THE FIRST SHADOW BAY THRILLER Two women are dead. A third has vanished without a trace. Chief of Police Shauna Peterson thought she knew the quiet town of Shadow Bay. But when another young woman disappears and a body is discovered stitched with red thread, Shauna realizes she is hunting a killer unlike any she has seen before—methodical, patient, and always watching. As the investigation deepens, pressure closes in from every direction. The state wants her sidelined. The town wants someone to blame. And the deeper Shauna digs, the clearer it becomes that the murderer has been hiding in plain sight. But the most dangerous secret may be inside her own home. Shauna’s daughter Emma is keeping secrets—and getting dangerously close to the truth. The killer wants Shauna’s attention. And he knows exactly how to get it.

In this thrilling sequel to Hooked, the secret leaders of a deadly cabal prove to be a veritable match for the determined reporter and the insightful surfing detective who double down to expose them. Investigative reporter Katrina Chopin is back home in San Diego on a mission (or two). The first is personal: reheating the cold case of her parents’ murder and investigating her brother’s reported suicide. The second involves a new spate of deaths with alleged causes that just don’t smell right. She and Detective Ken Goode need each other’s help for both. But she has to keep the sexy surfer at arm’s length, because dating him is off limits. For now. Teaming up, they make coordinated progress down each path. Digging deeper into La Jolla’s corrupt network of elites, they uncover a pattern of lies, depravity, and greed. And with every new discovery, Katrina is pulled closer to danger…and to Goode. Sharing sexy phone calls and sunset drinks isn’t exactly following the rules, but fully crossing that line could jeopardize the case. As they start to connect the dots, they realize they must risk everything to bring down the shadowy cabal that kills to keep its secrets.

The all-new novel of terror from “one of the hottest horror authors on the planet” (Paste) and writer of the #HorrorBookTok sensation The Troop!
On a remote island in the Canadian wilderness, five elderly volunteers from different walks of life are given a tantalizing offer: to stall their biological clocks or even reverse them, restoring their lost youth. The chance to put death on pause—forever, perhaps. The remarkable secret lies in the high-tech harnessing of an ancient and extraordinary biological agent…one with no conscience, yet possessed with a single-minded purpose that has helped it persist for eons: the will to survive. The dark heart of unbridled human ambition finds its apex in an unholy experiment that now tests the limits of both creator and subject, eclipsing all bounds of morality and sanity….

Texas Deputy Kent McGowen shot and killed Susan White after she pulled a gun on him. It seemed like an open-and-shut case of an officer acting in self-defense. But before his first court date, the Houston region was inundated with rumor, innuendo and speculation about the case. Many believed those fabrications and half-truths to be fact. And an unsubstantiated-but-persistent story of how McGowen allegedly set up White as a murder victim because they had a relationship, or that she refused to have one, sealed his fate. McGowen was found guilty, Twice. He's already done his years in prison, but his case is worth examining for all the ways criminal courts can be manipulated by media, fast-talking lawyers and dubious witnesses.

Georgie Warren - Prey Bound
06-06-2026 | 28 Min.
An alien warrior. A human woman in hiding. In the snowy wilds of Utah, prey and predator are about to fall in love. Lena Harper thought escaping to her family’s remote cabin would bring peace. Instead, she finds herself haunted by memories she can't outrun—and stalked by something far more dangerous than the mountain lions her uncle warned her about. Draeken is a Xar’nok hunter, on Earth for what was meant to be a routine expedition—a thrill-seeking escape with his battle-bonded brothers. Hunt. Track. Conquer. No attachments. No complications. But when an ambush leaves him wounded and alone, he stumbles into the one thing he’s never trained for: a human with fire in her eyes and sorrow in her soul. She should be prey. He should be a monster. But fate has other plans. As snow blankets the mountains and danger draws near, trust blossoms where fear once lived. Lena must decide if she's ready to fight for herself—and for a creature not of this world. And Draeken must choose between duty, survival... and a woman who sees past the predator to the heart beneath the armor. Action-packed, steamy, and full of aching tenderness, Prey Bound is a sci-fi romance for anyone who ever dreamed the alien might be the one to save you—and maybe even love you.
