They Will Be Coming for Us (The Jovian Universe Book 1) by Kim Catanzarite 4.2 Stars (387 Reviews)    Price verified 35 minutes ago

"A captivating science fiction series." -- BlueInk Review (starred review) "A deftly written novel with a strong plot, an intriguing portrait of a wealthy family, and a phenomenal conflict. There couldn't be a better opening for this series." -- The Book Commentary "Fans of science fiction mixed with romance and mystery will enjoy this genre-crossing novel." -- BookLife Review Book 1: They Will Be Coming for Us. In this gripping sci-fi drama, Svetlana Peterman has met her soul mate in Andrew Jovian, a young astronomer who works for Starbright International, the aerospace company his wealthy parents own. Once married, they make a home in Kirksberg, Pennsylvania, a small town famous for a UFO sighting that occurred in the 1960s. Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew's family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way. Preoccupied with only two things -- the night sky and carrying on their family lineage -- the Jovians lack social skills and often pry into Svetlana's personal life. Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew's eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind. Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway. But that's the least of her worries when she discovers the Jovians have a monumental secret that will change her fate (and that of her child's) forever -- a secret so powerful, it could alter the course of mankind. They Will Be Coming for Us is a BlueInk Notable Book and a five-star Readers' Favorite contest winner. It is the first book in The Jovian Universe series.

Ben Rehder Mysteries Box Set: Buck Fever & Gone The Next by Ben Rehder 4.3 Stars (20 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

This box set includes two mystery novels written by Edgar and Shamus Award finalist Ben Rehder. Included are BUCK FEVER (first novel in the Blanco County mystery series) and GONE THE NEXT (first novel in the Roy Ballard mystery series). BUCK FEVER: It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas. GONE THE NEXT: Meet Roy Ballard, freelance videographer with a knack for catching insurance cheats. He's working a routine case, complete with hours of tedious surveillance, when he sees something that shakes him to the core. There, with the subject, is a little blond girl wearing a pink top and denim shorts -- the same outfit worn by Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted the day before. When the police are skeptical of Ballard's report -- and with his history, who can blame them? -- it's the beginning of the most important case of his life.

A riveting new rural thriller from three-time Shamus Award nominee and two-time Derringer Award winner Richard Helms! Prosperity, North Carolina, used to be a red clay farming community populated mostly by the descendents of families that had settled the land over two centuries earlier. Then, developers from a huge city in the next county discovered its rolling hills and winding streams, and decided to turn it into a suburb. Former Atlanta cop and hometown high school football hero Judd Wheeler returned to Prosperity eight years ago to take a position as the Chief of the new Police Department. With one tragic exception, it's been a quiet, uneventful job. Now, the body of a young illegal immigrant Mexican girl has been found alongside the banks of Six Mile Creek. For the first time since his return to Prosperity, Wheeler finds himself with a murder on his hands. His investigation will place him in direct opposition with his closest childhood friend, ratchet up racial and class tensions in a community already stretched to the limit, and nearly tear his quiet little town to pieces as he searches for the murderer of Gypsy Camareno. At the same time, coincidences he can't ignore will stoke Chief Wheeler's own nightmares of terrible events years earlier, and interfere with his ability to see the case clearly. In the small North Carolina town of Prosperity, the line between desperation and salvation runs right down the middle of Six Mile Creek. "Six Mile Creek is the most engrossing crime novel I've read all year! This is a real story, with real characters.

This book ends with a phone call about another murder that will become the subject of it's own story in Book 4, but it is not a cliffhanger.

The Devil to Pay (Wicked Sons Book 1) by Emma V Leech 4.5 Stars (571 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

From the highly acclaimed , award winning author of the Girls Who Dare and the Daring Daughters, Emma V Leech, comes the exciting new series about the sons of the Girls Who Dare, Wicked Sons. Their mothers dared all for love... Their sisters did the same. What will the sons do for the women they love... A Wicked Son... Tall, dark and handsome, ridiculously wealthy, and the heir to a title. With so many blessings in his life, for this Wicked Son there is very little point in being anything more than ornamental. Or at least... that is what everyone believes, but this man has a secret. For a man in his position, if anyone discovered he is the mysterious author of The Ghosts of Castle Madruzzo, it would make him a figure of ridicule. His first novel was a tremendous success, and though his sales are excellent, he is aware he has never quite recaptured the dynamism of that first book. His readers don't seem to care and clamour for more, yet a certain lady critic keeps plaguing him with bad reviews. Somehow, she has guessed he is a nobleman, and delights in finding fault with his less elevated characters. A little time undercover should do the trick, to prove to himself, and the lady, that he is nothing if not committed to his art. A lady to be reckoned with... As the eldest-and only sensible sibling-in an overburdened family, Selina Davenport is holding onto sanity by a thread. The absolute last thing she needs is the presence in her life of an over privileged nob pretending to be something he's not. Like she can't tell at a glance that he is not the lowly gardener he is purporting to be. The nincompoop. That's not to say she isn't prepared to have a little fun at his expense. A game that gets out of hand... But when an immovable object meets an irresistible challenge, sparks are bound to fly, but will they burn down everything around them? This is the first book in the new series, Wicked Sons.

