Who would you kill for your freedom?

Broken Snow, a heart-pounding companion story in Mason Sabre's Paranormal and Urban Fantasy, Society Series, Mel Morris must do just that …

Money hunters. That’s what they call them. A bunch of underground vigilantes sweeping the area for anyone out of curfew or breaking the law.

Mel Morris, a snow leopard and self-proclaimed recluse, finds herself in more trouble than she can imagine. All she was doing was heading to town for supplies ... but ... catching the eye of one of the money hunters' spotters, Mel walks into a danger that she didn't realise had been following her all along.

There’s a secret, though. These money hunters aren’t just looking for criminals … they were looking for her. A shifter caught in a race, and she is the prize.

Shatter ( Destine Academy book 😎
By Sara snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Caroline and her friends are in a race against the clock as they try to protect themselves from any insidious influence from Tempeste.Gaspar is running out of time in his plight to save his family, andMarguerite Destine, the headmistress, is becoming increasingly desperate in her bid to find Eloise.Can Caroline keep Eloise safe, or is Eloise unable to be saved?

As Caroline struggles to protect those around her, it becomes all too clear the Tempeste—and the Entiere—are coming.

...and she is out of time

This is such a good series in short bursts. I’ve said so many times how this author packs so much into a few chapters it’s like reading a full book. This has a sad undertone especially at the end we find Caroline has finally been pushed to her limits by her dad and aunt.

Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson is an intensely emotional coming of age story, of a Ghanaian Londoner called Stephen.

As a young black man, Stephen feels safety in his small worlds: music, family and friends. And then there is outside those worlds where Stephen feels less safe: places in London where there is brutality or unrest, and University, which is where he really doesn’t want to be, as it’s so far from his friends and family - and his world.

Stephen needs these constants in his life, and when it’s taken away, he’s lost.

Stephen goes to Ghana to see the people and places of his parents youth, and it’s here that he finds some connection with those he loves. When he goes home, he’s able to come to terms with those people he has lost and rebuild relationships.

This was a really moving novel that made me really think about the challenges of culture, family, race and policing in London (in particular).
Recommended.
