Set within the sun-drenched halls of Excelsior Academy, an elite Jesuit boarding school in Santo Domingo, the story follows a close-knit group of students pushed to their breaking point under the rule of Profesora Lourdes, a sadistic and emotionally abusive teacher whose authority is absolute. The Catalyst: When Alex, a charismatic but deeply manipulative teenager, orchestrates a plan to poison Lourdes as an act of vigilante justice, the students believe they are reclaiming power from an institution that has failed them. The Nightmare: The retaliation does not end there. What begins as a seemingly contained act of revenge detonates into terror when a masked killer known as El Grim Cojuelo emerges—a silent, merciless figure drawn from Dominican folklore, fusing the Grim Reaper with carnival myth, and targeting those connected to the crime. The Mystery: As the body count rises, the surviving students are forced to confront their own complicity, the school’s systemic neglect, and a chilling question: is El Grim Cojuelo a human murderer exploiting fear—or a supernatural force summoned by guilt, silence, and long-buried injustice?

1984 is a dystopian novel by George Orwell written in 1948, which follows the life of Winston Smith, a low ranking member of ‘the Party’, who is frustrated by the omnipresent eyes of the party, and its ominous ruler Big Brother. ‘Big Brother’ controls every aspect of people’s lives. It has invented the language ‘Newspeak’ in an attempt to completely eliminate political rebellion; created ‘Throughtcrimes’ to stop people even thinking of things considered rebellious. The party controls what people read, speak, say and do with the threat that if they disobey, they will be sent to the dreaded Room 101 as a looming punishment. Orwell effectively explores the themes of mass media control, government surveillance, totalitarianism and how a dictator can manipulate and control history, thoughts, and lives in such a way that no one can escape it.

‘The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out’. Aldous Huxley first took mescalin in 1953 and continued his experiments with hallucinogenic drugs until 1963 when, on his deathbed, he asked for and was given LSD. Huxley explores the effects of the mescalin experience, describing how the drug enabled him to discover a ‘sacramental vision of reality’. He also discusses the spiritual and moral implications of the experience, demonstrating how negative emotions can transform man’s perceptual Nirvana into a ‘schizophrenic hell’.

She’s his ticket to the truth—and the reason for his downfall. Gabriel Hill is a playboy with a secret. When the Hill brothers lost their parents to a murderous insurance grab, a teenage Gabriel was thrown into the position of sole breadwinner. No qualifications. No employment history. No skills. Other than knowing exactly how to use his body... Now Gabriel has everything—the clothes, the money, the reputation. Except the one thing he’s lusted over for ten years: revenge. The legacy of Elise Bettencourt’s parents hangs over her like a threat. She may have been a child when the deaths happened, but that doesn’t absolve her of blame. Or of guilt. When Gabriel walks into her bakery, he’s a man on a mission—first, to seduce Elise’s brains out. Second, to use her like the key she is to the secrets of his past. But using Elise to get to the Bettencourt name comes with its own dangers. Not least of all because Gabriel appears to be developing a craving that only her sweetness can satisfy. POWER PLAY is the first book in the Power trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Amelia Wilde. Featuring a sinfully sexy playboy and his innocent conquest, this dark romance trilogy explores the consequences of passionate revenge.
