"In just forty-eight hours, a brutal and mysterious virus sweeps across the nation, claiming millions of lives. But this is just the beginning. Soon, the terrifying truth emerges: the United States is under attack—an unprecedented blitzkrieg of biological, conventional, and nuclear warfare. No town is safe, and the identity of the enemy remains unknown.
Shelby Doyle lives in the small town of Hawthorne with her sons. When the attacks occur, she quickly realizes nowhere is safe. Hawthorn isn't safe. She joins a group of others and together they travel to find a safe haven.
As the days pass and the attacks continue without mercy, Shelby not only wonders if they will survive long enough to find safety, but will they ever learn who is behind it all."
"Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities—from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear—until the backroom deals are done and it's too late to challenge them.
Backroom Deals in Our Backyards tells the story of five 'accidental activists'—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn't protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action.
For readers of Chain of Title and Superman's Not Coming, Spivack's revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities."
"Charlie’s very first case!
Normally Darla, the ghost that haunts the Redemption Inn, behaves herself. Relatively speaking.
Nancy, the owner of the Redemption Inn, swears that Darla is harmless. At least, mostly harmless. Maybe she plays a few pranks on some unsuspecting guests, but it’s all in good fun.
Until one of the hotel guests is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and Darla is the one who’s blamed.
With the threat of guests cancelling and her business on the line, Nancy turns to Charlie to help find the real culprit so Darla can rest in peace.
Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She’s back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin."
"Book 1 of The Redemption Detective Agency.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or maybe a gin and tonic.
Emily Hildebrandt has run into a bit of a rough patch. She’s lost her job, her fiance and her apartment. Still, she never expected to be desperate enough to accept an invitation to live with her eccentric Aunt Tilde in Redemption, Wisconsin.
But, beggars can’t be choosers. Even if part of the deal is she has to pretend to work at her aunt’s latest hair-brained scheme, The Redemption Detective Agency.
Seriously, the woman is a retired nurse. Why does she think she’s remotely qualified to run a detective agency, especially in a creepy little town like Redemption?
But, when a strange phone call suddenly thrusts them into an actual case, Emily finds herself hoping her aunt really does know what she’s doing … or an innocent person may be the one to suffer the consequences.
A spin-off from the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series! The Redemption Detective Agency is a funny, twisty cozy mystery series set in the 1990s featuring silver sleuths solving cold cases. Great for fans of the Thursday Murder Club."
"Know your enemy if you want to survive . . .
The only way for Khya to get her brother back alive is to kill Varan—the immortal ruler who can't be killed. But not even Varan knew what he was doing when he perverted magic and humanity to become immortal.
Khya's leading her group of friends and rebels into the mountains that hold Varan's secrets, but if risking all their lives is going to be worth it, she has to give up everything else—breaking the spell that holds her brother captive and jeopardizing her deepening relationship with Tessen, the boy who has been by turns her rival and refuge since her brother disappeared.
Immortality itself might be her only answer, but if that's where Khya has to go, she can't ask Tessen or her friends to follow."
"The immortal mages have risen, and they're out for blood.
Khya arrived at the Ryogan coast too late to stop the invasion. Now, cities are falling before the unrelenting march of an enemy army, and Khya's squad is desperately trying to stay ahead of them. Warning the Ryogans, though, means leaving her brother imprisoned even longer.
Time is running out for everyone. But how can her squad of ten stand against an army of ten thousand?
Calling in help from every ally she's made in Ryogo, Khya tries to build a plan that won't mean sacrificing her friends or her brother. It's a tough balance to find, especially when the leadership role she thought she wanted sits heavy on her shoulders, and her relationship with Tessen is beginning to crack under the strain.
The end is coming, and there's no way to know who'll be left standing when it hits."
"In Khya's world, every breath is a battle.
On the isolated desert island of Shiara, dying young is inevitable. Only the clan of Sagen sy Itagami can offer protection against enemies and elements. That is why the safety of the clan comes before one's self, and why Khya is a warrior above all else. But when obeying orders could cost her brother his life, her once safe home becomes a deadly trap.
The council she hoped to join has betrayed her, and their secrets, hundreds of years deep, reach around a world she's never seen. Only Tessen, her lifelong rival and the boy who challenges her at every turn, is willing to help her.
To save her brother's life and her island home, her only choice is to trust someone she once considered an enemy, turn against her clan—a betrayal and a death sentence—and go on the run."
"A queer, feminist spin on Stephen King's The Mist, this ode to female-rage is a perfect pick for fans of She Is a Haunting, and a reminder that if "boys will be boys", girls will fight back.
For high school senior Nell and her friends, a vacation house on a private Florida island sounds like the makings of a dream spring break. But Nell brings secrets with her-secrets that fuse with the island's tragic history, trapping them all with a curse that surrounds the island in a toxic, vengeful mist and the surrounding waters with an unseen, devouring beast.
Getting out alive means risking her friendships, her sanity, and even her own life. In order to save herself and her friends, Nell will have to face memories she'd rather leave behind, reveal the horrific truth behind the encounter that changed her life one year ago, and face the shadow that's haunted her since childhood.
Easier said than done. But when Nell's friends reveal that they each brought secrets of their own, a solution even more dangerous than the curse begins to take shape. Reading like a YA feminist spin on Stephen King's The Mist, So Witches We Became is a diverse, queer horror about female friendship, the emotional aftermath of surviving assault, and how to find power in the shadows of your past.
Step into your witchy power or be swallowed by the curse-the choice is yours."
