Evil never really dies. It rises, again and again.

Now—Kari knows it’s rising inside her.

After barely defeating wicked Shadow Witch Raven, the wolf-demon knows her turmoil is far from over when her vanquished foe invades her dreams. And a new power stirs within her: thanks to Raven’s cunning, Kari’s potential as the Catalyst has awoken. A conduit for a terrifying, world-cracking force—one that could open at any moment.

Kari has resisted this new temptation thus far. But Raven again forces her hand, unleashing a demonic abomination to draw her prey out—a deadlier foe than any Kari has faced before. If she taps into this dark new power, she could become strong enough to defend the people she cares about. But the Catalyst has bloodthirsty designs of its own…

If she submits, what new horrors will be inflicted on the world Kari’s come to love?

#BookReview: Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess

Synopsis: They say love is all you need…

When Jess lands a job as an analyst at Goldman Sachs, she’s less than thrilled to learn she’ll be on the same team as Josh, her preppy, white, conservative sparring partner from college. Josh loves playing the devil’s advocate and is just…the worst.

But when Jess finds herself the sole Black woman on the floor, overlooked and underestimated, it’s Josh who shows up for her in surprising—if imperfect—ways. Before long, an unlikely friendship—one tinged with undeniable chemistry—forms between the two. A friendship that gradually, and then suddenly, turns into an electrifying romance that shocks them both.

Despite their differences, the force of their attraction propels the relationship forwards, and Jess begins to question whether it’s more important to be happy than right. But then it’s 2016, and the cultural and political landscape shifts underneath them. And Jess, who is just beginning to discover who she is and who she has the right to be, is forced to ask herself what she’s willing to compromise for love and whether, in fact, everything’s fine.

A stunning debut that introduces Cecilia Rabess as a blazing new talent, Everything’s Fine is a hilarious, poignant, heartfelt novel that doesn’t just ask will they, but…should they?

This title will be released on June 6, 2023.

When Bethany West swapped her lucrative modeling career for her dream job as a funeral director, she expected to blow the roof off the Victorian-era mortuary with her eco-friendly innovations and death positive attitude. Instead she’s only managed to piss off her bitter business partner, George Smythe, a man dead set on maintaining the status quo and driving Bethany out of his family business.

The worst part is pretending she doesn’t have feelings for the grump in the gray suit—a man so rigid, he probably has embalming fluid surging through his veins.

When the pair are forced together at a conference in New Orleans, Bethany finally gets the chance to exhume what’s really buried beneath George’s ice-cold contempt for the living.

Little by little, he lets her dig.

Soon enough, he starts to recognize not only the value of her business model, but an intense and dangerous attraction to the blonde bombshell mortician.

But the truth behind George's past is worse than Bethany suspected. Unless he opens up and leans on her—at the risk of succumbing to their cremation-level attraction—he’ll jeopardize both the business and their hearts by refusing the true partnership they both need.

Dante DiLustro.

Persistent. Stubborn. Deadly.

The devil.

Juliette Brennan.

Tenacious. Beautiful. Formidable.

The minx.

She never expected his persistence, nor the way her body warmed each time the devil came around, which only made her fight the attraction that much harder.

She had vengeance to deliver and now there was blood on her hands. She had her secrets and she intended to keep them. Let the world think she was crazy, out of control. It made her real sins easy to hide.

One visit to Las Vegas sent it all spiraling to hell. There was a reason Dante was considered the Devious Kingpin.

But one thing was certain. This Juliette didn’t need a Romeo and she certainly wasn’t a damsel in distress.
