Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

One day later, two men crawled out of the killing ground. Only to bring hell with them... WHERE THE CHILL WAITS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2021 Foreword INDIES Award Winner in Romance and Finalist in Fantasy A 2022 Benjamin Franklin Award Runner-Up in Best New Voice: Fiction “The heat and romance of the desert, the push and the pull of Emel’s desperation, and the magic and humanity of a caustic jinni make Daughter of the Salt King an irresistible ride.” —Amy Harmon, New York Times bestselling author “This riveting debut novel will leave readers eagerly awaiting Thornton’s future works.” —Booklist A girl of the desert and a jinni born long ago by the sea, both enslaved to the Salt King—but with this capricious magic, only one can be set free. As a daughter of the Salt King, Emel ought to be among the most powerful women in the desert. Instead, she and her sisters have less freedom than even her father's slaves . . . for the Salt King uses his own daughters to seduce visiting noblemen into becoming powerful allies by marriage. Escape from her father’s court seems impossible, and Emel dreams of a life where she can choose her fate. When members of a secret rebellion attack, Emel stumbles upon an alluring escape route: her father’s best-kept secret—a wish-granting jinni, Saalim. But in the land of the Salt King, wishes are never what they seem. Saalim’s magic is volatile. Emel could lose everything with a wish for her freedom as the rebellion intensifies around her. She soon finds herself playing a dangerous game that pits dreams against responsibility and love against the promise of freedom. As she finds herself drawn to the jinni for more than his magic, captivated by both him and the world he shows her outside her desert village, she has to decide if freedom is worth the loss of her family, her home and Saalim, the only man she’s ever loved. For readers who enjoy epic desert fantasies and forbidden romance like The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury, The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh, and Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri.

It gave me chills and I still feel it" ★★★★★ Bookish Love Affair EXCERPT Evidence no. 4: Entry from the blog My Otha Life by Otha Cochran [...] I suddenly realized just how cold the house was, and I noticed the window being ajar, the curtain swaying in the draft. I quickly closed it and felt the radiator: completely cold. I had no idea why Grandpa would have shut off the heat and opened the window. Upstairs I could hear Hugh still calling and opening and closing doors, obviously looking for Grandpa. My sense of dread increased still further, and I was just about to turn around and go upstairs when my eye caught something through the French door into the dining room. It was dark in there, too, but the windows were visible as bright rectangles, and in front of one of them stood a tall, gangly figure. It kind of looked like Grandpa, except I didn''t remember him being that thin. I went and opened the door, but the man by the window didn''t move as I entered the room. I could tell he had his back to me, as though he had gone to look out the window and then fallen into a trance. "Grandpa?" I asked low, not wanting to scare him. No reaction. Suddenly, I got a very strange feeling that the man wasn''t my Grandpa. I know it''s totally silly-I mean, who else could it be? I squinted my eyes in an effort to see his features more clearly, and I realized to my astonishment he was naked except for a pair of white undies. I''m not kidding. I know I should have felt embarrassed, but for some reason it just made me even more uneasy. Something was definitely not right. "Grandpa?" I said, louder. Still, the man didn''t stir. I noticed the faint whisper of the wind blowing through the room, and I noticed the windows in here were also standing ajar. Finally, it dawned on me to turn on the lights. I can''t believe I didn''t think of it earlier, but the situation was just so unreal and I was really confused and scared. I found the switch and flicked it. At long last, the man by the window reacted and started turning slowly around. I gaped at him. It was my Grandpa all right, but I almost didn''t recognize him. His cheeks were hollow, his lips thin and dry, the skin around his eyes was very dark, the eyes themselves were really haunting, being way too dark, like almost black, as though the pupils had grown to blot out the white. There was something strange above his head, too, although it must have been the shadows playing a trick on me-but for a brief second, I could have sworn Grandpa had a couple of branches sticking out of the top of his skull. Yeah, I know. It sounds completely bonkers. It was all over in a blink of an eye, then Grandpa looked exactly like I remembered him-the only odd thing about him being the missing clothes. "Well, if it isn''t Otha," he said, his face lighting up. "I was just wondering when you guys would show up." [...
