Thunderland



Days after a devastating gale rips through his town and nearly takes his life, young Jason Brooks wakes up to a whole new world. His mother-once a neglectful, angry drunk-has given up the bottle to spend more time with him. His father-largely absent for most of Jason's life-is making an honest effort to mend his troubled marriage. And shy, self-conscious Jason has made friends-at last. The whole family is well on the way to recovery-and to finding the happiness that in the past has proved so elusive.

But then the nightmares start...

The stalker creeps into the bedroom. He bends down, slowly lifting the bedspread. He lifts it higher...and Jason wakes up screaming, his heart thudding in his chest.

And strange things begin to happen...

Cryptic messages appear on the bathroom mirror. Clothing flies about the room. The bed rises in the air...and thumps back to the ground. And always, in the distance, thunder roars...

Because someone-or something-is coming.

For Jason...

Within the Shadows



At just thirty-one, Andrew Wilson has it all: close friends, a great house in an Atlanta suburb, and a successful career as a mystery writer. Only one thing is missing-a special woman to share it with. Then one day he meets someone new, a woman who seems almost too good to be true.

Beautiful, smart, and sophisticated, Mika Woods is everything that Andrew has ever wanted and more--at first. After one night of passion, soon Andrew discovers that Mika isn't quite who she appears to be. Or even, what she appears to be.

But it's too late to turn back. Mika has been waiting a lifetime for a man like Andrew. And what she wants, what she desires, she will have--no matter who has to die . . .

The Other Brother



The award-winning author of Dark Corner, Thunderland, and Within the Shadows, Brandon Massey delivers a chilling supernatural thriller of the ties that bind—and dark secrets written in the blood. . .

Good fortune has smiled upon Gabriel Reid since the day he was born. Blessed with a loving family, educated in the finest schools, he holds a senior position in his father’s successful construction business in Atlanta. Engaged to a smart, beautiful woman and standing to inherit the CEO mantle, Gabriel’s got it all. But he’s about to meet someone who could change everything...

Raised on the mean streets of Chicago, Isaiah Battle refused to succumb to the violence that claimed others in his neighborhood. He’s forged his own identity from various influences, relying on his strength of character in the face of adversity. He also relies on another kind of strength—and few who have witnessed Isaiah wield his dark power have survived to tell the tale. . .

Now Isaiah has come to Atlanta to claim his birthright—as Gabriel’s half-brother from their father’s extramarital affair. The news threatens to tear the Reid family apart as they struggle to accept the stranger among them. But Isaiah, talented in ways no one ever imagined, wants much more than acceptance. He wants what he believes is rightfully his: everything Gabriel has. And he’ll let nothing stand in his way. . .
