Chloroform Wars by Dan Uselton

Chloroform Wars: They Didn’t Cheer for Her. They Cheered for the Spectacle by Dan Uselton The camera never blinks. The truth never airs. In a future where traditional values are law and dissent is quietly erased, televised obedience is the last form of control. The word feminism has vanished. No one speaks of equality anymore—only “harmony.” Each week, girls and boys battle live on national TV, reenacting old rivalries for a hungry audience. But when childhood best friends are pitted against each other, the spectacle threatens to unravel. Beneath the flash of lights and roar of the crowd, real resistance begins. For Ryker Vale, the show was just a way out. For Rhea, it’s a trap—and a platform. Together, they might turn the network’s cruelty into its own undoing. A provocative dystopian debut for fans of Black Mirror and The Hunger Games, Chloroform Wars is a razor-sharp look at gender, power, and performance. amazon.com/dp/B0FBLQP1LG

Die, Blossom, Bloom by Steve Boseley

“ Even though the story starts with a killing, its true meaning only gradually appears in a masterful narration that soon turns surprisingly dark. Too dark, perhaps, for some readers, as this is not a novella for the squeamish. The pace picks up and soon readers find themselves in the uncomfortable position of rooting not for the "good" guys but for the murderer. ” – N.R. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣ 5 stars “Ted finds himself deeply suffering after the loss of his wife. I must say I felt quite sorry for him. Boseley has got in some quite touching details. But this is a horror story, so be prepared .” – Raymond Mathiesen “ A gripping look at the flowery passions and life in an idyllic English village that seems like it's straight out of Midsomer Murders. When I read the first few chapters, I had to look up Boseley - and specifically his age, as his portrayal of the elderly hero's daily struggles were so convincing that I felt certain Boseley himself would be in his 70s, or even older. Eve...

The Priest of Santa Maria by Alexandra Kleanthous

“ THE PRIEST OF SANTA MARIA simply is an amazing debut novel. The story itself is fascinating. Christiano is a freshly minted priest assigned to an Italian convent. Just days in, the young priest gets involved in protecting the mysterious & beautiful Angelica from evil elements of the Vatican hierarchy working in tandem with Italian mafioso.

Alas, in the opening sequence, a ragtag band of 18 terrorists enters the vice-presidential mansion through the air conditioning ducts.
