The Culling: The Luna's Vampire Prince Book 1 by Bella Moondragon (6 Reviews)    Price verified 4 minutes ago

Prince Rafe leans over me, holding himself up on one elbow as he gazes at my face. I feel his eyes wandering over every surface from my brow to my eyes, down my nose, to my lips and chin, and then returning to hold my gaze for a second. The small smile at the corner of his mouth makes me think he likes what he sees. His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don't jerk away from him. I have no idea what's going on. I don't understand why I'm here. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. It seems like a lot of powerful people want me -- dead or alive. And yet, all I can think about right now is how badly I want this vampire's hands on my body. *** I live in a desolate village on the edge of the Vampire King's lands. This used to be wolf shifter territory, but now, we are just trying to survive. When I mess up and find myself in a culling, I know I'm dead. No wolf shifters ever survive these events. And after the stunt I pulled in the middle of the village, Prince Rafe probably wants me dead. Is it a good thing or a bad thing when a vampire looks at you like you're a snack? Something tells me, once I reach the castle, I'll be missing my miserable existence in the village. But then -- it turns out I have no freaking idea who I even am, and when the royals start referring to me as Princess Ainslee, I realize my life is about to take a turn -- for better or worse. Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger. You will need to read Books 2 and 3 to finish Ainslee and Rafe's tale.(But it's so good, you'll want to keep reading!)

A Knock at the Door: Who is she? Who was she? by Peter Rowlands (218 Reviews)    Price verified 31 minutes ago

A brain-teasing mystery that grabs you right from the start - and then delivers A bedraggled woman turns up on Rory Cavenham's doorstep in the middle of a storm, convinced that the year is 1972, but claiming to have lost her memory. Despite his own troubled past, Rory is drawn to her; but she's fearful of authority and frightened of mysterious pursuers, and insists on keeping a low profile as she adjusts to modern life. Determined to help her, Rory finds links to two strong but compromised women, but the truth behind their interlocking stories remains elusive. Meanwhile, the pursuers turn out to be all too real, and the pace builds as the story lunges towards its remarkable and redemptive climax. Fast-moving and engrossing, A Knock at the Door defies easy categorisation. It is part mystery thriller, part detective story, and part romance. It even hovers on the edge of science fiction, though it always keeps both feet firmly on the ground. One beta reader reports "snatching at the pages" to find an explanation for the brain-teasing paradox at the heart of the novel: who is the woman, and how can she be the person she appears to be? Readers who have enjoyed Peter Rowlands' popular Mike Stanhope mysteries will be fascinated by this complex and intriguing tale. Like them, it is distinguished by vibrant characters and sparkling dialogue, but it also introduces some beguiling new ingredients that add extra edge to the mix. Plaudits for Peter Rowlands' mystery novels: "Different, colourful, imaginative and infectious. He draws you into a world where you're never quite sure what's happening or how it will end." "I've devoured his books with increasing respect... " "Rowlands' plots are unique, and as detailed and intricate as you will find anywhere... " "It really makes a difference when an author knows how to tell a story... I just went along for the ride, and it was a good one."

"... Tait's writing pulls the reader into Vandy's world with striking descriptions that vividly capture the settings, and introduces characters in a few deft strokes, making them lifelike and believable... A promising historical fantasy series debut... "--Kirkus Reviews Magic isn't the only thing he inherited! Trick rider in a traveling circus, seventeen-year-old Vandemere (Vandy) Petruska is caught between two worlds. As Vandy Davidson, he lives the legacy of the father who abandoned him, performing on his beloved horses in the circus ring. But he's also his Romanian mother's son. As Vandy Petruska, he seeks to deny the tarot magie his mother has gifted to him. But as the magie's power over him grows stronger, he becomes aware that the bad luck in his life isn't an accident. When his Romanian ancestors immigrated to America on the back of a trick horse, they brought something with them. Something evil. Now this evil is attacking him, and Vandy will have to learn to accept his mother's magie if he is ever going to defeat the entity that has marked him for death. Set against the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the 1930s American Southwest, Vandemere is a lyrical coming-of-age story that infuses magical realism into a young man's journey towards manhood. Vandemere is part one of a duology and the first book in the series. For the best experience, the author suggests reading Vandemere first. Fire Horse is the second book of the duology. It is possible to read the books out of sequence but not recommended. This book is a gritty depiction of life in the 1930s American Southwest. It contains violence, coarse language, self-harm, and sexual situations. Some of its darker themes may be triggering to sensitive readers. Please use discretion when deciding if this book is right for you.

Hidden in Broad Daylight is the first book in The Apara Chronicles, a Paranormal Sci-fi Fantasy full of strong women characters existing in the world of the Apara. The Apara Chronicles takes paranormal beings and turns the table on them, making them the grain of truth behind the lore, dropping many of the tropes, in favor of much more 'human' non-humans... but they still BITE!

Tessa Waterford's life may not have hit a dead end, but she's been circling the round-about of life for the last two years, until she sees an ad in the local paper for a job she MUST apply for!

It doesn't take long before Tess discovers the truth, but her special qualities prevent them from removing the knowledge from her mind. She becomes stuck between human reality and that of The Apara. She can't sit idly by while the Apara man responsible for her must prevent an ominous, but undefined threat to humanity.

Mr. MESSAGE: Can sexting be better than the real thing? Mr. Message has ideas on that… (Mr. Message series Book 1) by A.R. Willows (21 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

I'm a hardworking and unrewarded estate agent in London. My evenings? Netflix. My relationship status? You're kidding, right? Divorced. Messily. With a hefty therapist bill. Oh, I'm Jen by the way. And bills aren't my only problem. The divorce left me with crippling self-doubt. So romance is limited to lusting over fictional characters, glass of wine in hand, rather than dating. This takes a twist when I move to Instagram and start talking to... er, well, I call him Mr. Message. The mysterious Mr. Message can relate to my problems. He's also a master of guided scenes, even in public, that intoxicate me. Like you haven't thought about it. But it all comes with a proviso. A 'no feelings' agreement. Until he invites me to a concert. And a single night of sex. But maybe I do have feelings. And maybe this is the last thing I need. Especially if he does too. Should I go?
