Seventeen-year-old Rei Asano hears war drums in his chest when he's angry, and lately, they're always beating. Ever since a lightning storm cracked open the Tokyo skyline and nearly leveled his school, Rei's life has been unraveling: blackouts, hallucinations, bursts of electrical force he can't control. The truth? He's become the vessel of Raijin, the ancient Japanese god of thunder and destruction. And Raijin isn't just waking up. He's taking over. Then there's Kaori Tsukimura: sharp-tongued, tightly guarded, and hiding a quiet grief that runs deeper than anyone knows. She keeps her emotions locked away, until a whisper in the dark calls her by a name no one remembers-Inome, the goddess of love... and vengeance, erased from the divine pantheon centuries ago. When their paths collide, Rei and Kaori discover that their bond is more than coincidence-it's myth repeating itself. Raijin and Inome were once divine opposites: passion and restraint, war and yearning. Now, as their hosts grow closer, those ancient desires threaten to reignite with catastrophic force. Across the city, other teens are awakening as hosts to gods: some long-forgotten, some desperate to remain in control. Factions rise-one fighting to resurrect the erased, another determined to destroy them before the world tears open. With divine war on the horizon, Rei and Kaori must decide what's more dangerous: the gods within them, or the feelings pulling them together. But every time they touch, the Veil thins. Memories blur. The line between self and god fractures. And love, if it still belongs to them at all, might be the thing that ends everything.

Pretending he's fine. Then, one night, he sees her name. Sarah Mitchell. Once the most brilliant analyst at Hartwell Investments, Sarah vanished from the corporate world twelve years ago. Now, she's listed as a stay-at-home parent. The woman who used to predict markets can't even remember who she used to be. Their late-night messages start as small talk. Harmless. Professional. But under every line, something unspoken lingers. A quiet recognition of loneliness, loss, and longing. He knows what it's like to disappear inside a marriage. He knows what it's like to wake up one day and realize you're a stranger to yourself. Marcus wants to reach through the screen to save her from the life that's erased her. But he can't. He knows she has to find her own way out. So he waits. Watches. Listens. Becomes the voice reminding her she still exists. From the world of The Exit Strategy, this is Marcus's story. An emotional slow-burn was told from the other side of the door. A story about restraint, redemption, and what it means to love someone enough to let them save themselves. 📅 New chapters Wednesday & Friday 🖋️ Written by Dahlian G.

**Warning: There are death in this book. NOT for sensitive readers.** George Russell is a phenomenon, a rising star in the cutthroat world of Formula 1. On track, his precision is unmatched, his aggression a weapon, and his recent pole position a testament to a flawless, ice-cold control that leaves rivals in his dust. Off track, he's the epitome of a champion: charming, focused, and in command. ​But beneath the perfectly tailored fireproof suits and the blinding smiles for the cameras, George is fighting a different race entirely. There's a 'thing' inside him, a cold, calculating violence that demands an outlet, a precision-guided rage that he barely keeps contained. This season, the 'thing' is getting harder to control, and the lines between acceptable aggression and outright destruction are blurring. ​After a violent incident he's desperate to keep secret, his team's Croatian trauma surgeon, Maria, becomes his reluctant confidante. She stitches his wounds, but she sees the deeper truth: George isn't just a danger to others, he's a danger to himself. ​As the relentless F1 calendar pushes him to the edge-Baku, Miami, one high-speed gamble after another-George must confront the true cost of his ambition. Can he continue to channel his inner killer into the only socially acceptable arena, or will the beast within finally break free, tearing down his career, his life, and everyone in its path? ​Apex Predator is a pulse-pounding psychological thriller that plunges into the dark heart of elite sports, where the greatest victory isn't always winning the race, but simply surviving yourself

In living rooms across America, families cheer, patriots weep, and the United States triumphs over the Soviet Union in a decisive victory for the free world. But every word is a lie. Leo Croft, a brilliant but disillusioned special effects wizard, is recruited by a shadowy government official for a "patriotic project" of unimaginable scale. He is taken to a clandestine soundstage in the Nevada desert, where he is given an impossible task: if America cannot reach the moon, he must fake it. Driven by artistic pride and Cold War fear, Leo uses all his genius to build the ultimate illusion. But as the line between reality and deception blurs, Leo discovers the terrifying truth: the conspiracy he serves is more ruthless than he ever imagined. Those who work on the project are not patriots-they are prisoners. And those who ask too many questions have a habit of meeting with fatal "accidents." Now, hunted by the very machine he helped create and with a tenacious journalist-his own estranged wife-closing in on the truth, Leo must make an impossible choice. Expose the lie and risk shattering the nation's faith, triggering global chaos... or become the permanent guardian of a secret that would forever distort history. *A stunning, genre-bending thriller that reimagines the 20th century's greatest achievement, * America's One Small Lie is a gripping tale of artistic integrity, moral compromise, and the devastating cost of a lie that united the world.
