As she watches him, and as the narrative shifts between Ted, Olivia, and Dee, the reader is pulled into a story where nothing is stable and no account can be trusted.\n\nCatriona Ward's genre-bending psychological horror is a masterclass in misdirection — unbearably tense, deeply unsettling, and built around a structure that reveals itself only piece by piece.

The second Twisted book trades the first's darkness for a forbidden royal-bodyguard slow burn, following one of the four friends at the heart of the series as she fights for a sliver of freedom and the one person she is forbidden to want.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7zzbajkqwj6nbr3tjmj7f.jpg","LEQcn{xuj[%M~qof%Mj[00j[M{WB",[905],{"id":906,"slug":907,"name":908},"01kjq6ypj37jr3wqjvvqy8ckx3","ana-huang-7jgm","Ana Huang",[910,911,912],{"id":99,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},{"id":346,"name":347,"slug":348,"is_fiction":20},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":20},[914],{"id":915,"slug":916,"name":917,"position":152,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq6yppym8zg187dhdjrt9tj","twisted-goth","Twisted",{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":919,"themes":921,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[191,104,920],"emotional",[922,923],"forbidden-love","slow-burn",{"id":925,"slug":926,"title":927,"description":928,"primary_cover_url":929,"cover_blurhash":930,"first_publish_year":229,"community_rating_avg":204,"community_rating_count":286,"page_count":931,"authors":932,"genres":934,"series":945,"enrichment":950},"01kjq7d15e40knmjkbqy5eps3g","haunting-adeline-lf7c","Haunting Adeline","When author Adeline Reilly inherits Parsons Manor, her late great-grandmother's isolated estate in Washington, she moves in hoping for quiet and inspiration. Instead she finds a house full of secrets — a long-unsolved family disappearance — and the unsettling sense that she is never truly alone. 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. The story concludes in Hunting Adeline.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7d16vpnbx2zmyg0xv52j2.jpg","L37UC$RjDibb~p4nM{_3_3-pD%WB",624,[933],{"id":341,"slug":342,"name":343},[935,939,940,941,942,943,944],{"id":936,"name":937,"slug":938,"is_fiction":20},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":99,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},{"id":358,"name":359,"slug":360,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":180,"name":181,"slug":182,"is_fiction":20},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":20},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":20},[946],{"id":947,"slug":948,"name":949,"position":493,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrxf1h74zby0ezmevyxnkx3","cat-and-mouse-glm4","Cat and Mouse",{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":951,"themes":952,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[160,104],[372],{"id":954,"slug":955,"title":956,"description":957,"primary_cover_url":958,"cover_blurhash":959,"first_publish_year":172,"community_rating_avg":472,"community_rating_count":231,"page_count":312,"authors":960,"genres":965,"series":978,"enrichment":983},"01kjvgdx5512w90t9zdmgxwmbx","scarred-fzkq","Scarred","Prince Tristan Faasa was never meant to rule. Cast in the shadow of his older brother, Michael, the cruel new king of Gloria Terra, Tristan bides his time and plots to take the crown he believes he deserves. His scheme runs into an obstacle he never anticipated: Lady Sara Beatreaux, Michael's betrothed — a woman with her own hidden agenda to bring the whole Faasa line to ruin.\n\nThrown together at court, Tristan and Sara circle each other with suspicion and contempt, each certain the other is a threat. But contempt curdles into something hotter and far more dangerous, and as their loyalties and desires collide, both must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice for revenge — and for each other.\n\nScarred is the second book in Emily McIntire's bestselling Never After series, a dark, steamy reimagining that gives fairy-tale and classic villains their own twisted romances. This installment takes its cues from The Lion King.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjvgdx748t23r4qhgdkmhyt7.jpg","L4S~x5~q~q~q_3j[xuj[~qWBD%of",[961],{"id":962,"slug":963,"name":964},"01kjsvg4hj3ppm4af5b8cfzh6p","emily-mcintire-dpgt","Emily McIntire",[966,970,974,975,976,977],{"id":967,"name":968,"slug":969,"is_fiction":20},20,"High Fantasy","high-fantasy",{"id":971,"name":972,"slug":973,"is_fiction":20},28,"Dystopian","dystopian",{"id":99,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},{"id":358,"name":359,"slug":360,"is_fiction":20},{"id":294,"name":295,"slug":296,"is_fiction":20},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":20},[979],{"id":980,"slug":981,"name":982,"position":152,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kn626x1285qps1aaf2w2dter","never-after-5d1g","Never After",{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":984,"themes":985,"setting_period":7,"summary":988,"content_warnings":7},[160,369,104,191,370],[986,372,987],"enemies-to-lovers","court-intrigue","A dark royal retelling of The Lion King.

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,[999],{"id":341,"slug":342,"name":343},[1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006],{"id":358,"name":359,"slug":360,"is_fiction":20},{"id":99,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},{"id":346,"name":347,"slug":348,"is_fiction":20},{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":20},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},[1008],{"id":947,"slug":948,"name":949,"position":152,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":1010,"themes":1011,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[160,104],[194],{"id":1013,"slug":1014,"title":1015,"description":1016,"primary_cover_url":1017,"cover_blurhash":1018,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":1019,"community_rating_count":231,"page_count":312,"authors":1020,"genres":1025,"series":1033,"enrichment":1038},"01kjq6vw6mv7cyphmnnv4yz4j4","lights-out-iey2","Lights Out","Aly Cappellucci sees the worst of humanity every shift.

When a reckless late-night comment invites him to make her fantasies real, she never expects him to say yes.\n\nJosh Hammond has spent his life hiding: behind a mask, behind a screen, behind the wall he built between himself and the father whose face he shares. Aly is the first person to see him and not flinch. What begins as a dangerous game between two strangers becomes something neither can walk away from. But Aly has drawn the attention of someone far more dangerous than the man in the mask, and the fantasy is about to turn deadly real.\n\nNavessa Allen's viral dark romance is a twisted, darkly funny, and unapologetically explicit story about obsession, control, and the thin line between fear and desire. The first book in the Into Darkness series pairs a heroine with a taste for the macabre and an antihero determined to protect what's his, whatever it takes.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq6vwawtec9y9eq6abxya9h.jpg","L7Eo_Pof00WB%MWB~qj[%Ma|-;xu","4.14",[1021],{"id":1022,"slug":1023,"name":1024},"01kjq6vw9tzh6c3fpaq2rj26e9","navessa-allen-cvmg","Navessa Allen",[1026,1027,1028,1029,1030,1031,1032],{"id":346,"name":347,"slug":348,"is_fiction":20},{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":20},{"id":99,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},{"id":180,"name":181,"slug":182,"is_fiction":20},{"id":358,"name":359,"slug":360,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":20},[1034],{"id":1035,"slug":1036,"name":1037,"position":493,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01knrdcgazr38jhn830ecxztqb","into-darkness-oi1c","Into Darkness",{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":1039,"themes":1040,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[160,104],[372],{"id":1042,"slug":1043,"title":1044,"description":1045,"primary_cover_url":1046,"cover_blurhash":959,"first_publish_year":229,"community_rating_avg":1047,"community_rating_count":231,"page_count":417,"authors":1048,"genres":1050,"series":1057,"enrichment":1059},"01kjsvg4g92r7hp5ws8f5thka4","hooked-uvim","Hooked","James has spent years plotting revenge against Peter Michaels, the man who took everything from him.
