About The Book:
From a mesmerizing new literary voice comes a story of obsessive friendship, chilling powers, and untimely death for readers of dark academia classics like If We Were Villains and The Secret History.
An unnamed narrator arrives at Cambridge University in the early aughts determined to reinvent himself. His northern accent marks him as an outsider, but thanks to his musical gifts, he manages to fall in with his wealthy classmate, Bryn Cavendish.
A charismatic party host and talented magician, Bryn enthralls the narrator. But something seems to happen to those who challenge or simply irk Bryn—and they aren’t ever the same again.
The narrator begins to suspect that Bryn may be concealing terrifying gifts under the guise of magic tricks. As the tension between them grows, a harrowing encounter is followed by Bryn’s death.
Alternating between their time as students and the narrator’s return to Cambridge years later, where he fears the ghosts of his past are waiting for him, And He Shall Appear performs an astounding slight-of-hand that throws every version of the story into question.
This propulsive novel about the dark power of privilege will haunt readers like a familiar piece of music with endless iterations.
About The Book:
In a world beset by anger and fear, what does it mean to protect one’s home and family?
Olive and Gabe — her older brother’s best friend — are deeply in love. They want nothing more than to make a home and family together, especially after the overdose death of Olive’s brother, Chris. It won’t be easy. Gabe works three jobs, and Olive still needs to finish high school, but their future together feels certain and right.
But when Samir Paudel moves into the house across the street, Olive's and Gabe’s lives are disrupted. The Paudel house is overfull with family and friends, and they play loud music at all hours. Yet Olive is drawn to them, particularly to Samir’s little nephew, Bhim, and his grandfather, Hajurba.
Yet Samir’s very presence seems to awaken in Gabe an intense anger — toward immigrants he believes are taking resources from White Americans — resources that would have saved Chris and his own father, who has lost his job and is now struggling with ill health and alcoholism.
When Olive realizes that Gabe and his family are the source of escalating aggressions toward the Paudels, she no longer recognizes the loyal, loving boy she fell in love with.
About The Book:
John and Adele have been together for over two decades and have a son. Their relationship has been on a downhill trajectory for many years.
One evening, en route to their annual holiday destination, they run out of fuel in a remote location. To whom can they go for assistance? Suddenly, in the darkness, their lives take an unexpected turn. They meet three mysterious but benevolent strangers who offer to help them. In observing Adele and John, they pose to the couple an unusual challenge that seeks to address the core problems in their marriage. John and Adele find the proposal odd but intriguing. While it may have advantages, it could be risky and dangerous. But unresolved emotions and unhealed wounds, as well as long-buried memories can also have hazardous and unpredictable consequences. Will they dare to accept this challenge or not?
This unique novel, while aimed at taking a fresh perspective on relationships, is uplifting, relaxing, and is meant to be enjoyed.
About The Book:
A thrilling WWII adventure that reimagines the evacuation of Dunkirk... with dragons!
May 10, 1940
Everyone in Iris's small English village avoids the dragon in the woods. Everyone, that is, except for Iris. She knows Galahad would never hurt her--she's been caring for the dragon since he lost his mother when he was a baby. When Galahad is accused of stealing military rations, Iris strikes a bargain that will spare Galahad's life... but send him off to the war brewing in Europe. Soon after, she receives news that her brother is among the troops trapped in France by the advancing German troops. Refusing to give up hope, Iris devises a desperate plan that will either save both her brother and her best friend--or end in disaster.
Meanwhile in Belgium, Max's school day is abruptly interrupted by some terrifying news: The Germans have invaded his country. He and his grandmother are forced to flee for their lives west toward France where they hope to find safety. But when they are separated after a German attack, Max must continue the treacherous journey on his own.
Across hundreds of miles, the stories of Iris and Max steadily converge toward an explosive conclusion that will change them both forever. Along the way, they each must find the inner strength and resolve--the valor--to do the impossible. Author Sam Subity blends history and fantasy to tell a story like no other--an exhilarating adventure about the power of friendship, hope, and courage.

