About the book
Chrysantha Stathos has played the game well—disguising her sharp wit behind the persona of a shallow beauty to secure her fortune and a duchess’s title. With her elderly husband’s death, freedom, wealth, and security seem within reach. But life has other plans.
When Eryx Demos, her late husband’s enigmatic and infuriatingly handsome grandson, arrives to claim her inheritance, Chrysantha’s perfect plan begins to unravel. As if that’s not enough, her younger sister is set to become queen—and won’t let her forget it.
Determined to outshine her sister’s royal wedding and rid herself of Eryx, Chrysantha will stop at nothing. But Eryx’s dangerous powers—and her own traitorous heart—might prove to be her undoing. After all, a Stathos girl always gets what she wants…right?

About the book
"[The] weird, beautiful, unapologetically apocalyptic Last Policeman trilogy is one of my favorite mystery series."—John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns
Winner of the 2013 Edgar® Award Winner for Best Paperback Original!
What’s the point in solving murders if we’re all going to die soon, anyway?
Detective Hank Palace has faced this question ever since asteroid 2011GV1 hovered into view. There’s no chance left. No hope. Just six precious months until impact.
The Last Policeman presents a fascinating portrait of a pre-apocalyptic United States. The economy spirals downward while crops rot in the fields. Churches and synagogues are packed. People all over the world are walking off the job—but not Hank Palace. He’s investigating a death by hanging in a city that sees a dozen suicides every week—except this one feels suspicious, and Palace is the only cop who cares.
The first in a trilogy, The Last Policeman offers a mystery set on the brink of an apocalypse. As Palace’s investigation plays out under the shadow of 2011GV1, we’re confronted by hard questions way beyond “whodunit.” What basis does civilization rest upon? What is life worth? What would any of us do, what would we really do, if our days were numbered?

About the book
They killed her family. Now she must marry one of them.
Humanity is losing the war against the dragons. With tanks turned to scrap and cities reduced to ash, a desperate truce is brokered: dragons will stop the bloodshed—if humans offer brides in return.
Riley never volunteered. Her “honor” is a cover-up, a ploy to silence her from exposing military secrets. Thrust into a kingdom of fire-breathing enemies, she’s meant to be a pawn. But her would-be dragon mate wants nothing to do with her.
Now rejected by both species and trapped in a hostile world, her only chance at peace is to seduce the very creature who might have torched her hometown.
He’s smoke, muscle, and menace. She’s fire of a different kind.
One spark—and everything burns.

About the book
REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK
Named one of the Best Nonfiction Books of the Year by Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews
“An unforgettable memoir about fighting for your home and your heart.” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club November ’24 Pick)
From a fearless, internationally acclaimed activist comes an impassioned memoir about an indigenous childhood, a clash of cultures, and the fight to save the Amazon rainforest
We Will Be Jaguars is an astonishing memoir by an equally astonishing woman. Nenquimo is a winner of TIME magazine’s Earth Award, and MS. magazine named this book among the Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2024.
Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest—one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s—Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing.
She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. At age fourteen, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened.
Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate change activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against Big Oil, protecting over a half million acres of primary rainforest. Her message is as sharp as a spear—honed by her experiences battling loggers, miners, oil companies and missionaries.
In We Will Be Jaguars, she partners with her husband, Mitch Anderson, founder of Amazon Frontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of indigenous peoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh, and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself.

A horror novel becomes a map for real killings, and every page points back to the house where it was written.
The Nightmare Man
Horror · Thriller
Our take
A horror novel becomes a map for real killings, and every page points back to the house where it was written. When detective Mills investigates a string of ritualistic murders tied to Ben Bookman’s latest book, Ben is forced to confront the Blackwood family legacy, a forbidden library, and the possibility that something ancient has slipped free. A haunted-house horror built on cursed stories, buried memory, and mounting dread.

About the book
T. Kingfisher meets Cassandra Khaw in this “fast-paced” haunted house story full of “old-school horror” and “brimming with edgy tension and evil” (Library Journal)!
When the terrifying plot of a horror novel comes to life, its author discovers there’s a fine line between humanity and monstrosity . . .
Blackwood mansion looms, surrounded by nightmare pines, atop the hill over the small town of Crooked Tree. Ben Bookman, bestselling novelist and heir to the Blackwood estate, spent a weekend at the ancestral home to finish writing his latest horror novel, The Scarecrow. Now, on the eve of the book’s release, the terrible story within begins to unfold in real life.
Detective Mills arrives at the scene of a gruesome murder: a family butchered and bundled inside cocoons stitched from corn husks, and hung from the rafters of a barn, eerily mirroring the opening of Bookman’s latest novel. When another family is killed in a similar manner, Mills, along with his daughter, rookie detective Samantha Blue, is determined to find the link to the book—and the killer—before the story reaches its chilling climax.
As the series of “Scarecrow crimes” continues to mirror the book, Ben quickly becomes the prime suspect. He can’t remember much from the night he finished writing the novel, but he knows he wrote it in The Atrium, his grandfather’s forbidden room full of numbered books. Thousands of books. Books without words.
As Ben digs deep into Blackwood’s history he learns he may have triggered a release of something trapped long ago—and it won’t stop with the horrors buried within the pages of his book.
