Sinopse

The world just keeps getting tougher and more complicated. America teeters on the edge of bankruptcy because of crushing foreign debt and an apparent savior, The Talos Corporation, delivers training for soldiers and security forces around the world, logistical support and badly-needed troops economically, but with a hidden cost that’s both sinister and disturbing.The three rookie FBI agents who survived the challenges portrayed in Quantico, have gone their separate ways but seem fated to be drawn back together in an alliance against a surprising challenge for which no one seems prepared. Rebecca Rose is brought back from an extended sabbatical when the President is shot and her second-in-command is implicated in an horrific crime—and all the threads point deeper into Talos’s secretive activities. Fouad Al-Husam, working undercover inside Talos, has uncovered and been forced to hide vital information of a takeover plot that threatens America’s independence.Nathan Trace, victim of a violent incident in the Middle East, struggles with post-traumatic stress and seems to be recovering through participation in a treatment program, code-named Mariposa, which has unexpected side-effects that turn patients into brilliant, detached and sociopathic individuals—very smart and extremely deadly.Only a desperate combination of misfits and survivors can combat an apparently inevitable collapse of American organization that will lead to the fall of democracy.

    It's the trip of a lifetime. What could go wrong? 
    When Kelly Silverman wins a trip to an exclusive masquerade ball at an English manor, she's convinced it's the perfect opportunity for a glamorous getaway—after all, what could go wrong in the picturesque countryside? Jodi, however, is less impressed by the creepy Larkin Manor, the endless rain, and a butler straight out of a horror film. She’d much rather be sipping cocktails on a sunny cruise. 
    But the sisters’ attempt at a sophisticated weekend quickly spirals into a mix of mayhem and mystery when the enigmatic host drops dead, face-first, into his own dramatic secrets-revealing soirée. Suddenly, Kelly and Jodi are front and center, accused of a crime they didn't commit, trapped with a houseful of eccentric suspects, and navigating halls named things like “The Burning Aisle.” 
    With quirky guests throwing accusations, a storm raging outside, and the only way out being through finding the real killer, Kelly and Jodi are forced to jump into detective mode—again. Between old-fashioned tea, haunted corridors, and a possible murderer lurking behind every mysterious door, the sisters must solve the crime before they end up as permanent residents of Larkin Manor. 
    A laugh-out-loud cozy mystery filled with secrets, suspects, and a touch of chaos—perfect for readers who love a little humor with their whodunits!

    Youngest sister Grace Fairfield is the family rebel. Fun-loving, clever, and creative, she elevates rebelliousness to an art form, often resulting in chaos in Dark Hollow. When Grace is assigned her first Hex Support case at a haunted amusement park, she’s thrilled to revisit her beloved stomping grounds from college. Unfortunately, the case involves an employee found dead on an expensive new rollercoaster that's supposed to bring in enough revenue to prevent the park’s closure. Grace needs to act fast: if she can solve the case by Halloween, there's still a chance the new rollercoaster can open in time to save the park from bankruptcy. There is, however, one teensy complication in the form of Luke Brookstone, an old flame who worked at the park with her during college breaks. Even more distracting: he's human and knows nothing about the magical world. Despite their chemistry, Grace knows that a relationship with a human would be met with nothing but disapproval by her witchy ancestors. Then again, when was Grace Fairfield ever one to fall in line? The clock is ticking on the fate of the amusement park, as well as Grace's reunion with Luke. Can she stop the killer in time to save her beloved park, or will it all go downhill from here?

    Nico Michaels pretends to be carefree, avoiding anything serious, especially relationships; his chaotic past has taught him that love only complicates things. He’s content with one-night stands and his close-knit group of friends, including his roommate, Malachi Mizrahi. 
    Neurodivergent Malachi wakes up each morning with a whole new personality, but one thing remains constant: his love for Nico. They clicked perfectly from day one, sharing a love of everything from anime to nature documentaries. They even share a bed. Platonically, of course. 
    One night, the lines blur when they share a kiss, but before things can go further, a desperate call from one of Mal’s dance students throws them into a missing person’s case that leaves them with more questions than answers. To complicate matters, Mal reveals he’s been quietly orchestrating Nico’s whole life without him even noticing. Nico is shaken to his core, his perception of their relationship shattered. 
    As they navigate the perilous world of a vicious Chinese triad, their bond deepens, and Nico begins to see that Malachi is not only the perfect friend, but the perfect man to fulfill all his needs. Together, they must face their past and survive their present if they want any chance of a happy ending in their future. 
    Barbarian is a friends-to-lovers, dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a masochistic vigilante with ADHD and a video game addiction and his sadistic and controlling best friend who worships the ground he walks on. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence, but only against people who totally deserve it. This is book 3 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.

    Everyone’s favorite sleuth―Vera Kelly―is back and put to the test as she searches for her missing girlfriend.It’s spring 1971 and Vera Kelly and her girlfriend, Max, leave their cozy Brooklyn apartment for an emergency visit to Max’s estranged family in Los Angeles. Max’s parents are divorcing—her father is already engaged to a much younger woman and under the sway of an occultist charlatan; her mother has left their estate in a hurry with no indication of return. Max, who hasn’t seen her family since they threw her out at the age of twenty-one, prepares for the trip with equal parts dread and anger. Upon arriving, Vera is shocked by the size and extravagance of the Comstock estate—the sprawling, manicured landscape; expansive and ornate buildings; and garages full of luxury cars reveal a privileged upbringing that, up until this point, Max had only hinted at—while Max attempts to navigate her father, who is hostile and controlling, and the occultist, St. James, who is charming but appears to be siphoning family money. Tensions boil over at dinner when Max threatens to alert her mother—and her mother’s lawyers—to St. James and her father’s plans using marital assets. The next morning, when Vera wakes up, Max is gone.In Vera Kelly: Lost and Found, Rosalie Knecht gives Vera her highest-stake case yet, as Vera quickly puts her private detective skills to good use and tracks a trail of breadcrumbs across southern California to find her missing girlfriend. She travels first to a film set in Santa Ynez and, ultimately, to a most unlikely destination where Vera has to decide how much she is willing to commit to save the woman she loves.
