  "Anti-Aging doesn't mean Anti-Dying..." 
   
  In the cutthroat world of biohacking, where the quest to reverse aging teeters on the edge of madness, the line between success and disaster is razor-thin. Stephen Kline, a powerful sponsor of the Rejuvenation Royale Tournament, is found dead in his cryotherapy chamber—a brutal murder that sends shockwaves through the elite competition. 
   
  As DCI Declan Walsh and his team delve into the high-stakes world of biohacking, they uncover a labyrinth of cutting-edge science, where competitors push the boundaries of biology and technology in their quest to cheat time. This is a realm where DNA is rewritten, bodies are optimized, and death is merely an obstacle to overcome—for those who can afford it. But beneath the glossy surface lies a dangerous game of ambition, betrayal, and lethal rivalries, where the price of success is a two million dollar prize, and the price of failure is everything. 
   
  With each new body, the stakes climb higher, revealing a killer who’s always one step ahead. In this deadly contest, Walsh must navigate a world where biohacked bodies and AI-driven schemes are weapons, and time is running out. But in this ruthless game, survival means outsmarting the competition—or becoming the next victim...

  Obsession sounds like love. 
   
  Some love stories are confessions. 
   
  Some are traps. 
   
  When Yvette Palmer returns a misdelivered package to her volatile neighbor, she expects a slammed door. 
   
  Instead, she’s invited inside. 
   
  Mona Smith doesn’t want her mail. She wants someone to listen. 
   
  What begins as curiosity becomes compulsion as Mona unravels the story of her obsessive affair with a married professor—brilliant, powerful, intoxicating. He saw her. Studied her. Isolated her. 
   
  And loved her in ways that felt like worship . . . and ownership. 
   
  The more Mona confesses, the harder it becomes for Yvette to pull away. Because the story doesn’t feel finished. 
   
  As pieces of Mona’s past begin to echo into Yvette’s present, suspicion takes root. Is Mona a victim? A manipulator? Or something more dangerous? 
   
  And if the man Mona loved is still watching . . . Yvette may already be a part of the story.

  Scenes from Village Life

  Strange things are happening in Tel Ilan, a century-old pioneer village. A disgruntled retired politician complains to his daughter that he hears the sound of digging at night. Could it be their tenant, that young Arab? But then the young Arab hears the digging sounds too. Where has the mayor’s wife gone, vanished without a trace, her note saying “Don’t worry about me”?  
  Around the village, the veneer of new wealth—gourmet restaurants, art galleries, a winery—barely conceals the scars of war and of past generations: disused air raid shelters, rusting farm tools, and trucks left wherever they stopped.  
  Scenes from Village Life is a memorable novel-in-stories by the inimitable Amos Oz: a brilliant, unsettling glimpse of what goes on beneath the surface of everyday life.

  Molly’s ex is ruining her life by sending private and compromising videos of her to every employer she works for. When her new boss, Torus, gets one, she’s sure that she’s going to be fired again. But what the Giant Kindred does next surprises her… As a Giant Kindred, over 9 feet tall, Torus has given up on the idea of finding a Mate. The human females surrounding him are too tiny and breakable…and he’s certain that none of them can handle his extra large equipment. But if he’s so sure that he isn’t interested in human women, then why is he having such strange and disturbing dreams about one in particular…a small, curvy female by the name of Molly Byrne who works for him? Molly isn’t looking for a man. She just wants to keep her job and her Giant Kindred boss is the last person she wants to tangle with. But things go sideways when Torus is sent a compromising video of Molly self-pleasuring—a video taken by her abusive ex who has been sending it out to every single employer she’s had for the past five years, ever since their divorce. Sure that she’s going to lose yet another job because of the embarrassing video, Molly packs up her desk…but Torus has other ideas. Can the two of them come to some understanding despite—or perhaps because of—the embarrassing vid and Torus’s strange dreams? You’ll have to read Guided by the Giant to find out.
