After the tragic and unexplained death of her father, Ana Danvers moves across the country, to the tiny town of Crescent Falls, Oregon. There she meets Seth Asker, a mysterious and alluring young man, whom danger and secrets seem to follow.

Meeting Seth results in Ava questioning every aspect of her identity, unravelling the hidden truth of her entire existence, uncovering the darkest secrets of the past.

The Mystery of Warren’s Walk by Charlie Shephard

Living in a quaint little village should be relaxing, not some place where you should have to check over your shoulder in fear of sudden death.

Desmond Featherby thought so too, much to his detriment. Desmond’s body is discovered in the eerie woodland of Warren’s Walk, and is also where Desmond’s spectral form first awakens. Meeting the jovial Saxon warrior Orvyn and the regal Lady Abigail allows for Desmond to work side-by-side with fellow spirits to solve his own murder!

This ghostly whodunit weaves a gripping narrative of mystery, using a witty and heartwarming thread, to create a story that’ll keep readers guessing till the very end. If you’re a crime fan, this book is not to be missed!

Available in paperback.

In this candid and uplifting memoir, Amy Hudson brings readers on a two-wheeled adventure of resilience and recovery. Cycling offered Hudson the exact reprieve and rest from the troubles of everyday live, enhancing and strengthening her day-to-day existence in the process.

Amy’s story reminds us all that, even in the depths of anxiety, there is a possibility for growth, healing, and the rediscovery of happiness - one pedal at a time.

WOMAN: Fragile Until She Breaks… by Vasilis and Dimitris Tsafas

In a world of political oppositions, myriad opinions and seemingly more widespread division, it can be difficult to forget the love and respect that we all share.

Brothers Vasilis and Dimitris have never forgotten this and have created this poetry collection in testament to its importance. By approaching Man at his most infantile, soon after God created him, the Tsafas duo question Man’s apprehension and fear through emotional complexities that still exist in the modern day.

By achieving love and respect for all, we reach a world of blissfulness - falter and break the fragility of such an existence, and it can cut like a blade…

Available in paperback.
