About the book
For fans of Darcy Coates’s paranormal thrills and Jeneva Rose’s romantic suspense, the supernatural and physical worlds collide in this mesmerizing tale of a gruesome murder set against the Southern Gothic backdrop of a historic Louisiana mansion.
It begins when two young boys discover a 100-year-old skeleton buried near the grounds of Belle Reve, a Greek revival style mansion built in the 1870s. As police investigate, strange and eerie occurrences plague the mansion—footsteps in empty hallways, slamming doors in empty rooms.
The owner of Belle Reve, Rachel Belmond, beautiful and still young at 44, is also in failing health, her condition deteriorating. It’s her niece, Nicole, who begins to suspect that something deadly has invaded the house. And it is Nicole who meets someone who might be able to find answers . . .
As the incidents grow more intense, Rachel’s niece, Nicole Belmond, begins to suspect that something otherworldly may have invaded the house.
Lucas Devereaux is the owner of the Baton Rouge Youth Center where Nicole’s teenage half-brother has been sentenced for a juvenile crime. The attraction between Lucas and Nicole is instant. Hearing rumors that Lucas, a former priest, has the ability to deal with supernatural events, Nicole shares her worries about Belle Reve. But Lucas can’t begin until he has more information.
Fearing for Rachel’s fragile health, trying to ignore their growing attraction, Nicole and Lucas work to find the link between the mysterious old bones and the terrifying events in the house that grow more ominous every day. Can Nicole and Lucas protect Rachel and stop the demonic forces that threaten the very existence of Belle Reve? Or is more happening than anyone can imagine?

Voidheart
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
In a world where power defines worth, failure becomes a brand that cannot be erased. When Roran Los touches the aether stone and it goes dark, he is named a voidheart, feared for his ability to suppress the magic of others. As ancient forces awaken beyond his homeland, this progression fantasy follows a rejected youth learning to master the very void that isolates him.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The aether stone grants power to the worthy. For Roran, it gave nothing—except the ability to take it away.
At the Shardfall Ceremony, every youth in the Casernak Basin receives a celestial gift—fire, storm, stone, or frost. Roran Los should’ve joined them, earning a place among the protectors of his homeland.
But when he touches the aether stone, it goes dark.
Branded a voidheart—a rare and feared anomaly capable of suppressing the powers of others—Roran is isolated from his peers and forbidden from training. No one can teach him. No one trusts him. And even he doesn’t know what he’s becoming.
When a deadly force stirs in the ancient ruins beyond the basin, Roran must master the void threatening to consume him… or risk losing everything.
Voidheart is the first book in an exciting new progression fantasy series, perfect for fans of Cradle, Iron Prince, and Academy of Magic. Expect a weak-to-strong hero, a unique suppression-based magic system, ancient mysteries, and creatures born from starlight and shadow.

Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
When a kingdom trembles between two warring gods, even small talents can carry unexpected weight.

Will he tap into a hidden heritage to defeat an ancient enemy?
The Crafter's Son is the engaging first book in The Crafter Chronicles epic fantasy series. If you like complex and relatable characters, rich story arcs, and imaginative world-building, then you’ll love Matthew B. Berg’s coming-of-age tale.
“I read a lot of this type of book and really enjoyed the world the author created. Very believable. As mentioned in another review, this book is mostly a beginning to a longer saga. But a very enjoyable beginning. It was well written and well edited. . . . Looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this.”
"I’ve read [The Crafter's Son] and it’s terrific! [Berg] writes beautifully and, if you love epic fantasy like he obviously does, you will love the story line. Eddings meets Tolkien with some Tad Williams influences as well."
"Classic Fantasy . . . Reminded me of fantasy books that I read when I first started out . . . Will buy the 2nd one"

In a world where magic is ordinary, being powerless is a sentence to invisibility.

About the book
A seaside Victorian. A skeptical artist. A cat with secrets. And a murder that won’t stay buried…
When struggling artist Emily Harper inherits a charming but creaky Victorian on the rugged coast of Maine, she expects a fresh start—what she doesn’t expect is cryptic notes, eerie visions, and a cat with an uncanny sense for trouble.
But nothing unsettles her more than the bracelet. A striking piece of tourmaline jewelry left behind in the house, it sends shivers up her spine whenever she wears it. At first, she chalks it up to stress—until she visits West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and is struck by a chilling vision of a man begging for his life. The next day, his body is found.
With a storm brewing, long-buried secrets rising to the surface, and a killer who will do anything to keep the past hidden, Emily must embrace the unexplainable—or risk becoming the next victim.
Fans of Ellery Adams and Carolyn Hart will love this twisty, atmospheric paranormal cozy mystery full of seaside charm, ghostly intrigue, and a heroine who refuses to back down—no matter how haunted her past may be.

Our take
He appeared friendly, dependable, and ordinary, which made the violence harder to see.

About the book
The twelve-year rampage of "Missoula Mauler" Wayne Nance—and the shocking end to his murder spree
To his neighbors, Wayne Nance, a furniture mover from Missoula, Montana, appeared to be an affable, considerate, and trustworthy guy. No one knew that Nance was the "Missoula Mauler," a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986.
Nance's only requirement for murder was accessibility—a preacher's wife, a teenage runaway, a female acquaintance, a married couple. Putting on a friendly façade, he could easily gain his victims' trust. Then, one September night, thirty-year-old Nance pushed his luck, preying on a couple who lived to tell the tale.
A true story with an incredible twist, written by former Wall Street Journal editor John Coston and complete with photos, To Kill and Kill Again reveals the disturbing compulsions of a charming serial killer who fooled everyone he knew, stumped the authorities, terrified a community, and nearly got away with it.

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year
A Barnes & Noble Best YA Book of the Year
Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa are the Boneless Mercies—girls hired to kill quickly, quietly, and mercifully. But Frey is weary of the death trade and, having been raised on the heroic sagas of her people, dreams of a bigger life.
When she hears of an unstoppable monster ravaging a nearby town, Frey decides this is the Mercies' one chance out. The fame and fortune of bringing down such a beast would ensure a new future for all the Mercies. In fact, her actions may change the fate of women everywhere.
Full of fierce girls, bloodlust, tenuous alliances, and unapologetic quests for glory, this elegantly spun tale challenges the power of storytelling—and who gets to be the storyteller . . .
Perfect for fans of Maggie Stiefvater, V.E. Schwab, and Heidi Heilig.
"It's easy to call this a gender-swapped retelling of the epic Beowulf, but that fails to convey its true charm . . . There is room in this world for more than one epic, and we can hope that Tucholke will return to it to tell us more about this ongoing feud." —NPR.org
"Tucholke injects close intimacy into her lush saga, interweaving love and murder, mercy and glory into her portrayal of life and death. It is a beautiful, haunting modern-day epic that stars a bold and resourceful sisterhood of heroines unafraid to claim agency." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Our take
Fame offers freedom until it begins to feel like a cage. In When in Rome, a burned-out pop star hides in a small Kentucky town and collides with a guarded baker who wants nothing to do with her spotlight.

“This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com.”—Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone
ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.
When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own.
Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more.
Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes the second book in the devilishly steamy Seasons of Carnage trilogy where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense—and where love is ripe for ruin.
It’s time to reap what you sow.
Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they’re ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn’t who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the center of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead. Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unraveling.
Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she’s falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she’s vowed to protect? He’s become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.
Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.
Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.
