The Riptide is a dazzling, puzzle-box mystery of secrets, power and hidden truths.

1804, Isle of Ray, Essex. Lysander Rose has spent his life searching for the truth about his mother, abducted when he was just a baby.

When the men who took her return for him, Lysander is forced to flee – leaving behind everything he knows. But in his escape, he uncovers a clue that draws him into the orbit of a secretive organisation known only as the Circle.

As Lysander follows the trail from the Essex coast to the shadowed streets of Edinburgh, he finds himself entangled in a world of murder, blackmail and political intrigue. At its centre: an exiled king, and a conspiracy that could shape the fate of nations.

And stranger still, the secrets of Lysander’s own past seem to be hidden in the pages of a lurid penny-blood chapbook – a story that may hold the key to who he really is.

But as the truth of his origins begins to emerge, Lysander must decide whether he can escape the fate others have written for him.

Your @jenevaroseauthor obsession is about to take a dark turn…

A dinner party. A quiet house. A roadside stop.

Three familiar setups. Three terrifying turns.

In Never Kill the Medium, a thirtieth birthday dinner turns deadly when a playful séance spirals out of control – and the guests cover up a death without realizing they’ve left the ritual unfinished.

In The Nightmare House, a postpartum mother begins to suspect something is wrong with her family’s new forever home. The house whispers. The neighbors watch. And every family who has lived there has died or disappeared.

In All Curses Are Final, a group of friends stop at a roadside store with a hand-painted warning: ‘All items cursed. Curse lifted at time of sale.’ They laugh it off – until one of them finds an unpaid item in her bag. Snowed in at a remote cabin, they soon discover the curse is only the beginning.

Dark, twisty, and impossible to put down, this chilling collection is out now in hardback - the perfect read for the start of spooky season... by @likely_suspects
