About the book
From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a postapocalyptic take on the perennial classic "Little Red Riding Hood"...about a woman who isn't as defenseless as she seems.
It's not safe for anyone alone in the woods. There are predators that come out at night: critters and coyotes, snakes and wolves. But the woman in the red jacket has no choice. Not since the Crisis came, decimated the population, and sent those who survived fleeing into quarantine camps that serve as breeding grounds for death, destruction, and disease. She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesn't look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago.
There are worse threats in the woods than the things that stalk their prey at night. Sometimes, there are men. Men with dark desires, weak wills, and evil intents. Men in uniform with classified information, deadly secrets, and unforgiving orders. And sometimes, just sometimes, there's something worse than all of the horrible people and vicious beasts combined.
Red doesn't like to think of herself as a killer, but she isn't about to let herself get eaten up just because she is a woman alone in the woods....

About the book
John wanted a vacation. He got an apocalypse.
When John sets out for a weekend camping trip in the Yukon, he never could have imagined the world would be plunged into chaos by the System–a mystical energy wave that destroys electronics and grants game-like powers to humanity. Suddenly, animals are evolving, monsters are spawning, and John finds himself equipped with a character sheet and incredible, physics-defying skills.
But surviving in this new reality won't be easy. John will have to get back to civilization through hordes of slavering monsters. And that's just the beginning - because with the arrival of the System, John will need to help rebuild society from the ruins up… and stop humanity from destroying itself along the way.

About the book
On the heels of Patient Zero and Pride and Prejudice with Zombies— the electrifying sequel to Hater where humanity fights itself to the death against a backdrop of ultimate apocalyptic destruction
The Earth has been torn into two parts by an irreversible division. Whether due to nature, or the unknown depths of the mind itself, everyone is now either Human or Hater. Victim or killer. Governments have fallen, command structures have collapsed, and relationships have crumbled. Major cities have become refugee camps where human survivors cower together in fear. Amidst this indiscriminate carnage, Danny McCoyne is on a mission to find his daughter Ellis, convinced that her shared Hater condition means her allegiance is to people like him. Free of inhibitions, unrestricted by memories of peace, and driven by instinct, children are pure Haters, and may well define the future of the Hater race. But, as McCoyne makes his way into the heart of human territory, an incident on the battlefield sets in place an unexpected chain of events, forcing him to question everything he believes he knows about the new order that has arisen, and the dynamic of the Hate itself.

About the book
A “damn hilarious” military science fiction series that “skates just on the right side of the line between clever absurdity and complete chaos”—for fans of Douglas Adams and John Scalzi (Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times–bestselling author)
Hugo Award–winning author Jim C. Hines introduces the unlikely heroes who may just save the galaxy from a zombie plague: a crew of space janitors.
The Krakau came to Earth to invite humanity into a growing alliance of sentient species. However, they happened to arrive after a mutated plague wiped out half the planet, turned the rest into shambling, near-unstoppable animals, and basically destroyed human civilization. You know—your standard apocalypse.
Now, a century later, human beings might not be what they once were, but at least they’re no longer trying to eat everyone. Mostly.
Marion “Mops” Adamopoulos is surprisingly bright (for a human). As a Lieutenant on the Earth Mercenary Corps Ship Pufferfish, she’s in charge of the Shipboard Hygiene and Sanitation team. When a bioweapon attack wipes out the Krakau command crew and reverts the rest of the humans to their feral state, only Mops and her team are left with their minds intact.
Escaping the attacking aliens—not to mention her shambling crewmates—is only the beginning. Sure, Mops and her team of space janitors and plumbers can clean the ship as well as anyone, but flying the damn thing is another matter. As they struggle to keep the Pufferfish functioning and find a cure for their crew, they stumble onto a conspiracy that could threaten the entire alliance… a conspiracy born from the truth of what happened on Earth all those years ago.
With Terminal Alliance, Jim Jim C. Hines takes us into a brand-new universe of entertainment certain to appeal to fans of both Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

About the book
After being abandoned at the altar by my fiance, I didn’t think my day could get any worse. And then the zombie apocalypse happened…
It’s been over a year since the dead started walking on British soil and things aren’t looking great. Society is in shambles, along with my love life, and while I have my brother and a safe place to live, our food situation is turning dire. But we’ll survive, just like we always have.
Until the worst happens and my brother goes missing.
Desperate to find him, I have no choice but to leave the safety of my home and step into this violent new world. One filled with death, gore and brutality. And three devastatingly handsome strangers who are determined to help.
I don’t trust any of them.
Not their scarred ex-SAS leader, Rhys, who seems to have a permanent stick up his a**. Or Theo, the flirtatious former paramedic with a twisted sense of humour that rivals my own. And definitely not Alex, the overprotective ex-rugby star who's sweet smiles and kind gestures hide a dark past. All three of them are dangerous to my fragile heart and the longer I stay with them, the more it’s at risk.
But I don’t have a choice.
My brother’s life is in danger and these men are my best chance at saving him. Which means putting my heart on the line and hoping that if it does shatter, I’ll still be alive to pick up the pieces.

