About the book
The dragon god Lik-Rifa has been freed, and the world trembles in her shadow.
As she gathers her dragonborn forces for a new age of conquest, three warriors stand on the edge of a rising storm. Orka hunts for her stolen son. Varg walks the path of vengeance with the Bloodsworn. Elvar leads the Battle-Grim on a mission bound by blood oath and honor.
But not even their combined strength can stop a god.
Their last chance lies in the madness of another, a forbidden book that might raise Ulfrir, the wolf god of old. What follows will be blood and fire, myth and magic.
The Hunger of the Gods is brutal, cinematic Norse-inspired fantasy from one of the genre’s fiercest voices.

A grizzly shifter.
OctoBEARfest
Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
A grizzly shifter. A rock musician mix-up. And a brewery on the brink. OctoBEARfest by Murphy Lawless and C. E. Murphy is a steamy, feel-good shifter romance filled with fall vibes, music, and a happily ever after you’ll want to toast to. Set in the Virtue Shifters world, this story is the perfect cozy escape with a side of bear.

About the book
Grizzly shifter Bill Torben is dedicated to one thing: saving his family’s struggling brewery. Love can wait. Or so he thinks.
Enter Gwen Booker, the wrong musician with exactly the right vibe. Hired by mistake for the annual OctoBEARfest celebration, Gwen is all rock and fire instead of smooth jazz, but Bill is immediately hooked. She’s talented, gorgeous, and unexpectedly perfect for the festival, the brewery, and maybe even his bear heart.
As sparks fly and music fills the air, Bill and Gwen must navigate mistaken identities, growing attraction, and a shared dream that’s bigger than either of them.
OctoBEARfest is a cozy, steamy shifter romance with craft beer, second chances, and the kind of happy ending that pairs perfectly with a fall evening and a pint.

About the book
A New York Times bestseller, The Sound of Gravel is the remarkable true story of one girl's coming-of-age in a polygamist Mormon Doomsday cult.
“A haunting, harrowing testament to survival." — People Magazine
“An addictive chronicle of a polygamist community.” — New York Magazine
Ruth Wariner was the thirty-ninth of her father’s forty-two children. Growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turned a blind eye to the practices of her community, Ruth lives in a ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. At church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and that women can only ascend to Heaven by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible. After Ruth's father--the man who had been the founding prophet of the colony--is brutally murdered by his brother in a bid for church power, her mother remarries, becoming the second wife of another faithful congregant.
In need of government assistance and supplemental income, Ruth and her siblings are carted back and forth between Mexico and the United States, where her mother collects welfare and her step-father works a variety of odd jobs. Ruth comes to love the time she spends in the States, realizing that perhaps the community into which she was born is not the right one for her. As Ruth begins to doubt her family’s beliefs and question her mother’s choices, she struggles to balance her fierce love for her siblings with her determination to forge a better life for herself.
Recounted from the innocent and hopeful perspective of a child, The Sound of Gravel is the remarkable true story of a girl fighting for peace and love. This is an intimate, gripping book resonant with triumph, courage, and resilience.

Religion, science, and a frozen apocalypse collide in Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut’s blackly comic classic.
Cat’s Cradle
Literary Fiction
Our take
Religion, science, and a frozen apocalypse collide in Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut’s blackly comic classic. With 4.6 stars on Amazon, this sharp satire of human folly features a midget narrator, a fake religion, and the deadliest invention you've never heard of.

Choose your retailer
About the book
What do a little person, a calypso-singing prophet, and a doomsday weapon have in common? Only the end of the world.
In Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut delivers a darkly hilarious, razor-sharp satire about science, religion, and the absurdity of human ambition. When an unassuming writer sets out to chronicle the life of a fictional atomic bomb creator, he stumbles into a tangled web of apocalyptic invention and spiritual nonsense on the island of San Lorenzo. There, he discovers Ice-Nine, a substance capable of freezing the world.
Equal parts absurd and profound, Cat’s Cradle is Vonnegut at his finest, brilliant, biting, and completely unpredictable. If you’ve ever laughed while watching everything fall apart, this book is for you.

A soldier unstuck in time.
Slaughterhouse-Five
Dystopian · Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction
Our take
A soldier unstuck in time. A war that never leaves. A novel that changed everything. Slaughterhouse-Five blends trauma, satire, and science fiction in a literary landmark that’s as strange, sharp, and vital as ever. With 4.4 stars and over 1.4 million Goodreads ratings, Vonnegut’s antiwar classic is still shaking readers—decades later. So it goes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A special fiftieth anniversary edition of Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, “a desperate, painfully honest attempt to confront the monstrous crimes of the twentieth century” (Time), featuring a new introduction by Kevin Powers, author of the National Book Award finalist The Yellow Birds
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time
Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming “unstuck in time.”
An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing—the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit—that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it. Authors as wide-ranging as Norman Mailer, John Irving, Michael Crichton, Tim O’Brien, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Strout, David Sedaris, Jennifer Egan, and J. K. Rowling have all found inspiration in Vonnegut’s words. Jonathan Safran Foer has described Vonnegut as “the kind of writer who made people—young people especially—want to write.” George Saunders has declared Vonnegut to be “the great, urgent, passionate American writer of our century, who offers us . . . a model of the kind of compassionate thinking that might yet save us from ourselves.”
More than fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut’s portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era’s uncertainties.

Our take

About the book
Two centuries. One ship. A curse that refuses to sink.
In 1901, Nicky awakens on a freezing whaling vessel—the Ormen—after a brutal attack. Isolated at sea, she’s trapped with a crew that seems to want something from her… something impossible.
More than a hundred years later, the wreck of the Ormen washes ashore on Iceland’s remote coast. Set for demolition, it draws explorer Dominique like a beacon. But others who dared board it never made it back.
Now, Dominique must navigate the decaying corridors of a ship steeped in cruelty, secrets—and something that still stirs below deck.
A spectral presence walks the floors. It remembers. And it’s waiting.
A Haunting in the Arctic is a slow-burn ghost story drenched in atmosphere, where past horrors bleed into the present—and no one leaves unchanged.

A plague is spreading.
Golden Hood
Romantasy
Our take
A plague is spreading. A vigilante is blamed. And a vampire lord is watching. Golden Hood kicks off Annabel Chase’s sharp urban fantasy trilogy with 4.4 Amazon stars and a sassy, spell-slinging heroine who steals from the powerful. Add werewolves, magic, and a touch of forbidden heat—this Robin Hood retelling flips the fangs-and-fantasy game on its head.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They call her Golden Hood. Thief. Hero. Target.
By day, she’s a shadow in The Wild, stealing from the vampire elite and helping those they’d rather bleed dry. With her loyal werewolf crew and one very cranky wizard, she’s untouchable—until a deadly plague starts wiping out humans, and everyone’s looking to her for answers. Including Lord Doran, the vampire commander whose glare could fry a coven.
Their uneasy alliance sizzles with tension, but desire is a distraction she can’t afford—especially when someone’s framing her for murder.
The body count is rising. The politics are bloodthirsty. And if she plays her hand wrong, she’ll lose more than just her secrets.
Golden Hood is a fierce, fast-paced fantasy where power hides behind a cloak, and the hunter can easily become the hunted.
