Lucifer assembles a third of the Divine Host in an attempt to overthrow God and His legions of angels, to place himself as ruler of the Celestial Kingdom.

Not only was its color gorgeous, but it was oversized and discounted. A perfect fit.But, for the house to be hers, Candy must learn to face the world.

Even harder, she must sometimes look people in the eye and ask for help.The Doublewide is a love story about a home, about making a life, and, to Candys surprise, about a man.

Shunned for his Native American background and sense of justice, Benjamin leaves his homeland to cross America, where he finds success, heartbreak, and a crisis of faith. The question spreads before him like a map: will he be the master of his own destiny? Or will something more powerful drag him back to Robeson County?

INTERWOVEN, the highly anticipated inaugural volume in the Points of Failure series by H.E. Wallace and Roi Qualls, plunges into the post-conflict world of 2275 where humanity faces its starkest choice: escape or perish. With only 85 years remaining before Earth can no longer support human life, the Umoja-19 mission must not fail. When things do not go as planned it falls to Chief Scientist Dr. Tah Morant to figure out why his Deuteron engine has failed and how to fix it. But nothing is as it seems. Dr. Morants efforts are complicated by personal tensions, childhood trauma, fickle friendships, and brittle intimacies of marriage. To make matters worse, he must steer clear of danger and political intrigue while navigating with a moral compass clouded by corporate bureaucracy and personal vendettas. This isnt merely science fiction; its a profound odyssey into social and personal transformation, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the deep spiritual metamorphosis required for our very survival. As one reviewer eloquently puts it, INTERWOVEN crafts a beautifully detailed world, carrying the exquisitely crafted undertones of Octavia Butler, in its unflinching examination of complex human nature and the intricate cultural structures that persist even after global accord has seemingly abolished war. This painful journey mirrors the caterpillars radical metamorphosis-a necessary dissolution of the old form for a completely new existence.INTERWOVEN reflects on our complicity, our courage, and the choices we face in shaping what comes next for planet earth. This isnt a dystopian warning or a utopian escape, but a vital call to self-examination and transformation, particularly in the face of the calamities--physical, cultural, spiritual, political--shaping our current reality.

Stranger from Across the Sea is the new novel from acclaimed author Regina McBride. Its a thrilling mystery with a depth of sensation that verges on the supernatural. Stranger from Across the Sea examines the powerful relationships that occur between women, best friends, mothers and daughters, their joys and secrets, their longing and sometimes dangerous jealousy.As a teenager, Violet OHalloran spent a summer at a Catholic boarding school in Northern Ireland, emptied of all other students but one: Indira Sharma, a blind girl from India with an extraordinary story. The beautiful but ultimately catastrophic friendship that formed between the two girls would go on to haunt Violet for years. A decade later, Violet meets an Irishman, Emmett Fitzroy, at a party in New York City and is swept into an intense romance that brings her back to Ireland. While there, she unearths the stunning answers to mysteries left unresolved when Indira vanished from her life. Set in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles, Stranger from Across the Sea explores place, displacement, and exile and the ways in which the personal and the political are inseparable. At its heart, this is a story about a passionate friendship between two singular young women, one that transcends the limits of time and distance.

If you want to disappear, start again, make a new life, a small Irish village is probably not the wisest place to go, since anonymity is not something we do well here. The arrival of someone new is always a cause for twitching curtains and whispered conversations. But here, like everywhere, people have their secrets, and as the local sergeant Im expected to have my eyes peeled for anything unusual. And I do.Usually.Until I dont, and the consequences are potentially fatal.

A delirious noir carousel, Odditorium plunges the reader into a feverish world where every scheme collapses sideways and nothing lands where its aimed. Brouns precise prose ricochets between grit and slapstick, stitching together crooked side-hustles and warped ambitions, amidst a gallery of grifters, washed-up boozers, and accidental accomplices. A pulpy feverish dream wheelin and dealin in womens softball and drug deals gone bad, from Tangier to Cartagena to the seedy underbelly of 1980s America, propelled by Brouns smart dialogue and unerring instinct for derailment.Odditorium was Brouns first novel, originally published in 1983 by Harper & Row but out of print ever since (except for an ebook release by Open Road Media). After releasing Odditorium, Broun underwent spinal surgery that saved his life but left him paralyzed from the neck down.The heroine of Odditorium is Tildy Soileau, a professional softball player stuck in a down-and-out marriage in South Florida. Leaving her husband to his own boozy inertia, she jumps at the chance to travel to New York with Jimmy Christo, only recently released from a mental institution, and make some much-needed cash on a drug deal. Adventure is just as much a motivating force, though, and Tildy quickly gets involved with a charismatic drug dealer; meanwhile, in carrying out business, Jimmy is dangerously sidetracked in Tangier. By the time the two are back in Florida, a financial boon greets them, but here, too, trouble is in the wings. Formally daring and full of jolts of the unexpected, Odditorium is an addictive romp through shady realms.-Kirkus Reviews

