Ragman (2023)
JG Faherty
"If ever there was a cautionary tale about not robbing temples, this is it. The spiritual rage of ancient Egypt catches up with modern America in a complex, dazzling, bloodthirsty epic of demonic revenge. Hold on to your heads!"

Date With Death (2019)
(Eve Clay, book 5)
Mark Roberts
"Dark. gripping, and believable."

Glass Town (2017)
Steven Savile
"Steven Savile has the gift of making the unbelievable completely believable, and leading you willingly into an illusory world that you can touch, feel and smell... but can you trust?"
