TBR Saturday

So we often have friends releasing new books. And we love to recommend them. Here’s our book recommendations. We try to get it done every Saturday but we are busy so we may have missed a few.

1. Six Minds Fractured. Six Secrets Buried. One Unforgettable Box Set! 🩸
   
   TRUTH BENEATH THE BLOOD By Kiera Hunt
   
   Dare to enter a world where nothing is as it seems, and every truth hides a deeper lie.
   This gripping psychological thriller collection delivers six full-length, stand-alone novels packed with twisted minds, dangerous games, and shocking revelations.
   
   Each story peels back the polished surface of sanity to reveal obsession, betrayal, and the blood-stained cost of secrets. No one is safe. Nothing is certain. And the only way out… is through the darkest corners of the human psyche.
   
   💥 This set includes:
   🔸 Shattermark – Some scars never fade.
   🔸 Mindrift – When the mind turns traitor.
   🔸 Bloodrift – Trust bleeds easy.
   🔸 Shadowrift – Shadows don’t lie—people do.
   🔸 Mindtrap – The mind is a weapon—and it’s turned on you.
   🔸 Scarline – One scar. One secret. One shot at the truth.
   
   Six psychological thrillers.
   Endless mind games.
   And one question that haunts them all:
   
   How far would you go to survive the truth?
2. Guardian of the Cursed Egg: Dragonis Academy – Year Two by Serenity Rayne                                                     Shadows twist around the ancient walls of Shadowcarve Academy—part fortress, part labyrinth of secrets. Last year, I barely survived its brutal trials, but I left with more than scars: three men, bound to me in a once-in-a-lifetime connection that feels ripped from a fairy tale. And then there’s the legendary red egg—coveted by countless students for centuries—and somehow it chose me.
   
   But survival here always comes at a price. Now, every step I take is under scrutiny, with a so-called “fan club” just waiting to watch me fail. This year’s trials promise even darker gauntlets and deadlier challenges, and the training has a reputation for breaking bones—and minds. My mates warn me that many will fall … and fall hard.
   Sometimes, I wonder if the cutthroat world of politics would’ve been safer than this savage art of war.
   
   As if I ever had a choice.

3. The Case at Barton Manor: A 1920s Murder Mystery (Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates Mysteries Book 1) by Emily Queen                                                                                                             Where the 1920’s aren’t just roaring, they’re downright deadly…
   
   All widow Rosemary Lillywhite wants is to be left alone to drown her misery in a glass of gin and tonic, but when Grace Barton knocks on the door of her dead husband’s investigative office, she faces a choice: come out of hiding or turn away someone in need of help.
   
   As Grace recounts her tale of intrigue, Rosemary discovers a shared connection with the woman that has her accepting an invitation she’d just as soon turn down.
   With her best friend, bright young thing Vera Blackburn, by her side, Rosemary trades her widow weeds for a party dress and heads to a fancy do at Barton Manor.
   
   The drinks flow freely, but there’s an undercurrent of unease until, finally, the night ends in murder – one in which Rosemary’s brother becomes the prime suspect!
   
   What’s worse, the handsome chief inspector on the case is a man she knows well: he was her husband’s best mate, and he takes a dim view of lady detectives – or perhaps just of Rosemary becoming one.
   
   What will it take for Rosemary to solve the crime before her brother hangs for a murder he didn’t commit?

   But the more she digs into the murder, it becomes clear that someone has it in for her and her business.
   
   
   
   Along with her two besties, Sawyer and Vee, they find the murderer may be closer than they thought.
