About the book
Kai is the hardest working warrior in his generation... and the unluckiest. In a world where most people receive magical skills, classes, or cultivation, Kai has nothing but his wits and his strength. His only choice will be to forge a new path against fate, no matter where it takes him.
Savage monsters pour endlessly from the wasteland, threatening the survival of civilization itself. They say that human strength isn't enough and only those gifted with destined powers have a chance of making a difference. Kai is hungry to fight in that war, to be someone who matters. That hunger will take him across a world stranger and more terrible than he could possibly have imagined.
Depthless Hunger's setting blends inspiration from many sources. Cultivation exists, drawing off Chinese wuxia and xianxia, but qi flows alongside chakra, drawing off Indian sources, as well as western systems. All are combined in a single system that is gradually revealed over the course of the story.

About the book
There’s something dark and twisted in Levi, underneath his innocence. That’s why I fixate on him. That’s why I ask him to pose for me—and that’s why he accepts. He senses something dark and twisted in me too, and he’s curious. He’s never explored his dark side. He’s never known that it’s allowed. But with me, in our sessions, it’s required.
But he’s so inexperienced. His body is entirely foreign to him, and he’s confused by his responses, even embarrassed. He doesn’t understand, at first, that it’s the whole point. But when I tell him to let it happen, he obeys. He’s such a good boy, and he’s been so terribly lonely. He doesn’t understand intimacy. But he wants it—he needs it.
And since God didn’t give it to him, the Devil will.
The trouble is, the deeper I dig into him, the deeper he digs into me. He’s not supposed to learn my secrets. He’s not supposed to see what I really am. No one is allowed to do that. But Levi is changing everything. He’s breaking everything. But maybe…
Maybe I want him to.
Tropes:
- Artist and model
- Gay awakening/first time
- Obsessive and controlling MC
- Touch-starved MC
- D/s dynamic

About the book
SHE WASN'T BORN TO REBEL.
SHE WAS MADE TO DESTROY ANYONE WHO DID.
They tell me that I can't feel.
They're wrong. I'm learning.
It started with a soldier who wasn't afraid of what they made me. Now I want him, and wanting anything for myself could get us both killed.
I am a Creation. Genetically engineered, conditioned to suppress emotion, and trained to kill without question. My twin brother, Lukahn, and I exist for their war. We were built to heal each other by latching. Skin to skin, palm to palm. We can't survive without each other. Rank is how we both live. And if we're going to stay alive, we have to be the best.
I've killed for them. I've put a bullet through a Creation who hesitated, and I didn't feel anything. That's what I was made for.
The real test comes with Separation, when the government finally claims the lives it created. We are ready.
We are not ready for Separation to come early. Or for the newcomer who ruptures my senses before I even learn his name.
They drag us to a military base before we turn eighteen. Inside, every sign of weakness is watched. Outside, something is spreading. It doesn't move like anything human. It doesn't stop when it should. The vaccines meant to protect us from it might be the very thing that exposes what I am.
Then I meet Marc.
A soldier who doesn't look at me like a weapon waiting for orders, or like my brother's missing half. He touches me like he's not supposed to. A hand at my waist. A thumb against my chin. He looks at me like he can see the nightmares I don't want to have. He takes them away, the way Lukahn does. I shouldn't let him get this close. My brother would kill him if he knew.
I tell myself I'll stay away. I run the drills. I take the rank. I don't look at him.
I look at him.
Near Marc, the silence I was trained to live inside begins to break. A pulse. A flaw. Curiosity. Attachment. Want.
I look up "want" in the archive. The definition is wrong. None of the words for it are right. It isn't supposed to apply to me.
That kind of deviation doesn't get you a trial. It gets you a muzzle to the skull and a trigger pull, and the compound moves on before the body's cold.
I'm the one behind the barrel.
Outside, the infection keeps spreading closer. Inside, our training intensifies, our orders change, and the truth behind why Separation came early may lie with the invaders.
I should be preparing for war. Watching my brother's back. Keeping my hands off Marc. But Lukahn and I have spent our lives keeping each other alive, and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be the reason he dies.
I was built to destroy rebels.
And now I'm becoming one.
CREATED is Book One of the completed Separation Trilogy: dark YA dystopian sci-fi romance with engineered soldiers, forbidden attachment, and the alien truth behind the war they were created to fight.

The Road
Dystopian · Literary Fiction · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
A Pulitzer Prize winner and national bestseller, The Road was called “gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful” by the San Francisco Chronicle.

