Sublet
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.

The plot twists and turns as Frankie struggles to please the owners and reopen the restaurant, while also dealing with the opposing forces of gun-running criminals and the authorities who are trying to catch them.

Shadow Ballet- Betrayal Izabell Key
"I'm trapped. They want my blood. They want my head.
I feel a rat walking on my corpse. The blood on my skin… I can smell the soil. There is a song in my ears disturbing with insolence the silence of the forest. It is not your beautiful voice. I want to cover my ears… but I can not move."
Jerry opens his eyes in a cell, accused of the murder of the most feared gangster in Atlantic City: His dad.
On his way to jail, Jerry bursts out for vengeance, but whoever set him up placed a large bounty on his head. Head hunters, police and detectives on the payroll are after him. It is not very easy to survive the night. So, he does not. Jerry gets shot.
A beautiful prostitute, Lin, finds Jerry and shelters him. However, she has no idea who Jerry is and what kind of trouble he brings.

Shadow Ballet- Betrayal by Izabell Key. To me it seemed like a female revision of 'Sin City' (movie): Jerry, the son of a crime-boss gets hamstrung during the powerplays of organized crime, gets shot, and left for dead. But an angel of the night, a prostitute named Lin, has mercy on Mr. Amnesia, and grants him shelter. That is a daring recipe, full of potential and social, or amorous, intricacies! Izabell Key challenges our expectations, keeps us guessing about a happy end, or a downward spiral, and chose a cover style reminding of noir-classics, or modern noir sub-genres.
