The Children (Murphy’s Law Book 2) by Ernie J. Sinclair Available April 30

Author: Ernie J. Sinclair

Book two of this exciting new series is filled with fast-paced action, zombie carnage, and the evils that men do when there is no law… Except Murphy’s Law!

Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong and at the worst possible moment. Truer words have never been spoken about Dillon Winters and his brother, Zach, who are doing their best to carve out a new life for themselves on the plains of west-central Kansas. After barely escaping with their lives while fleeing the horrors of Dallas, TX, they are forging ahead as they undertake a mission to unite others in a common goal: survival.

As their small community grows, so do the problems. The infected remain a constant danger, but the brothers soon realize the much deadlier enemy is actually the human survivors who are only out for themselves.

Dillon grows closer to Sara, a fellow survivor and divorcée from an abusive marriage, while her ex-husband’s anger grows at their burgeoning relationship.

Tensions rise when a woman’s body is discovered hanging from a rope in the middle of the compound. Was it suicide or murder? Not sure who he can trust, Dillon searches for the truth while battling gangs, the infected, and the evil within their own walls.

On top of everything else, a scavenging mission goes horribly wrong as Murphy’s Law collides with them at every turn and threatens to take Zach away. With most of his family already dead, missing, or infected, Dillon is willing to fight his way to Hell and back to save his brother’s life.

Through it all, Dillon must battle his internal demons as he continues to struggle with his daughter’s death and the strange nightmares that are becoming more and more frequent.

Born in Blood (Vampire Queens Book 1) by Rachel L. Stedman Available April 30

Author: Rachel L. Stedman

Many vamps live ordinary lives, working as nurses, lorry drivers, teachers. But there is another group; the ones the stories are about. The dragons, the clan-leaders. Dragons are the reason we need the Houses; the reason Hunters exist.

My name is Madison, and I am a vampire hunter.

I’m deadly, fast and totally independent. I don’t need anyone’s help, least of all Brett O’Hagan’s. Sure, he’s good looking, and able to handle himself in a fight, but the last thing I need in my life is another complication. Although, when on business in Europe, I surprise a vamp attack on schoolgirls, Brett proves to be surprisingly useful.

Okay, so I’m grateful. Whatever. I’m not falling for him, oh no.

I have enough to do. My grandmother’s growing irritable (and since she’s a vampire, that’s a problem), plus Harry, my mentor, coach and father figure, has disappeared. And if that’s not enough, there’s trouble in the Hunter Houses, and rumors of a renegade dragon named Kade.

But Brett is amazingly good with his hands. In all the right ways.

What if eating the walking dead was the only way to ensure you don’t become one? If you ingest the meat of the dead, you can avoid that fate. But if you consume too much, it becomes a highly addictive drug, transforming those who are addicted into meatheads-emaciated junkies only focused on getting their next fix.

Paco’s family is dead, and he is alone … until his dead little sister Sophia speaks. But the dead can’t talk, can’t think. Paco decides Sophia is special and takes her to the city to find a doctor who can help her and figure out what’s making her so … alive. But Paco and Sophia quickly find out the city isn’t safe … and they are the only children there.

Author: Kendra Moreno

Love is a weapon. . .

Evangeline is used to being sought after. As a star, her power is a deeply coveted prize, but when she finds herself in yet another dungeon, she’s starting to wonder if she’s destined to a life of imprisonment. She only wants to be free, but the worlds are desperate to keep her from living a life unburdened.

The Grimm Forest is an entirely new beast for Eva, but none of that compares to the glorious trickster dropped in the cell beside hers. Rumpelstiltskin is a selfish monster, but beneath his illusions and deals, Eva sees a creature worthy of love. Still, there are at least a hundred reasons to ignore the feelings.

Things are turning upside down in Grimm and Eva isn’t sure what she can do to help. Locked away in the dungeons, she should be worried about fighting for her own freedom, not about how her heart aches when Rumple looks at her. The worlds are unstable. The darkness is rising. Will Evangaline’s glow be enough to keep her in the light? Or will she lose the very core of who she is to the trickster who dares to call her by name?

The darkness is coming to Grimm. . .

Apok: The Birth of Đavo by Adrian Lee Baker Available April 29

Author: Adrian Lee Baker

Set in 1991 against the prelude to war in Croatia, Apok is a dystopian view of an imperfect world on the brink, as seen through the eyes of the equally imperfect hero sent to save it. For he is the ultimate psychopath, a formidable, soon-to-be-invincible, death machine, an anomaly which science thought impossible yet which religion had always prophesied. Who said the next messiah would be from heaven and that the second coming hasn’t already happened? And what if the battle for humankind’s survival is just about to begin?

Apok is a thought-provoking horror-fantasy, an exhilarating tour de force of forbidden taboos and crippling addiction. It is the stuff of nightmares, a roller coaster ride through the darkest recesses of the human psyche, where demons and monsters from twilight dimensions rip your dreams apart. It takes you through the pain barrier to places none of us want to go but are still curious to explore despite the terror. Apok is about humanity’s failings and how our species is heading for oblivion; it is about one man’s incredible journey and his audacious plan to put things right.

As the plan unfolds, Apok travels through the horrors of a damaged mind and how humankind must first suffer in order to survive. The plan to spread the madness that drives men to do evil things; his mission to wage war on everyone and everything. For his mantra is ‘take no prisoners, dispense death to all and spare no one!’ Apok is the dawn of Hell on Earth …

Author: Dragon Bone Publishing

Aphotic: Devoid of light. A depth beyond comprehension.

Everything that stands in the light also has a side that stands in the darkness.

Love is no exception.

Love is often depicted as light, joyful, fun, exciting, carefree … But there is also a darker side to love—a deeper, frightening, desperate, tragic side.

Dare to dive deep into this raw, emotional collection of short stories, prose, and poetry, which strives to expose the lightless side of tragedy, heartbreak, desperation, and love.

From the love of gods and goddesses to mortals who fell in love with death, to the love forbidden between commoners. From pure sweet love gone astray to villains who loved the hero.

An actress no longer acting she’s in love, a phoenix whose lover gives everything to be with her reborn, a villain who burned the world so his love could be the hero, two immortals who give up everything to live and love, a lonely queen whose touch turns loved ones to ice, a romantic moment re-lived and lost in gold pain. Promises made and promises broken.

Some fall in love and some fall out.

After all … All’s fair in aphotic love.
