Dark Justice: A Supernatural Thrillerby Donnie Light

“Few debut novels pack the punch of a seasoned professional, but Dark Justice does just that. Visceral, complex, and riveting, here is a story that spans time and pushes the genre’s boundaries. Kept me reading until the early morning hours.”
—James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Oracle

“Dark Justice is a story that begs to be finished in one huge gulp. Light pulls the reader along, moving effortlessly between the past and the present as he spins a tale of revenge, loss, love, and yes, well-deserved justice. This book was as taut and enjoyable as any high-speed car chase movie. Give it a try!”
—Sylvia Shults, author of Borrowed Flesh and Ghosts of the Illinois River

“With a dual storyline from both past and present, this novel (Dark Justice) wove the two tales together in expert fashion. The suspense in each storyline is tremendous and Mr. Light really knows how to build on it with each chapter. I truly had trouble putting this book down… the storyline was enthralling. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.”
—Red Adept’s Kindle Book Review Blog

“Wonderful, inspiring, and comforting.”—Mary Buddemeyer-Porter, author of Will I See Fido in Heaven?

VICTOR: Her Ruthless Crushby Theodora Taylor

Victor.



No last name. Totally mysterious. He doesn’t talk. He’s insanely hot. And now… I’m supposed to be spending every Thursday with him???



When my dad asked me to tutor the son of an important business associate, I thought I was agreeing to teach a little kid.



Victor’s definitely not a kid. In fact, it’s hard to believe we’re even the same age. He’s way more powerful than any boy I’ve ever met.



Also, way more intense. He stares at me in this weird way. It almost feels like obsession.



But there’s no way he could be attracted to me like I’m attracted to him. I’m just an overweight nerd with secret dreams I’ve never dared to tell anyone.



Until him.



I tell him all of my secrets.



But will I be able to handle it when I find out all of his?

Cryptofaunaby Patrick Canning

Off the coast of Norway, in the underwater bachelor pad of a dead millionaire, the apocalypse is about to begin. Somehow, this all started with an innocent can of root beer…

Jim works as a janitor at an insane asylum in rural Idaho. Just as he’s (understandably) preparing to take his own life, he’s rudely interrupted, and tossed into a game called Cryptofauna. The bizarre contest of worldwide influence is rife with danger, like shape-shifting imps and a snake-monster the size of a city bus. But there are also lessons to be learned and friends to be made. In addition to stopping that whole apocalypse thing, playing Cryptofauna might also help Jim discover a reason to live—assuming it doesn’t kill him first.

Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internetby Yasha Levine

The internet is the most effective weapon the government has ever built.

In this fascinating book, investigative reporter Yasha Levine uncovers the secret origins of the internet, tracing it back to a Pentagon counterinsurgency surveillance project.

A visionary intelligence officer, William Godel, realized that the key to winning the war in Vietnam was not outgunning the enemy, but using new information technology to understand their motives and anticipate their movements. This idea — using computers to spy on people and groups perceived as a threat, both at home and abroad — drove ARPA to develop the internet in the 1960s, and continues to be at the heart of the modern internet we all know and use today. As Levine shows, surveillance wasn’t something that suddenly appeared on the internet; it was woven into the fabric of the technology.

But this isn’t just a story about the NSA or other domestic programs run by the government. As the book spins forward in time, Levine examines the private surveillance business that powers tech-industry giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, revealing how these companies spy on their users for profit, all while doing double duty as military and intelligence contractors. Levine shows that the military and Silicon Valley are effectively inseparable: a military-digital complex that permeates everything connected to the internet, even coopting and weaponizing the antigovernment privacy movement that sprang up in the wake of Edward Snowden.

With deep research, skilled storytelling, and provocative arguments, Surveillance Valley will change the way you think about the news — and the device on which you read it.

The Gods of Menby Barbara Kloss

Sable hated the gods. She hated what men did in their name.

Magic is forbidden throughout the Five Provinces; those born with it are hunted and killed. Sable doesn’t know her music holds power over souls–not until, at age nine, she plays her flute before the desert court and accidentally stops her baby sister’s heart, killing her. Horrified by what she’s done and fearing for her life, she flees north, out of Provincial jurisdiction and into the frigid land of exiles and thieves, known as The Wilds. There, Sable lives in hiding, burdened by guilt, and survives as a healer. But now, fifteen years later, someone–or something–is hunting her.

