"A historical African-Wild West horror story of supernatural vengeance and terrifying occultic magic from the winner of the Bram Stoker Award® for Lifetime Achievement. Two fearsome deities battle each other for the souls of white twins destined to either bring vengeful devastation or salvation to their community in Texas, USA, for a great injustice done to their mother.
When Sally-Mae Jenkins is violated and impregnated by the twin scions of a wealthy rancher, she's sent to join the African missionary ship as a widow. Pregnant and terrified, Sally-Mae vows vengeance on all those who abused her and her family.
Amara is a young woman with the body and face of an old hag. The village outcast, Amara can 'eat' the diseases ravaging the villagers and cure the most deadly ailments. But her powers drain her youth and her strength and the only help she has is the fearsome entity that claimed her soul, the spirit known as Aja-Mmọ, the death-giver and physician of the dead.
When Sally-Mae arrives in Amara's village, her unborn twins become the focus of both the Python-Goddess, Asata, who wants the twins dead, and Aja-Mmọ, who wants the twins alive in her service, just like Amara. And suddenly, Sally-Mae finds the boys, with their unearthly and fearsome powers, have become the weapons of her vengeance against the unsuspecting citizens of her home town back in Texas . . .
A gripping tale of supernatural horror, bitter revenge and battling deities, suffused with Onoh's trademark thrilling storytelling, wit, and dark humor."
"I made a deal with the devil. He owns my afterlife. But that does not mean I will go willingly. I will be the plaything of no male—man nor god.
Sister. Lover. Witch. Koryn has spent four hundred years twisting herself to fit the expectations of others, only to find herself betrayed. She can now add captive to the list of roles she is forced to play. But play is what she will do. Play along, and plot her revenge.
A gate is always near. A god is always watching . . .
Two gates remain. Koryn cannot ignore them for long. The gods will always claim their due. They asked for her dragon before. This time, they will not ask. They will take. Koryn must move quickly, or she will be fighting a war on all fronts. And for the first time in four hundred years, she has something—and someone—to lose.
The Halfling Prince is an epic dark fantasy MMF romance where the heroine does not have to choose between her multiple bonded love interests. Expect enemies to lovers, witches, an adolescent dragon, toe-curling spice, found family, and an expansive world of gods, shifters, and blood magic. The heat builds with each installment in this trilogy—have a cold drink ready. This universe is not for the faint of heart.
Contains mature themes."
"If you can't take the heat, get out of his kitchen.
Kelsey Rankin has worked for years to earn her reputation as one of the best writers at California's top food-and-wine journal. She's left her rural roots in wine country and moved to the city to pursue her dreams.
Then a work trip back home to cover the wine harvest puts her right in the path of Chef Oskar Olson, an internationally recognized chef and the newest resident of her hometown.
Oskar knew he wanted a break from big-city life when he moved to a small town. He wants to make his restaurant one that people talk about, and a review from Kelsey's magazine might push his restaurant into the spotlight.
One explosive night could change everything for these two culinary hotshots and make them question everything they think they want.
Turning Up the Heat is a steamy, stand-alone romance for lovers of sizzling chemistry, mouthwatering food, and sweet happily-ever-afters."
"A gothic horror novel set in a small southern town, perfect for fans of It: Welcome to Derry, Stranger Things, and The Fog.
Vanishing children. An ancient secret. A hunt for the truth.
Each year before school starts back, two boys vanish, and the small town of Harrow, Arkansas folds itself neatly around the silence. No one asks where they've gone. People have always made excuses. In 1988, they say 'the forest got them.'
But twelve-year-old Michael doesn't believe that. With his dog Gus and a secondhand camera, he sets out to photograph the creature that haunts Harrow. He finds not just the monster, but the truth it's built upon: a secret older than the word summer itself.
In the wake of Michael's disappearance, his friends Doug and Floyd, joined by Floyd's crush, Toni, and the reluctant bully, Jay, dig into the history of Harrow and uncover something impossible: a creature the old man across the street calls The Malice—and the horrifying truth that this summer, it isn't just boys being hunted.
The Malice is a small-town, Southern, gothic horror novel about the illusion of safety and the fierce love that binds children together when the world looks away.
Contains mature themes."
"Outcast by her coven more than three hundred years after her resurrection, Koryn faces certain doom. Without her coven's magic, she will wither away. But earning back their trust means betraying the last living member of her family—the family whose downfall came at Koryn's own hands.
Four hundred years ago, the gods sentenced the continent of Velora to death. Now Koryn must make a desperate bid to save Velora—and herself—by passing each test posed at the Seven Gates.
To make matters worse, she finds herself bound to Garrick the Red, a bounty hunter with a secret that makes him not just her rival, but her enemy.
But when a dragon appears from the forest and declares herself Koryn's familiar, her understanding of the world begins to shift. Koryn's choices do not just affect her, but all the residents of a dying land.
