Corridor Man by Mike Faricy

HE DID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS–AND THEN THE BODIES STARTED PILING UP…

Disbarred attorney Bobby Custer won the lottery. After serving four years of a seven-year sentence, he gets an offer he can’t refuse – from the feds.

Suddenly he’s out – out of jail, but also totally cast out of his old life: shunned by family and friends, living in a bare studio apartment, working the hallways and back alleys of the legal game and finding plenty of shady goings-on.

You could almost feel for the guy – a young man tempted by the high life could make a mistake he regrets and end up losing everything. But as the bodies start piling up, you have to wonder if there’s something about Bobby that’s just not … right.

Chilling and action-packed, The first in the Corridor Man series exposes a dark, violent undercurrent just beneath the surface of “perfectly legal and above-board”.

Ice Cream Man by Evan Bollinger

Eat it once, live it forever…

For Lacey Stamford, life is life. Mom to two, wife to none. Until one hot spring afternoon, when a simple, harmless decision changes it all.

Now, thrust suddenly into a world she’s never known, this lost soul must face the impossible: a force so evil, so unpredictable, it could destroy millions.

That is, if she refuses its ultimatum.

Aided by her ‘gifted’ son and the incomparable neuroscientist Sebastian Cannery, Lacey must plunge headfirst into the unspeakable. A dark underworld of deceivers, corrupters, and cold-blooded conglomerates.

The choice is hers: endanger her children and the new love of her life… or risk the very fate of humanity itself…

Who thought ice cream would be so difficult?

Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa

One thousand years ago, the great Kami Dragon was summoned to grant a single terrible wish—and the land of Iwagoto was plunged into an age of darkness and chaos.

Now, for whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, a new wish will be granted. A new age is about to dawn.

Raised by monks in the isolated Silent Winds temple, Yumeko has trained all her life to hide her yokai nature. Half kitsune, half human, her skill with illusion is matched only by her penchant for mischief. Until the day her home is burned to the ground, her adoptive family is brutally slain and she is forced to flee for her life with the temple’s greatest treasure—one part of the ancient scroll.

There are many who would claim the dragon’s wish for their own. Kage Tatsumi, a mysterious samurai of the Shadow Clan, is one such hunter, under orders to retrieve the scroll…at any cost. Fate brings Kage and Yumeko together. With a promise to lead him to the scroll, an uneasy alliance is formed, offering Yumeko her best hope for survival. But he seeks what she has hidden away, and her deception could ultimately tear them both apart.

With an army of demons at her heels and the unlikeliest of allies at her side, Yumeko’s secrets are more than a matter of life or death. They are the key to the fate of the world itself.
