"A wild ride. We got not just one dysfunctional, dangerous villain but two. Even when I think I know what's going on Michael manages to pull a surprise out of his hat." "If you're a fan of Freida McFadden, David Baldacci, or Harlan Coben, you'll find this book captivating and imaginative."

The result: A twisty mystery, spiked with psychological and cultural implications, all playing out in sun-drenched Santa Monica. Police Detectives Mollie Granger and Greg Nichols respond to a call near the world-famous pier. A dead male, shot in the forehead at close range, is posed in the sand. He's Keith Victor, a serial killer who's murdered six persons and kidnapped a possible seventh, Chrissy Weeks. Meanwhile, six miles away, Weeks walks into a police station, says, "I think you've been looking for me," and claims Victor dropped her off outside an hour earlier. Quite the trick, given the coroner says Victor's been dead for thirty-six hours. Weeks, a narcissist with a complex backstory, views most people as chess pieces to be played. And she's playing at mega speed, even though her never-ending lies and moves - some of which backfire - quickly turn her into a suspect from a victim. The case comes at a difficult time for Granger, a middle-class white cop having relationship problems with Gwen Seward, a wealthy African-American civil rights attorney. They've drifted apart since the George Floyd murder shined a bright light on their differences and challenges. They've even tabled plans for marriage and kids.

Fracked, Part One: The Hunter by Maureen Driscoll (6 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Author's Note: FRACKED was originally published on Kindle's Vella platform for serialized storytelling. This novel contains episodes one through thirty of the FRACKED Vella saga. It is a serialized novel and each of the first three books ends on a cliffhanger -- similar to seasons of a TV show -- until the story concludes in the fourth and final book. If you don't like cliffhangers, you will not like these books. Fracking has opened up a portal to hell in the California desert in this dramedy saga of good versus evil. And while there are actual demons wreaking havoc on the nearby area, there are also demons of a metaphorical kind. Racism, the war in Vietnam, homophobia and the economics of growing older but poorer are all featured in this series by a former writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live. In this first installment, 52-year-old Stephanie Matthews inherits a house in an over-55 community in the California desert, after the sudden death of her aunt. As demons emerge from a nearby fracking site, Stephanie teams up with two former Black Panthers, a Vietnam Vet and a retired teacher to stop them. Allies and enemies are unveiled as the demons begin their quest to destroy humanity. But as events from the past come back to haunt Stephanie's friends, it becomes clear that sometimes the demons which are hardest to kill are the ones in all of us. FRACKED is a comedy/drama which touches on the battle of good versus evil and the many shades of grey in-between.

Galactic Plunder: A LitRPG Isekai Adventure by Mitchell Sean (10 Reviews)    Price verified 29 minutes ago

In the dawn of a distinct universe, a cosmic event occurred where its seven original Concepts, the very pillars of its existence, gained self-awareness. These Concepts, beings of limitless knowledge and power, embarked on a relentless quest to enrich their nascent domain. Their strategy was one of cosmic plunder: invading diverse universes, abducting emerging civilizations, and appropriating a plethora of innovative ideas. This relentless pursuit has led to a vibrant and tumultuous cosmos, where a vast array of creatures, divine entities, advanced societies, and distinct species relentlessly struggle for supremacy, all aspiring to ascend to the prestigious yet unclaimed eighth throne of power. Millennia upon millennia passed in this fashion, and then, in a pivotal moment of cosmic significance, Earth was abruptly uprooted from the comforting warmth of its solar system. This event marked the beginning of humanity's forced integration into this grand cosmic tapestry. The initiation rite for Earth's denizens was a challenging Tutorial, a test of survival and adaptability. Among all Earthlings, it was Alexios who, through a blend of serendipity and misfortune, emerged as the foremost conqueror of this daunting trial. His triumph was a double-edged sword: while he was bestowed with a gift resembling immortality, a semblance of deathlessness, his victory also designated him as the vanguard of his species. This honor thrust him into the treacherous realm of Elysium, a world renowned among the cosmos for its unparalleled dangers, a creation of the omnipotent Concepts themselves. The statistics were grim -- nine out of every ten champions who set foot in Elysium perished on their initial day. Yet, Alexios stood apart from the rest, armed not just with his wits and courage but also blessed with the boon of multiple existences, a multitude of opportunities to navigate the perils of this most formidable of worlds.