For every gate she conquers, Koryn's world grows more precarious. A deadly warrior turned bonded protector and forbidden lover. An adolescent dragon entrusted to her care. A powerful male from her past calling in a debt. And vengeful gods who demand their due, and force the frost witch to choose—her coven, her love, her dragon, or her soul.
Contains mature themes."
"When my controlling Bratva uncle planned to marry me off to a man with no mercy, I learned fast that some traps can't be escaped.
My one desperate lie forced me into a life I didn't choose. One that tied me to a man everyone told me couldn't be trusted.
I'd hoped that returning to Vancouver would be the fresh start that would save me. But I was wrong.
Axel tried his best to shield me from his brutal, dangerous world. But despite his best efforts, its shadows reached for me.
But the storm rolling toward us isn't what shakes me. He is. And how I keep hoping he'll let me in.
A lie bound us together. Will the truth tear us apart?
Contains mature themes."
"COP KILLER.
That's the accusation scrawled on the home of a dead man, found executed in his own bedroom. That's the tawdry headline thrown around every news channel, every social media feed, every conversation taking over Baltimore.
That's the name given to a man who may have been innocent, but never had the chance to prove it—and now Malcolm and Seong-Jae must solve his murder. A death that never should have happened; a death on their watch, when legal technicalities tied their hands.
But with the paternity test results hanging over his head, Malcolm grows increasingly erratic, threatening to take his mind from a critical case that could tear Baltimore and the BPD apart. With a dead cop, a dead suspect, and the question of what to do about Juliette and Chrysanthe, there are no easy answers.
Only with Seong-Jae can Malcolm keep himself together.
And only with Seong-Jae will he find the path he needs to tread.
Contains mature themes."
"A new homicide case raises a question with no clear answer:
Who is the victim?
When a charred body is recovered inside a burned-out car, before Malcolm and Seong-Jae can solve the case they must first trace the victim's identity. False plates. ID missing. Teeth pulled from the skull. The victim's killers knew exactly how to hide their tracks, but careful forensics work and two stubborn detectives mean the name of the dead won't remain buried for long.
A name for a name.
Will the dead speak, then, and cry out for the one who killed him?
Or whisper secrets that may take this case deeper—and uncover truths someone would kill to keep buried?
Contains mature themes."
"Malcolm Khalaji is one paternity test away from a breakdown.
When a one-night stand from a year ago shows up on his doorstep, she's bringing more than a trip down memory lane—and her little bundle of joy may just be a bundle of trouble if it turns out the baby is actually his.
Especially when he and Seong-Jae are called back to active duty, partnering again with Internal Affairs on the murder of a fellow officer, caught on tape and seemingly cut and dried. But nothing is easy about this case, and what looks simple on the surface hides something deeper. Something that crosses Santiago Vasquez's path.
And Vasquez isn't feeling too cooperative.
Not when Malcolm and Seong-Jae are working another case under the table. Anjulie's asked them to find Daniella Vasquez, living or dead.
But can Malcolm keep his head in the game, as years of buried trauma boil to the surface? Or will Seong-Jae be left to shoulder this alone, when Malcolm succumbs to old pains?
Contains mature themes."
"In this steampunk adventure by the author of The Dragon Men, a femme fatale offers a vengeful vigilante a simple job that becomes deadly.
The Clockwork Plague continues to incite destruction throughout the world. For Thaddeus Sharpe, the only solution for the disease is death. That is why he has dedicated his life to hunting and killing Clockworkers, and his mission brings him to the streets of St. Petersburg.

In a nearby village, a mad Clockwork scientist named Mr. Havoc has taken residence in a castle. His dreadful experiments on men and machine terrify the locals. He has created a dangerous machine, a ten-legged robotic spider. Griffin doesn't care what happens to Havoc; he only wants the invention. Simple enough . . .
But when Thad arrives at the castle with Sofiya, they make a startling discovery. Not only is Havoc hiding the machine, but he has also been experimenting on a little boy. Now Thad finds himself caught in a mystery he must quickly unravel before havoc reigns . . ."
"Bet you thought I was dead, huh? Pfft. I'm a lot harder to kill than that.
I thought I was safe surrounded by my fated mates and Gavin. Boy, was I wrong.
Who I once thought was nothing more than an over-inflated bimbo turned out to be the devil in disguise. Determined to destroy my very existence. She's tried to kill me more than once. No shocker there. And even as death has knocked on my door, I haven't succumbed to his whispered promises of peace.
But as we lick our wounds, our enemies go into hiding, waiting for the opportune time to strike. Again. They threaten my happily-ever-after with the three guys I've given my heart to while that same damn organ pulls me in the direction of the one it shouldn't.
Stupid heart. You'd think it would be smarter than this. But things change, just like people do. When we finally start to come together as a pack, our enemies return; our ultimate demise in their sights.
But they obviously haven't learned yet that I'm Haylee fucking Storm, Mafia heir, and their worst nightmare.
Contains mature themes."