KIRKUS REVIEW, AUGUST 8 2025 THE GRAFFITI KILLERby David Milnes RELEASE DATE: N/AReaders wont soon forget this dark little novel.Milnes novel follows a disillusioned 69-year-old art afficionado who embarks on a quest to push back against a cultural tide of trash.The creepy, nameless narrator is a failed actor of surpassing paleness (he was Ghoul 14 in the 1971 Charlton Heston movie The Omega Man) and a former band promoter who once worked on Barry Manilows U.K. tours. Now, living in Spain with a detestably superficial woman who considers herself an artist-she paints what he describes as kitsch rubbish-something inside the man (who deeply loves art and its connection to culture and history) snaps. Armed with a rifle, he sets off on a mission to rid the world of trasheteers, those he sees as villains forcing trash culture down upon him. His first victims are a group of graffiti artists who have defiled iconic locations all over Europe that have been featured in famous paintings. (In Spain you were in the landscapes of Goya, Bustillo Salomon, Velasquez, in France you were in the landscapes of Lorraine, Monet, Cezanne, Lavieille.) After that, he targets more well-known artists, like the now 81-year-old Manilow, who is in London on a tour, and novelist Bernadine Evaristo, the president of the Royal Society of Literature, to name a few. Equal parts unhinged manifesto, thinly veiled social commentary, and serial killers meandering travelogue through Europe, this circular narrative is decidedly disturbing-particularly with real figures like Evaristo and others being targeted for death. (Readers will never experience a Barry Manilow song in quite the same way again.) But its the depth of depraved character development that truly powers this twisted tale. The narrators skewed view of the world, as seen through the lens of his frustration and anger, is, unsettlingly, almost understandable, especially considering his many failures, both personal and professional, throughout his largely unfulfilled life.Readers wont soon forget this dark little novel.

As Kathryn grapples with the impossibility of his existence, she embarks on a journey through her most profound memories, where long-buried emotions rise to the surface. Caught between the life she knows and the love she lost, Kathryn must confront the choices that have defined her and the ghosts that refuse to stay buried.

Most honeymoons include romance and relaxation. Not murder. When Maddie Swallows envisioned her honeymoon, she pictured a luxury resort nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Instead, she and her husband, Benji, find themselves in a dusty saloon in a town known for its old western movie sets, where daily bank robberies and staged shootouts are the norm. Soon after checking in, Maddie and Benji stumble upon a man hanging from an old movie prop noose. Initially believing it to be part of the entertainment, they quickly realize the grim truth-the man is dead, and no one knows his identity or how he ended up there. As the entire town of Dusty Ridge becomes a suspect pool, the local sheriff seems more concerned with preserving the towns reputation than solving the murder. With time running out, Maddie and Benji must uncover the truth behind the murders before they become the murderers next victims. Dead by the Outlaws Noose is the eighth book in the Maddie Swallows mystery series. If you love not-so-romantic getaways, quirky characters, and intriguing murder investigations, youll love this cozy mystery. Pick up Dead by the Outlaws Noose and test your whodunit skills today!

When Sarah Kidd arrives in Chalfont St James, the townspeople made it clear that they would rather let a crime go unpunished than listen to an outsider. But Sarah is sure that it is her husband whose body was discovered near the inn and buried in a paupers grave, the fortune he earned as a bailiff missing. And she has an opinion about who is to blame. Quaker Frances Bright and the new parish priest Arthur Brunskill, both also outsiders of a sort, take up her cause, each in their own way. Yet it takes the actions of an adolescent girl, Frances daughter, Jane, to ensure that justice, of a kind, is done. *A 17th-century broadsheet about a murder in a village north of London sparked this tale of a womans search for justice. Against the background of Restoration England, we find ourselves in a world not unlike our own, full of passions and prejudices, but built without apology on rank and deference.
