I saw a post on threads where the creator asked Indie Authors to leave their promotional graphics in the replies for them to share, and I thought this was a fabulous idea. I also wanted to do the same. As I type this, I am receiving a fair number of replies, and so I have decided (where possible) to make this a regular post. I will create a blog post promoting indie authors’ works. So get your pens ready to add these books to your TBR.
I have not read the books on the list, so I cannot comment on what I think of them. However, I am making them available to you so that you can read them if you choose.

Timber by Tate James: The Epic Conclusion of the Hades Series
Timber by Tate James
Timber is the 4th and final book in the Hades series, and when I say that I am sad right now that this is over, I’m not even being dramatic. I think I’m grieving.
As with the others, this book follows on exactly where book 3 ends. We think Zed is in the FBI, and Hades has been arrested.

Exploring the Drama and Secrets in Club 22 by Tate James
Club 22 by Tate James
I have just finished this book and headed straight upstairs to my computer to write this review. 1, so I remember everything, and 2, because I feel like there is a lot to unpack in this one.
This book picks up where book 2 ended, Hades has just shot Cass because he has been working with Chase and dealing with PCP. We see Cass’ funeral and the reapers transitioning to the control of Roach.

Unraveling Hades’ Secrets in Anarchy Book 2
Anarchy by Tate James
Anarchy is book 2 in the Hades series and this book starts where book 1 left off. Lucas has been taken and Hades, Cass and Zed are searching for him.
In this one, we get more of Cass and Hades, as well as Lucas and Hades, and we see lots of jealous Zed. We also find out who it is that is terrorising them. Someone who should be dead. We get more of Hades’ backstory in this book, but we also see her walls start to come down as she lets the men into her heart. This book also ends on a cliffhanger.
One down, two to go
Tate James’ 7th Circle: Action and Romance in Hades’ World
7th Circle by Tate James
7th Circle is book one of the Hades series by Tate James. It is set in the same universe as the Madison Kate series, and it is recommended that you read this after finishing the Madison Kate series.
7th Circle follows Hades, the infamous businesswoman and leader of the Tri-state Timberwolves. We hear of Hades in the Madison Kate series, and that Hades is not to be messed with. We don’t, however, get the identity of Hades in the MK series. It was one of the biggest things I was questioning when I finished Kate. Who is Hades?

Wanted: A Look into Dark Themes and Complex Characters
Wanted by Lauren Biel
Wanted is a DARK GRAY romance novella with high spice and low plot. This home invasion story will leave you questioning if you should leave your door open at night.
I’m wanted.
On the lam, running from the law and my mistakes. The house tucked into the trees seems safe—an excellent place to hide out.
Once inside, I find something unexpected. A nurse that can do more than heal my wounds. But the longer I’m awake, the more reality starts to blur, and I can’t tell what’s real and what’s not anymore.
Plagued by ill fantasies and temptation, I try to keep her safe from me. It works until the lines between us also begin to blur.
Vanessa, like her home, will never be the same once I get inside.
Wanted is a dark, spicy novella with a plethora of content advisories. It’s part of Lauren Biel’s “after dark” collection, and warnings on LaurenBiel.com should be taken seriously.
Goldflame: The Dark Romance Awaited by Fans
Goldflame by Aveline Knight
Releasing 12th June 2025
There are many things I never thought I’d find myself behind; the barrel of a gun is one of them. I feel the tingle, the rush, as it slithers down my skin. I feel the cold. Too many deaths – one of them will be the death of me. Julian is determined to make me pay for someone else’s sins. And I’m struggling not to succumb to his mercy, not to fall to my knees and beg. But as my legs give in, as my muscles strain and my voice weakens, I keep the handle of my knife tight in my grip. My Mother’s suffering collides with mine as I use my last breath to take away the ones who stole hers. I keep fighting. I keep killing. I keep hoping. Even when ghosts are the only company I have left. Even when he’s the last thing I see.
