New Year, New Thrills!

Welcome to the Royal Karnak, where the luxury is threadbare, the secrets are thick, and the sun isn’t the only thing scorching. 🏨

Eighty-one-year-old Maggie Burkhardt just wanted peace under the Saharan sun—but meddling is second nature. When a young mother and her sly eight-year-old son arrive, Maggie sees an opportunity to “help.” What she doesn’t realize is that she’s invited chaos into her life, and this time, she may have met her match.

From the author of A Beautiful Crime , Havoc is a masterclass in psychological suspense—twisty, addictive, and impossible to put down, this is a war between age and youth you’ll never forget. 🤯

Step into The House of Gazes—a poignant journey of loss, identity, and rebirth. 🌟

Follow Daniele, a young poet burdened by an ‘invisible disease of the heart and mind,’ as he searches for meaning in a world that doesn’t quite fit him. Taking a job at a pediatric hospital, he’s thrown into a realm of terminally ill children, broken families, and colleagues who, like him, grapple with life’s fragility.

It’s here that Daniele confronts pain and, in doing so, learns to embrace life in all its raw beauty. ❤️‍🩹

And with that, the 2024 season comes to an end... BUT not before we share our final of the year! 🌟 Des’ree from our marketing team tell us more about 💛 The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon 💜

“Confession time: I’m not usually a romantasy reader (this is, in fact, my first-ever romantasy series), but toss an ‘enemies-to-lovers’ trope my way, and I will EAT IT UP every single time. 😳

The Hurricane Wars delivers everything you’d want from a romantasy: breathtaking world-building (worthy of its own review), and the kind of slow-burn tension between two leads, Alaric and Talasyn, that will have you screaming into your pillow. Special shoutout to Thea Guanzon’s incredible character work—it had me giggling, kicking my feet, and completely invested.

The banter that flows between all the characters is absolutely chefs kiss. (I’m quite partial to the ones between Alaric and his irreverent subordinate and sometimes confidante, Sevraim). ⭐

The writing definitely plays a massive part in making this such an engaging read. I didn’t even realise how quickly I was getting through the pages. You just get so immersed into the story time flies by!

TLDR; As a newly converted romantasy girlie, this is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to dive into the genre.

PS: You girls can have Alaric—Sevraim has my entire heart. 😉”
