Sublet L.C. Kincaide
An apartment to die for!
Life hasn’t been kind to Julia lately, and receiving a Tarot card in the mail from a mysterious sender doesn’t help. In fact, her two friends have also received one and agree that the card could just as easily be a harbinger of good fortune rather than ill tidings.
Refusing to be spooked, she sets aside the forewarning, focusing instead on moving to the affordable apartment she sublet in a gorgeous brownstone in a trendy neighborhood.
But no sooner does Julia move in than strange things start happening, which she attributes to her active imagination — she’s an artist after all — or possibly her pain meds. It hasn’t yet occurred to her that it could be something sinister instead.
Time will tell, but time isn’t on her side.

Dark Paradise Gene Desrochers
Emotionally adrift, lonely after his wife’s death, Boise Montague does the thing no one should ever do: he goes back home again.
Boise remembered the Caribbean home of his childhood – in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands – as a paradise. But when his best friend is murdered and the case quickly buried by local police, Boise realizes how far paradise has fallen.
With the aid of Dana Goode, a local reporter investigating the kidnapping of a real estate mogul’s daughter, Boise goes on the hunt for his friend’s killer. But he’ll find more than he bargained for – much more. Because in the once-sleepy island city of Charlotte Amalie, sun, sand, and surf have been replaced by madness, mayhem, and murder – and his friend’s death was just a warm-up.
Going home again can literally be murder – especially when your home has changed from Heaven on Earth… to a Dark Paradise.

Gloria Rank has lived her entire life in the dark. Blind since birth, she has made a name for herself as a respected talk radio show host in New Jersey. When her younger sister, Anna, has her identity stolen and a man is murdered outside her apartment, Anna becomes the prime suspect in an FBI investigation. But when bodies begin piling up around her, the FBI has to admit that she is being stalked by a murderer. With the FBI focused in the wrong direction, it is up to Gloria to teach Anna to use her other senses--hearing, touch, taste, and smell--which she never really had to completely rely on before to help uncover a ring of identity thieves and stop the killer from taking her life, and perhaps Gloria's as well! Their only hope for survival is an experiment in perception that will unearth

A transparent background image of a subtle particle dissolve effect drifting from left to right. The particles are soft, fine, and lightly scattered, not dense or chaotic. The shape suggests part of a human silhouette fading into small fragments.
The particles are semi-transparent and vary in size, with some forming faint hints of numbers and broken text strings, barely visible. The effect should feel like a person dissolving into data, but very restrained and elegant.
Color palette is soft white, pale blue, and light gray. No harsh colors. No glow effects that overpower the image.

Two Bullets In A Bayou Bill Black
Harry Barnes, a New Orleans lawyer, gets a call from an old lover. Her uncle, Chick Charbonnet, has been murdered and she wants Harry to clear his name.
Chick was the umpire whose blown call gave the World Series to the underdog Mets. It’s obvious the Series was rigged, and Chick was bribed.
As Harry begins to dig at the facts, his beloved City is descending into chaos. The heads of the two largest drug gangs have been assassinated.
The smallest drug gang in the city, run by the Cubans, are the beneficiaries of the murders. They are importing lower cost fentanyl from China, giving them an edge in the market.
Harry finds clues linking the Cubans not only to the two drug lords’ murders, but to Chick’s death as well. It becomes clear the killer was a New Orleans woman, Erica Banks.
But she disappeared a year ago. Harry had traced her to Cuba, where she had fled to join a state-run paid assassination service. Is Erica back in town? Murdering people again?

There’s always someone out there who likes what another does but finding them is indeed a stretch. Truth be told, they actually find you.
Sounds like a very interesting story. I love superheroes so this sounds like it would be right up my alley! Caught in the middle of what is right/wrong and what needs to be done. I got goosebumps!

Couldn't put this story and ended up reading it far into the night. The day to day running of care facilities is interesting with the fascinating characters weaved into the story. Not just a good thriller, but touching, too.

The Grammar of Attention: A Mindscript Prequel Richard Pidwell
A book should not be able to notice you.
This one does.
The Grammar of Attention is a quiet descent into grief, language, and the dangerous need to make sense of what should be left alone. The deeper you look, the more it seems to look back: patient, precise, and far too aware of the mind reading it. Meaning shifts. Small details begin to feel arranged. Even your own attention starts to seem less like something you control, and more like something being guided.
Set in the shadows before Mindscript, this free prequel opens the door to a world where interpretation is never passive, reality is only ever provisional, and the act of reading comes with consequences.
If you’re drawn to psychological horror that unsettles rather than shouts, begin here. And If this gets under your skin, continue into Mindscript by Richard Pidwell — available now on Amazon.

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.
