She uncovers evidence with quiet violence. He solves crimes with a peaceful conversation. She doesn't speak. He doesn't stop. The dead, unfortunately, have opinions about both. Galen Rose calls himself psychic. Shannara Chase calls him insufferable. When a confirmed extraterrestrial sighting leaves a man suspended between life and death, the government scrambles to erase its tracks. Armed with nothing but an antique notepad and a lethal amount of audacity, they do the one thing they were explicitly told not to. They start asking questions. She communicates in scrawls, sign language, and structural violence. He communicates in devastating wordplay, clinical deduction, and a smile that has talked its way out of three countries and into considerably more trouble. They are not a love story. They are a hate story. Best friends who almost hate each other. Enemies who would burn the world down for each other. Trapped in a high-stakes whodunit masked by lies, ancient secrets, and a mystery that doesn't want to be found, they must survive a partnership held together by endless bickering and a slow-burning tension neither can afford to name. The closer they get to the truth, the closer they get to each other. Neither is ready for either. Together they're either going to crack this impossible case or completely destroy each other. (Probably both.) ⚠️ Side effects include: UFO obsession, mutual animosity, conspiracy-induced insomnia, slow burn that will ruin you, enemies-to-lovers tension, and an unhealthy attachment to one devastatingly dangerous mentalist golden boy. Ranked #1 in UFOs and #2 Procedural, #12 in Crime fiction, 3 days into the launch!

The Emperor of Meridian has promised five thousand gold sovereigns to the first man who brings him a dragon. For Jack and his crew aboard the Shanty, it is the chance of a lifetime-a final score big enough to buy their freedom and leave the bloody trade of siren hunting behind forever. But killing a dragon won't be easy. First, they must find a way into the Jeweled Sea, where dragons have remained hidden for centuries. And they are not the only ones hunting them. The Emperor's bastard son, Admiral Hawthorne, is determined to prove his worth and means to claim them for himself. Meanwhile, in the Salt Market, a ruthless drug lord tightens his grip on the city and King-emperor Midas takes increasingly brutal measures to crush mounting unrest in the East. In a world where only the cruel survive and fortune favors the ruthless, how far will Jack and his crew go to secure their dreams? If you like morally grey characters, found family, pirates, and fantasy worlds filled with monsters, The Curse of Tane might be your next adventure.

Instead, her school librarian decides to randomly leave her with the stolen Codex of the Angel of Death. With the ledger missing, souls are stuck on Earth, and a leaked PDF version is circulating on the dark web, allowing clueless humans to trade their lifespans to summon demons. ​Now, Charli has to survive a new high school while being hunted by two rival, reincarnated lords of the Underworld. One is the infamous Angel of Death, who claims she's his long-lost wife; the other is Asmodeus, who is desperate to use her to rewrite the laws of Hell.

You think the devil has horns? ​Yeah, so did she. How wrong she was.

Halloween, 1997. Six college friends just want a low-key Halloween weekend - VHS horror marathons, their Halloween parties, and avoiding midterms. But when they find a strange flyer for a one-night only carnival, curiosity wins out over common sense. The fair isn't on any map. No one in town has ever seen it. And yet... by Halloween night, the Ferris wheel is glowing on the horizon, and old music is drifting through the cold autumn air. What begins as a night of rides and cheap thrills turns into something far darker. The games aren't fair, the prizes aren't prizes, and the smiling workers seem to know more about the friends than they should. Whispers of unexplained disappearances trace back to the 1930s. And as secrets unravel, the group realizes that not everyone came to Harrow's Fair by accident - and not everyone will leave. In a place where the line between attraction and nightmare blurs, survival may depend on trusting the very person you're afraid of.
