  The Blanket of the Dark by John Buchan is a gripping historical novel set in 16th-century England during the turbulent reign of Henry VIII. The story follows Peter Pentecost, a young scholar drawn into a web of intrigue, rebellion, and prophecy. Amidst rising unrest over religious reform and feudal oppression, Peter discovers a mysterious document hinting at his royal ancestry and a destiny tied to overthrowing the king. Buchan masterfully blends action, suspense, and rich period detail, exploring themes of loyalty, identity, and the clash between tradition and change. As Peter navigates danger and deception, the "blanket of the dark" symbolizes both the chaos threatening England and the shadowy forces shaping history. A tale of adventure and moral complexity, the novel captures the tension of an era on the brink of transformation, reflecting Buchan’s trademark blend of intellect and excitement.

As Jack strives to piece together the mystery under the threatening growl of his empty stomach, his reliance on experience and muscle memory is tested against the silent whispers of danger lurking at every corner. 
  Encountering a bizarre mix of fake lawmen and shadowy figures, Jack must discern ally from enemy as deception layers upon deception. A hidden bullet and a disturbing realization that his backup might not be what it seems force Jack to question the very ground he stands on. 
  Facing echoes of laughter that conceal deadly intentions and piercing eyes that hold secrets, Jack knows one misstep could silence him forever. As he immerses himself in an early morning dash for truth and survival, breakfast plans at Nick’s Cafe morph into a nerve-straining game of cat and mouse that could lead Jack deeper into the heart of darkness.

  December in Savannah, Georgia, is a sight to behold. With all the festivities—including the traditional riverfront luminary display during the boat parade—twin sisters Tabby and Sage Winslow are busier than ever setting up for the big celebration. But that isn’t the only thing on the sisters’ minds. Both Sage and her fellow employee Mary Nicole are vying for the sought-after assistant-manager job at the plant nursery. But when Loren Lee, their boss, is found dead and Sage becomes the police’s favorite suspect, both Winslow girls know that they’ll need more than a flicker of magic and their sisterhood to solve the murder and clear Sage’s name. Soon Tabby realizes that this is just one of the many problems they have. If being a suspect for murder wasn’t enough, there are more magical problems that they have to fix: Sage’s boyfriend is having a paranormal experience of his own he can’t control, there’s an energy vampire searching for his supposedly lost cousin, her cat suddenly dislikes her, and—oh—every time Tabby hiccups, she turns completely invisible. The suspect list grows with each day, and it seems everyone has a reason or a connection to Loren Lee. Tabby and Sage are burning the candle at both ends—but will it be enough to keep their friends safe and find this killer? Or will they be burned by their efforts?

  Everyone agreed Evelyn wouldn't hurt a fly…but they didn't count on a mother's fierce love, nor the fury of a woman scorned. Written in the spirit of Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train; The Talented Mr. Ripley), Evelyn Marsh begins with the provocative statement that "Evelyn's first murder was an accident." The rest of the book exists to explain the implication embedded in that first line. It's a why-done-it and how-done-it, instead of a who-done-it.
