As for the spice 🌶 - yep, if you like a lovely, heartfelt romance with heat, Only One Summer in Berlin is the book for you!' goodreads.com/book/show/2542…

OPENING LINES
Until she stoops to turn him over, she isn't scared. She feels nothing but anger because he's done this once too often and enough is enough.

SNIPPETS
Natalie flings Sterling a cold look. 'And I suggest you mind your own business.'
'Fine.'
'Fine. And stop calling me Nat!'
Oh bloody hell. As Natalie sinks back into the sulks, dragging on her cigarette, Kate glances at O'Neill but he appears to have discovered something of enormous interest in a seascape on the far wall.

Remembering, she moves to the archway leading to the beach and peers down.
'Quite a drop, isn't it?' Sterling is beside her, looking down into the tumbled undergrowth. 'I must admit,' he says dryly, 'that the notion of being my girlfriend has never quite driven a woman to wanting to fling herself off a cliff before.'
She smiles sweetly. 'You should get out more,' she says, and as that gleam lights his eyes again, turns quickly away. 'No, it's my other shoe. It's down there.'
An eyebrow wings up. 'You are a curious cat, aren't you?’

THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA × BEST SERVED COLD × THE BUTCHER BOY When a Court Jester snaps and brutally murders the tyrant king, he must perform and slay his way out of a kingdom in chaos, hunted by loyalists, hailed by rebels, while his sanity slips and fractures. #PosterPit #W #A #F #H

A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY."
The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask.
The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!"
The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.
