Hollenguardby S. Arthur Martin

The idyllic land of Valice has enjoyed a quiet existence for many centuries beneath the glow of the silver and gold rings that stretch across its sky. It is home to tall vistas and beautiful, green forests, and bordered by a great expanse of rolling mists called ‘the veil.’

At the Inn at the Crossroads, Kamil helps to tend to the many varied patrons and wonders about the wide world that he has never seen. As autumn draws to a close, a boiling storm appears on the horizon and four strangers arrive with dark portents.

Kamil soon finds himself on a journey across the breadth of Valice and far beyond. But when he discovers that the world is being violently consumed behind him, his odyssey becomes a dangerous exodus to the ancient fortress where all of the roads in the land end:

The storied bastion of Hollenguard.

Numb – A Dark Thrillerby Jeff Menapace

What if murder was the only way to feel alive? Calvin Court is a massage therapist with a few secrets. He battles depression. He medicates with too much booze. And he's got a thing for one of his clients. She claims the feeling is mutual. That is until she frames Calvin for murder and blackmails him.
What does she want? Not much. Calvin just has to do her bidding in a black-market industry catering to the very rich and extremely depraved. Maybe he's just better off at the bar. From Jeff Menapace, bestselling author of Wildlife and the Bad Games trilogy, comes Numb, a dark and disturbing thriller with tongue firmly planted in cheek…until it's ripped out.

Bad to the Boneby Tony J. Forder

A skeletal body is unearthed in a wooded area of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. DI James Bliss, together with DC Penny Chandler, investigate the case and discover that the young, female victim had been relocated from its original burial site.

A witness is convinced that a young female was struck by a vehicle back in the summer of 1990, and that police attended the scene. However, no record exists of either the accident or the reported victim. As the case develops, two retired police officers are murdered. The two are linked with others who were on duty at the time a road accident was reported.

As Bliss and Chandler delve deeper into the investigation, they start to question whether senior officers may have been involved in the murder of the young women who was buried in the woods.

As each link in the chain is put under duress, so is Bliss who clashes with superiors and the media.

When his team receives targeted warnings, Bliss will need to decide whether to drop the case or to pursue those responsible.

Will Bliss walk away in order to keep his career intact or will he fight no matter what the cost?

And is it possible the killer is much closer than they imagined?

The Institutionby Dylan Steel

Raising loyal citizens. One child at a time.

Sage Indarra’s childhood is forever changed when tragedy strikes and she’s forced to enroll in Eprah’s Institution–a cold, unfeeling place determined to make her forget everything good about her old life.

It doesn’t take long for Sage to learn that her new home is not as perfect as they would have her believe.

Unsure who to trust, she’s forced to build her new life on a lie. And she begins to question everything she’s ever known.

She has to play along if she has any hope of escaping.

But the Institution is hiding some dark secrets. And they won’t let her leave.

Can Sage keep up the ruse she’s begun?
This is the first book in the gripping dark dystopian Sacrisvita series.

Perfect for fans of George Orwell’s 1984, Aldous Huxley’s A Brave New World, or Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games.

A Devious Mindby Brigid George

A callous killer taunts Dusty Kent

It was a silent death. One blow to her head was all it took. The killer struck Marcia Hamilton, a sixty-year-old grandmother of slim build, from behind. Marcia’s status as a distinguished author could not save her. The killer rolled her body, ‘like a piece of discarded junk’, down into a gully where it remained for almost two weeks.

This murder is the most heinous crime imaginable: the crime of matricide. Dusty Kent is sure of that. But which of Marcia’s four offspring would be capable of such a deed? Dusty is determined to expose the murderer no matter who it is. Can she do it before the killer strikes again? Someone who’s already killed their mother would have no qualms about ‘bumping off’ a mere sibling in order to avoid exposure.

A Devious Mind is an enthralling whodunit awash with mystery and atmosphere — from the message seemingly sent by the murder victim after her death, to the intrigue of family dynamics, to the ambling lifestyle of Byron Bay: Australia’s famous beach town.

This is Book 2 of the Dusty Kent murder mysteries following Murder in Murloo.
