Eldritch
Romantasy · Fantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
The mortal world rots under a curse that feeds on flesh and fractures the mind. In Eldritch, Maevyth and Zevander cross perilous lands to break an ancient power tightening its grip on both realms, even as Zevander’s dwindling magic pulls him toward madness. This gothic dark fantasy deepens its character-driven tension with a slow-burn romance and an atmosphere steeped in dread.

About the book
In the grimly captivating sequel to Anathema, Maevyth and Zevander must navigate the perilous mortal lands to deliver Zevander from the clutches of an ancient, malevolent power that threatens to shatter both worlds
An eldritch magic has awakened, turning the mortal world darker. Colder. Famished. With flesh-eating monsters and a sinister curse spreading like a plague, the last glimmer of humanity in Foxglove Parish has long-since faded.
For Maevyth and Zevander, the only chance of escape is through The Eating Woods. But fate has woven a new web, tangling the threads of destiny, and crossing the mystical boundary to Aethyria might not be so simple.
As the bones of Maevyth’s past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.
Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.
Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.
Eldritch is a full-length, gothic dark fantasy, the second book in The Eating Woods trilogy. Perfect for readers who enjoy a character-driven and atmospheric story with a unique magic system, a slow-burn romance and a touch of horror.

Something's Wrong With Maddie opens with a love that refuses to accept death, even after a blood ritual brings back something unrecognizable.
Something’s Wrong With Maddie
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Sports Romance
Our take
Something's Wrong With Maddie opens with a love that refuses to accept death, even after a blood ritual brings back something unrecognizable. Piper hides her undead girlfriend from neighbors and police as hunger turns devotion into complicity. This sapphic horror novel fuses dark romance, splatterpunk gore, and grief-fueled obsession into a story where love becomes both lifeline and liability.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maddie died. Piper refused to accept it.
One blood ritual later and Maddie is back—undead, starving and nothing close to resembling human. Despite her deceased girlfriend reeking of rotting flesh, Piper decides she’ll do anything to keep her zombie girlfriend: lie to suspicious neighbors, outwit a nosy cop, and make sure the apartment complex’s missing-person flyers don’t point to their kitchen.
As scraps of the old Maddie surface, so do the hunger pangs. The body count begins to pile up, and Piper has to decide what she's willing to do to keep her girlfriend fed.
Part sapphic dark romance, part black-comedy horror, Something’s Wrong With Maddie is a gore-slick tale of grief, obsession, and devotion with sharp splatterpunk bite, body-horror set pieces, and a love story that refuses to die—even when it really should.

Choose your retailer
About the book
For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black, The Forest King's Daughter is an enemies-to-forbidden-lovers romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Frostblood.
Once upon a time, among the bloodred trees of Thirstwood, a young forest princess became friends with a lonely boy from underground. He gifted her an amber ring, a worthless trinket—or so he thought—because no sooner did he slide it onto her finger than the queen of the underground and the forest king declared war.
Years later, Cassia is a crucial force in her father’s army, wielding her ring of light that can blind and disorient hundreds of enemies at a time. Then, battle-hardened Zeru abducts her, planning to steal the ring back to fix his costly childhood mistake. Exhausted, terrified, and more than a little mistrusting, Cassia is forced to travel with Zeru to a place they both believed only existed in storybooks, one where their childhood friendship slowly rekindles into something much more. But it's only a matter of time before the war they escaped comes for them, and a hidden threat to forest and underground folk alike grows in the shadows.
From the author of the Frostblood Saga comes the first book in an enchanting, adventure-filled fantasy series about the daughters of the powerful forest king, sure to leave readers breathless and desperate for more.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Alissa Lewis is looking for more than just inspiration… she needs an escape.
After being unceremoniously fired from the newspaper she where worked for years, Alissa feels lost and uncertain. On a whim, she books a getaway to a literary themed B&B near a small beachfront town called Blueberry Bay.
She’s hoping a change of scenery will give her a fresh start, and from the moment she arrives, she’s enchanted by the beautiful landscapes and friendly people. As luck would have it, an opportunity to extend her stay arises when she finds out that the local paper is hiring. There’s only one problem—the man who runs it is as grumpy as he is intriguing.
Dane Taylor is from New York, and unlike Alissa, he’s skeptical of the peaceful charm small-town life has to offer. But as the two of them begin to work together, Alissa realizes they have more in common than she first thought. And as Dane reveals his softer side, feelings start to develop that neither of them expected.
Shaking things up even more, Alissa’s twin sister Caitlin pays a surprise visit and admits that her marriage is in trouble.
As the sisters lean on each other through the changes and challenges they face, Alissa realizes she’s at a crossroads between the life she thought she wanted and the true meaning of happiness.
She thought Blueberry Bay would be her escape, but instead, it’s starting to feel a lot like... home.
Nestled against the beautiful New England town of Whale Harbor, Blueberry Bay is a cozy coastal town with sandy beaches and a cast of characters who’ll make you laugh, smile, and be swept away. If you enjoy clean romance and stories that celebrate family and friendship, this series is for you!

