The Book Club Murders

"In this book club, secrets aren’t shared—they’re buried. In the pristine town of Willow Creek, the book club was supposed to be a refuge—a glittering circle of women bound by a love of literature, wine, and carefully curated secrets. But when tensions erupt and loyalties begin to fray, one of them ends up dead… and someone in the group is a killer. Each woman has something to hide. Vanessa, the queen bee with a flawless facade and an iron grip on her kingdom. Charlotte, hiding cracks in her perfect home and heart. Erica, reckless and unpredictable, with proof that could shatter lives. Jilly, kind and quiet, but drowning in debt—and deals she’ll soon regret. Miriam, the silent observer, watching everything unfold like a slow-burning novel. As whispered betrayals boil over into shocking revelations, the book club becomes a battleground—and someone won't survive the final chapter. Because in Willow Creek, the truth is more dangerous than fiction… Sharp, addictive, and dripping with tension, The Book Club Murders is Big Little Lies meets Desperate Housewives with a deadly twist."

Northanger Abbey

"'If adventures will not befall a lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.' The last of Austen's novels to be published, this is a humorous tale of the hazards of female friendship and undesirable suitors. Crumbling castles shrouded in secrets, ghostly skeletons cloaked in black veils, and innocent maidens held in the gravest of danger: the clichéd tropes of gothic romance fill the mind of Catherine Morland, the young, naïve, but warm-hearted heroine of Jane Austen's parody of the popular fiction of her time. Venturing away from her country parsonage home to delight in her first season amongst fashionable society in Bath, Catherine must navigate the more prosaic hazards of female friendship and undesirable suitors to secure the affection of eligible Henry Tilney. But when Catherine is invited to Northanger Abbey, the Tilneys' ancient stately home, her love of sensational stories of murder and mystery fires her imagination, and threatens to destroy her future happiness."

Jane Austen (Author), Karen Cass (Narrator)

Julian Rousseaux has a problem. He’s single, and for the world’s wealthiest vampires, the social season is about to begin. Julian would rather stake himself than participate in the marriage market. But as the eldest, eligible Rousseaux he’s expected to find a wife before the season ends—whether he likes it or not. When cellist Thea literally stumbles into his life at a gala, he knows she's the last person he could ever fall in love with. She's too innocent, too kind, and way too human. But now that she knows about his world, she's also a walking target. She needs protection. He needs a fake girlfriend to discourage overzealous vampire matchmaking. So, Julian makes Thea an irresistible offer: pretend to be his lover and he’ll change her life. For one year, they’ll attend the season’s social events together in exchange for his protection and a way out of her mother’s crippling medical debt. She can’t say no. But the vampire world is impossibly decadent and darker than Thea ever imagined, and Julian’s filthy rich vampire family wants her out of the way. But with each moment they share, new dangers emerge: a desire as forbidden as their stolen touches, an awakening of a long-dead heart, and secrets that could tear them both apart.
