The Sweetest Monster  - Mystery/Thriller novels & stories
LorInks
Everyone knows Dahlia Gray as the sweetest girl they could ever meet. She's beautiful, intelligent, soft-spoken, and always knows exactly what to say. She helps people, smiles at strangers, and never seems to get angry. To everyone around her, Dahlia is simply perfect. But perfection can be dangerous. Behind her gentle smile is a mind that doesn't work like everyone else's. Dahlia doesn't feel guilt the way she should. She doesn't fear consequences. And when someone gets in her way, she knows exactly how to make them disappear without leaving a trace. Then she meets Max Holland. Max is observant, stubborn, and strangely immune to Dahlia's charm. Instead of falling for her innocent act, he starts noticing the little things—the coldness behind her eyes, the lies that don't quite add up, and the way she never seems afraid. Dahlia should stay away from him. Instead, she becomes fascinated. What starts as a harmless game slowly turns into something neither of them expected. Because Max is getting closer to discovering the truth, while Dahlia is beginning to feel something she's never understood before. And when love becomes tangled with obsession, secrets, and blood, one question remains: Can a monster truly fall in love, or will she destroy the only person who ever saw through her?

IZO44 AI PREDATOR - Mystery/Thriller novels & stories
ADAOBI SWEETIE ADINNU
The world has no shortage of action stories where problems are solved through bullets and explosions. Readers are increasingly looking for thrillers that challenge the mind and the heart. IZO 44: AI Predator answers that demand with a fresh kind of detective novel: one where intelligence, technology, digital forensics, artificial intelligence, cyber investigation, psychology, and human insight become the true weapons against organized crime. Joel Vale is not defined by gun but by the mysteries he unravels through observation, deduction and courage. This book is a detective series that celebrates critical thinking, teamwork, and justice while exploring the opportunities and dangers of emerging technologies. IZO 44: AI Predator Series Vision When brilliant artificial intelligence researcher Ava Morgan vanishes without a trace, every clue points in a different direction. Only detective Joel Vale notices a pattern hidden beneath the digital noise. As Joel and his investigative team follow seemingly unrelated disappearances, they uncover an invisible predator unlike any criminal they have faced before. It leaves no fingerprints, breaks no doors, and rarely appears in person. Instead, it watches. Quietly learning from surveillance systems, public networks, behavioral data, and the predictable routines of ordinary people, it identifies victims long before they realize they are being hunted. Every breakthrough only deepens the mystery. The investigation reveals an adaptive intelligence capable of anticipating human decisions, manipulating evidence, and staying several moves ahead of its pursuers. To stop the Predator, Joel must defeat not only a machine, but the hidden architects who transformed revolutionary technology into a weapon against humanity. Just as victory seems within reach, encrypted financial records expose the existence of a shadowy figure whose influence stretches across continents. His identity remains unknown. The only name attached to the empire is: The Crypto Kingpin ….which is the sequel to this book.

jhumz
Defense attorney Julian Voss doesn't lose — and he doesn't do relationships, not since the one reckless night three years ago he's spent every day since pretending he doesn't remember. Assistant State's Attorney Adrian Cole remembers everything. Especially the morning after, when Julian never called. When a federal judge turns up dead and his much-younger husband is charged with murder, Julian and Adrian are thrown back into the same courtroom on opposite sides of the case — and neither of them can stop thinking about the night three years ago they never talk about. But the deeper Julian digs into his client's case, the less it looks like a simple story of jealousy and money. The judge was hiding a second life — a secret lover, a hidden fortune, and a very powerful man who's used to buying the outcome he wants. And the people who know the truth keep disappearing. As the investigation pulls back the layers on a decade of quiet, ordinary corruption, Julian and Adrian have to decide how much they're willing to risk — their careers, their case, and each other — to actually get this right. Some verdicts take longer to reach than others. Some people are worth the wait.
