Addictively gritty, abrasively honest, and utterly compelling, Sons of Slaughter is perfect for fans of Looking for Alaska by John Green, Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, and Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman.

It's 1994 in the small town of Clatskanie, Oregon. In a struggle to escape the grasp of his stepfather, a violent drunk, Beck stumbles upon his late grandfather's cabin abandoned in the woods. With his best friend, Dean - just released from his stay at a mental hospital after his failed suicide attempt - Beck sets out to repair it. 

Defiant Beck has always been a daydreamer. For years, his only escape from his stepfather's torment was a world he created for himself in his mind. But little by little the lines between the two worlds begin to blur until soon he becomes convinced that the world in which he is Beck isn't the real world at all.

Quiet Dean never meant to get his girlfriend pregnant, but despite threats made by his former gang, the West Coast Howlers, he's more determined than ever to create a life for himself, Emilia, and their unborn child. Dean, usually the one who doesn't control anything, soon finds himself at the epicenter of a storm that threatens the lives of those he loves most.

With explosively vivid and startlingly sharp prose, Sons of Slaughter forms a compelling narrative about the battlefield that lies both within us and around us, and what it means to fight - and bleed - for the ones we love.All Rights Reserved

This centers on a deranged woman's path to becoming a complete nihilistic and feral serial killer.

Her psychiatrist usually asked her one question; "what makes you sane?" When Emma escapes back into the world, she realizes people never perceived her as the dangerous narcissist she is. She becomes crazed than before, eventually crossing paths with one dysfunctional family; an insignificant father, a mother suffering from short-term memory, their not-so typical teenage children as well as their relatives. They take a vacation in the woods for a simple get-together, but this is when they would have to survive against Emma Woodburn at an early stage of her true dark side. Edited version Now On Amazon.

Malicious Romance by Ekphrastic

Sometimes, not every love story can be as idyllic as it should be. Dean Winchester, bred and raised in the mafia, carried a heart that yearned desperately for love, just like any ordinary person. While the essence of a criminal coursed through his veins, his heart wept for every inhumane act he committed. No matter how hard he strived to become a better man, he couldn't wash away the thick blood of an outlaw. In the end, he never expected anyone to care for him. All he ever longed for in his life was to experience the tender embrace of a mother's love, like everyone else. Sadly, even his own mother chose to abandon him to the clutches of his ruthless father, the Cobra mafia boss. Every twist of fate was fueled by the mere fact that he carried the blood of a killer, leaving him branded as a monster without a chance to prove his worth. Dean grew weary of trying to change people's perceptions of him. Until one fateful day, he crossed paths with the daughter of his sworn enemy, and his world turned upside down. In her presence, he discovered acceptance for who he truly was. For the first time in his life, he experienced genuine love. Every emotion, from tenderness to heartbreak, washed over him, gradually numbing his senses. ***WARNING*** Strong Adult Content & Explicit Language 18+. The story contains brutal acts of violence.

I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby?

No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

The Toils (Book One) by Elkeene

In the future, there is no medicine that can save you. The government is gone. The days are hot, and the dangers many. Welcome to the continent of Aotearoa. The country of Gossfordshire is in crisis - the King is dead, his children are being murdered, and trade with their neighboring country Motueka has dried up leaving Gossfordshire on the brink of starvation. Ritty, the King's son, seeks to restore the peace and bring Gossfordshire back to its glory days, but his efforts are increasingly hampered by Randall, the head councilman-come-dictator, who sets out to bring the kingdom under his control. Also stifling Rittys goals of normalcy is Magnus, aided by councilwoman Thatcher, who sees a much more egalitarian vision for the future of Gossfordshire.

Cacophony by DivergentlyYours

Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts. Warning: This book covers potentially triggering subjects such as depression, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, sexual assault, poverty and drug use. These are issues that many of us have faced and are very real. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts or abuse in a relationship, please reach out and find help.

The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

What happens, when we as humans, are forced to examine fears that we may not even realize we have? In the first of the Nicholas Pantera novella trilogy, ex-US Air Force Colonel turned private investigator Pantera is forced to examine these issues at greater depths than he ever desired. When he discovers that the drowning death of a beautiful woman and the crash of a private, high performance jet are inextricably linked; he is thrust into a world of technology horribly abused, where science is just another tool to fulfill the twin lusts of greed and absolute power. Faced with the almost unlimited resources of the Minisoft software development empire arrayed against him, and powerful individuals who have no moral boundaries, Nick is forced to use every ounce of his creativity, guts, military experience and "chutzpah" to protect himself and the ones he holds most dear. Examine the depths of love, murder, self-sacrifice and our deepest fears of manipulation at the cellular level as he fights shadow figures & organizations; and constant misdirection and danger as this hi-tech who-dunnit races to a chilling conclusion. Rated Mature for adult themes & violence only, no foul language, sex or nudity. https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Murder-Nicholas-Pantera-Mystery-ebook/dp/B0090PXE7C/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=the+last+dance+can+be+murder&qid=1551657229&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull
