About the book
In the storm-shadowed streets of New Orleans, something ancient has returned. Detective Carson O’Connor and her partner Michael Maddison are hunting a killer whose victims seem chosen for their humanity because he has none. Each clue leads deeper into a nightmare of science and obsession, where monsters are both man-made and self-made.
Into this darkness steps Deucalion, a tattooed wanderer carrying secrets older than the city itself. His past is bound to the case, to the killer, and to a creator who refuses to die.
From master storyteller Dean Koontz, Frankenstein: Prodigal Son reimagines Mary Shelley’s legend for the modern age, blending thriller, mystery, and gothic horror into a chilling story of creation gone wrong.

A stunning and dark reimagining of Frankenstein told from the point-of-view of Elizabeth Lavenza, who is taken in by the Frankenstein family.
Elizabeth Lavenza hasn't had a proper meal in weeks. Her thin arms are covered with bruises from her "caregiver," and she is on the verge of being thrown into the streets . . . until she is brought to the home of Victor Frankenstein, an unsmiling, solitary boy who has everything—except a friend.
Victor is her escape from misery. Elizabeth does everything she can to make herself indispensable—and it works. She is taken in by the Frankenstein family and rewarded with a warm bed, delicious food, and dresses of the finest silk. Soon she and Victor are inseparable.
But her new life comes at a price. As the years pass, Elizabeth's survival depends on managing Victor's dangerous temper and entertaining his every whim, no matter how depraved. Behind her blue eyes and sweet smile lies the calculating heart of a girl determined to stay alive no matter the cost . . . as the world she knows is consumed by darkness.

Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble centers on the quiet pressure of self-doubt and the fear of being seen.
Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance · RomCom
Our take
Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble centers on the quiet pressure of self-doubt and the fear of being seen. Thrust onto a televised baking competition, Paris finds unexpected connection alongside public scrutiny that amplifies his worst anxieties. As confidence and romance develop unevenly, the novel explores vulnerability, internalized shame, and the emotional cost of believing you must earn your own worth.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material comes a sweet and scrumptious romantic comedy about facing your insecurities, finding love, and baking it off, no matter what people say.
Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster. Despite his passion for baking, his cat, and his classics degree, constant self-doubt and second-guessing have left him a curdled, directionless mess. So when his roommate enters him in Bake Expectations, the nation’s favourite baking show, Paris is sure he’ll be the first one sent home.
But not only does he win week one’s challenge—he meets fellow contestant Tariq Hassan. Sure, he’s the competition, but he’s also cute and kind, with more confidence than Paris could ever hope to have. Still, neither his growing romance with Tariq nor his own impressive bakes can keep Paris’s fear of failure from spoiling his happiness. And when the show’s vicious fanbase confirms his worst anxieties, Paris’s confidence is torn apart quicker than tear-and-share bread.
But if Paris can find the strength to face his past, his future, and the chorus of hecklers that live in his brain, he’ll realize it’s the sweet things in life that he really deserves.

In this definitive account, journalist Tim Cahill reconstructs Gacy’s double life with chilling precision, from an abusive childhood to the compulsions that drove him to murder.

Buried Dreams is a landmark work of true crime—“an absorbing and disturbing story” (Publishers Weekly) and “the stuff of wrenching nightmares” (The Wall Street Journal).

About the book
Winner of a OneBookTwo Standout Award and Semi-finalist in Hugh Howey's inaugural SPSFC
A unique story of a divided population in a false utopia, 'Resistance' is the first book in the completed dystopian trilogy, 'Divided Elements'.
From the moment you are born, you are conditioned to know this truth: Unorthodoxy is wrong action, Heterodoxy is wrong thought. The first will lead to your Detention. The second to your Execution.
A century from now, the walled city-state of a future Paris is enjoying its Golden Age. The horrors of the Singularity forgotten, citizens revel in an intoxicating mix of abandon and apathy made possible by the Orthodoxy—a new world order where everything is engineered for maximum efficiency, including identities. Dividing the population into four neuro-social classes has allowed the government to maintain control and ensure its citizens exist in complete equality, fraternity, and liberty. But, not everyone is satisfied with the status quo.
Anaiya, a Peacekeeper aligned to the single-minded Fire class, has dedicated her life to enforcing the rules. Unlike other citizens, she has extra motivation to prove herself loyal: she’s still tarnished by the legacy of her Heterodox mentor, the infamous Kane 148. So, when forbidden murals start appearing on crumbling walls calling for citizens to rebel, Anaiya will do anything to bring down the growing resistance movement—even if it means sacrificing her identity.
Realigned from her proud Fire identity to an irrational and unpredictable Air, Anaiya goes deep undercover in search of the growing rebellion. But, with her dual nature pulling her in opposite directions and her mind fracturing under the pressure, her convictions waver and her hold on the truth starts to slip. As the city descends into chaos, Anaiya is left with a fatal choice: stay loyal to her mission, or risk it all for her new identity and the resistance that has shown her a different truth.
Utopia comes at a cost. Not everyone is willing to pay the pay the price.
Resistance is the award-winning first book in the dark and subversive dystopian trilogy, Divided Elements.
Perfect for fans of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Pierce Brown’s Red Rising, and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, this stunning debut explores themes of loyalty, identity, betrayal, and resistance against the carnival atmosphere of a dystopian Paris.
If you’re ready to graduate from YA dystopian classics like Divergent and The Gender Game, or are looking for a contemporary tale in the classic style of Zamaytin’s We or Orwell’s 1984, you’ll love Kopievsky’s Resistance.

A psychopath attempts to take over the body of a wounded soldier in this sci-fi thriller from a British Fantasy Award winning author.
Richard Garrison, a Corporal in the British Military Police, loses his sight while trying to save the wife and child of millionaire industrialist Thomas Schroeder from a terrorist bomb.
