Earthcore Book 5: Toxicity - Grace Bridges
Regular price $22.00 NZDRegular priceUnit price / perYou’ve got magic, but the spring water that bestows it is locked away.
In someone’s backyard. At an expensive spa. Or miles out of town and you don’t have a car. There are ways to fix that…
Nancy Armstrong reckons those Earthcore folks are just do-gooders whose supernatural springs got handed to them on a silver platter. She’ll do whatever it takes to top up her magic, even if it gets her little sister Colette into trouble.
Dazza Leonard wants to join the Earthcore, but Nancy still wields a terrible leverage over him. And now there are others who fall into her tangled web: a shady businessman and his reluctant son, a pair of prankster twins, a construction worker and an unhinged activist.
Nancy doesn’t care who gets dragged into her schemes, as long as their powers are useful. But some of the springs are strangely toxic, and the dangers aren’t what anybody imagined.

The Clockmaker's Daughter - Kate Morton
Regular price $10.00 NZDRegular priceUnit price / perMy real name, no one remembers.
The truth about that summer, no one else knows.
In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe's life is in ruins.
Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist's sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river.
Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets?
Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss. And flowing through its pages like a river, is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history, but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker's daughter.Condition: Pre-loved, Good

GREETINGS. My name is Don Tillman. I am forty-one years old. I have been married to Rosie Jarman, world's most perfect woman, for ten months and ten days.
Marriage added significant complexity to my life. When we relocated to New York City, Rosie brought three maximum-size suitcases. We abandoned the Standardised Meal System and agreed that sex should not be scheduled in advance.
Then Rosie told me we had 'something to celebrate', and I was faced with a challenge even greater than finding a partner.
I have attempted to follow traditional protocols and have sourced advice from all six of my friends, plus a therapist and the internet.
The result has been a web of deceit. I am now in danger of prosecution, deportation and professional disgrace.
And of losing Rosie forever.Series: Don Tillman, #2

Sievert & Gray, Detectors - Duncan P. Pacey
Regular price $30.00 NZDRegular priceUnit price / perDoes crime still exist after the end of the world? And, if it does ... how much can you get away with charging people to solve it?
Introducing "Sievert and Gray, Detectors", a standalone post-apocalyptic crime comedy like no other.
"But you ... you just saw too much. This is how it has to be. Now stay still, eh? This is gonna take a few chops."
And that's how John Doe was murdered.
* * *
In the Orcklands, a sprawling post-apocalyptic nightmare of a city, what is crime? Who gets to decide?
Sievert and Gray - the Orcklands' finest detectors - think they have the answers. At least ... enough to charge clients for their services, anyway.
When a distraught Jane Doe tells them her brother has mysteriously vanished, it's their job to figure out why - and who murdered him. But it won't be easy. Politics is afoot, and when the Orcklands' warring leaders start scheming, things get bloody. Can Sievert and Gray find John Doe and bring his killer to justice (whatever that means) before the bullets start flying?
...probably not. But they'll damn well shoot back if they have to.
"Sievert & Gray, Detectors" is the second standalone novel set in Duncan P. Pacey's Waste series. It's a detective comedy with a splash of difference - although that splash is a bit red and might be hard to wash out.Series: The Waste Stories, #2
