Their supernatural talents could make them the perfect team — if Hell doesn’t claim them first.

Caleb Lockwood has a foolproof system for winning big in Las Vegas. Being part demon helps. Fresh from his escape from Hell, he’s looking to lie low and build a new life, starting with flipping a haunted house. Too bad his realtor has a knack for spotting supernatural trouble.

Delia Dunne’s business card might advertise “luxury real estate,” but her true expertise lies in cleansing properties of unwanted spectral tenants. When a casino executive hires her to investigate a streak of suspicious wins, she never expects her newest client — the charming house flipper with seemingly unlimited funds — to be at the center of it all.

From the moment Caleb and Delia step into a ghost-infested property, things get complicated: sparks fly between them, spirits vanish mysteriously, and demons start showing up with deadly intent. As Delia digs deeper into Caleb’s past, she uncovers a two-year-old disappearance, a rebellion in Hell, and a secret that could get them both killed. Worse, the powerful figure behind it all is closer than either of them realized — and he’s playing for keeps.

The stakes are high, the odds are stacked, and in Vegas, the house always wins. Unless you’ve got a quarter-demon and a ghost hunter in your corner.

Nick Hall awakens with powerful implants in his brain and assassins on his tail. And the future of humanity depends on his survival. Now the subject of an upcoming movie franchise!

When Nick Hall awakens inside a dumpster, bloodied and without a memory, he can’t imagine how things could get worse. But that’s before multiple assassins promptly start trying to kill him. Hall soon discovers that revolutionary electronics have been implanted in his brain, allowing him to wield the internet with his thoughts alone. Even more astonishingly—he can also read minds! Now, no secret is safe, and ruthless players around the world won’t rest until he’s dead.

But who inserted the implants? And why? And what secrets are hidden away in his own lost memory? If he can somehow survive long enough to answer these questions, he’ll change the world. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights—or bring about its total collapse.

Based on actual research on neural implants and thought-controlled web surfing, and foreshadowing the emergence of brain implant companies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, Mind’s Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about an extraordinary future that is just around the corner.

Mind’s Eye is the first pulse-pounding entry in a series of brilliant science-fiction thrillers. From the NY Times bestselling author whose books have sold over 3 million copies.

“Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton.” (SF Book)

“Richards is an extraordinary writer,”(Dean Koontz) who can “keep you turning the pages all night long.”(Douglas Preston)

Featured Fantasy: The Light Under the Shadow Wing (Heirs of the Second Dawn Book 1) by Amanda Bouchet

DANGER, DESIRE, AND KINGDOMS ON THE BRINK OF WAR.
Enter a world of secrets, betrayal, and high-stakes action in this sizzling, slow burn romantasy from USA Today bestselling author Amanda Bouchet.

A woman searching for answers.
Idallia has been serving in the Dragon King’s Elite Wing of dragon shifters for nearly two hundred years. She doesn’t have fire or flight of her own, but she’s a phoenix rider with enough speed and skill to make her enemies think twice about tangling with her or her warbirds.

Centuries of life without knowing who or what you are is complicated enough without harboring a growing secret attraction, but the more time Idallia spends with Bale Cinderheart, the harder it is to stay away from the fiercely protective Dragon King. Dominant, intense…and the one man with the power to ruin everything.

A king safeguarding his treasures.
Bale has centuries of ruling under his scales and more responsibilities than he has fangs. His greatest triumph is his Elite Wing and their warbirds, but his biggest fear is losing them. Especially Idallia. She’s his forbidden desire and the one person he can’t seem to let go of—even for his own good.

While the man in him guards his heart as relentlessly as the dragon in him guards his kingdom, he’s also the keeper of the answers Idallia has been seeking her whole life. Revealing the truth now could cost him everything—his home, his crown, his heart…

The threat of war looms as magic fades from the world of Ellonrift. Will the Dragon King preserve the fragile peace between the kingdoms? Or burn it all down, for her…
