From award-winning author Brian Keene comes a darkly suspenseful tale of crime and the common man—with a surprising jolt of the supernatural . . . Tommy O’Brien once hoped to leave his run-down industrial hometown. But marriage and fatherhood have kept him running in place, working a job that doesn’t even pay the bills. And now he seems fated to stay for the rest of his life. Tommy’s just learned he’s going to die young– and soon. But he refuses to leave his family with less than nothing–especially now that he has nothing to lose. Over a couple of beers with his best friends, John and Sherm, Tommy launches a bold scheme to provide for his family’s future. And though his plan will spin shockingly out of control, it will throw him together with a child whose touch can heal—and whose ultimate lesson is that there are far worse things than dying. “A powerful, unique novel with a fascinating plot and characters, and echoes of Stephen King’s working-class voice.”—Ed Gorman

In her early thirties, the stunning blonde, Willa Carpenter, seemed to have it all. Her romance novels always made the best seller list and her life in urban D.C. was filled with friends and good times at the illustrious Willard Hotel. But deep inside Willa there was a light that had gone out when both her famous parents were killed in a senseless car accident. She was eighteen and alone, except for the care of a watchful and loving aunt. The joy in her life seemed over except for her desire to become successful; the wish of her novelist mother and insanely funny father who wrote a beloved weekly comic strip. While her days of youth and daydreams of summers in Maine were gone, Willa succeeded in everything she set out to do, except for one important thing: the love of a man to share it with. After one intense relationship that ended badly, Willa decided to concentrate on her writing. With success after success Willa's name became a household word for women loving the intrigue, betrayal and happy endings that a good romance novel delivers. Then something inside of her snapped and she couldn't write a word. Nothing came. Desperate to overcome this state of mind and heart, Willa had to get it back before her publisher, the indomitable Kit Winthrop came down on her with a vengeance. Trying to find the right words and story to go with it, Willa happened to see a short article in the paper that might lead to something. She could never imagine that meeting a young college graduate and following that article would lead her to a woman who would change her life forever. A woman who lived on an island that was magical. Willa was about to go on an adventure that would bring her all the things that had long been taken from her and find the love she had been looking for in the peace and serenity that could only be found on a small piece of land that defied time in the enchanted Chesapeake.

In the fourth novel in Anne Bishop’s New York Times bestselling series, the Others will need to decide how much humanity they’re willing to tolerate—both within themselves and their community... Since the Others allied themselves with the cassandra sangue, the fragile yet powerful human blood prophets who were being exploited by their own kind, the dynamic between humans and Others has changed. Some, such as Simon Wolfgard, wolf shifter and leader of the Lakeside Courtyard, and blood prophet Meg Corbyn see the closer companionship as beneficial. But not everyone is convinced. A group of radical humans is seeking to usurp land through a series of violent attacks on the Others. What they don’t realize is that there are older and more dangerous forces than shifters and vampires protecting the land—and those forces are willing to do whatever is necessary to safeguard what is theirs...
