Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Murder Bimbo by Rebecca Novack, a razor-sharp, darkly funny thriller that flips the script on power, identity, and survival.

Through a series of frantic messages sent from a hidden location, MB unravels the bizarre story of her recruitment by a shadowy group of men with code names and questionable motives. As she lays out her case, one thing becomes clear: Meat Neck wasn’t just dangerous; he was a symptom of something much worse. And MB might be the only one willing to do something about it.

Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Crescent Kingdom by Tessa Hale. A story where survival means secrecy, and trust is the most dangerous game of all. I’ve spent my life in the shadows, always running, always hiding. Trained to disappear, conditioned to keep my secrets buried deep. What I can do, who I really am, can never be known. Not if I want to stay alive.
But everything changes when I cross paths with them. A notorious wolf pack with a reputation for vengeance and a history soaked in blood. The fighter who shields me. The Brit who charms me. The hacker who watches from the sidelines. The mercenary who never speaks. The assassin who never forgives. They see through the walls I’ve built, and somehow, they don’t turn away.
They offer me something I’ve never had: safety. A place to rest. A chance to belong. Even if the cost is everything, I’ve tried to protect.
