The Books Valley

It was supposed to be a quiet holiday on the south coast of England, away from the chaos of a London buzzing about the biggest murder trial in decades. But for Detective Inspector Michael Dachemont, nicknamed “Dashing Dachemont” by a dreamy-eyed reporter, it turns out to be anything but quiet when, just after meeting a lovely young woman on the beach, he is called in to investigate an apparent robbery attempt. What at first appears to be a minor incident soon becomes much more. The twists and turns in the case, along with the assortment of eccentrics he encounters as he tries to separate fact from fiction, prove challenging and require him to muster all his Yard training as well as all his patience and self-control. In the end, not only does he sort out the maze of intrigue but Inspector Dachemont finds himself caught in another and decidedly more agreeable web.

For one superhero, the good guys can be deadlier than the bad guys.

If you like the gritty, understated superheroes in Netflix’s Jessica Jones and the raw urban fantasy of Veronica Roth, you’ll get sucked into Emerald Dodge’s Battlecry!

Jillian Johnson, known as the mighty Battlecry, was born into a superhero cult. She craves a life of freedom, far away from her violent and abusive team leader, Patrick. With no education, no money, and no future to speak of, she’s stuck in the dangerous life…until she meets the mysterious and compelling Benjamin, a civilian with superpowers. When Patrick confronts her, she fights back–and then runs for her life. One by one, her ex-teammates join her until a new team has formed.

But Patrick will not let his upstart teammates get away so easily. Humiliated and hellbent on vengeance, he waits for his chance to strike back and kill the new team, and he is happy to murder superheroes and civilians alike. On top of that, Benjamin has joined Jillian and her comrades, angering his own lethal family. Jillian’s enemies begin to close in from all sides.

Desperate and in hiding, Jillian must shed everything she thinks she knows about what it means to lead. Can she rise up to the challenge of defeating Patrick? Can she save Benjamin from his family? Or will she die like every other superhero who’s dared to challenge the cult?

The only eyewitness to a murder can’t remember a thing.

Rachel Sommers and her two best friends don’t believe anything will happen when they sneak onto a haunted shipwreck in the middle of the night. Why would they? Ghosts don’t actually exist… right?

But Rachel and her friends disturb something that night. Something demonic. Something that lured Rachel to the ship. And now one of her friends is dead, the other is missing, and Rachel’s memory of the night is gone. There’s only one thing she knows for sure: whatever killed her friend has followed her home.
