Merry Christmas! - Launch - Note from the Author

a mother will do anything - A Mother’s Lie by Jo Crow

"I haven't been this impressed by a debut from an author since Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris. The author really nailed making you feel just how isolated Clara was and just how desperate she was. Too many times while reading this I was gasping out loud due to a turn I hadn't seen coming or an injustice I just couldn't believe. It usually takes me about seven days to read a book due to work and kids but I devoured this in a little over 24 hours. I can't wait to spread the word about this knockout debut." - Katrece, Goodreads

despite all the challenges - After the Fall (Seven Winds #2) by Katy Ames

"After the Fall was a sexy and entertaining standalone romance, and a wonderful installment in the Seven Winds series. Katy Ames did a fantastic job with this book and I was extremely pleased with the outcome to Mark and Grace's story. Ms. Ames is an incredibly talented writer and I am very much looking forward to reading more of her amazing romances!" - Julia, Goodreads

a delightful thriller - The Body in the Casket (Faith Fairchild #24) by Katherine Hall Page

"With a good share of unlikable characters, The Body in the Casket is reminiscent of both a good Agatha Christie novel or the board game Clue, and for me, at least, the villain, when finally revealed, was a complete surprise. Easy, enjoyable reading, good characterisation, and a compelling story line (actually several story lines interwoven), how could I not enjoy and recommend this book. And as the protagonist is a caterer, there are even recipes that tempt. Highly recommended."- Bryan, Goodreads

Don’t believe everything you see. - Countdown (Cassidy & Spenser #5) by Carey Baldwin

an exciting and fast-paced mystery - One Red Bastard (Detective Robert Chow #3) by Ed Lin