About the book
"Fine adventure" in the complete New York Times–bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do'Urden (Terry Brooks).
This "worthy, entertaining addition to fantasy literature" tells the epic saga of a righteous warrior/avenger who battles an evil wizard, dragons, and cyclopean armies to liberate an imperiled kingdom (Starlog).
The Sword of Bedwyr: Luthien Bedwyr vows to rescue the beleaguered land of Eriador from the evil reign of Wizard-King Greensparrow. But first Luthien must secure two weapons from a dragon's lair: a legendary sword and a blood-red cape that renders its wearer invisible. Aided by a halfling thief, an ancient mage, and a beautiful elf slave, Luthien prepares for insurgence as the Crimson Shadow.
Luthien's Gamble: With the rallying support of enslaved humans, defiant peasants, and Fairborn elves, Luthien has forged a path for the freedom of his kingdom as the avenging Crimson Shadow. But when his tyrannical adversary makes a bid for peace by calling back his army of cyclops, Luthien suspects the evil wizard is setting a trap.
The Dragon King: Luthien Bedwyr's alter ego wields a magical sword and wears a scarlet cape that renders him invisible. But his greatest enemy, the evil Wizard-King, has a counterpart of his own: an unstoppable, bloodthirsty colossus of a dragon. Now the ultimate battle for a kingdom will reach its spellbinding endgame in the rousing finale to a trilogy "filled with memorable characters and compelling action" (Terry Brooks).

Deviant revisits the quiet Wisconsin farm where ordinary appearances concealed a decade of horror.
Deviant
Biographies & Memoirs · True Crime
Our take
Deviant revisits the quiet Wisconsin farm where ordinary appearances concealed a decade of horror. Harold Schechter traces Ed Gein’s life, crimes, and the warped fantasies that reshaped American true crime history. Moving beyond myth and movie legend, this account examines the psychology, isolation, and cultural aftermath of a killer whose violence still unsettles the national imagination.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the author of “top-drawer true crime” (Booklist) books comes the definitive account of Ed Gein—the man whose shocking crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.
The year was 1957. To his Wisconsin neighbors, Ed Gein was a slight, Midwestern farmhand with a twisted little smile. To an unsuspecting nation, he would become one of the most notorious crime figures in history, having lived for ten years in his own secret world of brutal murder and unthinkable depravity.
Here is the grisly true story of “the Butcher of Plainfield,” a deranged killer whose fiendish fantasies inspired such works as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. More horrifying than any movie or novel however, Deviant dares to explore in chilling detail the life and times of one of the most twisted madmen in the annals of true crime—one who still haunts us to this day—and how he transformed his small, nondescript farmhouse in the American heartland into his own private and inescapable domain of ghoulishness and blood.

