COVER REVEAL: THE HONOR SOCIETY by Rachel Van Dyken

Blurb

Charlie knows three things for certain.

She shot Axel.

He survived.

And somehow, he doesn’t remember she was the one who pulled the trigger.

It should be a relief.

Instead, the man she’s secretly loved for years feels different. Colder. More dangerous. Axel still smiles, still flirts, still looks at her like he might remember exactly how good they were together—but there are pieces of him she’s never seen before.

Secrets beneath the jokes.

Blood beneath the charm.

And a darkness he’s very, very good at hiding.

Because Axel remembers everything.

The bullet.

The betrayal.

The woman he still can’t stop wanting.

What Charlie doesn’t know is that Axel has spent years living two lives. In one, he’s the reckless man everyone underestimates.

In the other, he wears a mask.

The Proctor.

Judge. Jury. Executioner.

With the Convocation approaching, four powerful families are preparing to fight for control of the Honor Society, and someone is willing to wipe out entire bloodlines to take it.

They need two things to win:

The Ledger.

And the Proctor.

Axel has both.

Now he has eighteen days to discover who is hunting him, keep Charlie alive, and stop a war without revealing the one secret that could destroy them both.

Because Charlie is searching for the Proctor too.

She just doesn’t know she’s already falling for him.

Again.

THE DEAN’s LIST

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 23

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A new adult dark academia romance with a scarred hero and a school full of secrets from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken

She spent seven years mourning him.

He spent seven years hating her.

Neither of them knows they're hunting the same secret.

They call it the Dean's List.

Not because of grades.

Because of sins.

At Brighton University, someone keeps a ledger of the powerful. Professors. Legacy families. Future politicians. Every affair, bribe, betrayal, and crime is carefully collected, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the people responsible.

Delilah Quinn wants nothing to do with it.

She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and has one year left before she can finally leave her past behind.

Then Jude Mercer walks back into her life.

The boy she loved.

The boy she buried.

The boy who knows exactly who she is.

Jude spent years paying for a crime he didn't commit, convinced Delilah betrayed him. Now he's back, determined to uncover the truth and make everyone responsible suffer.

Especially her.

But revenge gets complicated when old feelings refuse to stay dead, and the deeper they dig into the Dean's List, the more they realize the ledger isn't exposing strangers.

It's exposing their families.

Someone has been waiting for them to come home.

Someone knows what really happened seven years ago.

And if the Dean's List finally comes to light...

It won't just ruin lives.

It will reveal that some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

Review:🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Rachel Van Dyken has done it again with another absolutely incredible book! I was a little sad to see the Elite series finally come to an end but The Dean’s List filled that hole so perfectly! I nearly read the whole thing in one night because I was so hooked,so many questions,so many secrets to uncover and I had to see what happened between Jude and Lilah but the soon to be rising sun sent me to bed but kinda glad it did because I don’t know if I would have been able to sleep after that explosive ending that has me screaming for book 2! And I so wanted to not like Jude with all his broodiness and rage but I’ve become a dark romance girly in the last year so I ate it up! The emotional roll coaster is a ride I’d definitely ride over and over again!

Sweet Poison

SWEET POISON

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: February 11

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦.

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳.

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭…

His breath hit my neck, lips brushing skin.

"𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘪𝘵?”

All it took was one phrase—“𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦?”—and I was already losing.

To the enemy.

To a Tinder date gone violently wrong.

To the Syndicate’s most dangerous heir.

It was supposed to be my last middle finger to the establishment before they sacrificed me on the family altar of arranged marriage. So I took control. I made the rules. I chose the husband.

Louis De Lange.

The twin who should’ve died.

The traitor.

The man who lost my sister—his so-called true love.

He said he had nothing left. So I made him my weapon.

But the problem with controlling a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

You never see the fangs until they’re already at your throat.

The plan was simple. The timeline set. Sixty days to infiltrate, manipulate, and survive.

But I wasn’t banking on Louis being more than broken—I wasn’t ready for how dangerous he could be when he finally decides he’s done bleeding for everyone else but himself.

I was playing to win.

He was playing to lose.

And we were both about to learn…

The sweeter the poison the more bitter the fight.

To the end. Love. Hell. Or destruction. Let the games begin.

Review 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

I went into this book knowing two things for certain 1) Once I dived in I wasn't coming back up for air until I finished and 2) It was going to be emotional.These are two things I've come to expect when reading the Eagle Elite series by Rachel Van Dyken! So exactly how I expected, I read it in one day and I finished this book late last night and Rachel wrecked me(in a good way that us bookworms love to be wrecked)! I absolutely obsessed with this series and again I was totally immersed into the characters and their story! It definitely leaves you guessing who is playing who and what exactly is the real game being played. I figured a couple of things out,one I suspected early on but I was holding out hope I was wrong so I held on and more things had me clinging to every word and every action of the characters which held my heart in their hands until the very end. There’s a slow burn with witty banter along with the dangers that we expect from a Mafia book but there's also family,sacrifice,secrets and lies and an ending that leaves you breathless and satisfied at the same time! As I will always say,I think Rachel is the Queen of Mafia Romance so when I can't recommend this book and series enough! #BloodInNoOut

Review:🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Historical Christian Fiction/Romance is one of my favorite genres to read and knowing this story came from a real life actually event that I had no previous knowledge of had me intrigued. Even though learning history can sometimes come with painful truths,I feel we should honor these people by telling their stories. This story took place during segregation and prejudices were often seen but it shows the determination of those who plowed through despite the hardships. Two people trying to make it in life by bettering themselves in academics and striving to hold to faith when life throws them a curveball. Lealie faces a test of her faith after this tragic event sidelines her plans. However,our plans are not always God's plans and while we can't always see the big picture or light at the end of the tunnel,He can so we must trust He knows best even when things seem bleak. Milton has to find his faith after being dealt a hard hand by his father and the church people. Can these two come together and overcome tragedy,past hurts and prejudices to find a bright future while a church community finds healing?

More from Terri

Growing up in inner-city Baltimore as the fourth daughter of five, money was always tight. Each school year, my mother paid for one field trip because that was all she could afford. With only one shot, I had to pick wisely.

I choose museums every year.

Some years, it was the Walter’s Art Gallery. Others, The Baltimore Museum of Art. I passed up the amusement parks and sports games to go walk through history. My history walking hasn’t changed now that I’m an adult. If I’m traveling, I’m always checking to see what museums are nearby.

History, for me, isn’t just about learning about old things. It’s about learning about old struggles, victories, and modern applications of those things. When I first learned about the Shiloh Baptist Church disaster, it struck me as horrifying and hopeless. As I began to research, however, I saw that this moment in history had a lesson to teach.

The Shiloh Baptist Church stampede is a story of resilience. It gives a snapshot of people, in the worst moment of their lives, figuring out how to move forward. I was moved by the community coming together to care for the victims, many of them total strangers. How local business owners donated to the care of strangers or to cover funeral costs.

History walking informs. It showed me, from a young age, strength and hope. It taught me lessons from ancient texts that helped me through the dark days I encountered in my personal life while writing this book. I wrote this book informed by history that I could face hard times because others did decades ago.

So if you are feeling like there are hard days ahead for you, do a little history walking. Hit the museums or the books. Learn history’s lessons. They are rich and priceless.