Our take
Avidian follows Kat Sinclair, an Avid who sees the dead and is forced to investigate a brutal double murder inside the powerful Volkov household.

Choose your retailer
About the book
If Shatter Me and Divergent had a morally gray baby raised by ghosts—it would be Avidian.
This is a spicy, binge-worthy romantasy set in a dystopian world where she’s forced to solve a murder using her rare ability to see the dead—and the man offering her a way out might be hiding the most dangerous secret of all.
I can see the dead. They tell me their secrets. But this time, their secrets might get me killed.
My name is Kat Sinclair, and the Volkov family owns me. People like me, born with special abilities, are called Avids. But my gift doesn’t spare me from the demands of Marco Volkov, the ruthless family patriarch who keeps me in line with the ever-present threat of violence.
When a grisly double murder involving a family nephew and a cook shakes the household, I’m forced to uncover the truth. The whispers of the dead reveal more than I bargained for, unearthing secrets that could destroy the Volkovs—and me.
But I met a charming stranger who might be able to help. Except he doesn’t know about my gift, my scars, or the dark past I can’t escape. But in his eyes, I see something I thought I’d lost long ago—hope.
If I want to escape, I’ll have to play along. But this murder might be hiding something even more dangerous. If I’m not careful, I’ll be the next one the dead are whispering about.

About the book
An unlikely savior searching for an angel in the midst of Hell...
As a convict serving a life sentence, I shouldn't be playing the hero to the prison warden's damsel-in-distress daughter. But with ninety-nine percent of the population projected to die from a rapidly-spreading virus and society falling into chaos, the desperate, dying father’s options are limited. And since I'm immune to the virus, he puts his daughter's life in my hands with one simple directive: Find her.
I only know the warden's daughter from a photograph, but she glows like she was Heaven-sent. Protecting her gives me purpose in this godforsaken world where a sinister and uncannily-organized faction is rising from the rubble—taking control in a lawless land and rounding up the few survivors. When I finally find her, will the young woman with the innocent smile and ocean-blue eyes still shine from within? Or will the spiraling darkness snuff out her light for good?
FIND HER is a standalone, steamy apocalypse romance novel with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Our take
In The Darkening, strange summer snow and dimming daylight signal a global collapse as alien spores infect the world.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The sun is dimming, the world is ending, and the long journey south is only the beginning.
In the middle of summer, snow falls over Montana. Daylight dims to a ghostly twilight. And at night, glowing alien spores drift from the sky bringing a sickness that can twist the people you love into something unrecognizable. The air grows colder and the infected more dangerous with every passing day.
Nate Corwin, a science teacher, and his wife Paula, a nurse, know that their suburban home won’t hold for long. With their two children, Riley and Jonah, and their loyal golden retriever, Max, they set out for Paula’s family farm in Florida—one place they pray might still be safe—and warm.
But the road south is a gauntlet of horrors: parasite-driven killers, blizzards, collapsing refugee camps, and monsters that hunt in the dark. The only defense—UV light—is feeble at best, and the infected are starting to adapt.
As the alien bloom spreads and the world tilts toward madness, the Corwins will learn that survival isn’t just about keeping the monsters out, it’s about deciding how far you’re willing to go to protect the people you love.
The Darkening is a relentless, heart-pounding journey through a world where the sun is growing dark, the rules are gone, and every step could be your last.

Our take
Perfection comes at a cost, and no one on Prospera remembers what they have paid. In The Ferryman, Proctor Bennett enforces a system that refreshes bodies and erases memories until a cryptic message fractures his certainty.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying.”—STEPHEN KING
From the author of The Passage comes a riveting standalone novel about a group of survivors on a hidden island utopia—where the truth isn’t what it seems.
A POLYGON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
The islands of Prospera lie in a vast ocean, in splendid isolation from the rest of humanity—or whatever remains of it.
Citizens of the main island enjoy privileged lives. They are attended to by support staff who live on a cramped neighboring island, where whispers of revolt are brewing—but for the Prosperans, life is perfection. And when the end of life approaches, they’re sent to a mysterious third island, where their bodies are refreshed, their memories are wiped away, and they return to start life anew.
Proctor Bennett is a ferryman, whose job it is to enforce the retirement process when necessary. He never questions his work, until the day he receives a cryptic message:
“The world is not the world.”
These simple words unlock something he has secretly suspected. They seep into strange dreams of the stars and the sea. They give him the unshakable feeling that someone is trying to tell him something important.
Something no one could possibly imagine, something that could change the fate of humanity itself.
