The Neighborhood by Matthew Betley
For most of the citizens of Hidden Refuge, it’s an ordinary Friday night in an ordinary American town. But when men claiming to be police officers show up in the middle of the night, ordering them to evacuate for their own safety, it’s only the beginning of a long, dark night that will prove to be anything but ordinary. Because Hidden Refuge contains another secret—Zack Chambers. And while Zack dearly hoped that he’d never again need to use the deadly skills he’d acquired in his former life, when push comes to shove, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect himself and his neighbors. Even if it means taking on a small army of trained killers with only his wits and a ragtag group of allies.

Steel Wolf by Eve Langlais
This divorcee has always loved collecting random stuff, so owning a junkyard is a dream come true—until the robbery. My unlikely rescuer? An old motorcycle. With my steel wolf between my thighs, I’m taking back the night. And taking my revenge on the scum who robbed and beat me. Unfortunately, my antics draw the attention of the detective currently investigating a string of murders. Turns out, there’s more to the killings than meets the eye. Apparently, it isn’t just cars that sometimes come to life. Impossible as it seems, my ride appears to have bloodthirsty tendencies. But is it evil or trying to right a wrong? I’d better figure it out—and soon—or I might be its next victim.
What People are Saying: This latest from Eve Langlais is a dark and sultry thrill ride.
