When six children vanish near a dark river, DS Adams follows a case that defies logic and police training alike.
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 ...

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.

Faction Wars erupt on the ninth floor as nine armies battle for a central castle and death becomes permanent.
This Inevitable Ruin
Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Faction Wars erupt on the ninth floor as nine armies battle for a central castle and death becomes permanent. With the AI failing and NPCs gaining awareness, Carl and his allies finally strike back. Strategy, betrayal, and survival collide as only one of them can move on. Book seven of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series raises the stakes to all out war.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The time has come! Book seven in the bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series is here!
They call it Faction Wars.
The ninth floor.
Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very center of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal... It all makes for great fun and even greater television.
After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they’re playing war.
Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground.
As the AI continues its rapid decline, Carl and company take advantage of the chaos. For the first time ever, the crawlers are fighting back. They are now one of the nine teams. And this season, there’s a tenth army on the playing field. The NPCs, who are normally used as nothing but cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and formed a team of their own.
For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. Only one of them will be allowed to leave this level.
If they all want to survive, they’re going to need a little help from a veteran or two.
This is it.
This is what they’ve been fighting toward.
This is war.
This inevitable ruin.

On the eighth floor of the dungeon, Carl and Donut face a shattered map of Earth’s final days, forgotten gods, and monsters drawn from human legend.
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
On the eighth floor of the dungeon, Carl and Donut face a shattered map of Earth’s final days, forgotten gods, and monsters drawn from human legend. To survive, they must capture powerful beings turned into living weapons. But the deadliest of all is the Bedlam Bride, a monster whose gaze threatens sanity itself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.
It is bedlam on the eighth floor.
As management reels from the unexpected conclusion of the seventh level, the surviving crawlers stumble onto the eighth and find themselves scattered. It’s a map based on Earth’s final days before the collapse, where ethereal, intangible ghosts of humanity go about their lives, oblivious of the impending doom. Living amongst these ghosts are monsters based in Earth lore. “Legendary” creatures tied to the geographical location they inhabit.
Each team of crawlers is given a task: find and capture six of these beasts. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. Cards that can be summoned into battle again and again. The stronger, the deadlier, the better.
At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it’s crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible.
But, like always, there is a catch. There’s always a catch.
As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn’t mean they have been tamed.
Her name is Shi Maria. She’s easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. But she is no ordinary beast. She’s intelligent. She was once married to a god, a god who is now missing. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride.
“Beware, beware. Beware the Eye of the Bedlam Bride”

About the book
Power is never granted… it can only be seized.
BLOOD AND EMPIRE begins best-selling author James Maxwell’s long-awaited new epic fantasy series, THE GATEWAY SAGA—a gripping tale of ambition, sacrifice, and defiance in the face of destiny.
Young seamstress Bethany dreams of becoming a diviner, one of the select few able to navigate the mysterious gateways that unite the empire. But without wealth or education, and only her mother to raise her, she is on a path to disappointment.
Then Bethany meets Charlton, a cleric, who offers her books and guidance, and she glimpses a life she had thought unreachable. Her problems grow, however, when her ambitions draw attention and her father re-enters her life, confronting her with a past she still needs to come to terms with.
As invasion threatens the empire, and intrigue and betrayal create fault lines amongst the highest circles, Bethany must learn to master both powerful forces and herself, in order to confront the darkness within her own bloodline—and save the empire from itself.

Jack Atlas expects retirement, not a divine deathtrap where gods force assassins into lethal trials.
Tower of Jack
Fantasy · LitRPG
Our take
Jack Atlas expects retirement, not a divine deathtrap where gods force assassins into lethal trials. Trapped inside the Tower and hunted by a ruthless cult, Jack survives on arrogance, skill, and stubborn refusal to die quietly. Monsters, dungeon punishments, and impossible odds collide in this fast paced fantasy adventure centered on survival and defiance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
He's arrogant. A certified pain in the butt. Maybe just crazy enough to survive.
Jack Atlas, self-proclaimed 'World's Best Assassin', had a simple plan: retire in style and marry the girl of his dreams. Then he gets placed in The Tower—a divine deathtrap where gods pit their creations against each other for the ultimate prize: eternal paradise for you and your friends. The catch? If you lose, well, let's just say your chances of finding a decent bar in oblivion are slim.
Jack, who’s never met a hornet’s nest he didn’t want to kick, soon finds himself on the wrong side of The Black Centipede, a notorious assassin cult with a charming recruitment policy: join or they’ll murder everyone he loves.
Instead of sipping Mai Tai’s on some beach he can’t pronounce; it’s slurping down health potions because he got stabbed by a goblin with a particular fondness for stabbing him in the rear. Heroic quests? Conquer The Tower, appease his assassin overlords, reunite with his dream girl? Nope. Jack instead gets sent to 'dungeon timeout' for bad behavior. That's fine by him.
If anyone’s crazy enough to not just survive, but win against The Tower, it’s Jack.