Spartacus: The Myth and the Man by M. J. Trow 3.6 Stars (19 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This is a revised version of M. J. Trow's classic biography of an ancient and unforgettable hero. 'I am Spartacus' ranks among the most famous lines in Hollywood, with its image of the man's comrades prepared to die in his place in the Kirk Douglas film. And die they did; not the actors but the real army of Spartacus, crucified in their thousands along the Appian Way that leads to Rome. Spartacus: The Myth and the Man is a revised version of M. J. Trow's original biography, the first to be written in English, of a legend who has become all things to all men. He has been the focus of a ballet and an opera. Karl Marx called him 'the finest fellow in ancient history' and a communist group in 1920s Germany tried to topple the Weimar government in his name. The humble slave from Thrace (today's Bulgaria) became a gladiator, led a revolt and took on the greatest military system in history - Rome. The Romans were understandably anxious to erase him from history, so key facts about the man are hard to come by. What we do know is that he fought not one, but six Roman armies and beat them all before his final defeat. Thoroughly researched and impressive in its breadth, Spartacus: The Myth and the Man will please readers with an interest in ancient history. Praise for Spartacus: The Myth and the Man: 'Puts the fascinating story of Spartacus and his rebellion into its historical context in great detail. I really enjoyed it' - Amazon review 'If you're interested in Ancient Rome, or really enjoyed the Kirk Douglas epic, this book is fascinating. It highlights how the Spartacus story has been used and misused down the centuries and attempts to put flesh on the bones of the story' - Amazon review M. J. Trowis a historian, biographer and crime novelist. His books include the well-known Lestrade and Maxwell series as well as non-fiction such as Who Killed Kit Marlowe? and Vlad the Impaler. Originally from Wales, he now lives on the Isle of Wight.

Excerpt from Such a Nice Guy - The Walk of Shame I define this as the walk a woman takes from a man's residence to her car after a night of bumping nasties. Did this originate with the "Bridge of Sighs" in Venice? I sure hope not. After all, it doesn't come with a prison sentence. I find this walk hurtful (sniff) and I demand an apology on behalf of my scorned brothers. Why is the walk shameful? • If the neighbors see you, they will think you're slutty. • You're wearing the same clothes from last night (with an assortment of new pulls, wrinkles, and stains). • Your sobriety has exposed my flaws. When I leave a girl's house, I take the "walk of pride" because: • If the neighbors see me, they will think I'm stud-worthy, trustworthy, and responsible for all those funny noises they heard last night (except the sirens, usually). • My wearing the same clothes makes them more weathered looking, which is fashionable for dudes. • You're beautiful and my leaving after sunrise proves you're not a vampire. I will submit a Proposition P to have it renamed the "walk of pride" in the next election. In the meantime, you can park closer, leave before sunrise, dress like a meter maid, or drive a UPS truck.

Nora and the Werewolf Wedding: A Nora Grayson Adventure (The Nora Grayson Adventures Book 1) by A.J. Maguire 4.4 Stars (11 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Everyone has secrets. Some are hidden in plain sight. Some are buried. And some date back centuries. For Nora Grayson, those secrets are always in the open. An empath and a wizard living in Boston, she sees them come through her door every day as she acts as a counselor to the supernatural among us. Cheating spouses, financial troubles, and hidden longings all unfold in her private study as she struggles to keep magic from ripping through the walls and exposing Bright creatures to humanity. Harboring secrets for the Bright doesn't pay well either, so when Constable Derrick King arrives on her doorstep with an offer her bank account can't refuse, and a smile she can't forget, she is dragged from her Boston home and plunged neck-deep into werewolf politics. But there's more at play here than a socialite wedding. For starters, the bride and mother are at odds, the groom is clueless, and the father of the bride is off catching butterflies. To make matters worse, Derrick is conducting an investigation into the bride's family that threatens to land several of the wedding party in jail. After an attendee is discovered murdered, Nora becomes the prime suspect according to this socialite werewolf family and must rely on Derrick to clear her name. With a killer on the loose, a bride gone missing, and dark family secrets surfacing, Nora and Derrick race to uncover the culprit before they both become centerpieces at a werewolf wedding feast.

