Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Pillagers' Guide to Arctic Pianos by Kendra Langford Shaw. Deep in the remote reaches of the Arctic Territory, the Spahr family makes its home on a secluded fjord, reachable only by kayak or float plane, surrounded by a landscape that is transforming as glaciers recede and the sea creeps higher. They live in Jubilation House, a fitting name for a clan defined by wild spirits and generous hearts, descended from the original homesteaders who once attempted, against all logic, to tame the Glacial Front. Their off‑grid life in a refurbished fisherman’s shack is sustained by selling pickled octopus and sea-grown goods, but each passing day makes survival feel more uncertain.
Everything changes when a neighbor hauls up a centuries-old piano, a relic from the early homesteading era, when settlers were required to drag a six-hundred‑pound instrument across the ice as a symbol of cultured society; most never made it. This exquisitely carved piano, perfectly preserved in the Arctic depths, suddenly becomes a priceless collector’s item. The discovery ignites a frenzy across the territory: piano hunting. The Spahrs dive headfirst into the craze, hopeful for a financial lifeline, but soon realize that the pursuit of salvation comes at a steep cost.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Pawn by T.K. Leigh. He believed I was nothing more than a pawn in his game, but even pawns can rise to become queens. He kidnapped me, lied to me, and betrayed me. Now Henry Fontaine insists he’s the only one who can keep me alive. Maybe he’s right, but survival always demands a price. Trusting the man who once held me captive feels like stepping back into a cage I swore I’d never return to. I should walk away. I should run. Yet every time I try, something pulls me back to him—the monster in the shadows with a touch that feels like damnation and eyes that promise salvation. He claims he wants to protect me, that he’d burn the world down before letting anyone hurt me. But men like Henry always have another lie, another secret, another move waiting on the board. Can I trust him enough to believe he’s finally telling the truth, or am I still just a pawn in his game of revenge?

The discovery threatens a $ 200 billion-a-year industry, and the forces protecting that profit will stop at nothing to keep the cure buried. As government operatives, corrupt corporations, and professional killers close in, Jodi finds herself hunted in a battle where the stakes extend far beyond her own survival.
Blending tension, danger, and emotional intensity, the story drags you deeper with every chapter, daring you to keep turning the pages.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Children of the Savage City by Elizabeth Heider. In a place where secrets are currency, Naples is always hungry. A quiet evening mass at the historic Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo erupts into horror when a young au pair is murdered in one of the secluded chapels. The only witness, the daughter of the US Ambassador, refuses to speak to anyone except Nikki Serafino.
Still reeling from betrayal in her last major case, Nikki has pulled back from the sharp-edged vigilance that once defined her role as liaison between Italian police and the US military. She keeps her head down, works her shifts, looks after her aging family, teaches self‑defense, and avoids getting pulled into anything messy. But this case refuses to let her stay invisible, dragging her into a maze of deception that forces old wounds and buried loyalties to the surface.
As Nikki and her friend, Naples officer Valerio Alfieri, dig deeper, they uncover a hidden architecture of power designed to shield the guilty and bury the truth. Both carry debts that could destroy them, and the question becomes whether they can withstand the pull of a corruption that consumes everything in its path.
Set amid the tumult of modern Naples, the city of Gomorrah and My Brilliant Friend, where beauty and rot coexist on the same narrow streets, Nikki and Valerio must navigate a world where even the most principled are forced to reckon with what survival truly costs.
