When eighteen-year-old Lexi foresees the brutal murder of a young woman outside a club in downtown L.A., she is powerless to stop it. But then the girl’s ghost appears, seeking vengeance, and Lexi is swept into a dangerous search that could put her directly in the path of a serial killer. From the author of Devils Unto Dust, this fast-paced and literary thriller will haunt fans of Maureen Johnson’s Truly Devious and Karen M. McManus’s One of Us Is Lying. With a touch, Lexi can sense how and when someone will die. Some say it’s a gift. But to Lexi it’s a curse—one that keeps her friendless and alone. All that changes when Lexi foresees the violent death of a young woman, Jane, outside a club. Jane doesn’t go to the afterlife quietly. Her ghost remains behind, determined to hunt down her murderer, and she needs Lexi’s help. In life, Jane was everything Lexi is not—outgoing, happy, popular. But in death, all Jane wants is revenge. Lexi will do anything to help Jane, to make up for the fact that she didn’t—couldn’t—save Jane’s life, and to keep this beautiful ghost of a girl by her side for as long as possible. Emma Berquist’s second novel is a haunting and atmospheric murder mystery that tackles themes of depression, loneliness, love, and identity. This high-concept novel is for fans of Holly Black’s The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.

The true story of a bizarre case in Myrtle Beach, and the trials that followed a young woman’s disappearance, by the bestselling author of Better Off Dead. On a cold Southern night in 2013, under a full moon, twenty-year-old Heather Elvis parked her car at a boat ramp along the Intracoastal Waterway and was never seen again. The disappearance of the beautiful, vivacious hostess at a popular Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, restaurant made international headlines and triggered a sweeping high-stakes investigation that exposed a twisted web of deception, betrayal, sexual obsession, police corruption, and revenge. But Heather’s body was never located. A series of sensational trials involving a handsome restaurant coworker and his Disneyland-obsessed wife resulted in shocking verdicts—but no body—as her family desperately sought closure and fought for justice, and a resort town struggled to regain calm. This is the full compelling story from a renowned author of true crime.

A bundle of books #4 (ALREADY MISSING), #5 (ALREADY DEAD), and #6 (ALREADY TAKEN) in Blake Pierce’s Laura Frost FBI suspense thriller series! This bundle offers books four, five, and six in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading. In ALREADY MISSING, FBI Special Agent and single mom Laura Frost, 35, is haunted by her talent: a psychic ability which she refuses to face and which she keeps secret from her colleagues. Yet as much as Laura wants to be normal, she cannot turn off the flood of images that plague her at every turn: vivid visions of future killers and their victims. Women are turning up dead, clocks found mysteriously around their necks, ticking away the seconds before their death. Can FBI Special Agent (and psychic) Laura Frost stop this serial killer before time runs out on his next victim? This time, Laura’s visions aren’t just confusing—they run directly counter to the evidence. Following them can get her fired. But not trusting them can mean a life. Will her gift lead her down the wrong path? And will this killer’s sick mind games finish her off for good? In ALREADY DEAD, As a string of bodies turns up, abandoned in increasingly public places, the FBI notes that they all have something in common: a single, burning candle at the scene of the crime. Is he playing a sick game? Laura must decode the riddle: what does the fire mean? What drives him? And, most importantly, who is next? In ALREADY TAKEN, When victims of a serial killer turn up with a creepy signature left on their foreheads—an ornate, wax seal—FBI Special Agent Laura Frost is plagued with visions of people from past centuries. Is her psychic vision misleading her? Or leading her right into the arms of a killer? As Laura inspects the wax seals, she realizes the killer is hinting at something. But what? With her detective skills pulling her one way and her psychic vision another, she is torn. Should she trust what’s in front of her? Or should she trust what her unconscious mind is telling her? In this twisted game of cat and mouse, there is no room for error. Because if she gets it wrong, another victim will be next. A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the LAURA FROST series is a startlingly fresh mystery, rife with suspense, twists and turns, shocking revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Books #7-#9 are also available!

A middle-aged irascible couple goes to Phi Phi to inject romance into their boring career-driven existence. The trip turns into comical mishaps that expose deep differences and threatens to tear them apart. The bitter-sweet experiences are laughable. Readers discover reflections from their own life hidden in the humor as the holiday reaches an unexpected end. Out of the blue something snapped. It was wife. “Stop giving instructions. STOP telling me what to do!” I quickly looked around. We were about 100-150 meters from the shore. I was relieved nobody would hear us. “You can paddle correctly left-right, left-right. At least we will go straight.” Said I, trying to remain calm. “Shut up. I will NOT row.” “It’s quite easy. Just make a little effort. Follow my instructions!” said I, not realizing the supreme stupidity of my statement. Strong independent woman are not the ones born to follow instructions. And certainly not those from their spouse. Kayak or no kayak. Phi Phi be damned. “My back’s hurting, you idiot!. Give me support!!” yelled she. Her words and tone didn’t quite addup. I sensed more exasperation than pain in her voice. An engaging light-hearted romantic comedy you don’t want to put down!