On the run again, Sable’s best chance for survival is Jos, a lethal man from the Five Provinces, who claims to need her skills as a healer to save his dying father, and she needs the large sum of money he’s offered. There’s something about him Sable doesn’t trust, but she doesn’t have many options. A spirit of the dead is hunting her, summoned by a mysterious necromancer, and it’s getting closer.

Sable soon discovers she’s just the start of the necromancer’s plan to take over the Five Provinces, and she’s the only one with the power to stop it. But harnessing her forbidden power means revealing it to the world, and the dangerous Provincial, Jos, she’s beginning to fall for.

50 States: A collection of short short storiesby Richard Becker

50 States is a debut collection of short stories that reflect on the human condition. The book spans several literary genres, moods, and situations across the American states between 1955 and 2020.

Two runaways cross paths in a Tennessee bus station with only one ticket between them. A middle-aged man in Illinois eyes the daily grind of a young basketball player who never boards the school bus. A family sees looters racing toward their home as they escape an Oregon wildfire.

These and 47 more stories make up the collection. Together, they provide a sampling of the American experience over the last 60 years, similar to the Spoon River Anthology by Edger Less Masters or The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer with more diversity.

But with every agency in the country in hot pursuit, their only choice is to flee.

The clock is ticking. They can’t run forever. It’s time to make a choice: kill or be killed…

The Profit Hypothesis: Uncover Willingness-To-Pay Innovate Strategy and Grow Profitsby Jake Lee

Consumers will mislead you. Not on purpose though, which makes it worse.

The consumer perspective is an essential part of optimizing your business strategy. Marketers can make better business decisions if they can predict in advance what consumers will do. However, these two question types inadvertently trigger an unwanted procedure in the mind of the consumer that is at best unreliable. Despite being well intentioned, consumers are not aware of the trap that is awaiting you inside of their brain.

A well-crafted experiment allows the decision maker to side-step the psychological trap and test a wide range of hypotheses. The experiment also allows you to quantify predicted consumer behavior in the most important metric – profit.

This book will walk you through the stages of an experiment while focusing on the role of consumers play on firm profit. You’ll get an introduction to the foundations needed without all the complex math.

Whether you’ve been experimenting with consumer choices for decades or are just getting started, this book has something for anyone interested in crafting a better strategy based on a deep understanding of consumers.

The Lost History of Dreams: A Novelby Kris Waldherr

A post-mortem photographer unearths dark secrets from the past that may hold the key to his future in this “sensual, twisting gothic tale…in the tradition of A.S. Byatt’s Possession, Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale, and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights” (BookPage).

All love stories are ghost stories in disguise. “This one happily succeeds at both” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

When famed Byronesque poet Hugh de Bonne is discovered dead in his bath one morning, his cousin Robert Highstead, a post-mortem photographer, is charged with a simple task: transport Hugh’s remains for burial in a chapel. This chapel, a stained-glass folly set on the moors, was built by de Bonne sixteen years earlier to house the remains of his beloved wife and muse, Ada. Since then, the chapel has been locked and abandoned, a pilgrimage site for the rabid fans of de Bonne’s last book, The Lost History of Dreams.

However, Ada’s grief-stricken niece refuses to open the glass chapel for Robert unless he agrees to her bargain: before he can lay Hugh to rest, Robert must record Isabelle’s story of Ada and Hugh’s ill-fated marriage over the course of five nights.

As the mystery of Ada and Hugh’s relationship unfolds, so too does the secret behind Robert’s own marriage–including that of his fragile wife, Sida, who has not been the same since a tragic accident three years earlier and the origins of his morbid profession that has him seeing things he shouldn’t…things from beyond the grave.

Blurring the line between the past and the present, truth and fiction, and ultimately, life and death, The Lost History of Dreams is “a surrealist, haunting tale of suspense where every prediction turns out to be merely a step toward a bigger reveal” (Booklist).

