Every night since his girlfriend left him, David Alexander's sleep has been troubled by vivid fantasies of suicide. After an unusual romantic encounter during an illusionist's performance, David's repressed post-breakup loneliness and depression begin to manifest themselves in increasingly bizarre and sometimes dangerous ways. Part surreal mystery, part hallucinatory tragicomedy, Kissing Oblivion details a week in the darkly funny life of a man whose bond with reality, and possibly space and time, has become severed to the point where he can no longer trust his own senses.
Eden is still working on freeing herself from the control of her evil overlords, but it’s proving to be harder than she’d hoped. The prediction Madam Quilla foretold for her future still hasn’t come true. She is drawn to the disturbingly sexy master vampire who keeps turning up to rescue her, but he doesn’t seem to be the answer to her problems. Sebastian has tried to forget about the woman who has ensnared him with her beauty. She is a distraction from his goal to seek revenge on his nemesis, yet he can’t get her out of his mind. His only choice is to seduce her so he can get her out of his system, then focus on his mission to find a suitable partner to become bonded to. Eden resorts to seeking out an exiled fairy for assistance. She discovers the spell Lord Dallinar cast on her is going to be harder to destroy than she’d figured. She will need someone who can use black magic to dispel it. That means she’ll have to deal with someone who is just as evil as the fae lord who bound her power. The assassin will do whatever she has to in order to be free, even if it means teaming up with a creature no sane person would trust.
Four girls. One summer. And a pact to do the impossible. Skyler, Ellie, Scarlett, and Amelia Grace are forced to spend the summer at the lake house where their moms became best friends. One can’t wait. One would rather gnaw off her own arm than hang out with a bunch of strangers just so their moms can drink too much wine and sing Journey at two o'clock in the morning. Two are sisters. Three are currently feuding with their mothers. One is hiding how bad her joint pain has gotten. All of them are hiding something. One falls in love with a boy she thought she despised. One almost sets her crush on fire with a flaming marshmallow. One has a crush that could change everything. None of them are the same at the end of the summer.

The riveting new Clay Edison thriller from the bestselling, acclaimed father-son duo who write “brilliant, page-turning fiction” (Stephen King) Cut loose from his former life at the coroner’s office, Clay Edison has set up shop as a private investigator. It’s steady, safe work. Until it isn’t. The trouble begins when a young man, tasked with managing his grandmother’s estate, hires Clay to examine some minor financial discrepancies. What starts off as a case of simple fraud rapidly explodes into a web of deception, an elaborate con game stretching back decades and involving countless victims. All the evidence points to a tiny town on California’s rugged, remote Lost Coast. Good luck getting there, though. And Clay’s reward for surviving the journey is a trigger-happy welcoming committee, ready to guard their secrets with lethal force. Navigating this landscape of savage waves and savage lies brings Clay into collision with a host of other players: a grieving mother, an enigmatic teenager, a reclusive military veteran, a foul-mouthed PI pursuing her own agenda. And the price of truth will turn out to be higher—and deadlier—than Clay could have imagined. From the minds of Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman comes a heart-stopping tale of deception and redemption—bursting with action, suspense, and unforgettable characters.

Jade, a teen runaway and sex worker-turned-killer, has been restrained and is being driven into the deep woods in the dark night to be brutally murdered. Through Jade we learn the details of her heartbreaking life up to this point and how she came to be in this frightening predicament. Jade was born Laura, an only child raised by a caring mother in the city of Highbridge. After Laura’s mother gets sick, her father, an alcoholic who has been in and out of the women’s lives, returns to attend to the mother of his child in her final days. After her mom’s passing, Laura’s father disappears. A sad and scared Laura is soon taken in by two prostitutes who teach her the ways of the streets and rename her Jade Suede. The pair of working girls eventually leave Jade in a brothel where she is recruited by a loan shark/nightclub owner named Max Burke who hires her to seduce and kill deadbeat debtors. Along the way Jade falls in love with a gravedigger who also works for Burke. Wanting a better life for themselves, the lovers make a daring plan to escape their wretched world of homicide and lechery that will either lead them to freedom or get them both killed.
