CONDEMNED TO THE DARK, WILL THE LIGHT'S LAST HOPE DESCEND INTO HELL?

Clare Aireneth has one week to write her entire thesis. As a student of the prestigious Royal Academy, her work on Magitech automatons needs to not only impress her professors, but also honor the legacy of her late mother - who practically wrote the book on humanity's mechanized companions.

Clare’s father is the kingdom's only Magitech substation rounds officer. From his weekly adjustments, he ensures the city's tens of thousands of machines are powered and operate as they should. The industrial automatons lurking below do the rest of the work for him.

To be caught down there is a crime punishable by life imprisonment, but again, Clare's thesis is due in a week and she's willing to take risks.

She'll soon regard this as a mistake.

Going underground into the substation system, Clare finds a discovery seeking to remain hidden at any cost. It has intelligence. It hunts. It can KILL. And Clare just slapped it across the face.

Welcome to Substation 7, an atmospheric, seeping fantasy thriller where the world is the lie, and that lie wants you dead.

A chilling, suspense-filled ghost story from multimillion-copy bestselling author Peter James, now also a hit stage show.

Ollie and Caro Harcourt are moving house with their twelve-year-old daughter Jade. Ollie is desperate to leave the city. Caro is less sure. Then they view Cold Hill House, a dilapidated rural mansion, and fall instantly in love. It’s expensive, but with its space, seclusion and huge grounds it seems like a brilliant idea.

That is, until they arrive.

It soon becomes apparent that they are not alone. A spectral woman appears on screens and walks the corridors, vanishing before she can be challenged. Strange occurrences become ever more common. Then Caro starts seeing faces, always looking out of the same upstairs window.

The room behind it could hold the key to the disturbing secret behind the house’s mysterious past. Except for the fact that the room doesn’t seem to exist…

A blood-chilling horror novel from one of the true masters of thrills, perfect for fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

They say a dress can make a woman, but in this case, the dress is Death, and Death Becomes Her very well indeed.

Queen Bitch

The UnknownWorld is reeling from change. 

Bethany Anne has started to make a difference in the first week of being 'awake'. Now, America has been losing good men since their teams don't have a Vampire to help them and Frank is hoping Bethany Anne can, and will, help.

Further, the American Pack Council is having internal problems with their own "young and dumb" Were's who want to ignore Michael's strictures. 

With no one seeing Michael, the fear of the 'Boogeyman' is starting to recede.

Love Lost

When one of Bethany Anne's loved one gets caught in the crossfire between her and the Forsaken, she goes rabid in rage. She doesn't believe in seeking peace and harmony, but rather revenge and mayhem.

Continuing the story of Bethany Anne and TQB team, Love Lost picks up after Queen Bitch. She works to complete both her business and military team leads and we meet Stephen's daughter Gabrielle as plans are made to exact revenge South of the Border.

You don't touch one of Bethany Anne's loved ones and get away with it, no matter how far away you live.

One of these days, she will get a break. Fortunately for us, it wasn't today.

Never Forsaken

Life is beyond dangerous when you are caught up in the ongoing war between Bethany Anne's group and the Forsaken. 

Both Vampires and Humans have been targeted, but if there is one thing that those who work with Bethany Anne learn, it is you are NEVER FORSAKEN.

Under My Heel

Europe is erupting is tension and violence.

There is one thing every enemy of Bethany Anne finds out. They will be ground down under her heels.

Kneel or Die

The future just went upside down, when a nascent AI is added against Bethany Anne's wishes.

Then, there is David and his issues to take care of, permanently. 

Bethany Anne has had it with Terrorists.

The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle. Now, in Death Masks, Jim Butcher’s smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he can handle...

Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad. Such as:

• A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...
• Professional hit men using Harry for target practice...
• The missing Shroud of Turin—and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...
• A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified...

Not to mention the return of Harry’s ex-girlfriend Susan, who’s still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you’re charging.
