Beneath the surface, the dead are waiting… When mermaid private investigator Alexis Silver is summoned by her CIA handler for a “quiet favor,” she expects another classified errand. Instead, she’s flown to rural Oregon, where a long-forgotten reservoir hides a drowned town, and a Cold War listening post built to monitor something the Agency still refuses to name. But the lake holds more than secrets. As Alex dives into the sunken streets of Haskell Springs, she finds spirits drifting through ruined storefronts and ghostly figures glaring from the windows of submerged houses. Some plead for help. Some want justice. And some want vengeance. The deeper she goes, the more Alex realizes the truth: the dead are growing stronger, bold enough to reach into the world above and kill the innocent. When Alex learns that the spirits plan to destroy a vulnerable family, she races to intervene, only to discover the haunting is tied to something far older, stranger, and more powerful than restless ghosts. To stop the killings, Alex must navigate spectral politics, ancient magic, government secrets, and a mystery buried since 1952. But saving the living means confronting a force the CIA once tried to hide at the bottom of a lake… one the spirits won't let go without a fight. Sunken towns. Angry ghosts. Hidden artifacts, and a mermaid detective caught between the dead and the classified. Silver Lake is a fast-paced paranormal mystery filled with danger, dark humor, and the unstoppable heart of Alexis Silver: mermaid, mother, and supernatural detective. Dive in if you dare.

When science and secrets collide, where cures can kill, and the best intentions lead to deadly peril. Determined to avoid an arranged marriage, Lady Olivia stowed away inside a dirigible. Only to find herself imprisoned in a castle with no hope of rescue. So much for proving herself a worthy spy. Worse, survival hinges upon feigning marriage to the suspected double agent she was tailing—the handsome scientist Lord Rathsburn. A mad count has kidnapped Rathsburn’s sister, and demands as the price of her freedom Rathsburn’s greatest invention: a bone-hardening technology to transform the count’s guardsmen into invincible soldiers. Neither can trust the other. But their lives depend on working together: to keep their captors off-balance long enough to perfect Rathsburn’s technology, free his sister, escape the clutches of the count and—most of all—to keep this groundbreaking research out of enemy hands.

"An author who knows the horror genre very well. Suspenseful and gripping right up to the chilling finale!" –William Jack Sibley, author of Here We Go Loop de Loop Crime reporter John Blackwood is looking for answers to the biggest story of all time-a mystery older than creation itself. But making this deadline won't be easy, especially if a murderous cult tied to Judas Iscariot and a trio of ravenous vampiric sisters can stop him It all begins with an ancient grimoire hidden centuries ago in the wilds of Spanish Texas by a secret order of Catholic warrior-priests to keep the tome's deadly secrets from falling into the wrong hands. Unearthed in modern times, the forces of evil will let nothing stand in their way to possess the book and restore an insane, renegade angel to power. As a new ice age borne of the dark arts threatens to engulf the planet, Blackwood is running out of time to save mankind from enslavement... or worse. Can a mere mortal outwit sinister beings beyond comprehension while preventing the apocalypse? Daughters Drear by Thomas Edwards is a bone-chilling tale of horror you won't be able to put down.

One sassy pyromaniac thief, three sexy-as-sin monsters, and a paranormal conspiracy of epic proportions. It was an ordinary job. Another night, another asshole collector of the supernatural. I free some poor little beasties from their cages, pocket a few trinkets to pay my bills, and burn the place down on my way out. Just call me the Robin Hood of monster emancipation. I didn’t count on three manly monsters following me home like lost puppies. Stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. Now I’ve got a seductively cheeky incubus, a sweetly enthusiastic demon, and a grimly stoic angel camped out in my kitchen. They’re determined to repay me for my help, and they won’t get out of my apartment until they’re satisfied we’re even. To be fair, they’ve got no place else to go. A covert band of hunters captured their boss, and the trail is ice-cold. I’ll lend a hand if it means I can send them packing… and when it looks like we’re up against the same creeps who murdered the person I loved most, you’d better believe I’m all in. Track down the baddies. Steal back the boss. Don’t get killed along the way. Oh, and maybe hook up with a monstrous hottie or two. Piece of cake. I’m so going to regret this. * Shadow Thief is the first book in a light-hearted urban fantasy series from bestselling author Eva Chase. If you love kickass heroines with sass to spare, drool-worthy monsters who have their own sense of morality, and steamy romances where the men know how to share, dive in now!*

The inferno comes calling in this genre-bending epic of urban horror. Visceral, surreal, and darkly funny, I Live in Hell balances damnation with heart, humor, and a touch of absurdity. On his twenty-fifth birthday, Hector Ghouseau wakes up soaked in piss. That’s normal. His dreams of ravenous flies and swinging corpses? Not so much. Nightmares become reality when evil talking mice and giant sentient tongues show up to tell him that he's going to Hell—all thanks to a drunken bet between his dead father and a sadistic demon named "Bub." (Thanks, Dad.) To make matters worse, Bub recruits a knife-happy maniac to help stain the Chicago snow red. And when Hector's roommate and ex-girlfriend both get caught in the fallout, his only shot at saving them might be his own death. Between dive bars and work hangovers, Hector stumbles into a cosmic tug-of-war of absurd proportions and incomprehensible horror—where the rules don’t make sense, and God is hiding something big. Praise from Goodreads “ I Live in Hell by Mike Salinas is wild, weird, and honestly kind of genius.” “Fast-paced, character-driven horror that doesn’t pull its punches.” “The humor hits, the darkness hits, and somehow, it still makes you feel something real.” “For all its insanity, I Live in Hell is actually a pretty solid look at the impact of trauma.” “What did I just read, and why do I want more?” “For anyone who’s ever lived, wallowed, or loved in Chicago.” “Mike Salinas has that dog in him—even if that dog is a little deranged.”