Losing Wendy
Steampunk · Romantasy
Our take
Cursed by a bargain made before she could choose, Wendy must marry before her twentieth birthday or belong to the Shadow Keeper.

A dark Peter Pan reimagining with fated mates, slow burn enemies to lovers romance, and fae intrigue.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Sometimes the shadows whisper.
Sometimes I whisper back.
When Wendy's parents made a bargain with a Fate to save her from a deathly illness as a child, they thought the terms were simple: Marry her off before her twentieth birthday or else deliver her over to the Shadow Keeper.
But when a Mating Mark appears on Wendy's skin, finding a husband becomes a tad more complicated. After all, no one wants a wife mated to another man.
As Wendy's twentieth birthday approaches and she's yet to find a man who will take her, she and her parents throw a masquerade ball in a last ditch effort to free her from her curse.
But nothing is as it seems, and when a mysterious dark-haired captain with a Mating Mark and a vendetta against Wendy's family crashes the masquerade, Wendy quickly discovers that the fae Shadow Keeper she's been scheming to escape might just be her only hope.
Losing Wendy is a dark fantasy Peter Pan reimagining with fated mates, slow-burn enemies to lovers romance, winged fae, and a chilling mystery haunting Neverland.

Chaos still grips the Hundred as the immortal Guardians remain corrupted and divided.
Shadow Gate
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Chaos still grips the Hundred as the immortal Guardians remain corrupted and divided. Mortals fight on, unaware of the true source of the rot, while three new Guardians rise and ignite a struggle among the gods themselves. Action, romance, and magic collide as the fate of the land hangs in the balance. From bestselling fantasy author Kate Elliott.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The captivating, bestselling Spirit Gate swept readers into the turbulent world of the Hundred, where the peace and order of life under the protection of the immortal Guardians has given way to chaos and violence. In the face of a vast horde of marauders led by a rogue Guardian, the bravery and resourcefulness of a lone eagle-reeve and others who risk their lives for the common good have prevented death and destruction from overwhelming the Hundred.
Now in Shadow Gate, the enthralling sequel, the source of corruption of the Guardians is still a mystery to the mortals who fight to withstand the forces that have turned against them. And when three new Guardians emerge, a struggle begins among the immortals, with nothing less at stake than the future of the land and its gods.
With all the color, excitement, and narrative power that have made Kate Elliott an enormously popular writer, Shadow Gate weaves a powerful spell of action, romance, and magic that will entrance legions of readers.

This is not the fairy tale you remember.
The Salt Grows Heavy

Our take
This is not the fairy tale you remember. After a kingdom burns and her daughters feast on its ruins, a sharp-toothed mermaid flees into a frozen forest with a plague doctor hiding their own sins. What follows is brutal, lyrical, and unsettling—a dark fairy tale that demands its characters embrace monstrosity to survive.

About the book
“Khaw’s poetic prose and stylish approach to gore make it a blood-soaked, unforgettable gem.” —The New York Times
From Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth, comes The Salt Grows Heavy, a razor-sharp and bewitching fairy tale of discovering the darkness in the world, and the darkness within oneself.
A Best Horror Book of 2023 (The New York Times, Library Journal) • A Best Book of 2023 (NPR) • A Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award Finalist! • An Indie Next Pick
You may think you know how the fairy tale goes: a mermaid comes to shore and weds the prince. But what the fables forget is that mermaids have teeth. And now, her daughters have devoured the kingdom and burned it to ashes.
On the run, the mermaid is joined by a mysterious plague doctor with a darkness of their own. Deep in the eerie, snow-crusted forest, the pair stumble upon a village of ageless children who thirst for blood, and the three “saints” who control them.
The mermaid and her doctor must embrace the cruelest parts of their true nature if they hope to survive.