Intro: Laconic: Sidereal Book Oneby W. H. Rose

Taein Kim, affectionately known as “Blondie”, is an incredibly talented young man and leader of the rookie K-Pop group Eclipse. Tae has his whole life and career in front of him, but it comes to a screeching halt when a standard meet and greet leads to him finding his soulmate, a foreign girl named after the goddess of love.

Venus Woods is the young heiress of the largest tech corporation in Southeastern America. Her life revolves around meaningless events and empty white walls, devoid of color and purpose. She never thought she would meet her favorite idol group, Eclipse, let alone form the incredibly rare soulmate bond with their leader. As if that’s not life-changing enough, her absent mother is determined to have the two married, using her daughter as a bargaining chip.

Separated by lifestyle, culture, and language, the teens have wall after wall between them. None of it stops the blossom of love that blooms in their hearts when they lock eyes under the cover of a thunderstorm.

For example, when you get paid from work, your money goes into your bank account. However, when you get paid in cryptocurrency, you are the bank. The money goes to you and stays with you.

There are several more easy-to-understand comparisons, and even if you’re someone who:

• Thinks cryptocurrencies cost too much;

• Doesn’t believe cryptocurrencies are ethical;

The Casebook of Sir Pendleton Stormsnout: Book 1: The Gypsy's Gleaming Eyeby Robert Feol

“Sir Pendleton Stormsnout: Legendary Detective and Seeker of Adventure.”

So reads the sign that hangs by the entrance of the palatial estate that lies on the outskirts of the sleepy hamlet known as Mouseling Hollow. For most mice, hanging such a sign outside their place of business would be sheer arrogance – a sure sign that they were either puffed-up braggarts intoxicated with their own boastfulness, or vainglorious charlatans seeking to separate the innocent from their hard-earned coin.

But Pendleton Stormsnout is most certainly not ‘most mice.’ Far from it…

For Pendleton Stormsnout, the sign that hangs outside his stately manor house is merely a simple declaration of fact – for he is both a legendary detective, and a lifelong seeker of adventure. Over the course of many seasons, the tales of his exploits have spread far and wide throughout the entirety of King Teegan’s Far Collective. The rumors say that Pendleton Stormsnout is a prodigy – a virtuoso – a ‘renaissance mouse’ in the truest sense of the phrase. They say that his powers of observation and deduction are unparalleled. That he can out-think the most distinguished scholars from the University at Old Town, out-fight the greatest champions from the Black Baron’s infamous Arena, and out-drink the thirstiest scalawags in Captain Redfur Tumblefox’s fabled Wrecking Crew. Some even whisper that he sets a finer dinner table than his neighbor, the beloved chef and innkeeper Robert Teague.

When The Feldenspar Daily is granted a rare interview with the famous detective, it quickly dispatches a pair of journalists eager to learn the truth about Sir Pendleton Stormsnout. Is he really as sharp as they say? As learned? As daring? As sophisticated? Being no stranger to news stories that have been a bit…shall we say…exaggerated, the journalists arrive at his doorstep with two questions burning on their lips: has Sir Pendleton Stormsnout really done all the things he’s said to have done? And if so, what is the source of all his amazing abilities – how did he become the celebrated mouse that he is today?

As they question Stormsnout’s butler (and chronicler of sorts) Alfred, they will discover that the answers to their questions are both much greater – and far different – than they ever could have imagined…
Discover the answers for yourself in this, the first novella in the new Mouseling Hollow Chronicles series – featuring the origin story of Sir Pendleton Stormsnout, the breakout hit character from the international best-selling A Journey to Mouseling Hollow series!

Don't Speak: A Jade Harrington Novel (Jade Harrington Series Book 1)by J. L. Brown

The nursery rhyme was wrong. Words can hurt you. 

Ambitious, twenty-something FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington cuts her vacation short to investigate the murder of a conservative radio personality only to discover that he may be the victim of a serial killer. Whitney Fairchild, the elegant and charismatic Democratic senator from Missouri, campaigns in a cutthroat race for president of the United States. Cole Brennan, the most popular conservative talk-show host in the nation, battles nightly to save his country and help the incumbent Republican president maintain his ‘inner conservative’ to win re-election.

