At the hub of newest Dark Hunter novel is Fang Kattalakis, brother of two powerful members of the Omegrion (the council that leads the Were-Hunters).

Don’t miss this suspenseful new novel by this New York Times bestselling author, releasing August 4.

Smash Cut by Sandra Brown

The Queen of romantic thrillers is back with more heart-pounding suspense. Serial killer Chreighton Wheeler is obsessed with re-enacting scenes from films. When Creighton’s uncle is shot dead in a robbery, gallery owner Julie Rutledge is convinced that Creighton is behind it. A rash of crime follows as Julie and criminal lawyer Derek Mitchell join forces to catch Creighton. Brown delivers another fast-paced read, available August 11.

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

Wildly popular author of “The Other Boleyn Girl” begins a new series, telling the story of Elizabeth Woodville Grey, who assisted in making the War of the Roses take root. As a 27-year old widow, her marriage to 22-year old King Edward IV is not only shocking, but it shifts loyalties: Elizabeth’s family becomes Edward’s strongest supporters while Edward’s chief advisor becomes the epicenter of a plot to overthrow the King. Gregory delivers another entertaining and entirely plausible historical novel, set to release on August 18.

A Big Little Life by Dean Koontz

One of the Kings of horror and suspense shocks readers yet again with his new book- but not in the way you’d think. What’s surprising about this book is that it’s not a horror. There’s no evil priest, crazed psychopath, or unimaginable monster in this new release. Instead, it’s a humorous, touching, from-the-heart story about Koontz’s dog, Trixie. He does insinuate that Trixie is special in an otherworldly sense, but what pet owner wouldn’t? This debut nonfiction novel from Koontz is not to be missed, and is available on August 25.
