About the book
Lancaster County is rocked when a dead infant is discovered in an Amish barn. The evidence points to Katie Fisher, an eighteen-year-old unmarried Amish woman who quietly insists on her innocence. In a community defined by tradition, her alleged crime is unthinkable.
Enter Ellie Hathaway, a weary defense attorney who flees her high-profile city career for a fresh start. But when she’s drawn into Katie’s case, Ellie finds herself trapped between two worlds: a justice system that demands answers and a Plain culture that resists intrusion.
As Ellie searches for truth, she must also confront her own past when an old love resurfaces. In a case where every revelation cuts deeper, the line between guilt and innocence is as fragile as faith itself.

About the book
On Alabama’s Gulf Coast, three Victorian houses sit in the isolated community of Beldame. Two are homes for the Savage and McCray families, places of refuge for the summer. The third house, half-buried beneath a shifting dune of blinding white sand, is different. It has never been lived in, but it has never been empty.
For Dauphin Savage and Luker McCray, childhood memories of the house still bring terror. For the rest of the family, it is a curiosity, until unsettling events turn their summer into a nightmare. Whatever waits inside the third house has killed before, and now it is ready to kill again.
Michael McDowell’s The Elementals is a Southern Gothic masterpiece of horror, hailed by Stephen King as one of the finest paperback originals ever written.

About the book
A THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN
Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.

About the book
Hailed as "a sort of Catcher in the Rye out West," this classic coming-of-age story set during World War II is "a true delight" (Washington Post Book World).
In the summer of 1944, Frank Arnold, a wealthy shipbuilder in Mobile, Alabama, receives his volunteer commission in the U.S. Navy and moves his wife, Ann, and seventeen-year-old son, Josh, to the family's summer home in the village of Corazon Sagrado, high in the New Mexico mountains. A true daughter of the Confederacy, Ann finds it impossible to cope with the quality of life in the largely Hispanic village and takes to playing bridge and drinking. Josh, on the other hand, becomes an integral member of the Sagrado community, forging friendships with his new classmates, with the town's disreputable resident artist, and with Amadeo and Excilda Montoya, the couple hired by his father to care for their house.
Josh narrates the story of his fateful year in Sagrado and, with irresistibly deadpan, irreverent humor, describes the events and people who influence his progress to maturity. Unhindered by his mother's disdain for these "tacky, dusty little Westerners," Josh comes into his own and into a young man's finely formed understanding of duty, responsibility, and love.
"A minor marvel: a novel of paradox, of identity, of an overwhelming YES to life that embraces with wonder what we are pleased to call the human condition. In short, a work of art." —Harper Lee
"A refreshing book, straightforward, funny, touching and . . . true." —New York Times Book Review
"A terribly funny book with some of the richest characters I've read about in some years." —Groucho Marx

Our take
Thea Guanzon’s A Monsoon Rising, the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Hurricane Wars, holds 4.4 stars and nearly 15,000 Goodreads ratings. Forced into marriage to unite rival nations, Talasyn and Alaric must confront rebellion, temptation, and a cataclysmic magical storm. Passionate, political, and powerful, this romantasy delivers everything fans of enemies-to-lovers crave.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The war was supposed to be over. Marriage between Talasyn, the last Lightweaver, and Alaric, heir to the Shadowforged Legion, was meant to unite their nations. Instead, it has left them circling each other like storm and flame—bound together yet torn apart by loyalty, politics, and secrets.
Talasyn must play the role of Alaric’s empress while allies whisper of rebellion. Alaric must balance the demands of power with the pull of a wife who burns brighter than he expected. Desire and distrust twist together as they face something far deadlier than war: the looming Moonless Dark, a magical cataclysm only they can stop.
Thea Guanzon’s A Monsoon Rising is a breathtaking continuation of The Hurricane Wars, a romantasy of enemies, lovers, and a world on the brink.

Mash Cassidy has two problems: his pack wants him mated, and he absolutely refuses to settle down.
The Good Boys Club
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance · RomCom
Our take
Mash Cassidy has two problems: his pack wants him mated, and he absolutely refuses to settle down. His solution? Convince his best friend to fake-mate him through Harvest Fest. Cian agrees. He always does. The only issue is that Cian has been in love with Mash for years, and pretending might be harder than telling the truth. Slow burn, fake dating, werewolves, and feelings that refuse to stay hypothetical.

About the book
Mash Cassidy, smooth-talking werewolf and notorious ladies’ man, has been running from his responsibilities, and his pack, for fifteen years. But with Harvest Fest only weeks away, Alpha’s ordering him to return home, and she won’t take no for an answer. It’s time for him to grow up and mate with a nice werewolf girl. In fact, Alpha already has one in mind.
But Mash wasn’t built for settling down, and in a desperate move to keep Alpha off his back, he drags his wolf shifter best friend Cian into another of his harebrained schemes: pretend to be a werewolf and pose as his fake-mate for two whole months.
What could go wrong? They’re just friends, and Mash definitely hasn’t been developing unusual feelings for him…
Cian Barker, hipster wolf shifter and tech whiz, has been in love with his best friend since the day they met at uni. It doesn’t matter that Mash is straight and completely unobtainable, Cian is just happy to have him in his life.
But when Mash asks him to be his fake-mate during the family’s Harvest Fest celebration, Cian might have reached his limits with how far he’ll go for Mash. At least until he’s faced with his favourite pair of puppy-dog eyes. The ones he just can’t seem to resist.
It’ll be fine. Cian can pretend—he’s been pretending for their entire friendship. Besides, it’s not like Mash will ever love him back…
The Good Boys Club is an MM best-friends-to-lovers paranormal romance and the second in the Mythical Mishaps series of interconnected standalones. Expect the usual silliness, slow burn, lots of pining, plenty of scent marking, and a tonne of praise for the bestest boy in the Eight and a Half Kingdoms.

About the book
A wreck in space means one thing to Carl Ramsey: opportunity. With the escape pods gone and a distress beacon still flashing, all he has to do is clear out the pirates and claim the salvage. Easy money—at least in theory.
In practice, Carl’s crew is a chaotic mess. His ex-wife pilots the ship, their mechanic is usually drunk, the bodyguard is terrifying, and the resident wizard was kicked out of the Convocation. On a good day, they might function like a proper crew. On most days, Carl just hopes they do not kill each other before payday.
Fuel is expensive, jobs are dangerous, and the surprises are never good. Welcome to the Black Ocean, where survival takes guts, luck, and the occasional miracle.

About the book
In the distant future, humanity is a minor player in a galaxy dominated by ancient civilizations. The Ildirans rule with their Mage-Imperator. The Klikiss have vanished, leaving behind mysterious artifacts and strange technology. Humans, new to the stars, are still struggling to prove themselves.

Caught in the crossfire of gods and empires, humanity may find itself at the bottom of the food chain. Kevin J. Anderson launches a galaxy-spanning saga of war, politics, and survival.