About the book
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son’s fight to survive that “only adds to McCarthy’s stature as a living master. It’s gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful” (San Francisco Chronicle).
One of The New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.
The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

Prairie Tale
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
In Prairie Tale, Melissa Gilbert recounts her journey from playing Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie to navigating Hollywood fame, relationships, addiction, and codependence. She reflects on sobriety, marriage, motherhood, and learning to accept herself. A good pick for readers who enjoy candid celebrity memoirs about child stardom and life beyond the screen.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A fascinating, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting celebrity memoir of self-discovery from the beloved child actress who earned a permanent place in the hearts of millions for her role in Little House on the Prairie when she was just a child.
To fans of the hugely successful television series Little House on the Prairie, Melissa Gilbert grew up in a fantasy world with a larger-than-life father, friends and family she could count on, and plenty of animals to play with. Children across the country dreamed of the Ingalls’ idyllic life—and so did Melissa.
With candor and humor, the cherished actress traces her complicated journey from buck-toothed Laura "Halfpint" Ingalls to Hollywood starlet, wife, and mother. She partied with the Brat Pack, dated heartthrobs like Rob Lowe and bad boys like Billy Idol, and began a self-destructive pattern of addiction and codependence. She eventually realized that her career on television had earned her popularity, admiration, and love from everyone but herself.
Through hard work, tenacity, sobriety, and the blessings of a solid marriage, Melissa has accepted her many different identities and learned to laugh, cry, and forgive in new ways. Women everywhere may have idolized her charming life on Little House on the Prairie, but Melissa’s own unexpectedly honest, imperfect, and down-to-earth story is an inspiration.

About the book
In 2057, when the world is starved of oil and the whole globe is in the unrelenting grip of the World Council, NYCPD detective Nick Garvey has his plate murderously full, contending with: the assassination of the Vice President and four Secret Service agents; the vicious power struggle between President Lenora Allison and the Supreme Leader of the World Council, Jason Beck; the off-duty avenging of the brutalization of his estranged daughter by her live-in thug; the kidnapping of his granddaughter when he gets too close to the truth about Jason Beck's world domination dirty tricks; and his confrontation with President Lenora Allison which leads to their joint setup in front of a firing squad; but other than that...

The Prophet
Thriller · Suspense
Our take
Called “one of the sharpest and superbly plotted crime novels I've read in my life” by Donald Ray Pollock, this crime thriller follows estranged brothers Adam and Kent Austin, whose family was torn apart by their sister's murder.

About the book
Adam Austin hasn't spoken to his brother in years. When they were teenagers, their sister was abducted and murdered, and their devastated family never recovered. Now Adam keeps to himself, scraping by as a bail bondsman, working so close to the town's criminal fringes that he sometimes seems a part of them.
Kent Austin is the beloved coach of the local high school football team, a religious man and hero in the community. After years of near misses, Kent's team has a shot at the state championship, a welcome point of pride in a town that has had its share of hardships.
Just before playoffs begin, the town and the team are thrown into shock when horrifically, impossibly, another teenage girl is found murdered. As details emerge that connect the crime to the Austin brothers, the two must confront their buried rage and grief-and unite to stop a killer.
Michael Koryta, widely hailed as one of the most exciting thriller authors at work today, has written his greatest novel ever -- an emotionally harrowing, unstoppably suspenseful novel that Donald Ray Pollock has called "one of the sharpest and superbly plotted crime novels I've read in my life."

About the book
A discovery that wasn’t meant to happen.
On a timeline that shouldn’t exist.
When Reid Walton, an unacclaimed community college history professor and obscure conspiracy author, is invited to join a billionaire’s mysterious science project as a history expert, he has no idea why they chose him, or what to expect. Sequestered in a secluded mountain laboratory, he is introduced to their mind-blowing venture: stable time travel, safe enough for a public attraction.
And they already have a working vehicle!
On the heels of this staggering revelation comes another. The time travel technology is suspected of being stolen property. If so, stolen from where? The faster-than-light particles that make the time machine work exist nowhere in the known world except the enigmatic inventor’s possession, who refuses to disclose his source. Could they have come from the future?
With help from the lab crew led by the genius and resourceful Dr. Sara Dearborn, Reid digs for answers to the mystery he was hired to solve. But uncovering the truth turns perilous. Reid finds there is much more at stake than just a time machine, and flushing out his quarry may get them all killed – and rip the timeline apart.
Catapulted across history, Reid, Sara, and their allies must survive alternate dimensions, Nazis, Vikings, and a psychopath willing to destroy anyone and anything, even the timeline itself, if it prevents him from his prize. A prize that offers power more seductive than just time travel. For a deadly price.

About the book
My captor, my enemy, and my fated mate.
I’m the best bounty hunter in the business. I find lost artifacts that people would kill to possess. I’m also broke. When a notorious leprechaun offers me a job I can’t refuse, I realize too late I’m not hunting an object.
The contract was simple; steal the prince, escape unseen.
Spoiler alert: I failed. Horribly.
The moment I step into the fae kingdom beyond the veil, I feel it—someone watching me. Waiting for me.
King Vareck.
He’s nothing like I imagined—fierce, unyielding, and as cursed as the frozen lands of Faerie. An ice-cold ruler whose very presence bends the room to his will. He shouldn’t care about a thief like me, but we have one thing in common.
Vareck is more than just a king—he’s the man who has haunted my dreams for years.
And apparently, I’ve been in his too.
The difference?
He’s been searching the nine realms for me, and now that he’s found me, he has no intention of letting me go…
