Shadows Maps and Other Ancient...

Meghan Ciana Doidge

I had new cupcakes to bake, a new treasure to hunt, and a new dragon in town — literally. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic filling their days with chocolate, trinket collecting, and martial arts training? 
            Yeah … me. 
            Because no matter how much chocolate I ate, I couldn’t fill the dark pit in my soul. A darkness born from blood alchemy. A darkness that reeked of the black magic I now knew I was capable of creating. 
            Maybe it was time to walk away. 
            But what if there were important things left to do? What if I was the only one who could do what needed to be done? 
            I wasn’t sure I could handle the responsibility, but as long as I had my chocolate stash and a good friend to back me up, I was willing to give it a try.

Dear Jack: Love Letters from...

Jyll Steen

She calls herself his wife. She kills to prove it.  
"Jyll and Jack went up the hill… and only Jyll came back."  
It’s been six years since Jack Steen walked away from Jyll Steen—the woman who believes she is his secret wife, the daughter of a killer, and now a killer herself. But Jyll never forgot.   
Not the Vegas weekend. Not the rejection. And not the secrets Jack carries in his midnight recordings.  
In her first letter, Jyll whispers her devotion in rhyme before confessing her latest crime: the abduction and unraveling of a man who reminded her just a little too much of Jack.   
Every detail is for him—every cut, every lie, every breath.  
Dear Jack: Love Letters from Your Serial Killer Wife begins here—with a vow written in blood, a souvenir meant just for him, and a chilling reminder that Jyll isn’t done. Not by a long shot.

‘Stunning, stunning, stunning’ Anstey Harris
This is the story of Ella.
And Robert.
And of all the things they should have said, but never did.
‘What have you been up to?’
I shrug, ‘Just existing, I guess.’
‘Looks like more than just existing.’
Robert gestures at the baby, the lifeboat, the ocean.
‘All right, not existing. Surviving.’
He laughs, not unkindly. ‘Sounds grim.’
‘It wasn’t so bad, really. But I wish you’d been there.’
Ella has known Robert all her life. Through seven key moments and seven key people their journey intertwines.
From the streets of Glasgow during WW2 to the sex, drugs and rock n’ roll of London in the 60s and beyond, this is a story of love and near misses. Of those who come in to our lives and leave it too soon. And of those who stay with you forever…Readers LOVE When the Music Stops!
