The Bodyguard by Michelle Betham 4.5 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Keeping her safe was just the beginning... Lena I always knew my father wasn't a good man. The things he did weren't good. The people he knew, they weren't good people. But the one thing he'd always promised me was that I'd be safe. And I'd believed him. I'd never needed protecting from the s**t my family was involved in, until the day Bodie Bekker was assigned, by my father, to shadow my every move; protect me from a threat nobody seemed in any hurry to tell me about. Just like that I had my very own bodyguard. A stranger I didn't need, want, or welcome. A tall, arrogant, handsome stranger... But I sure as hell didn't need protecting. And, yeah, I told him that. But he didn't listen. He accepted my stubbornness. Fought my protests. He never gave up. And I didn't know it at the time, but, he couldn't, give up. Because he wasn't just protecting me. Bodie Bekker had secrets. So did my family. And somewhere in the middle was me, falling for a man I had no business going anywhere near, while my entire world was about to be torn apart... Bodie Babysitting an entitled princess wasn't my idea of fun, but I didn't get to pick and choose the jobs I was given. I went where I was told, but Lena Nielsen, man, she was a piece of work. In the beginning. Neither of us wanted to be in the situation we found ourselves in. Neither of us had a choice. That's all we had in common, in the beginning. But, as it turned out, she wasn't really the entitled princess I'd assumed she'd be. She was smart. Funny. Beautiful... And I shouldn't have let her get under my skin, the stakes were too high. Too dangerous. And I should've known better, given my past. I should've drawn that line and stayed behind it but I didn't. Couldn't. Wouldn't. But I should've. My job wasn't as simple as just protecting her. Keeping her safe was only the beginning, she had no idea what she was really being protected from; the lies that were being told. The secrets people were keeping. The danger they were ...

Lucienne (Morton County Murders Book 1) by A. L. Creek 4.1 Stars (21 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

For six months, the state of Michigan was terrorized by a man named Mark Charles Cloyd. During that time, nine women were taken. Of the nine, six were murdered, one was rescued, and two, ten years later, are still missing, presumed dead. While trolling for cases on ViCAP, FBI Special Agent LJ Tillery finds a series of murders that share an uncanny resemblance to the Morton County Murders, details never released to the press, with one glaring difference: the victims are all men. Cloyd, who was never captured, either made some big life changes or this was one helluva horrible coincidence. But Tillery didn't believe in coincidences, horrible or otherwise, and she didn't believe in big life changes. What she did believe, was that the killer was either a member of law enforcement or one of the two missing victims. She unconsciously crossed her fingers and hoped for the former. Please god, don't let it be one of the victims.

Some Call It Trypophobia by Petronius Jablonski (Chandelier Press) 3.6 Stars (7 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Clusters of small holes present no obvious danger, yet they induce a primal fear reserved for snakes and death. A recent study only augments the mystery, raising more questions than it answers. Trypophobia is a discovery, not an illness, an encounter with terrible wisdom, the first step on a convoluted path to some dark enlightenment. Found so often in nature, object of apprehension and meditation throughout the ages, this pattern is a symbolic code. Some Call It Trypophobia deciphers it and reckons with the message. Everyday life is more terrifying and bizarre than vampires or zombies. A potent narcotic called Routine numbs you from its primordial strangeness. The essay and stories in this collection peel away the thick callus of familiarity, revealing the world in all its raw horror. Join the Sentinels of the Chandelier. The idea that enlightenment requires a seated posture of meditation is wishful thinking. Accessing the Chandelier of Consciousness, the transcendent mind of which each sentient being is a crystal, demands great exertion and danger. The first amendment protects freedom of religion but not felonies. (Based on an undercover exposé.) Why does a man climb a mountain? To taste the distilled essence of life, to glimpse the clandestine maneuvers of his soul, and to learn the illusory nature of personal identity from a prehistoric ground sloth. (Inspired by a disastrous attempt on Denali.) Defilers of burrows, scourges of the underworld, are Dachshunds not magnificent? Yet it comes as a surprise that the purpose of creation is them, not us. When you meet a wandering sage and his wiener dog, worse news follows. Apparently Schrödinger did not have a cat. (This story has been expanded to convenient novel size.) Letting your girlfriend drag you to Burning Man, what were you thinking? Her brainless ideas -- foolish in theory, disastrous in practice, subjected to the analytic rigor of a child at Chuck E. Cheese's -- why don't you act as the ...

iLaugh iCry: Escape to the Waste Land (Unplugged Book 1) by Q.T. Pi 4.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Wouldn't it be nice if the future wasn't full of kids who always had their face buried in their phones? In iLaugh iCry there is no such thing as a cell phone or a tablet. Instead, the technology has become a part of man's anatomy. Tyson Weeks was months away from graduation. He was never fond of The United Network or the system that tore him away from his family, but he had no other choice than to find his fit in the system. It was either follow the rules or be unplugged. And once a person was unplugged they had to go the Waste Lands. His dream was to live as dull a life as possible. Get through school, move to the country, and stay off the radar. After all, the one thing in life he had always excelled at was being average. While his sister earned top marks and made the family proud, he was ostracized for mediocrity. However, for some individuals, dull and average is exactly what they're looking for. Like Platypus Canary, who is number on The United Network's intelligence branch (GIA's) most wanted list. For someone like Platypus, dull and average was exactly what she needed. iLaugh iCry is the first book in the Unplugged series; it's a sci-fi satire touching on themes of modern addiction to technology, isolation, and of course an authoritarian government. Tyson Weeks is not the hero that can bring freedom to the masses, but he is the dull vessel of hope his world needs.

