  Nancy Drew meets P-Valley in a unique blend of thrilling crime fiction, timely social commentary, and the power of sisterhood in this captivating homage to the “lesser dead” for readers of Rachel Howzell Hall, Kellye Garrett, Wanda M. Morris, and Denise Mina.  When former Atlanta stripper-turned-reporter Keke McCoy finds fame after solving the gruesome ritualistic murder of a fellow dancer, she’s tapped to investigate the unsolved disappearance of underage dancers from her teenage stomping grounds, The Pimp Palace. 
    
  Keke’s head is still spinning—and not just because of the hit she took securing a bombshell confession for her last story. On top of her full-time job with the Metro Journal, Keke now has an online column devoted to exposing unsolved murders of young people of color. She’s also freelancing as an investigative journalist in Indian Springs, where she maintains her rekindled relationship with her former employer and mentor, Honey Pot club owner Josephine “HoneyMama” Thibodeaux. 
    
  Keke’s Metro boss, Charlie, isn’t impressed with her extracurricular fame, but she’s soon back at her teenage stomping grounds, The Pimp Palace, where several off-the-books, underage dancers have gone missing under suspicious circumstances. When she unearths troubling connections between some of the cases, Keke calls on the assistance of Detective Drew Lewis—her former man, occasional lover—and maybe her future … 
    
  To up their game, Keke and Drew realize they need someone on the inside. Keke recruits Dulce, a talented Honey Pot dancer and one of the victim’s girlfriends who helped to crack the last case. Even HoneyMama is willing to put her neck on the line—again—to find out what happened, since several of the victims’ belongings included her contact information. 
    
  With a common mission, all involved dive down a very dangerous, very corrupt rabbit hole no one saw coming—except the mastermind who anxiously awaits their fall—especially Keke’s …

  "It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of the dark, dead corners of the world be let alone..."
  
  A chilling blend of science-fiction and horror, At the Mountains of Madness follows a doomed scientific expedition to the desolate expanse of Antarctica that uncovers ancient, alien ruins that reveal a terrifying, ancient history of Earth, predating humanity. The novella is a prime example of Lovecraft's "cosmic horror," a genre that emphasizes humanity's insignificance in a vast, uncaring universe.
  At the Mountains of Madness explores themes of the peril of forbidden knowledge, the price of discovery and the fragility of human sanity when confronted with the unknowable; it ranks among Lovecraft's most terrifying novellas, and is a firm favourite among fans of classic horror.
  
  Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.

  The Sun Also Rises was Ernest Hemingway's first published novel, and was both a commercial and literary success. Much information about the plot is available online. The story follows the lives of a group of people living during the 1920's, in Paris, mainly. Many of them had lived through the hardships and horrors of the First World War, and this lent a kind of manic energy to their social lives and relationships, as though there was not enough time and maximum "living" had to be squeezed into as short a time as possible. The book provides the first view of themes which can be found in most of his books - conflict, bull-fighting, hunting, fishing, and the complexities of human relationships between the sexes as well as across cultures.

  Escaped! The ruthless CEO Russell, the person behind the plot that nearly destroyed the griffin’s world, has escaped from custody. Sworn to kill him, Harrell White-shoulders joins a flock of griffin rangers charged with tracking him down. Joined by his ex-mate Vaniss, the enormous jungle griffin Shrike, and Investigator Kwap, Harrell is determined to recapture the escaped human before he can do any more damage. It proves a task harder than any of them imagined. 
  In Russell the griffins face a foe unlike anyone they have dealt with before. Aided by three unlikely allies, using techniques alien to the griffins, he remains two steps ahead of his pursuers while leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. 
  But soon Harrell and the rangers will face a threat far more dangerous than one human on the run. Because something is coming to the griffin city of Gulf Port Bay, a hidden danger in their midst no one suspected, but every griffin feared. And if Harrell can’t stop Russell before he reaches it, his entire world will pay the price.
