Summary

Gill and Brolly live together off South London’s Walworth Road. They share a happy existence, unremarkable except for one thing – their excessive food intake.After witnessing their best friend Tiny Tim eat himself to death, Brolly decides he and Gill should lose weight before suffering the same fate – but Gill refuses. Brolly starts dieting in secret and sets off a series of unpredictable events that will change their lives forever.According to the House of Commons Library*, almost three quarters of people aged between forty-five and seventy-four in the UK are obese. The Wobble Club is a thought provoking and unforgettable debut from agent provocateur and cult filmmaker Simon Rumley that investigates society’s last taboo: whether people should be allowed to do what they want with their own bodies.*Source: NHS Digital, Health Survey for England, published January 2023

Cassidy returns to Embarrass with Julia to support her with the funeral details, rehoming Julia's mother, and settling the Desjardin estate. For Cassidy, being back in the small, northern Minnesotan town has brought back a number of good memories—most starring Julia herself. But it's also triggered some memories she'd rather leave buried.

    “Gritty and emotionally jagged… Power Struggle pours on the suspense as one twisted assassin plays hide-and-go-seek with a detective who refuses to give up.” –Tome Tender Book Blog  
    He led her into the barn and locked her in a small cage, and he left her there—alone—for now. But she had a feeling he’d return and when he did… She closed her eyes, not even wanting to think about could come next.  
    Detective Madison Knight is called to investigate the murder of a man who was stabbed multiple times and found in his home. Madison arrives on scene, but it isn’t the bloody mess that shakes her—it’s the victim’s identity. His name was Jimmy Bates, and he’s the man who killed her grandfather. 
    She struggles to remain objective, but she has a gut feeling Jimmy’s past connection to the Russian Mafia might have gotten him killed. It’s the motive that’s proving elusive to her. But when a woman—also connected with the mob—turns up murdered, a picture starts forming for Madison. If she’s right about why Jimmy and the woman were targeted, there’s something very dark and sinister going on in her city, and it puts Madison squarely in a killer’s crosshairs. 
    Her suspicions are given merit when Madison receives a letter threatening her and her loved ones, and the stakes only get higher when her sister, Chelsea, goes missing. Madison takes that for what it really means: the hit man who almost killed her months ago is back, and he’s calling her out for one final showdown. Only one of them will survive. 
    Power Struggle is an absolutely chilling mystery packed with heart-pounding suspense. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Angela Marsons, and Leslie Wolfe.

    Clear waters, pristine beaches, and the bones of human sacrifices… 
    Of all the places to be transported by magic against my will, a tropical island doesn’t seem too bad. Unfortunately it’s teeming with blood casters who want me dead. On the bright side, I’m not alone; my friends are here too and we’ve faced tougher odds together before. 
    But the dangerous magic on this island isn’t like some of our other foes and there are places some of us can’t even go without triggering deadly blood magic spells. 
    To make matters worse, the leader of the blood casters is here and she is a witch to be reckoned with. If the rumors are true, she has rediscovered arcanism – an ancient magic even more deadly than blood magic. If she really is an arcanist, she’s the most powerful magical being in the world and she has made it clear she’s willing to kill anyone who gets in her way. And of course, we are very much in her way.
