What could go wrong? The Black Knights are back and better than ever! FBI agent Grace Beacham is on the run. After an operation to bring down a Russian disinformation campaign goes sideways and ends in her partner’s death, the Kremlin has sent its most notorious assassin to kill her. Not knowing who to trust inside the Bureau, Grace is forced to call on the one man who might be able to save her. The one man she hasn’t been able to forget. BKI operative Hunter Jackson walked away from Grace Beacham three years ago. And he hasn’t looked back. But when his cell phone suddenly jangles to life with Grace on the other end begging for his help, he doesn’t hesitate to ride to her rescue. Grace is no stranger to men like Hunter. Men who are devastatingly attractive and in love with their perilous professions and no-strings-attached lifestyles. As the two of them go off-grid to uncover the truth behind what happened on her last assignment, she fears her life might not be the only thing on the line.

Someone is watching her.\n\nThat someone is Zade Meadows, a masked vigilante who runs an underground operation targeting human traffickers, and who has become dangerously obsessed with Adeline. As Adeline unravels the mystery buried in the manor's history with the help of her friend Daya, the line between predator and protector blurs into something neither of them can control.\n\nHaunting Adeline is the first book in H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, a BookTok phenomenon known as much for its polarizing reputation as its popularity. It is an extremely dark, graphic romance built on a stalker premise and should be approached with its extensive content warnings firmly in mind.

Her perfect score wins her a place at Sinegard, the elite military academy in the capital, and a way out of the marriage her foster family has arranged for her. But surviving Sinegard is its own kind of war: dark-skinned, poor, and a girl, Rin is despised by her wealthier classmates and tested by cruel instructors. Under the guidance of an eccentric master, she uncovers a dangerous, half-forgotten power, the ability to call on the gods and wield fire through the lost art of shamanism. When the militaristic Federation of Mugen launches a new invasion, Rin's gift becomes a weapon her empire desperately needs, and as atrocity follows atrocity she learns exactly what that power can do, and what it will cost her to use it. Drawing on the history of twentieth-century China, this is a grim, ambitious fantasy that moves from boarding-school rivalry to the horrors of total war, asking how much of herself Rin is willing to burn away in order to win.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmz8v8jvc087kn2escd9qgbe.jpg","LHP?wA00%g_3~W^+%MM|ad9FD%xa","4.65",576,[686,690],{"id":687,"slug":688,"name":689},"01kjsvfaz4r7r5gcf7x7mqvzne","r-f-kuang-avk9","R.

To the peasants who have suffered most in the empire's endless wars, she is no longer an outcast but a goddess of vengeance, and they will follow her. At the head of a ragtag southern army, Rin sets out to take back her country from the Dragon Republic and the foreign Hesperians who back it, fighting on every front at once. But her hardest battle is within: the Phoenix whose fire she commands whispers constantly that she should burn the world and everything in it, and the line between liberator and tyrant grows thinner with every victory. The conclusion of the Poppy War trilogy fuses twentieth-century Chinese history with a world of gods and monsters, following Rin's rise from despised orphan to revolutionary leader and asking what kind of country, if any, can be built on so much blood. It is a bleak, ambitious finale about power, sacrifice, and the ordinary people crushed beneath the march of history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4ktjtpc7cae9xd14ftp9j.jpg","LFQm9k%3~qM{%fWBe;oMV^ayIUt7",2020,"4.60",400,[731],{"id":687,"slug":688,"name":689},[733,734,735,736,737,738],{"id":464,"name":624,"slug":625,"is_fiction":21},{"id":697,"name":698,"slug":699,"is_fiction":21},{"id":701,"name":702,"slug":703,"is_fiction":21},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":706,"name":707,"slug":708,"is_fiction":21},{"id":154,"name":563,"slug":564,"is_fiction":21},[740],{"id":712,"slug":713,"name":679,"position":389,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":742,"themes":743,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[180,221,84,716],[143],{"id":745,"slug":746,"title":747,"description":748,"primary_cover_url":749,"cover_blurhash":750,"first_publish_year":552,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":751,"authors":752,"genres":757,"series":772,"enrichment":777},"01kjx07p1vpj4twv7856g7j0yk","dark-age-cdsw","Dark Age","Darrow, the revolutionary who shattered the chains of oppression, is now a fugitive.

Adeline has fallen into the hands of the very organization Zade Meadows has devoted his life to destroying — a ritualistic network of powerful men who traffic women and children. While Adeline endures captivity, Zade unleashes everything he is to find her.\n\nThe novel is split in two: the first half follows the hunt and rescue; the second follows the long, difficult work of recovery, as Zade and Adeline confront what was done to her and turn toward the people responsible. Their bond is tested by trauma, vengeance, and the question of whether either of them can be whole again.\n\nThe second and final book of H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, Hunting Adeline is an extremely graphic dark romance that deals explicitly with sexual violence, trafficking, and torture. It should only be read alongside its full content warnings.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4n706yj99s0fmcy2n470a.jpg","L16ahts:}Ykq^*X9-A%gjY#SyDoz","4.71",704,[948],{"id":158,"slug":159,"name":160},[950,951,952,953,954,955],{"id":132,"name":133,"slug":134,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":21},{"id":128,"name":129,"slug":130,"is_fiction":21},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[957],{"id":174,"slug":175,"name":176,"position":293,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":959,"themes":960,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[180,84],[961],"revenge",{"id":963,"slug":964,"title":965,"description":966,"primary_cover_url":967,"cover_blurhash":968,"first_publish_year":153,"community_rating_avg":969,"community_rating_count":234,"page_count":970,"authors":971,"genres":976,"series":980,"enrichment":985},"01kjq7zzaws1jfav1t43fn27x8","twisted-games-ppjk","Twisted Games","Bridget von Ascheberg never expected to inherit a throne, but when her brother steps aside she becomes the reluctant heir to a small European kingdom, her every move dictated by duty. Rhys Larsen is the stoic ex-military bodyguard assigned to protect her, a man with an iron rule against getting emotionally involved with the people he guards. Forced into constant proximity, the princess and her protector slide from wary friction into a romance that neither royal protocol nor his professional code permits.

I must say it was fun returning to this world where danger, action, suspense, humour and romance reign.\n\nIn this instalment, we meet FBI agent Grace Beacham and BKI operative Hunter Jackson. From the very beginning, readers are made aware that Grace and Hunter knew each other in the past, but haven't been in contact with each other for the past three years. They shared a moment then, however, but uncertainties kept them apart. Now Grace faces a dangerous situation and the one person she can count on for help is Hunter. Soon both were on the run not only from the FBI but also from the Russian assassin tasked to put an end to Grace's life.\n\nBack in Black delivered as one has come to expect from Walker. Fast-paced and nail-biting, be prepared to pull an all-nighter with this one.\n\nThe portrayal of Grace and Hunter added depth to the story. Both were strong individuals who had experience pain in the past. Of the two, Hunter's past was the most heartbreaking. So despite how he felt about Grace, feelings of inadequacies plagued him.\nA few of the characters from the previous series made cameo appearances. It was lovely catching up with them and their families. Readers also get a glimpse of the couple whom will feature in the second book.\n\nThe story featured more than one villain, however not all were dealt with. The one pulling the strings, known as Bishop, is waiting in the wings to continue his path of destruction. So while Grace no longer faced a dangerous situation, the Black Knights' job is far from over.\n\nThe story delivered a fabulous blend of romance, suspense and political intrigue, making it suitable for fans of romantic suspenseThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpsawr8j4z7mygyksbt6r2s",[],"2026-07-17T00:58:58.000000Z"]