The lives of Jade, Whitney, Cole, and the killer–who has an agenda of his own–are on a collision course. That course will not just impact them each in ways they could never have foreseen, but also the future of the United States of America. Amidst a backdrop of contemporary power politics driven by the influence of talk radio and social media, DON’T SPEAK thrills even as it explores many of the complex issues facing Americans today.

Reading If You Did What I Asked In the First Place is like sitting down with a good friend who helps you make it through the day.

The Fallen O’Connellby Lorhainne Eckhart

Thirty-five years ago, Raymond O’Connell didn’t exist, at least not until the moment Iris walked into his life. His very existence had been a secret, a carefully cultivated lie, except for the fact that he loved Iris and the six children he’d never planned on having. He’d become careless, living a life that belonged to someone else. 



Becoming Raymond O’Connell had made him forget who he really was, and when he fell in love with a fantasy he knew he couldn’t have, he put his family in danger. Ultimately, he found himself covering up a murder to protect the woman he loved, and that act forced him to walk away and return to the shadows of a secret life that he couldn’t find his way out of.



When he returns to Livingston with a son in tow, what he doesn’t expect is to be dragged from the shadows to protect a family that suddenly has a target on their backs. Soon, Raymond finds himself becoming part of a bigger, deadlier plot–one that could leave someone in his family, someone he’s sworn to stay away from, dead.



The choice he’ll have to make to protect the O’Connells could come at a heartbreaking cost. Can Raymond choose between the son he has now and the family he walked away from?

Mark and Billy Jo are back in this riveting romantic crime thriller that will keep you guessing from start to finish in a new crossover series from NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart.

“When Billy Jo is called in the middle of the night to assist a child, she ends up being kidnapped. But it appears she’s not the goal but rather a means to an end that involves Mark.” Yvonne, Bookbub Reviewer

When she gets a call late one night about a child in trouble, Billy Jo doesn’t hesitate to drive out alone. However, she arrives to find the property abandoned, and with only one bar of battery on her phone and no cell service, she realizes far too late that she’s walked into a dark situation.

As he follows her trail and retraces her steps, he soon discovers her car abandoned in a field, and he has an uneasy feeling that her disappearance isn’t an accident.

Sorry I Missed You: A Novelby Suzy Krause

A poignant and heartwarming novel about friendship, ghosting, and searching for answers to life’s mysteries.

When Mackenzie, Sunna, and Maude move into a converted rental house, they are strangers with only one thing in common–important people in their lives have “ghosted” them. Mackenzie’s sister, Sunna’s best friend, and Maude’s fiancé–all gone with no explanation.

So when a mangled, near-indecipherable letter arrives in their shared mailbox–hinting at long-awaited answers–each tenant assumes it’s for her. The mismatched trio decides to stake out the coffee shop named in the letter–the only clue they have–and in the process, a bizarre kinship forms. But the more they learn about each other, the more questions (and suspicions) they begin to have. All the while, creepy sounds and strange happenings around the property suggest that the ghosts from their pasts might not be all that’s haunting them…

Will any of the housemates find the closure they are looking for? Or are some doors meant to remain closed?

Quirky, humorous, and utterly original, Sorry I Missed You is the perfect read for anyone who has ever felt haunted by their past (or by anything else).

The Billionaire Offerby Ali Parker

“Simple awesome! The storyline was so interesting that it had me turning pages in anticipation of where it would lead.”

I’m thinking it’s finally got to be my turn.

I’ve got no man and no money. Nothing but a personality and a smile.

But maybe that’s enough this time.

The richest guy in New York is looking for a secretary, and lucky for me, he’s young and as hot as sin.

Too bad he’s an alpha asshole rich boy who’s stuck on himself. Nothing I do is right.

Throw in a crazy ex and a father that can’t stand anything that breathes in his personal space, and I. Am. Out.

He can find someone else to take notes and get his coffee.

I’m fine being broke and single. I’ve gotten good at it.

Besides, I’m not interested in a billionaire affair.

Or am I already in too deep to leave?

Sure as hell feels that way.

This is book 1 of a 3 book series. You will need to read book 2 and 3 to complete the story.
