Hunting Adeline

by H.D. Carlton

5 / 5

Hunting Adeline is the highly anticipated conclusion in the Cat and Mouse Duet, picking up after the chilling events of Haunting Adeline. Not for the faint of heart, Carlton takes a plunge deeper into the darkness, pushing the boundaries of what a romance thriller can be. Where the first book was haunting, this one is harrowing-a brutal journey of survival, obsession, and vengeance that drags readers in with every page.

The novel starts with Adeline in captivity, abducted by a strong trafficking organization, the Society. Without freedom, she is thrown into a nightmarish world where the fight for living is unenduring, resisted by will-breaking processes continuously meted out to her. To them, she is just merchandise, a prize to be sold to whatever bidder offers the highest price. And the psychological torture she would have to go through is just soul-crushing.

Declan

by Joan Morven

3 / 5

Viviana Morelli is the daughter her father never wanted at the table. When Declan Callaghan, head of the Irish Consortium, is offered his pick of the Morelli sisters in exchange for a stake in the family’s docks, he passes over the two who were groomed for exactly this moment and chooses her instead: the one who spends the gathering ignoring the room, drinking alone at the bar. Married within the week, Viviana is dropped into a mansion full of guns, guards, and three brothers who run half the city’s underworld, expected to play the compliant wife and doing nothing of the sort.

What starts as two people testing how far they can push each other turns into something neither wants to name, right as Viviana starts pulling at a thread in Declan’s past that neither of them can afford to find. The marriage that was supposed to be a business transaction turns into the most dangerous thing either of them has ever signed up for, and the reason it was ever arranged in the first place is darker and more personal than either of them assumes going in.

Kingdom of Ash & Bone

by Raven Storm

3 / 5

Mari is a mud quarter girl who was reaped into the Seat, the isolated royal enclave ruling over a caste-divided kingdom, and bonded to twin dragon princes, Zion and Zariah, as their mate. Book two picks up with that bond intact but the larger problem still very much alive: the queen who cursed her own bloodline into dragons, and cursed the Noble class into demons as punishment for generations of enslaving Mari’s people, is not going to give up her throne quietly.

What follows is a kingdom in open collapse: a refugee camp full of people who’ve lost everything, a half-brother running an underground refuge for the ones slowly turning into demons, and a mother-queen willing to burn her own city to the ground rather than lose control of it. Mari spends the book trying to hold together a found family that keeps growing even as the people around her keep dying, while the truth about the curse, the queen, and what’s actually still alive underneath the ruined mud quarter gets pulled further into the light with every chapter.

The Last Immortal

by Natalie Gibson

5 / 5

Lady Ramillia Winmoore is twelve years old when she wakes strapped to a table in a Victorian asylum for the criminally insane, told she butchered her own parents and has no memory of it. What actually happened to her, and what she is, unspools slowly and never comfortably: she is a “Carrier,” one of a hidden bloodline of the nearly unkillable, and her freedom from that asylum comes at the price of a marriage arranged since before she was born, to a man who has been shaping her whole existence from the shadows.

What follows refuses to stay a single story. A rescue becomes a trap, a trap becomes a education in exactly how deep the rot of immortality goes, and a mother’s fight to protect her children becomes something far larger and far darker: a reckoning that eventually spans continents, empires, and centuries, carried by a narrator whose own mind has splintered into pieces just to survive what was done to her.

Blood of Desiderium (The Divide Book 1)

by Ali Stuebbe

4 / 5

Blood of Desiderium by Ali Stuebbe—dark fantasy, court intrigue, and forbidden lust. A young fae princess, quite literally cloistered inside the palace of her father, has had the magic stripped away and replaced in her heart with freedom. Emma’s life turns into a mystery where real facts seem to raise a question mark over the security of her kingdom.

Interesting Beginning: The novel begins with a very exciting encounter. It even extends to the point of exposing what is underneath the suffocating atmosphere of Emma’s enclosure. Thus, it was this strong beginning that held the reader in suspense for the scene of exciting happenings.
