BookTrib’s Bites: Four Unforgettable Reads
(NewsUSA) - Sicilian Avengers (Books One and Two) by Luigi Natoli
A thrilling Sicilian saga about the legendary secret sect purported to be forerunners of the Mafia, translated into English for the first time in two volumes.
Emerging from the dark streets and subterranean caves of Palermo, the Beati Paoli, masked and hooded, mete out their own form of justice to counter the unfettered power and privilege wielded by the aristocracy. For the voiceless, weak, and oppressed, the Beati Paoli are defenders and heroes.
Reminiscent of a Dumas novel, this is a atmospheric fresco of early eighteenth-century Palermo. Blasco da Castiglione, a bold orphan adventurer, arrives on a quest to discover his origins and seek his destiny. But this D’Artagnan-esque hero gets caught in a murderous succession plot involving a powerful family.
In Book Two, the Beati Paoli’s unrelenting campaign to restore justice is compromised by an act of betrayal and a plot that threatens its very existence. Purchase at https://bit.ly/4aWh3KN.

Book of the Month by Jennifer Probst
She’s desperate for another bestseller… and she’ll go to any length to get it. Even if it means sacrificing her pride to chase the hottest bachelor in town and get him to break her heart.
Once the literary world’s golden girl, Aspen Lourde can’t seem to produce another successful book, and the pressure’s on to prove she’s not just a one-hit-wonder. But there’s a catch: her bestseller was a heartbreak hit, straight from her own love life disaster. Without any fresh romantic turmoil to fuel her pen, Aspen needs inspiration quick enough to create a book her agent can sell to her publisher.
Brick Babel is a romance novelist’s dream: He’s everything Aspen needs for a muse kickstart—gorgeous, moody, and notoriously unattainable. Too bad a good heartbreak is exactly what she needs to meet her deadline.
But will Brick play the game? Purchase at https://bit.ly/4f4T5jO.
