New Books On The Shelves-April 2025

A Sneak Peek At A Few Books Releasing In April 2025

GIFTED & TALENTED – OLIVIE BLAKE

Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the corporate throne. Or so they like to think. But the long-festering rivalries in addition to their dangerous abilities might only serve to bring to light that each, in their own way, is a total fraud. Equal parts black comedy, an indictment of power and privilege and a vicious family saga.

THE AMALFI CURSE – SARAH PENNER

Powerful witchcraft, a hunt for sunken treasure, forbidden love on the high seas and a beautiful setting? What’s not to love!

HARD TOWN – ADAM PLANTINGA

After surviving a deadly prison break, ex-Detroit cop Kurt is ready for some quiet. Still working through his grief over the passing of his wife, he finds himself house-sitting for a friend with his loyal companion, Hudson, a Shepard mix. It's a simple life, but it's one that he is content to live. Then Kristin Reed shows up, begging him to find her missing husband and son. When he begrudgingly starts to look into it, he begins to notice that there is more than meets the eye in this small town. An overly qualified and equipped public safety team, a steady stream of money feeding the towns economy and a nameless man with unprecedented control over the town’s folk. Gripping and unrelentingly propulsive, this is a book not to be missed.
