Children of Wrath
by Paul Grossman
Kindle $0.50 Rating: 4.4 #ad
Willi Kraus tackles the case of the Kinderfresser, the vicious Child-Eater of Berlin. Turning the clock back two years from The Sleepwalkers, the story starts out in the fall of 1929, the last days of prosperity.
Berlin is deep in the throes of a giddy rush to forget its troubled past. But the same day the stock market crashes in New York, the dark underside of the German capital flushes to the surface in the form of a burlap sack spewed by floodwaters from the city sewer system. When Willi is called to investigate and discovers the sack is full of children’s bones with teeth marks on them–and a bible with a single phrase circled in red: children of wrath–he fears he’s run into “something darker than he’s ever known.”

The Shadowkiller
by Matthew Scott Hansen
Kindle $1.99 Rating: 4.4 #ad
Every hair on Ty’s body, the skin on his neck and arms, everything was clenched in a primeval fear stimulus response. In the thick of the woods not ten yards away stood a creature, manlike, apelike . . . some sort of hairy humanoid, like a gorilla standing upright on long legs. Motionless, it stared at Ty, and Ty froze dead in his tracks.
Jesus Christ, this is Bigfoot.
BIGFOOT IS ANGRY.
17 Blade
by Jesse Storm
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 5.0 #ad
Slade “The Blade” Cassidy has only one aim in life – revenge.
At 17, he’s already a weapon, forged not by choice but by tragedy. Once a sweet boy, now a relentless young man, Blade rides to avenge his murdered family.
His sister, Millie, survived the brutal assault that claimed their home, but trauma has stolen her voice, leaving Blade with a vow to make their enemies pay.
Riding with him is Dakota Hawthorne, half-white, half-Chinese, and every bit his equal. Raised alongside Blade and also 17 years old, she can outshoot men twice her age, and she, too, lost her parents during the unprovoked attack.
