About the book
Penned by an actual private detective, this stunningly addictive series will be your new obsession.
Private Investigator Mackenzie August moves to Roanoke to start over.
So does a criminal kingpin nicknamed The General.
The town isn't big enough...
After years as a Los Angeles homicide detective, Mackenzie August has traded flashing lights for quiet streets, single fatherhood, and the occasional dull PI job. But peace doesn’t last long. When Sheriff Andie Stackhouse shows up with a folder of murdered girls and a plea for help, Mackenzie finds himself drawn into a case that’s equal parts tragedy and trap.
The victims are young. The killings are savage. And the trail leads straight into the halls of a local high school, where a rising gang leader known only as *the General* is recruiting soldiers and burying secrets.
Against his better judgment, Mackenzie poses as a teacher, pushing his cover story to the limit. Between the dangerous charms of a beautiful attorney named Ronnie, and the deadly cat-and-mouse hunt unfolding around him, Mackenzie must confront what he left behind in Los Angeles: the part of himself that’s willing to break the rules to do what’s right.
Tough, funny, and unflinchingly human, August Origins delivers everything readers crave in a detective series—crackling dialogue, heart, and a hero who can throw a punch and quote Shakespeare in the same breath.

After he is betrayed and shoots the two most powerful men in the Irish Mob, John “Reaper” Kane is forced into hiding. He thinks Retribution, Arizona, is the perfect hiding place, but he is wrong. Underneath the old, crusty surface of the dying town, hides the Montoya Cartel, for they use it as a funnel to ship their drugs across the border.

Things go from bad to worse when Kane is arrested by Cleaver, the deputy in the cartel’s pocket, for shooting a local gang member.
Enter DEA Agent Luis Ferrero who has expressed to his bosses for a long time the need for a task force to fight the cartels on their own ground. He’s about to get his wish, and to head up his team, he wants the Reaper.
A thrill ride that doesn’t let you go – Retribution is the first novel in the action-packed Reaper Series.

About the book
Former FBI Special Agent Kade Black is wanted for a crime he didn’t commit. The kind of crime handled outside the normal courts of law. Renditions. Interrogations. A cryptic trail left by a dead Russian double agent is his only hope.
When the trail leads him to the rugged Oregon coast in his battered RV, Kade isn't the only surprise for the sleepy little town. There's a body on the beach. Signs of a horrific ritual killing. Kade soon discovers he's the only one who can solve this grisly murder.
Meanwhile, his former colleagues, an elite FBI surveillance unit, are closing in. He's got little time to solve the murder and collect the evidence he needs to prove his innocence.
But inside him, a devil stirs. One that threatens to change his quest for justice into pure revenge. This new case will awaken the dark legacy haunting him. Remind him of the unforgiving world he was born to behind the walls of a remote militia compound known only as Fort Black.
Will Kade stay loyal to his oath? Or will he succumb to the vengeful blood running through his veins?
Either way, one thing is certain: with vigilante Kade Black on the hunt, the guilty will pay.

Brandon Sanderson's Rhythm of War meets Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time in this epic fantasy mystery adventure.

For centuries, the Aobians of the Great Tree have shared the continent of Q’ara with humanity. A select few known as Sleepers are empowered by Luminosity, the Tree’s greatest blessing.

Elsewhere on Q’ara, an unknown organisation seeks to weaponise Luminosity for their own nefarious purposes. Drift himself is a part of this puzzle, and it quickly becomes apparent that the struggle for true power in Q’ara is emerging for reasons greater than anyone is prepared to grasp.

About the book
Edgar Bryce thought his war was over. Then he heard the signal.
Once a decorated soldier, Bryce now roams the stars as a freelance prospector, trading danger for solitude. The battles may be behind him, but peace has never come easy. He’s drifting until a strange signal pulls him off course.
A hidden transmission. A plea for help. A distress call from human prisoners long thought lost.
The authorities won’t act. Peace is too fragile. Diplomats would rather look away. But Bryce remembers what it means to wear the uniform and the unspoken vow that comes with it.
He’ll have to do the impossible: form a team, cross the border, and bring them home.
Because some promises don’t expire. And some missions… choose you.

About the book
A broke college grad with bad luck. A demon who refuses to leave my couch.
I was just trying to manifest some abundance. Light a candle, chant a little, maybe get lucky with rent money.
Instead, I woke up to six feet of smug, tattooed demon lounging in my living room, eating my cereal and mocking my life choices.
Apparently, I signed some kind of contract, and now he can’t leave until he fulfills a “favor.” Which, so far, has meant reorganizing my kitchen, sabotaging my dating apps, and making suggestive comments every time I so much as look at him.
Asmodeus is arrogant, ridiculously hot, and way too domestic for someone who claims to be an ancient being of darkness. And the longer he sticks around, the more suspicious I get.
Because his idea of a “favor” doesn’t look like torment at all. It looks a lot like trying to win my heart.

