The Shattered Line

Simone Beaudelaire

Summary

A legacy of violence. An inescapable destiny.
 
Psychic journalist Jack Landry is living his best life. He has a great job as a travel writer, a satisfying relationship with his business associate Britayne, and thousands of miles of distance from his family’s New Orleans home - the site of an evil he can no longer remember. His only regret is his estrangement from his twin brother, Adam.
 
Until one day, when Adam calls Jack to say their grandmother was killed during Hurricane Katrina, and that he needs Jack’s help to settle the estate. Jack wants nothing to do with Louisiana, let alone that house, but he cannot resist the chance to reconnect with his twin.
 
Entering the Landry home incinerates all of Jack’s perceptions. Is Britayne really his girlfriend? Does Adam want reconciliation or revenge? And most disturbing of all, are the ghosts that haunt Jack’s nightmares the malevolent entities he always believed they were, or merely ancient memories?
 
Settling these questions will take Jack and Adam to the heart of a mystery centuries in the making... and might claim both brothers’ lives.

Fractured

Brian Blackwood

Rook Maison is a serial killer. 
He is a body snatcher. He kills by taking over the bodies of his victims, leaving no blood or weapons at the scene of the crimes. Disillusioned by the loss of his Catholic faith, Rook seeks answers to his unique ability and finds that heaven and hell are not what he was taught to believe. Now, in their way, angels and demons seek to head off the calamity that Rook is quickly becoming because for each body he takes and each soul he breaks, he is becoming more and more Fractured. 
“A genre defying debut… Fractured will entice those who root for the morally grey and antiheroes, as Rook Maison is a deeply interesting example. A thought‑provoking wild ride… not to be missed. An excellent choice for fans of urban fantasy, historical thrillers, and gothic religious horror. Rook Maison is one hell of a force to be reckoned with.” — Chanticleer Book Reviews, ★★★★★

Griffin's Dream - The Dark...

Benjamin Mahoney

In the city of Griffin, people are dying in droves from bizarre "accidents." But Emily Norbanus knows better. Plagued by prophetic nightmares, she's convinced an evil entity is behind the attacks. The problem? No one believes her.
After Emily is accused of murdering a journalist, the court orders a psychiatric evaluation to determine if she's sane enough to stand trial. Her father Amos agrees - clearly his daughter needs help.
But Emily is determined to expose the truth and save Griffin, even if she must do it alone. Her biggest obstacle is convincing Amos that her dreams point to one man: his enigmatic boss Arunthdati. Despite the gruesome deaths, Amos remains dedicated to Arunthdati.
Emily races to break his spell and persuade Amos of the coming danger before the city pays an unthinkable price. Will she prevail and prove her dreams are a gift rather than madness? Or will Emily end up another casualty in a waking nightmare?
Griffin’s Dream is a thrilling tale of paranormal twists that will keep you guessing until the final page. If you're a fan of Stephen King spine-tingling horrors and his ability to weave paranormal dread through ordinary lives, you'll devour this irresistible tale.
From An Editor, Erin Foster:-“I think you have a unique and well-told story on your hands, which is a benefit in a world where so many books being published are just re-tellings of the same old stories we've all been hearing for ages. This is especially important for you with a supernatural horror; I've read so many vampire stories at this point that they don't even have to try to put me to sleep. So reading something completely different was incredibly refreshing”
