In 1980, three girls vanished in the Minnesota woods, sparking whispers of the Bendy Man. Now, in 2022, a woman is found buried alive clutching a clue to the decades-old mystery.

About the book
Two girls vanished. A woman buried alive. Between two crimes lie decades of secrets yet to be unearthed in a pulse-pounding novel by the Edgar Award–nominated author of Unspeakable Things.
Summer 1980: Despite the local superstition that the Bendy Man haunts the woods, three girls go into a Minnesota forest. Only one comes out, dead silent, her memory gone. The mystery of the Taken Ones captures the nation.
Summer 2022: Cold case detective Van Reed and forensic scientist Harry Steinbeck are assigned a disturbing homicide—a woman buried alive, clutching a heart charm necklace belonging to one of the vanished girls. Van follows her gut. Harry trusts in facts. They’re both desperate to catch a killer before he kills again. They have something else in common: each has ties to the original case in ways they’re reluctant to share.
As Van and Harry connect the crimes of the past and the present, Van struggles with memories of her own nightmarish childhood—and the fear that uncovering the truth of the Taken Ones will lead her down a path from which she, too, may never return.

The Song of the Marked
Romantasy
Our take
A routine job becomes a fight against plague, monsters, and gods that refuse to stay buried. In The Song of the Marked, mercenary Casia Greythorne accepts a king’s reward to save her mentor, only to be paired with the arrogant Captain Elander as an ancient threat begins to surface.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The old gods are growing restless. An ancient evil is stirring. Can they stop the coming storm?
Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: Completing whatever her latest job is, and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that’s keeping her mentor alive.
So when the king himself offers her a job, she can’t resist the massive reward he offers—even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king.
Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: Investigate the origins of the strange plague that’s been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.
But in a land brimming with old magic and meddling gods, nothing is ever that simple, and nothing is ever what it seems.
As the bodies pile up and strange monsters begin to wreak havoc throughout the realms, Cas and Elander will have to work together to protect their world whether they like it or not. Because one thing is clear: Something ancient and evil is stirring in the shadows of that world.
And their empire will not survive its full unleashing.
Filled with luscious world-building, banter-filled enemies-to-lovers romance, and epic battles, this first book in the Shadows and Crowns series is the perfect next read for fans of Throne of Glass.

About the book
The tyranny of the gods is absolute, and they are capricious, malevolent and almost all-powerful, playing cruel games with the fates of mortals for their own ends . . .
A vibrant and powerful epic set against an alternate Bronze Age, this tale of gods, men and monsters, conspiracy and war, is a rich, compelling and original read from a master of the historical and fantasy genres. The people caught up in toils of the gods are merely trying to survive. Victims of vicious whims, trapped by their circumstances or pushed beyond what the mortal frame can bear, a handful of god-touched mortals - a scribe, a warlord, a dancer and a child - are about to be brought together in a conspiracy of their own.
A conspiracy to reach the heavens, and take down the corrupt and aging gods . . . who are already facing troubles of their own . . .
An epic which draws on the Greek mythology of gods and heroes, this new trilogy is a must read for fans of Dan Simmons and Madeline Miller alike.

A cursed serpent king.
Of Serpents and Ruins
Romantasy
Our take
A cursed serpent king. A reincarnated queen. A world unraveling. After a drunken night leads her to a realm of magic and peril, a young woman must reclaim her lost memories and fragile magic to break a devastating curse. With love and survival hanging by a thread, can she face an ancient enemy—or will her fated love doom them both?
Choose your retailer
About the book
A drunken night in Vegas changes everything when I save a koi fish and awaken in a world of magic, curses, and shifters—oh, and dinosaurs. At the center of it all is the serpent-shifter king, a mesmerizing man who insists he’s my fated mate. There’s just one problem: a dark curse compels him to kill me.
Reincarnated as the queen of a dying land, I have less than twenty-nine days to save us both. My memories are slow to return, my magic is dangerously unstable, and invisible enemies lurk in the shadows. I’m far from the queen I once was, and the weight of this fractured world presses down harder with every passing moment.
Time is slipping away, and the ancient entity that cursed us is nearly untouchable. Can I end the nightmare and embrace the love that might destroy me—or will this lifetime end like the last?

Sci-Fi
Our take
Rescued from exile and drawn into the Empire’s ranks, Thrawn quickly proves himself a brilliant strategist whose unorthodox methods unsettle his superiors and captivate Emperor Palpatine.

A New York Times–bestselling origin story of an iconic Star Wars villain.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The origin story of one of the greatest Star Wars villains . . . a book that fans have wanted for decades.”—The Verge
One of the most cunning and ruthless warriors in the history of the Galactic Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn is also one of the most captivating villains in the Star Wars universe. Since his introduction in bestselling author Timothy Zahn’s classic Heir to the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn has earned an iconic status equal only to the most notorious of Sith lords, Darth Vader. But Thrawn’s origins and the story of his rise in the Imperial ranks have remained mysterious. Now, in Star Wars: Thrawn, Zahn chronicles the fateful events that launched the blue-skinned, red-eyed master of military strategy and lethal warfare into the highest realms of power—and infamy.
After Thrawn is rescued from exile by Imperial soldiers, his deadly ingenuity and keen tactical abilities swiftly capture the attention of Emperor Palpatine. And just as quickly, Thrawn proves to be as indispensable to the Empire as he is ambitious; as devoted as its most loyal servant, Darth Vader; and a brilliant warrior never to be underestimated. On missions to rout smugglers, snare spies, and defeat pirates, he triumphs time and again—even as his renegade methods infuriate superiors while inspiring ever greater admiration from the Empire. As one promotion follows another in his rapid ascension to greater power, he schools his trusted aide, Ensign Eli Vanto, in the arts of combat and leadership, and the secrets of claiming victory. But even though Thrawn dominates the battlefield, he has much to learn in the arena of politics where ruthless administrator Arihnda Pryce holds the power to be a potent ally or a brutal enemy.
All these lessons will be put to the ultimate test when Thrawn rises to admiral and must pit all the knowledge, instincts, and battle forces at his command against an insurgent uprising that threatens not only innocent lives but also the Empire’s grip on the galaxy—and his own carefully laid plans for future ascendancy.

Our take
FBI futurist Hannah Stander faces her most chilling case yet: over a thousand deaths linked to a weaponized force of nature. As the investigation takes her from desert horrors to a billionaire’s secret lab, she uncovers a threat both ancient and advanced—one that could obliterate humanity if she can’t stop it in time.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Hannah Stander, a cutting-edge technology consultant for the FBI, is no stranger to danger.

The trail leads Hannah across deserts and to a secret island laboratory owned by a billionaire inventor, uncovering an unthinkable conspiracy. Someone is weaponizing nature itself, unleashing an ancient and advanced threat that could annihilate humanity.
As time runs out, Hannah must piece together clues and face a menace that challenges the boundaries of science and survival. The question isn’t just who is behind it—but whether humanity can stop it before it’s too late.

About the book
Remember that old line about how the only way out of the organization is in a pine box?
Well, Rue Hollis spent ten years thinking she had escaped the Black Hat Bureau, no coffin required.