Blood Red Snow is a strong fit for readers interested in World War II memoirs, Eastern Front combat, soldier diaries, and firsthand accounts of survival.
Blood Red Snow
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Gunter Koschorrek's forbidden wartime diary chronicles his experiences as a German machine-gunner on the Eastern Front, from initial training through the brutal battles of Stalingrad to assignments in Romania and Italy, with a 4.4-star rating from more than 7,800 Amazon reviewers. Blood Red Snow is a strong fit for readers interested in World War II memoirs, Eastern Front combat, soldier diaries, and firsthand accounts of survival.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A German soldier recounts his experience serving along the deathly cold Eastern Front, fighting the Russian army in World War II.
Gnter Koschorrek wrote his illicit diary on any scraps of paper he could lay his hands on, storing them with his mother on infrequent trips home on leave. The diary went missing, and it was not until he was reunited with his daughter in America some forty years later that it came to light and became Blood Red Snow.
The author's excitement at the first encounter with the enemy in the Russian Steppe is obvious. Later, the horror and confusion of fighting in the streets of Stalingrad are brought to life by his descriptions of the others in his unit, their differing manners and techniques for dealing with the squalor and death. He is also posted to Romania and Italy, assignments he remembers fondly compared to his time on the Eastern Front.
This book stands as a memorial to the huge numbers on both sides who did not survive and is, some six decades later, the fulfilment of a responsibility the author feels to honor the memory of those who perished.

About the book
From the author of The Brighter the Light comes a haunting tale of hope that spans generations, intertwining the lives of three women who fight for survival in 1940s France and present-day Virginia.
At twenty-five, Ruby Nevins has already endured more than most. But after two years of battling cancer, she’s warily determined to move forward. Researching a new project about a French actress, she soon uncovers an old diary that will change her life forever…
Cécile, the “it” girl of early 1940s French cinema, vanished from Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942. Sylvia Rousseau, Cécile’s dressmaker and confidante, left that same year. Working to piece together the truth behind Cécile’s disappearance and Sylvia’s extraordinary life, Ruby recognizes the women as kindred spirits. They risked their hearts and lives to aid the Resistance, and each day was a struggle to survive.
Ruby knows her cancer could come back, but she’s learning to embrace the future rather than fear it. If Cécile and Sylvia could live their lives in the shadow of death, so can Ruby. Because she knows there’s so much life—and love—to fight for.

About the book
A New York Times bestselling author, National Book Award finalist, and “one of our greatest living writers” (Shondaland) reimagines the love story in this fresh and seductive novel about a young woman seeking joy while healing from loss.
Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again.
It’s been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she’s almost a new person now—an artist with her own studio and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it’s time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career.
She’s even started dating the perfect guy, but their new relationship might be sabotaged before it has a chance by the overwhelming desire Feyi feels every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits—his father.
This new life she asked for just got a lot more complicated, and Feyi must begin her search for real answers. Who is she ready to become? Can she release her past and honor her grief while still embracing her future? And, of course, there’s the biggest question of all—how far is she willing to go for a second chance at love? Akwaeke Emezi’s vivid and passionate writing takes us deep into a world of possibility and healing, and the constant bravery of choosing love against all odds.

Choose your retailer
About the book
When a cold case in Texas leads to a sinister string of disappearances, a newcomer to the small town helps a detective piece together the clues in this new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.
Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city and the daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas and has moved to the small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her dog, Huck, discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer search-and-rescue mission, she’s perplexed, but she carefully photographs it all the same.
All Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city slicker—with her designer jeans and shiny car—who has no business on a serious team made of seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells him of her findings on the trail, he sees there’s more to her than meets the eye.
Ava’s discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the campsite further, another woman disappears under odd circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and their own electric chemistry to solve the case.

A disgraced presidential candidate dies and leaves behind a final command that refuses to make sense.
Cleave the Sparrow
Dystopian · Sci-Fi
Our take
A disgraced presidential candidate dies and leaves behind a final command that refuses to make sense. In the aftermath, his apprentice Tom and ruthless campaign manager Shelly follow a trail that bends satire into philosophy and politics into farce. As reality fractures, certainty becomes the enemy. Cleave the Sparrow is a darkly comic literary novel that interrogates power, belief, and the stories people tell to survive chaos.

"Pushes satire to the absolute limit, and then some."
—The Independent Review of Books
Wilder Crick, the worst presidential candidate in history, is dead.
Now his reluctant apprentice Tom and ruthless campaign manager Shelly must carry out his final order—a bizarre, posthumous search for the true, hidden nature of reality.
"Some books tell a story," writes Literary Titan's Priscilla Evans. "Others drag you into a chaotic, unrelenting experience that scrambles your brain and leaves you questioning everything. Cleave The Sparrow is for people who enjoy satire so sharp it draws blood, philosophy so deep it makes your head hurt, and humor so dark you feel guilty laughing. It’s for fans of Catch-22, Infinite Jest, and Dr. Strangelove. It’s for anyone who has ever looked at the world and thought: This can’t be real. Because maybe, just maybe, it isn’t."
TL;DR: Darkly comic, wildly original, and impossible to forget, Cleave the Sparrow is for readers who crave mind-bending fiction that makes you laugh, wince, and question everything you thought was real.
