The official patter:
"In this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh, a remote estate in New Zealand's Southern Alps hosts a reunion no one will ever forget.

Seven friends.
One last weekend.
A mansion half in ruins.
No room for lies.
Someone is going to confess.
Because there should have been eight....


They met when they were teenagers. Now they're adults, and time has been kind to some and unkind to others - none more so than to Bea, the one they lost nine long years ago.

They've gathered to reminisce at Bea's family's estate, a once-glorious mansion straight out of a Gothic novel. Best friends, old flames, secret enemies, and new lovers are all under one roof. But when the weather turns and they're snowed in at the edge of eternity, there's nowhere left to hide from their shared history.

As the walls close in, the pretense of normality gives way to long-buried grief, bitterness, and rage. Underneath it all, there's the nagging feeling that Bea's shocking death wasn't what it was claimed to be. And before the weekend is through, the truth will be unleashed - no matter the cost...."

Yes yes, this is my jam.

Saevus Corax Captures the Castle by K.J. Parker

The official patter:
"From one of the most original voices in fantasy comes a heroic tale of honor, friendship, and battlefield salvage.

It's important to look after your crew when you're in the battlefield salvage business. It's stressful work at the best of times, and although your employees are unlikely to be happy it makes sense to keep them alive.

So when Saevus Corax finds himself having to capture a castle to stop his men from being killed, he has no choice but to give it a try. Needless to say, the conventional rules of siegecraft are unlikely to be followed."

A little Monty Python, a little Terry Pratchett, I'm here for all these vibes.