About The Book:
An unsuspecting teen discovers a secret that lures her into the snare of a ruthless crime boss. Can she survive his twisted game?
When her dad dies during a business trip to Romania, Kat Barrett blames herself for their broken relationship. She's racked with guilt, haunted by strange dreams about the crash that killed him, and she’d do anything to have him back.
Then a package arrives. It’s from her dad and contains a list of clues — one of his classic scavenger hunts. Desperate for answers, she follows the clues to Bucharest and meets Maksim, a local with a dark past who offers to help. Kat doesn't trust him, but when she hits a dead end, she’s left with no other choice.
As they work together, decoding the clues while trying (unsuccessfully) not to fall for each other, the scavenger hunt reveals a dangerous secret the dreams have been pointing to, something Maksim’s old crime ring has been hiding all along, and Kat has walked into their trap.
Can she beat them to the final clue — and solve it — before she suffers the same tragic fate as her dad?
Get ready for an exhilarating ride that will keep you guessing until the final, breathtaking conclusion. Perfect for fans of puzzle mysteries like Inheritance Games and Da Vinci Code and clever crime fiction like 'Sherlock', The Reappearance of Rachel Price, and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

About The Book:
Kayden Moses has worked for 15 years to be a good pastor's son. He's volunteered at every Vacation Bible School, never missed a youth group meeting, and tries to follow the example of his spiritually gifted twin sister, Delilah. However, all his diligent efforts are disrupted when he meets the biggest stumbling block of his life: Alex. He's the new boy in youth group, bubbly and opinionated and dizzyingly nice to look at. Suddenly, Kayden finds himself caught in a spiral of confusion and asking questions he's never asked before. Who is Kayden Moses? Because he's certainly not a good pastor's son anymore.
About The Book:
In April 1897, a strange airship crashed in Aurora, Texas and the "unearthly" pilot was buried in the local cemetery. Today, the pilot finally awakened. God help us all.
In July 2015, supernatural sleuth Kevin Starkly disappeared mysteriously in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. What secrets did he uncover about the Aurora UFO crash, and has he paid a terrible price for his curiosity?
Four twenty-something paranormal investigators, a self-styled "Nerd Legion," ―Tony Fermia (a psychic who talks to ghosts in his dreams), John Walters (an art curator), Rich Harrigan (a skeptical science teacher), and Angel McQueen (an alien abductee and Tony's high-school crush)―travel across a haunted America searching for their old friend Starkly. The group soon find themselves entangled in a terrifying conspiracy to resurrect the alien pilot―a plot that brings them face-to-face with a ghastly enemy and has them fighting for their lives and for the future of humanity.

About The Book:
My name is Hecate Grimm, and I own
a bookshop. It’s pretty average as far as bookstores go. Nothing special to see
here, or at least that’s what my regulars believe. They also think I’m a
ventriloquist, special effects guru, and dedicated actress.
Clearly, when it was raining brains, the vast majority went out with umbrellas.
I’ve told them, time and time again that I’m a witch, and this is a haunted
bookstore, which is why it’s called The Haunt.
But no, it’s much easier to believe I wasted time learning to throw my voice
and hanging invisible wires all over the place. After all, you’re modern
people. How could anything supernatural be going on right under your noses?
Maiden, Mother, and Crone—the stupidity of it makes me sick. I guess you can
come in if you must. Look around and actually buy something since you’ve had
the audacity to interrupt my book. Just don’t wear out your welcome or waste my
time with your idiotic questions. I have fictional characters to get back to,
and they’re all more interesting than you.
About The Book:
An unforgettable novel that
captures the power of longing, loss, and love, The Time Keepers transports
us from 1979 suburban New York to war-torn Vietnam, revealing that sometimes
the most unexpected friendships can save us.
Two women from different worlds, Grace and Anh, are indelibly changed when a
runaway boy is found on a street in their small Long Island town. Brought
together by the love of this child displaced by war, the women find friendship
and healing from their own painful pasts when their lives intersect with a
mysterious wounded Vietnam vet. The vet, Jack, works at the Golden Hours, a
watch store that mends timepieces—and might even mend damaged souls.
Richman interweaves the journeys of these wonderfully diverse characters who
will grip, fill, and break your heart—only to bring them together with the care
and precision of an expert watchmaker, one piece at a time. Inspired by the
true story of a Vietnamese refugee who entrusted the dramatic account of her escape
from Vietnam to the author, and also that of a wounded veteran, Richman sheds
light on those whose lives were forever impacted by the devastation of that
war.
