About the book
The bestselling Stone Brothers series is back with a brand new generation!
How can someone so incredible be stuck with so much baggage?
When I saw the beautiful woman and her scone surrounded by rude, greedy gulls, I jumped in to save her. I never expected for her to steal my heart, but steal it, she did.
Only one problem … and it’s a big, dangerous one. Shay Kennedy is married to an undeserving man who rules her life with an iron fist. Dad warned me it was none of my business, but my need to protect Shay is too strong to resist.
My resolve to solve my own problems is tested when a determined hero insists on being part of the chaos.
Griffin Stone is everything I’ve dreamed of, but I’m married to a nightmare, and breaking free is never easy. Tate is controlling, abusive and his mental health grows more unstable each day. He refuses to get help, and I know my time is running out.
The last thing I want is to drag Griffin into my messy life, but aside from being drop-dead gorgeous, he is stubborn. When my marriage takes a dramatic turn that I never saw coming, all I can do is hope that Griffin will be waiting on the other side … if and when I make it through.
Griffin Stone is Colt & Jade’s son, and he carries with him the fiercely protective, deeply loving traits that you loved in Stone Cold Bad.

Town of Shadows
Steampunk · Romantasy
Our take
In Victorian London, magic earns a noose, and Dorothy St. James can barely control hers.

About the book
“Town of Shadows kept me on my toes and up way too late. This engrossing historical fantasy brings a great twist on forbidden magic, has characters that are deliciously complicated, and a hard charging plot with plenty of twists. One of the best new series I’ve read in a very long time! Fans of Charlie N. Holmberg and Luanne G. Smith will want to hop on board this Victorian train.” — Jeff Wheeler, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Invisible College series
In Victorian London, magic earns you a noose.
Eighteen-year-old Dorothy St. James can’t control her magic. To avoid arrest, she locks herself at home and buries her nose in her experiments. But a kidnapper called the Rook is on the loose, and his victims keep turning up insane. When Dorothy’s father is taken, she must exchange her beakers for bravery and find the Rook’s trail—the problem is, only one person ever has: a mysterious masked hero.
Ashley Gardner unabashedly casts illusions, using his charm to flit between the upper ton and the magical underbelly below. When Dorothy accuses him of knowing the masked hero’s identity, he flatly denies it. Until the clever beauty intercepts a communique he desperately needs.
They strike a bargain: she’ll give him the message in exchange for three clues to point her in the right direction. But Ashley won’t make them easy. In fact, he’ll make them impossible, because he has his own dangerous reasons for keeping Dorothy away—and Ashley always gets what he wants.
Through dazzling ballets, wild carnivals, and death-defying train rides, Dorothy must use her wits and magic to solve Ashley’s riddles and unravel her budding feelings for the illusionist mastermind behind them. The masked hero isn’t who she believes, and the Rook is closer than she suspects. While the game was always rigged against her, returning her father—mind intact—might just cheat her out of a heart too.

What Happened In London
Fantasy · Paranormal Fantasy · Urban Fantasy
Our take
When six children vanish near a dark river, DS Adams follows a case that defies logic and police training alike. Armed with stubborn resolve and strange clues, she confronts a threat that challenges everything she believes. An urban fantasy crime novel by Kim M. Watt, blending investigation, unease, and unsettling mystery.

About the book
Baton. Light. Chocolate. Duck.
This is not DS Adams’ usual kit. This is not DS Adams’ usual case. She doesn’t think it’s anyone’s usual case, not with the vanishing children and the looming bridge and the hungry river. Not with the snap-snap-snap.
But six kids are missing, and she’s not going to let there be a seventh. Not on her watch. And she knows how to handle human monsters, after all. How different can this really be?
So: Baton. Light. Chocolate. And the bloody duck.
Let’s be having you, then.
What Happened in London is the story of how not-yet-DI Adams came to Toot Hansell, the village at the centre of the Beaufort Scales cozy mysteries. It is not, however, a cozy mystery. Urban fantasy with a good dose of humour, snark, and ducks, this is the story of one detective who's determined to follow the evidence wherever it takes her, even when it contradicts everything she knows to be real.
For Beaufort readers, this is a much darker story. There is some violence, but none of it graphic, and there is no strong language, although there is some blasphemy.
And the snap-snap-snap ...

Our take

About the book
A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor!
"The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead" in this big-hearted, boundlessly beautiful romp through the Apocalypse, where a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive Seattle's zombie problem (Karen Joy Fowler, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author).
S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos ®.
But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies—from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis—fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators.
Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV.

Our take
When a breakthrough energy source triggers earthquakes and tectonic disasters, Kurt Austin and the NUMA team race to stop catastrophe.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Clive Cussler, author of the bestselling Dirk Pitt series, and his co-author, Graham Brown, send hero Kurt Austin into the heart of the storm in the action-packed NUMA Files series.
A new energy source holds the promise to change the world. If it doesn't kill it first.
It's called zero point energy - a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however . . . until one scientist does.
The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them - and soon - the world will be on the threshold of a new era of catastrophe and unchecked volcanism.

About the book
A BAND OF REBELS.
A TRAITOR IN THEIR MIDST.
A REVOLUTION ABOUT TO BEGIN.
It's been three years since Aren seized the Ember Blade. Three years since they struck the spark they hoped would ignite the revolution. But the flame has failed to catch. The Krodans have crushed Ossia in an iron grip of terror. The revolution seems further away than ever.
Far in the north, the Dawnwardens seek to unite the fractious clans of the Fell Folk and create a stronghold from which to retake their land. But even if they can overcome the danger of treachery from within, they still have to contend with the dreadknights. Only the druidess Vika can resist these near-unstoppable foes, and there's only one of her.
But what if there was a weapon that could destroy the dreadknights? A weapon of such power it could turn the tide? A weapon that, if it fell into the wrong hands, might mean the end of all hope?
The Shadow Casket has returned from out of the past, and it will save or damn them all.

About the book
★Booklist ★Bookpage ★The Bulletin ★Publishers Weekly ★Shelf Awareness ★SLC ★SLJ “CRUCIAL.” —The New York Times Book Review In the rubble of a broken continent, a girl must solve a mystery whose answers could rebuild her family—or break her completely, in this New York Times bestselling, critically acclaimed tour de force historical novel from Monica Hesse, author of Girl in the Blue Coat. Germany, 1945. The soldiers who liberated the Gross-Rosen concentration camp say the war is over, but nothing feels over to eighteen-year-old Zofia Lederman. Her body has barely begun to heal, her mind feels broken. And her life is completely shattered: Three years ago, she and her younger brother, Abek, were the only members of their family to be sent to the right, away from the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Everyone else—her parents, her grandmother, radiant Aunt Maja—they went left. Zofia's last words to her brother were a promise: Abek to Zofia, A to Z. When I find you again, we will fill our alphabet. Now her journey to fulfill that vow takes her through Poland and Germany, into a displaced persons camp where everyone she meets is trying to piece together a future from a painful past: Miriam, desperately searching for the twin she was separated from after they survived medical experimentation. Breine, a former heiress, who now longs only for a simple wedding with her new fiancé. And Josef, who guards his past behind a wall of secrets, and is beautiful and strange and magnetic all at once. But the deeper Zofia digs, the more impossible her search seems. How can she find one boy in a sea of the missing? “This is not just a story about death and survival—it’s also about choosing to live on, even in the face of genocide, trauma and devastating loss. And what could be more relevant to our world today?” —Sharon Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Light in Hidden Places, writing in The New York Times "A heartbreaking, gorgeously written story...The ending left me breathless and awed by its expression of enduring love."―Jewell Parker Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Boys
