Disney princess by day.
Maeve Fly
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Disney princess by day. Literary misanthrope by night. Murderous maniac somewhere in between. Maeve Fly is a gory, gleeful horror debut that flips the slasher script with 4.6 stars on Amazon and praise from Stephen Graham Jones and Grady Hendrix. If American Psycho and LA nightlife had a twisted baby, this blood-soaked love letter is it.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maeve Fly is an ice princess by day, a horror-obsessed loner by night, and something much darker just beneath the surface.
By all appearances, she works at the happiest place on earth. But Maeve's nights belong to LA’s underbelly, dive bars, macabre novels, and her own simmering rage. When her best friend’s charming brother moves to town, something unravels inside her. Something sharp. Something hungry.
Inspired by her literary idols and haunted by her own discontent, Maeve crafts a new identity that doesn’t ask for permission. It takes.
Maeve Fly is a brutal, blood-slicked ride through the sun-soaked decay of Los Angeles. Part slasher, part satire, CJ Leede’s explosive debut is not for the faint of heart. Think American Psycho, but make it female.

She’s an FBI agent.
American Spy
Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Thriller
Our take
She’s an FBI agent. He’s a revolutionary. Her mission is betrayal. American Spy is a Cold War espionage thriller like no other—sharp, provocative, and inspired by real events. With 4.6 stars on Amazon and accolades from NPR, The New York Times, and Esquire, Lauren Wilkinson’s debut is both a tense spy novel and a powerful meditation on loyalty and identity.

About the book
Marie Mitchell is a brilliant FBI agent stuck behind a desk. It’s 1986, and being a young Black woman in an old boys’ club has left her sidelined—until she’s recruited for a covert mission to undermine Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso.
She doesn’t trust her handlers. She admires Sankara. But she says yes.
What follows is espionage with a pulse. Marie will seduce, observe, and betray. But her mission will force her to confront not just Cold War politics, but the cost of loyalty, race, and grief.
American Spy is a tense, elegant blend of spy thriller, political drama, and personal reckoning. Inspired by true events, Lauren Wilkinson delivers a gripping debut that rewrites the rules of the genre and redefines what it means to be a patriot.

The Forest of Lost Souls
Psychological Thriller
Our take
Raised in the wilderness, Vida wants peace, but the official story behind José’s death doesn’t add up.

About the book
A fearless woman, raised in the forest, fights against a group of powerful men in a novel about good versus evil, the enduring nature of myth, and the power of love by #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.
Raised in the wilderness by her late great-uncle, Vida is a young woman with an almost preternatural affinity for nature, especially for the wolves that also call the forested mountains home. Formed by hard experience, by love and loss, and by the prophecies of a fortuneteller, Vida just wants peace. If only nearby Kettleton County didn’t cast such a dark shadow.
It’s where José Nochelobo, the love of Vida’s life and a cherished local hero, died in a tragic accident. That’s the official story, but Vida has reasons to doubt it. The truth can’t be contained for long. Nor can the hungry men of power in Kettleton who want something too: that Vida, like José, disappear forever. One by one they come for her, prepared to do anything to see their plans through to their evil end. Vida is no less prepared for them.
Vida, the forest, and its formidable wonders are waiting. She will not rest until goodness and order have been restored.

A sunken cruise ship.
Sea Storm

Our take
A sunken cruise ship. A storm on the horizon. A cover-up unraveling fast. Sea Storm by Andrew Mayne blends high-seas danger with gripping suspense in the third installment of the bestselling Underwater Investigation Unit series. With 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this deep-diving thriller makes waves and never comes up for air.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A luxury cruise ship sinks off the Florida coast. The explosion is blamed on ecoterrorism, but Sloan McPherson isn’t buying the official story.
As a deep-water diver with the Underwater Investigation Unit, Sloan knows when something smells off. Clues are vanishing beneath the waves. A tropical storm is closing in. And the authorities seem far too eager to wrap things up.
What starts as a salvage operation quickly spirals into a high-stakes conspiracy. With each dive, Sloan uncovers more than just wreckage—she’s unearthing secrets someone would rather drown.
The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes. This wasn’t an accident. And whoever’s behind it has the money, power, and motive to make sure she never resurfaces with the truth.

Reality bends, sanity wobbles, and stupidity reigns in this gloriously weird third entry in Jason Pargin’s cult-favorite series.
What the Hell Did I Just Read
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Reality bends, sanity wobbles, and stupidity reigns in this gloriously weird third entry in Jason Pargin’s cult-favorite series. What the Hell Did I Just Read mixes cosmic horror with pitch-black humor, unhinged monsters, and zero respect for genre rules. With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, it's smart, stupid, and probably unsafe to read alone.

About the book
Dave, John, and Amy are back. Which means something horrifying, stupid, or cosmically wrong is about to happen. Probably all three.
This time it starts with a missing child. Simple enough, until said child may or may not be an interdimensional shapeshifter. As the trio investigates, reality starts to unravel in the most inconvenient and deeply inappropriate ways. Because when you're knee-deep in illusions, lies, and your own incompetence, the universe tends to take that personally.
Is this story true? That’s what They want you to ask. Is it disturbing, hilarious, and somehow existentially destabilizing? Absolutely.
What the Hell Did I Just Read takes cosmic horror, drags it through a pile of greasy fast food wrappers, and dares you to make sense of any of it.
