About the book
Every murder tells a story. Some refuse to end.
College student Rachel Rath knows she’s being watched. The gaze is cold, possessive, and all too familiar. She’s convinced the man following her is Ned Preacher. The same predator who murdered her parents and slipped through the justice system with a slap on the wrist. Now he’s free, and he wants more than revenge. He wants her.
Detective Frank Rath, Rachel’s uncle and adoptive father, will do anything to protect her. But as bodies start piling up and women begin to vanish, Rath and fellow detective Sonja Test uncover a chilling pattern of brutality, secrets, and perverse loyalty.
The Names of Dead Girls is a haunting, tightly wound thriller set in the icy corners of Vermont, where justice is personal and evil waits just out of sight.

Our take

About the book
This #1 New York Times bestseller is a highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance.
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.
When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design.
N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.

Hero of Dreams
Fantasy · Horror
Our take
By day, David Hero lives a dull, predictable life. By night, he enters Dreamworlds filled with noble warriors, seductive wonders, and monstrous horrors. As the dreams pull him deeper, he must decide which world is truly his. From Brian Lumley, Hero of Dreams opens a Lovecraftian fantasy of danger, desire, and transformation.
Choose your retailer
About the book
David Hero’s days are quiet, orderly, and painfully dull. Yet every night he is pulled into a realm far richer and far more perilous than anything his waking life offers. In the Dreamworlds, warriors stand against monstrous beings shaped by darkness, and David finds himself fighting beside them as though he has always belonged.
What begins as terrifying wonder soon becomes irresistible. Each dream draws him deeper into battles that test his courage and desires he never acknowledged. The more vivid the Dreamworlds grow, the harder it becomes to return to the life he thought he wanted.
From acclaimed horror master Brian Lumley, Hero of Dreams launches a Lovecraftian adventure that blends epic fantasy, nightmare creatures, and the haunting question of where a person’s true life really lies.

About the book
Bram Stoker Award nominee for Best First Novel!
"This claustrophobic, horror-leaning tour de force is highly recommended for fans of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation and Andy Weir’s The Martian." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The thrilling, atmospheric debut from the author of The Death of Jane Lawrence, a sci-fi horror novel with the intensive drive of The Martian and Gravity and the creeping dread of Annihilation, in which a caver on a foreign planet finds herself on a terrifying psychological and emotional journey for survival.
When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck—enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother—meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane.
Instead, she got Em.
Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition. Em knows all about Gyre’s falsified credentials, and has no qualms using them as a leash—and a lash. And Em has secrets, too . . .
As Gyre descends, little inconsistencies—missing supplies, unexpected changes in the route, and, worst of all, shifts in Em’s motivations—drive her out of her depths. Lost and disoriented, Gyre finds her sense of control giving way to paranoia and anger. On her own in this mysterious, deadly place, a masterpiece of claustrophobic horror surrounded by darkness and the unknown, Gyre must overcome more than just the dangerous terrain and the Tunneler which calls underground its home if she wants to make it out alive—she must confront the ghosts in her own head.
But how come she can’t shake the feeling she’s being followed?

Awakening in a forest with no memory, she’s thrust into the court of the icy Fae King of Silverhold.
Forgotten Fate
Romantasy
Our take
Awakening in a forest with no memory, she’s thrust into the court of the icy Fae King of Silverhold. His power both terrifies and entices her, but as forgotten pieces of her past resurface, they reveal a darkness she can’t escape. Bound by a growing desire and lurking danger, she must decide if she’s the kingdom’s savior—or its greatest threat.
Choose your retailer
About the book
I woke in a shadowy forest with no memories, only to be dragged before the Fae King of Silverhold—a ruler as powerful as he is merciless. He demands answers I can’t give and won’t release me until he learns who I am. Trapped in his court, I’m drawn to the king’s icy strength and dangerous allure.
As fragments of my past resurface, I uncover dark secrets that terrify me. Whispers of who I was—and what I’m capable of—threaten the fragile connection growing between us. Worse, my past may bring ruin to the king and his kingdom.
With desire pulling us closer and fear driving me away, I must decide: can I fight the darkness within, or will I become the very threat Silverhold fears most?

About the book

From rampaging monsters to overpopulation crises and dictators wielding plagues, every mission pits Tuf’s unyielding wit and integrity against chaos. In a galaxy teeming with rogues and villains, Tuf’s resourcefulness—and his remarkable seedship—are all that stand between disaster and survival.
With a ship full of biological wonders and a sharp mind, Tuf proves that sometimes, the universe’s greatest hero is also its most unexpected.