Where the Seams Meet by Patrick Holcomb 4.9 Stars (19 Reviews)    Price verified 52 minutes ago

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Just ask the Romanos. Dogged by tragedy and broken dreams, they've learned the hard way that not every mistake turns into a foul ball -- and sometimes, it's the words left unspoken that cut the deepest. After fleeing 1970s San Francisco to escape the shadow of his abusive father, Frank Romano struggles to balance his firefighting career with the demands of raising his talented but challenging son, Danny. Determined to transcend his tortured past, Frank bridges the growing chasm between them the only way he knows how: through baseball. Danny's meteoric rise on the diamond draws father and son together, but a shared passion for the game can only carry them so far. When life throws the Romanos a series of knee-buckling curveballs, not even the sport they love can strengthen the withering ties that bind. As the thrilling seventh game of the 2014 World Series unfolds and chance offers them one last swing at redemption, father and son must confront their intermingled traumas to finally answer the question that torments them both: Is there life after baseball

Quigley Tree: A Novel by Linda A Lavid (Plum Barn Press) 4.7 Stars (31 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Quigley Tree drops out of college. At age 23, she's been a complete failure. If she doesn't do something soon, her life will careen into a deep, dark, irrevocable void. Tick Tock. That soon is now. From the publisher: Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite by Lorraine Cobcroft: Quigley Tree, the protagonist of Linda A. Lavid's novel of the same name, is a young woman with an odd name. A college dropout from a dysfunctional home, and recently escaped from a relationship with a narcissist, Quigley needs to find a new place to live, quickly. A unique idea sets her on a path to find accommodation in a motel in exchange for providing marketing help, but she eventually must admit she has no idea what she is doing. She is a complete mess and has no faith in her ability to do anything useful with her life. Yet a kindly couple takes her on, and, with their help, and the help of an elderly lady she befriends, she begins to reshape her life and overcome her self-destructive attitude. Quirky is the best adjective to describe this work by Linda A. Lavid. Quigley Tree is as quirky as the protagonist's name. Q (as Quigley calls herself) grew on me and won me over. I empathized with her deep feelings of insecurity and her struggle to come to terms with a fractured family and a chaotic childhood. As the story progressed, there were poignant moments, and Lavid presented some interesting perspectives on life. There were also touches of whimsy in this tale of resilience and determination. In classic literary fiction style, Lavid focuses her novel on the character and theme rather than the plot. Quigley Tree, the story, ambles along at a leisurely pace, tracking Q's growth and gradual acceptance of herself and adjustment of her attitude toward her defective mother. Pearls of wisdom are scattered in conversations with her elderly friend, her employers, and the man who eventually wins her affection. The ending tempted me to shed a few tears, touched by Quigley's care for her toddler ...

With Blood by Aaron M. Geist 4.8 Stars (9 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

The Empire of Clyos is not the safe kingdom that it once was. An unknown cult has arisen within the kingdom's borders, committing heinous crimes and sacrifices without leaving a trace behind. The name of this cult has been speculated by many, and known by few... The Shadows of Hema. They strike after the sun sets, with their cause remaining a secret. One very unfortunate mage has begun to unravel this conspiracy. Joshua is a learner of healing magic, determined to one day become an official healer and help the weak with his magical abilities. This goal has now become an impossible dream, as Joshua soon finds himself abducted by the infamous band of murderous criminals. In his attempt to escape, Joshua is introduced to the many members of this mysterious cult. He becomes aware of the reasoning behind their actions. He finds that these criminals originate from every corner of Clyos, of both elven and human races. They have sought refuge in their faction as outcasts of society. However, Joshua soon discovers that two of his captors have taken a rather uncomfortable interest in him... Aaron M. Geist is an anonymous author, going by a pen name to keep their true name concealed. This tends to happen when one is an author specializing in erotic fantasy! Because they are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, they center their writing on same-sex relationships. Same-sex relations in the erotic fantasy genre are severely lacking, and this author has taken it upon themselves to change that one book at a time.

A gritty slow burn with a Christian bent. "I Laughed Until I CRIED. What An Amazing Story!" Everyone has a war story to tell. A jaded cop struggling to come to terms with her past falls for an idealistic former Marine turned cat rescuer on the crime-infested streets of West Baltimore. Hope Kennedy is a cynical Baltimore cop. Her beat is the Mondawmin area of West Baltimore -- the most dangerous neighborhood in America's most dangerous city. And she's struggling -- unsuccessfully -- to overcome a terrible event that has come to shape her life. Hope's become angry and bitter. She's spiraling out of control. Hope has lost hope. Luke Matthews is a decorated Marine Corps combat veteran. He received the Purple Heart for a wound inflicted in Afghanistan. Now, he works as a carpenter for a nonprofit that builds homes for disabled vets. In his spare time, he volunteers with a local cat rescue. But Luke's battling his own demons. He's haunted by the war. Specifically, by a fog of war experience -- a tragic accident -- that has left him racked with guilt. When Hope and Luke meet in a dingy alley, it's anything but love at first sight. But a near-fatal accident a week later forges a bond. Eventually, in the middle of a cold Baltimore winter, a romance heats up. Little-by-little, Hope and Luke help one another feel alive again.
