Your Mystery and Thriller Book Bargains for February 12, 2022

What would you risk to turn back the tide?

Teenager Essie Glass has nothing left, with her family killed, childhood home gone, and the climate collapsing around her. Alex Langford is a murderous elitist who’d do anything to preserve his fortune – even if that means the planet dies. When their paths collide, Essie must decide if her world is worth saving. And if she tries, will she survive?

A rocketing eco thriller that one reviewer described as reading ‘like 1984 on adrenaline.’

A murder. A mystery. A legacy to uphold.

Abbie Grimshaw’s road to recovery from a traumatic experience takes her on many journeys. On a whim, she stops at St. Michael’s church and runs straight into more danger.

This time, there’s a supernatural complication: she can see—and talk to—the Earl of Ashford. He died in 1816, but death doesn’t stop him from charging Abbie with the safety of two young orphans.

She never imagined life would send her literal demons to battle, but Abbie is a Grimm, like her mother before her. There’s a long legacy of defending the innocent at stake.

If she cannot master child-minding and demon-slaying simultaneously, her own legend will be short-lived.

If you enjoy ghostly tales with a fairy tale flavor, you’ll love this new face on the Grimm scene.
