It's that time of the year, so here's some beach reads for the more darkly-inclined and somewhat unhinged readers.
BENEATH BLACK SAILS
Clare Sager
Pirates, magic, fae and romance, oh my! The first in a fast-paced series perfect for seaside reading.
THE SEAS
Samantha Hunt
A literary speculative fiction novel of unrequited love that blurs the lines between hope and delusion, reality and fairytale, sanity and madness. Probably best for misty, windswept cliffs overlooking a gray sea, but do whatever you want.
FIVE BROKEN BLADES
Mai Corland
A thrilling, multiple-POV fantasy heist to dispose of a despot-king with turns of twists and turns. Pick up this one if you'd like something fun and action-packed.
LOVE BITES
Katrina N. Lewis
Feeling a reignited interest in vampires these days? You're not alone! Allow Lewis, a local author, to pull you into a dark urban fantasy tale of political marriage, enemies-to-lovers, and lots of intrigue.
