Sinopsis

An incisive novel laying bare the contradictory societal response to gender, sex and redemption. Rinsing Mũkami's Soul looks at revenge as a powerful tool for reclamation when young Mũkami's carefully ordered life is cruelly thrust into scandal.

Njambi McGrath, award winning author of Through the Leopard's Gaze, delivers this stunning debut novel examining the validity of fury as response when a young Kenyan girl's mistakes in first love are ruthlessly held against her by a paternalistic society.

Mũkami is a young scholarship student at a prestigious boarding school. She has a clear path ahead of her, but a deceptive smile, a school expulsion and an impossible pregnancy see her well ordered life hurtling towards complete and utter disarray.

Facing disappointment from her family and finding that innocence is not a strong enough place from which to mount a defence, she declares revenge. This charged novel asks us to question why girls and women are often left to fight for justice from lonely places in societies that prefer them silenced.

    An FF Christmas Romance 
    Getting pulled over on Christmas Eve isn't what Regina wants to deal with. She just wants to go home, make some red and green pudding, and maybe get in a couple of Christmas movies. 
    But when she realizes who is pulling her over, suddenly, Regina doesn't mind so much anymore. 
    Because Sailor Baxter is a sinfully hot woman, and they've been dancing around each other for a while now. 
    So, when Sailor makes her a deal to get her out of her ticket, Regina snags it with both hands. 
    **This is an FF romance (two women, NO men). 
    **This is a short story. If you love a slightly curvy woman who loves submitting to a more dominant one, this is definitely your book.

    They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. They are damn liars because I’m losing count of the impossibilities in my life. 
    It turns out my presence in The Buried Knolls could mean the death of everyone around me. If the cold reactions of Wild and the quad are anything to go by, then the coven can never discover what I am. 
    Even though I’ve uncovered the demon king’s sinister plans and the truth about the supernatural game this coven plays, I must leave the knolls. Bizarrely, the place I came to for answers has become home. Hope. Community. I nearly fell in love here. Now the mating ritual with Wild feels like another excellent reason to leave. 
    Yet when so many impossible things have already happened, I have to wonder about the size of the storm ahead... and whether lightning will strike for a third time.

    An apparent suicide in a London townhouse uncannily mirrors a similar incident from twenty-five years ago, prompting Scotland Yard's George Flint to delve deep into the past in search of the solution to a long-forgotten mystery. 
     
     
     
    Meanwhile, Joseph Spector travels with a coach party through the rainy English countryside to visit an allegedly haunted house on a lonely island called Devil's Neck. The house, first built by a notorious alchemist and occultist, was later used as a field hospital in the First World War before falling into disrepair. The visitors hold a seance to conjure the spirit of a long-dead soldier. But when a storm floods the narrow causeway connecting Devil's Neck to the mainland, they find themselves stranded in the haunted house. Before long, the guests begin to die one by one, and it seems that the only possible culprit is the phantom soldier. 
     
     
     
    Flint's and Spector's investigations are in fact closely linked, but it is only when the duo are reunited at the storm-lashed Devil's Neck that the truth is finally revealed. Tom Mead once again creates a brilliant homage to John Dickson Carr and the Golden Age of mysteries with this intricately plotted puzzle.

    From New York Times bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes Vampire in the Jungle, a Paranormal Rom-Com. 
     “Bring me that vampire! Or else!” 
     When a powerful goddess gives Damien one week to deliver the world’s last vampire, he only has one question: “Why is the vampire hiding in the jungle?” 
     Damien isn’t sure, but he knows what’ll happen if he fails: the insane goddess will execute the only two women Damien’s ever cared for. (It’s complicated.) 
    Also, there’s the small matter of his assistant, who believes her destiny is to become a vampire herself. (It’s very complicated.) 
     Unfortunately, the vampire in question hates the modern world, has a severe attachment to his lair, and he makes it a point to kill anyone who gets too close. No mercy.  
     Can Damien and his crew of supernatural oddballs convince this deadly vampire to come out of hiding before it’s too late?
