a deadly supernatural trap, a place where people are buried alive, where ghastly apparitions mutter in the dark, where demented killers prowl, where a crumbling haunted house can drive its victims mad with terror, and where something buried for a very long time may walk again.

About the book
I love all of MacIntosh's work. This one is definitely one of my favourites' Reader review
Don't miss this hilarious forced proximity, enemies to lovers rom-com from million-copy bestselling author Portia MacIntosh!
In reality it was a business trip, dressed up as a romantic mini break, but the man behind the wheel was meant to be Candice Hart’s boss (and secret boyfriend). Not Danny the new guy.
Not only does Candice have to navigate the cramped quarters of Danny's 'fully' restored VW Beetle, but she also has to contend with his relentless enthusiasm for sharing his thoughts on everything from her career to her love life.
As the journey turns into a chaotic adventure full of unexpected twists, Candice starts to realise that she might actually be enjoying herself with Danny more than she ever expected. Is it time to stop playing it safe and show the world the real Candice Hart?

About the book
“You should be afraid of me, mongrel. I keep telling you that.”
Malcroix Bones Academy, hallowed university for elite Magicals, just enrolled its first hybrid student in its thousand-year history, Leda Shadow. The Bones family founders also send their male heir, Caelum: entitled, spoiled, irritatingly competent, deadly in the magical sparring ring, and born to preside as virtual king over the university his family founded. He’s also best friend to the first Magical Leda meets when she first arrives in Magical London.
Of course, Caelum himself despises her on sight.
But when someone tries to kill her, he learns something strange about her magic, and together they make a pact. He’ll help her stay alive, and she’ll help him with his magical “problem,” and absolutely no one will know of their arrangement. But as the year unfolds, their already-volatile relationship gets increasingly complicated.
And Caelum’s got a rep as the biggest prick in school for a reason.
Malcroix Bones Academy is book one in the dark academia romance series, Bones and Shadow. Meet Leda Shadow, first hybrid to live in Magique in over a thousand years, and Caelum Bones, the prince prick of the magical university where she finds herself. This dark academia, enemies to lovers, romantasy series, Bones and Shadow, features all adult characters in a brand new world, filled with deadly creatures, dark sorcerers, invisible cities, ancient myths, animal spirits, dark magic, and cults obsessed with wiping out the human race.

At a secluded academy where dark magic and elite bloodlines rule, rivalry cuts deeper than spells.
House of Pain
Romantasy · Paranormal Romance
Our take
At a secluded academy where dark magic and elite bloodlines rule, rivalry cuts deeper than spells. In House of Pain, half-witch Alecto Black becomes the target of both a powerful rival faction and Blaze Leveau, her former friend turned tormentor. As secrets surface and loyalties shift, this dark academia paranormal romance explores obsession, cruelty, and desire sharpened by vengeance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
What do you get if you mix Harry Potter with Zodiac Academy, a dash of Gossip Girl, and a generous sprinkle of dark, deathly magic? The Venefica Academy.
Blaze Leveau, the most popular pure-blooded bad-boy, has hated a half-witch, Alecto Black since the day she stepped foot at the secluded academy on the shore of a bloody lake, where dark magic and spoiled elite ravage untamed.
Or, so Alecto thinks.
Why else would her childhood friend-turned-sworn enemy with dark eyes and mischievous smirk risk jeopardizing his legacy just to get Alecto in trouble with one of her professors? Surely, it’s his pure, wicked desire to see her suffer.
And that’s not even the worst of what Blaze Leveau is capable of.
However, when Alecto becomes a target of the rival student group, Blaze is the first to throw punches and spill blood to protect her. It turns out Blaze has a claim on Alecto–he is the only one allowed to torture her.
What Blaze doesn’t expect is that Alecto isn’t just a tame and demure half-mortal he believed her to be. Alecto has sharp teeth and nails and is ready to fight back. His charms and wicked tongue be damned.
House of Pain is the perfect read for dark academia and paranormal fantasy lovers who want morally grey characters, dark family secrets, spoiled rich bad boys, and lots of spice. It's a dual POV, steamy (extremely) enemies-to-lovers bully romance, so proceed with caution–you have been warned.

About the book
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge...
I was born a woman.
Raised by women.
In love with women.
Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I'd never known much of men. I certainly didn't know enough to fear them.
Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.
And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.
But they left me with two valuable lessons.
I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.
And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.
Revenge.
And mine takes the form of the President's very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.
Before the end of term, I'll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

About the book
He’s the devil. And she’s his wicked game.
An enemies-to-lovers dark academia romance with a thrilling twist and epic love story from the disturbed mind that brought you the Darkly, Madly Duet.
Halen:
They say eyes are the windows to the soul—but when he looks at me through hues of slate-green and flaring blue embers, I’m terrified of what’s watching me from behind his clashing gaze, something primal and feverish that threatens to melt me like fire in ice.
I fear falling into Kallum Locke’s pitch-black soul.
But after I’m called to a crime scene to investigate the most gruesome act of violence to descend on the legendary town of Hollow’s Row, I have no choice but to turn to Kallum, to the man I had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.
He’s the leading expert on all things Nietzsche and occult. And now, to get answers, I’m forced to make a deal with the devil himself.
Kallum:
Really, eyes are the windows to the soul? Then I wonder what little Halen St. James thinks of all the cryptic eyes watching her in the killing fields… I wonder if the hairs on her delicate nape lifted away, if a thrilling shiver raced over her soft skin. She’s desperate for the answer, and she’ll do anything to uncover it—even make a deal with me, dangling freedom like bait on a hook.
But she’s far more tempting to sink my teeth into than any lure.
And the pain will taste twice as sweet.

About the book
A Lesson in Vengeance meets The Taking of Jake Livingston in this page-turning dark academia novel about a queer Black teen who discovers the sinister history of his boarding school and the corrupt powers behind it all. A USA Today bestseller!
Regent Academy has a long and storied history in Winslow, Vermont, as does the forest that surrounds it. The school is known for molding teens into leaders, but its history is far more nefarious.
Seventeen-year-old Douglas Jones wants nothing to do with Regent's king-making; he’s just trying to survive. But then a student is murdered and, for some reason, by the next day no one remembers him having ever existed, except for Douglas and the groundskeeper's son, Everett Everley. In his determination to uncover the truth, Douglas awakens a horror hidden within the forest, unearthing secrets that have been buried for centuries. A vengeful creature wants blood as payment for a debt more than three hundred years in the making—or it will swallow all of Winslow in darkness.
And for the first time in his life, Douglas might have a chance to grasp the one thing he’s always felt was missing: power. But if he’s not careful, he will find out that power has a tendency to corrupt absolutely everything.

“FOURTH WING MEETS HOGWARTS with an addicting twist... If Voldemort had a 23-year-old daughter, you’d get Esme Salem. Dark, sexy and unique!” – Best In Dark Fantasy Romance Reads ★★★★★
Dark mages don’t deal in warnings — only executions.
So when assassin-in-training Esme Salem is tasked with infiltrating a magical defense academy and eliminating Kieran Mazrov — a deadly mage with powers that could erase her kind from existence — it should be treacherous but simple. A poisonous jab to his throat. A garrote bracelet slit across his neck. No hesitation.
What she doesn’t expect is Professor Dayn.
Calculating. Controlled. Lethal in every line of his body — which emits literal heat when he enters a room. He’s supposed to be an academic, but nothing about him screams scholarly. And the more she tries to pursue her mission, the more dangerous he becomes...
She came to kill.
She might just end up undone — unless she can undo both predators first.