About the book
Welcome to the Estates at Chestnut Lake, home of perfect lawns, matching houses, and an inconvenient murder or two.
This hilarious and compelling whodunit mystery has the “crime close to home” feel of Only Murders in the Building and is perfect for readers who loved Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect and Finlay Donovan Is Killing It.
Brad Hanson’s life in his suburban Atlanta subdivision is unremarkable. He investigates insurance fraud, which is as dull as it sounds, though if he’s able to get a good bonus this year, his wife, Rhonda, will finally get to have her new kitchen. His highest achievement in life is being secretary and de facto parliamentarian on the homeowners association board, which is the center of all the neighborhood drama.
As frustrating—and heated—as the arguments over tennis court resurfacing and dog droppings may be, much like his subdivision compatriots, Brad would never kill a neighbor, but… he might enjoy thinking about it from time to time. (Who hasn’t?)
When someone murders cranky old Inga Oskarsdotter—a frequent source of complaints to the HOA board—a literal smoking gun turns Brad into the chief suspect. But Brad is not waiting around to be arrested—after all, he is an investigator by trade—and he takes it upon himself to find the real killer. Then the body count starts to rise.
One thing is sure: A murderer on the block is not good for property values.

About the book
A case of corporate espionage forces a psychic detective to go on the run in this action-thriller for fans of James Rollins, Brad Thor & Douglas Preston.
"Part James Bond, part Jason Bourne, part Professor X, only smarter, wittier, and can run faster. Adrenaline action at its mind-reading best. Christopher Farnsworth's Killfile unleashes the greatest weapon ever: the human mind." —Beau Smith, creator/writer of Wynonna Earp
John Smith has a special gift that seems more like a curse: he can access other people's thoughts. He hears the songs stuck in their heads, knows their most private traumas and fears, and relives the painful memories they can't let go of. The CIA honed his skills until he was one of their most powerful operatives, but John fled the Agency and now works as a private consultant, trying to keep the dark potential of his gift in check—and himself out of trouble.
Unfortunately, John is unexpectedly plunged into dangerous waters when his latest client, billionaire software genius Everett Sloan, hires him to investigate a former employee—a tech whiz kid named Eli Preston—and search his thoughts for some very valuable intellectual property he's stolen. Before John can probe Preston's mind, however, his identity is compromised and he's on the run for his life, with Sloan's young associate, Kelsey.
Hunted by shadowy enemies with extensive resources and unknown motives, John and Kelsey must go off the grid. John knows their only hope for survival is his powers, and he'll have to use them to their fullest—even if it means putting his own sanity at risk.
"Fast, fun, and frenetic. A whip-smart edge-of-your-seat thriller." —Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One
"[An] unusually compelling hero. . . . [A] clever, offbeat thriller." —Kirkus Reviews
"A thrill ride worthy of an amusement park or a movie screen." —Kings River Life Magazine

My Corpse Has a Heartbeat
Horror
Our take
My Corpse Has a Heartbeat begins with a devoted family man who also happens to be a serial killer struggling to keep his two lives from colliding. Turner Blake believes he has perfected the balance between suburban normalcy and violent compulsion, until anonymous notes threaten to expose him. This psychological horror novel immerses readers in a fractured mind unraveling under pressure, where domestic love and bloodlust compete for control.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Turner Blake loves his wife and children just as much as he enjoys killing people. Balancing date nights and birthday parties with chainsaw chases and shooting sprees is no easy task, but he thinks he's found the perfect system.
When mysterious notes threaten to expose him, he must leash his addiction or risk losing those closest to him. Turner soon realizes old habits die hard as his sanity and his family's safety spiral out of control.
MY CORPSE HAS A HEARTBEAT puts you in the mind of a killer at a crossroad. Deeply disturbing and darkly funny, this unfiltered narrative is as morally fractured as the man telling it and the society that continues to listen.

Maggie Moves On
Romance
Our take
Maggie Moves On opens with a woman who builds dream homes for others while refusing to settle in one herself. Maggie Nichols arrives in small-town Idaho to restore a crumbling Victorian on camera, focused on deadlines and distance. But easygoing landscaper Silas Wright unsettles her careful plans, turning a summer project into a romance that challenges her fear of staying. A contemporary romance about roots, risk, and emotional renovation.

About the book
Can these opposites turn up the heat... without burning down the house?
House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can't wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn't have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless...sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she's not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she's spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He's the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?