The Sapphire Sea: A Matt Ransom Mystery by Bobby Underwood 4.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

With its sexy mix of thrilling action and tangible sensuality, and a willingness to tackle subjects such as abuse and incest, suicide and faith within an entertaining sci-fi/mystery series often focused on global conspiracies in a world devoid of real love, The Sapphire Sea might just be the finest and most entertaining entry yet in the Matt Ransom canon. Big and sprawling -- there are over thirty pivotal and recurring characters -- yet almost uncomfortably intimate at times, the world of Matt Ransom is both intoxicating and addictive. By the seventh entry the world of Matt Ransom had moved from a dystopian Earth to one nearly fully recovered. In the previous entry, A Matt Ransom Christmas, readers were treated to intrigue as well as an ode to that most cherished of holidays. A startling story-line began to emerge that promised to rock this world to its foundations. That promise is fulfilled in The Sapphire Sea, a morally and sensually complex tearing down of everything readers thought they understood about this world. The Sapphire Sea remains true to all the intricate story-lines which preceded it, not to mention those all-important relationships, yet takes this most unique series in new and fresh directions. A Matt Ransom entry with one poignant moment after another, more achingly sensual encounters than can be counted, and a thrilling revenge and conspiracy story which moves like lightning despite being interwoven with the moral quandary Matt finds himself facing. The Sapphire Sea is the most ambitious Matt Ransom entry to date, which is saying a great deal. Stunning and heartbreaking, this one is so shocking, readers will find themselves asking: "Did that just happen?" A lot does happens here that could not have been anticipated by readers, including some deeply moving departures of beloved characters. A tearful yet uplifting ending make this one of the most memorable entries in the entire Matt Ransom canon.

In The Seven Realms of Pythus, stories of messengers filled the air of bustling taverns and the pages of bedtime stories. Identified by their stark red scarves and Kretian Paints, they were some of the most notable and important factors in Pythus' rise to Kinghood, and the seemingly eternal peace that came after. Centuries into that peace, though there were couriers still, none were known to live up to the legends. Except for one. In the Spring of 864 A.E., a small courier, still holding on to the old ways, was tasked with delivering a letter that held the potential to alter the course of history itself. "In a world without war for nearly a thousand years, one tends to wonder what secrets lurk in the shadows."

What an imaginative and smart idea! And it holds together well and fails to become repetitive, as it so easily could have done. James is a compelling character, and you create great sympathy for him and his plight. Congratulations on a fine achievement! Alana Wilcox, Senior Editor, Coach House Books.

The set-up for a bad joke? Nope (well, maybe that, too) -- just a typical day at the office for adventuring partners Heloise, Erithea's most beautiful, witty, talented, and occasionally prone to talking in the third-person half-elven bard, and her powerful hill giant companion, Grimple, who doesn't look like a hill giant anymore because he made the mistake of crossing a lich and getting illusioned (yes, it's a word... or, at least, we're going to pretend it's one) into something even more ridiculous.

Part parody, part homage, and all woman, The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple lampoons the greatest fantasy adventures of yore even as it upholds the very best traditions of the genre (and, I might add, looks really good doing it).

Into the Americas (A novel based on a true story) by Lance Morcan (Sterling Gate Books) 4.4 Stars (884 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

INTO THE AMERICAS (A novel based on a true story) is a gritty, real-life adventure based on one of history's greatest survival stories. It was inspired by the diary entries of young English blacksmith John Jewitt during his time aboard the brigantine The Boston and also during his sojourn at Nootka Sound, on North America's western seaboard, from 1802 to 1805. Written by father-and-son writing team Lance & James Morcan (authors of The World Duology and The Orphan Trilogy), INTO THE AMERICAS is a tale of two vastly different cultures - Indigenous North American and European civilization - colliding head on. It is also a Romeo and Juliet story set in the wilderness. Nineteen year-old blacksmith John Jewitt is one of only two survivors after his crewmates clash with the fierce Mowachaht tribe in the Pacific Northwest. A life of slavery awaits John and his fellow survivor, a belligerent American sailmaker, in a village ruled by the iron fist of Maquina, the all-powerful chief. Desperate to taste freedom again, they make several doomed escape attempts over mountains and sea. Only their value to the tribe and John's relationship with Maquina prevents their captors from killing them. As the seasons pass, John 'goes Indian' after falling in love with Eu-stochee, a beautiful maiden. This further alienates him from his fellow captive whose defiance leads to violent consequences. In the bloodshed that follows, John discovers another side to himself - a side he never knew existed and a side he detests. His desire to be reunited with the family and friends he left behind returns even stronger than before. The stakes rise when John learns Eu-stochee is pregnant. When a final opportunity to escape arises, he must choose between returning to civilization or staying with Eu-stochee and their newborn son. INTO THE AMERICAS has been adapted to a feature film screenplay and is in early development with Morcan Motion Pictures.
