The Dead Remember

Horror

5.0

Six months ago, the world died. The dead simply refused to stay dead. Nyra Kane has survived by following one rule: never trust the infected, never get attached, and never stop moving. In the ruined city of Greyhaven, hesitation means death. Then she finds a message that changes everything. BLACKRIDGE. SUBJECT D-17. ALIVE. D-17 is the identification code her younger brother, Kael, wore the last time she saw him-trapped behind a sealed evacuation gate while Nyra escaped without him. She has spent six months believing he is dead. Now she has a reason to go back. But the infected are changing. Some repeat words from their former lives. Others recognize familiar faces, avoid old traps, and move as if something unseen is guiding them. One of them even knows Nyra's name. Her search leads to Blackridge, where survivors were secretly selected for experiments, and to Project REMEMBER, a classified program that was supposed to preserve human memory after death. The deeper Nyra digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. A guilty scientist holds the answers. Her former best friend hides a betrayal. And Commander Seraphine Voss is willing to sacrifice anyone to turn the infected into weapons. Somewhere beyond the ruins, Kael may still be alive-but whatever the infection has made of him, he may no longer be the brother Nyra remembers. To save him, Nyra must uncover what caused the outbreak before the dead close in on the last surviving settlements. Because the infection doesn't just bring the dead back. It makes them remember

MY FAMILY SOLD ME SO I BUILT AN EMPIRE

Mafia

5.0

They sold her for a debt. They created a queen. Isabella Moretti was born into a wealthy Italian family, raised to believe that blood was thicker than anything in the world. She was wrong. On the night of her twenty-second birthday, Isabella discovers that her own father has sold her to Dante De Luca-the ruthless mafia king feared by every powerful family in Italy. The price of her freedom? A debt her family cannot repay. A secret she doesn't know exists. And a lifetime under the control of a man who despises everything her surname represents. Dante De Luca doesn't believe in love. He believes in power, loyalty and making his enemies suffer. Isabella is supposed to be nothing more than a pawn in his revenge against her family. But she refuses to behave like one. Behind her innocent eyes is a mind capable of learning his world, anticipating his moves and turning his greatest allies against him. The more Dante tries to control her, the more dangerous she becomes. Their hatred turns into an obsession neither of them is willing to admit. Every stolen glance feels like a betrayal. Every moment of trust could be a trap. But Isabella has bigger plans than surviving Dante De Luca. She will uncover the secret her family buried, destroy the people who sold her and build an empire so powerful that nobody will ever dare to own her again. Even Dante. Especially Dante. Because when the truth finally comes out, the mafia king may discover that the woman he bought is the one person capable of bringing him to his knees. They sold her as a daughter. They feared her as an enemy. They will remember her as a queen. In a world where love is weakness and betrayal is currency, becoming ruthless may be the only way to survive.
