Amanda Cadabra and The Twilight Toxin - A cozy, clever mystery with heart

Amanda Cadabra and The Twilight Toxin blends cozy mystery, British urban fantasy, and a dash of adventure into a story filled with secrets, magic, and slow‑burn emotional tension. As a newcomer to Holly Bell’s long‑running series, I found myself drawn in by the characters, the Cornish atmosphere, and the clever, unpredictable plot. About the Book: Amanda Cadabra and The Twilight Toxin When a body is discovered under troubling circumstances, covert witch Amanda Cadabra and her prickly, loyal feline familiar are pulled back to the Cornish land of her birth. Detective Inspector Thomas Trelawney soon joins her, determined to solve the case by ordinary means—though nothing about this mystery is ordinary. An unknown weapon, a killer hiding in plain sight, and a dangerous magical barrier force Amanda and Trelawney into an unexpected partnership… one that requires them to pose as something far more intimate than colleagues. As ancient secrets surface and a perilous gathering draws near,...

Deadly Ruse: A World War II Mystery - Emotionally gripping and clever

Deadly Ruse: A World War II Mystery (Deadly Series) by Kate Parker pulled me in from the first chapter and never let go.

Severance - Chilling dystopian thriller where emotions are regulated

Every so often, a dystopian novel comes along that feels unsettlingly plausible, not because it mirrors our world, but because the author builds a future so meticulously that you can almost hear its machinery humming beneath the surface. Severance is one of those stories. With echoes of 1984 and The Giver , Steven Nimocks delivers a chilling, immersive thriller about control, complicity, and the fragile spark of humanity that refuses to be extinguished. About the Book In the perfect city, every emotion is a crime waiting to happen. The year is 2747, and the Metroplex runs on silence — a society where neural implants suppress emotions before they fully form. Detective Elias Reynor has been the model officer for nine years, until a routine call in Sector 7 exposes cracks in the system he has devoted his life to upholding. As he uncovers evidence of emotional manipulation and high‑level corruption, Elias must confront the truth: the real threat isn’t rebellion. It’s the system...
