Winner of the Chicago Review of Books Fiction Award A Good Morning America Book of the Month Selection • A Popsugar Must-Read Book of the Month • A Buzzfeed Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A The Millions Most Anticipated Book of the Year “Provocative…. [An] assured, beautifully written book.” —Sarah Lyall, New York Times In this provocative meditation on new motherhood—Shirley Jackson meets The Awakening—a postpartum woman’s psychological unraveling becomes intertwined with the ghostly appearance of children’s book writer Margaret Wise Brown. There’s a madwoman upstairs, and only Megan Weiler can see her. Ravaged and sore from giving birth to her first child, Megan is mostly raising her newborn alone while her husband travels for work. Physically exhausted and mentally drained, she’s also wracked with guilt over her unfinished dissertation—a thesis on mid-century children’s literature. Enter a new upstairs neighbor: the ghost of quixotic children’s book writer Margaret Wise Brown—author of the beloved classic Goodnight Moon—whose existence no one else will acknowledge. It seems Margaret has unfinished business with her former lover, the once-famous socialite and actress Michael Strange, and is determined to draw Megan into the fray. As Michael joins the haunting, Megan finds herself caught in the wake of a supernatural power struggle—and until she can find a way to quiet these spirits, she and her newborn daughter are in terrible danger. Using Megan’s postpartum haunting as a powerful metaphor for a woman’s fraught relationship with her body and mind, Julia Fine once again delivers an imaginative and “barely restrained, careful musing on female desire, loneliness, and hereditary inheritances” (Washington Post).

Book Description
The Dark Crescent Sisterhood #5 As Sybils—protector warrior “witches”—they control the Elements...But passion is a force that no one can contain. It’s about to get very hot in here... After her flame powers were severely weakened during a battle against powerful forces, Camille Fitzgerald is rise from the ashes. The fire Sybil joins the ranks of a new group of warrior witches, hoping to regain her warrior spirit and with any luck, her all-but-extinguished pyrotechnic skills. But a cannibal demon army looms, threatening to destroy the peace that she sacrificed so much to achieve. On top of that, Camille is driven to distraction with her red-hot lust for John Cole—the new undercover officer for New York’s Occult Crimes Unit is a deadly combination of demon and U.S. Special Forces agent, with a smile that’s as lethal as his talents and more than dangerous to Camille’s heart. John knows all too well he can’t be trusted; he can’t even trust himself, especially since his warrior soul made its new home in the body of the Sybils’ deadliest enemy whose essence still lingers. But when the demon inside flexes its muscles, it’s Camille’s burning kisses that keep him human. For now. If he can conquer in his dark side, he might have the chance not only to save himself, but put a stop to the an army of satanic hellboys ready to destroy the world—and then generate some real heat with Camille. “The middle chapter of Windsor’s back-to-back series takes her protagonists on a harrowing journey. Her characters are never in for an easy ride, as she places both physical and emotional challenges in their path. The complexity of the world of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood is a big reason why Windsor’s books are so intriguing and hard to put down. One of the genre’s consistently excellent players!” -RT Book Review

Book Description
SALVORS - UNCUT AND UNFINISHED. The story covers three time frames, 1942 the middle of the Second World War, the ensuing years, and finally the present day. It tells of how the lives of several men, their families and friends are linked in a deadly mystery involving the loss of life, a large quantity of uncut diamonds and gold bullion, and how they become drawn into another far greater loss. In 1942 a British unarmed Liberator aircraft leaves the Belgian Congo carrying not only uncut diamonds and gold but five high ranking United States Army officers on a secret visit to Britain. They had joined the aircraft in Egypt but towards the end of its journey the aircraft is shot down by two spitfires who mistake it for an enemy plane, all on board are lost, no efforts were made to recover the aircraft or its contents, the relatives of those on board were informed their loved ones were lost in action, this is based on a true event. After the loss is known a senior member of the Ministry of Mines in the Congo, removes all records of the transaction from the files. A family member of one of the US officers promises the widow that one day he would make sure her husband's remains will be returned to the USA for burial. He dies before he can achieve this so his son undertakes to carry out the task, as his chosen profession is that of Marine Engineer he feels qualified to achieve this. It is not until many years later he can obtain any information about his Grandfather's death, there is a limit to what the records show in the US archives, so he plans a trip to England to meet an old friend from Cambridge to gather more details. Two other parties develop a great interest in the aircraft and contents, they show they will go to any lengths necessary to achieve their objectives. These individuals clash sometimes violently, involving innocent members of the families and their friends in this battle for what they hold dearest, family or greed. The international fight attracts the interest of many parties involved in the initial movement of the aircraft and its contents, they want part of the action this leaves a trail of dead and injured bodies. The attempts to find and salvage the remains of the aircraft and its contents is one of immense hardship, fighting the physical elements above the water, and the never ending struggle to get the sea to give up it's secrets, the lives of those involved will never be the same again.
