When Jamie’s best friend drags her to a speed-dating event, she expects mediocre men and an opportunity to eat her feelings later.

Like every slasher movie she's ever watched and studied, Jamie knows that the rules of making it out alive are simple: don't split up and definitely don't have sex. But that's easier said than done when she finds herself caught in a love triangle with two dangerously attractive strangers.
Nothing speeds up love like fighting for your life and if Jamie's going to get out in one piece, she'll have to figure out who's playing her heart and who's playing to kill.

From booktok and bookstagram sensation Monty Jay comes a dark, twisted romance set in a world of secrets, vengeance, and monsters that don't hide in the shadows-they rule them.
Perfect for fans of Rina Kent and Penelope Douglas.
Hollow Heights University is a prestigious institution for the elite, nestled in the eerie seaside town of Ponderosa Springs. Beneath its polished surface lies a breeding ground for corruption, where secrets rot and danger lurks behind every corner.
She should have stayed invisible. One wrong move placed her directly in the path of the Hollow Boys-a group of ruthless, powerful men who thrive on control, fear, and destruction. They are the monsters people warn about… and the ones no one escapes.
What begins as a descent into their dangerous world soon becomes something far more complicated. Bound by vengeance, violence, and buried truths, lines blur between victim and accomplice, hatred and desire.
This isn't a story about heroes or happy endings. It's about choices that stain the soul, love that grows in the darkest places, and the kind of obsession that consumes everything in its path.
Some people run from their monsters.
She fell in love with hers.

Ponderosa Springs has always been a town built on lies. Beneath its surface, long-hidden secrets begin to unravel, exposing betrayal, bloodshed, and the truth behind those once trusted the most.
As tensions rise and the past threatens to ignite in full view, the return of a familiar face changes everything.
Sage was once seen as the town's golden girl-but her sudden reappearance at Hollow Heights brings more questions than answers. Haunted by her sister's mysterious death, she claims to be searching for closure. But not everyone believes her intentions are as innocent as they seem.
Especially him.
He knows what she's capable of. He's seen through her before-and he refuses to be deceived again. While others fall under her spell, he remains determined to protect everything they've built, even if it means turning her into his enemy.
As manipulation, secrets, and vengeance collide, their dangerous game escalates into something far more personal. Because this time, control isn't so easily maintained-and not everyone will walk away unscathed.
In a town where nothing stays buried, and everyone has something to hide, one wrong move could set everything on fire.

The New Geography of Innovation
The US is the source of just about all the technologies that define modern life: personal computers, operating systems, smartphones, e-commerce, web browsers, email, search engines, social networks, electric cars and the rest. And most of the tech companies that created and monetized these technologies are also in the US.
In this book Mehran Gul, the winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize, asks: is that changing?
Less than a decade ago, the sentiment towards Chinese tech compa-nies was often dismissive and complacent. Now the alarm bells are ringing. But as the commentariat pontificates how the US-China tech battle will play out, an equally interesting question to ask is: are there more Chinas out there? Places no one is taking seriously now that might turn out to be massively competitive sooner than we think.
Samsung, a South Korean conglomerate, competes with Apple to be the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones. Arm, founded in the UK, develops chip designs that are used in more than 90 per cent of all mobile devices. Spotify, based in Sweden, is the most popular music streaming service in the world.
That's not all. The world's most important semiconductor company, TSMC, is in Taiwan. The other most important company in the semiconductor industry, ASML, is in the Netherlands. Some of the world's best-known games like Minecraft, Candy Crush and Angry Birds came from gaming studios in the Nordics. Nearly all the major electric battery manufacturers like CATL, LG, and SK On are in Asia.
This is a story about technology and the places where it finds its way into the world. Silicon Valley has for half a century been unrivalled in spinning out technologies and fast-growing, high-value, billion-dollar-plus tech companies, the Apples, Facebooks, Googles of the world, that made it the centre for the most rapid creation of wealth in human history. Its secrets are spreading to more places.
The geography of innovation is shifting. The world has a lot more high-value tech companies than ever before, growing a lot faster than ever before, in a lot more places than ever before. This is a book about these places.

Yet none of them know that Tilde is a snake in their midst, with allies on her side and dark, forbidden power of her own. She wants her kingdom back, and she will sacrifice everything to claim it.
For the queen to rise, the swans must fall.

But halfway through the world is interrupted by an unexpected airborne event - raining squid! This will change the relationship of the dogs and bears forever . . .
