The Shadow Host by River Starling
The Vine Sea is alive and full of monsters.
Can Sinopa and her family defy the odds and make it through the jungle to the rumored safe haven in the valley? Only the desperate would attempt this journey. But trying is not succeeding – or even surviving.
Following an ancient map, they encounter strange creatures and stumble upon the ruins of a lost temple. With danger lurking, Sinopa must decide whether to accept the eidolon’s offer of power - is she willing to give up her freedom to ensure her family’s passage beyond the Vine Sea?
This is a prequel short story for The Jaguar Flame.
After the Devil by Kayla Krantz
It's our darkest parts that know us best.
Alex Alpine is unhappy with her life—a dead-end job, a marriage that's falling apart, and a failed string of self-published books. In an effort to better her life for her and her daughter, she makes the decision to quit writing in order to get a second job. Jamie, a recovered addict and Alex's only fan, can't bring himself to accept her decision.
Convinced he can fix her, he kidnaps her and holds her hostage in his home in the woods. As Alex's captivity extends from weeks to months, Alex finds herself torn between her duties to the daughter she left behind and the life Jamie has made for her. To figure out where her true priorities lie, she must dive into not only her own past traumas but Jamie's as well.
That's it for this month. Happy Reading.
