It’s Good Friday, April 18th for everyone who celebrates. For everyone else, today is also a good Friday because we have a full list of new books being released today.
Broken Vows is the first book in the Secret Games Series by Penny Fox and Ariel Dawn. Seven years after a painful falling out, Austen Brewer and Cameron Scott find themselves face to face once more. Once inseparable, their bond was broken by secrets, guilt, and the weight of expectations—particularly Austen’s marriage, which now stands on shaky ground.
As their reunion stirs up old emotions, the line between friendship and desire begins to blur again. Cameron, still haunted by the past, knows he should walk away. Austen, trapped in a life he no longer wants, is desperate for something real. When their connection deepens into something undeniable, they’re forced to confront whether love is worth the cost of everything else.
Runts is a standalone horror novel by Daniel J. Volpe. When a blizzard forces four college friends to take shelter in the remote town of Braxton, they stumble into a nightmare. The town hides a chilling secret—mutated children, surrendered to a mysterious woman called Grammy, now grown and starving. As the snow traps them and the food runs out, the friends must fight to survive a town where the only thing more dangerous than the storm… is what’s waiting in it.
The Frederick Hill Series by Bella Pursell continues with Good To See You. Sadie Cordell finally walks away from a life that’s been breaking her, returning home to Frederick Hill with nothing but hope and a packed bag. Hayden Clark, still carrying the weight of his family’s legacy, never expected to see the woman he lost again. Their bond once promised forever, but with pain, questions, and years between them, will they find a second chance—or repeat the past?
Gathering Shadows is the first book in the Webs of Fate Series by CJ Wallingsford. A dark, addictive enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with sharp banter, scorching romance, and heart-pounding action. Set in a vivid modern world where magic weaves through myth and history, this series explores destiny, desire, and the fine line between love and war.
