The Unswitchable by Yoav Blum

Genre: technothriller, crime, science fiction
What if everyone could become someone else—except you?

In a world where the Switch-Bracelet lets people instantly jump into any body, Dan Arbel is cursed with something unthinkable: he’s stuck being himself. While others hire stand-ins to do their workouts, commute in borrowed bodies, or vacation through the eyes of professional tourists, Dan remains trapped in his own skin—the only person on Earth who can’t switch.

That makes him valuable. And dangerous.

Working as a black-market courier in a society where identity is fluid, Dan thought his condition was just a lonely burden. Then a dying stranger in a borrowed body whispers impossible words—tying Dan to a secret buried deep in his past. Before he can process the revelation, assassins with ever-changing faces descend, hunting for something he carries without knowing.

In a world where anyone can be anyone, how do you know who to trust?

Dan’s unchanging identity, once his greatest curse, becomes the one constant in a deadly maze of deception. To survive, he must rely on the only thing no one else can claim anymore: his own irreplaceable self.

A heart-stopping blend of cyberpunk thriller and philosophical mystery that will leave you questioning the nature of identity itself.

Genre: crime, mystery, hard science fiction, time travel
A locked room. A dead scientist. A time machine.

Professor Yonatan Brand, a world-renowned physicist, amateur magician, and hot-chocolate enthusiast, dreamed of unlocking time itself. He mapped every danger, every paradox, every temptation of hubris. But when his body is discovered inside his sealed study, Brand leaves behind one impossible crime—and a machine that might have killed him.

Enter Benjamin “Bunker” Kronovic, a washed-up actor, and Abigail Canaani, a reclusive librarian. They’re not seasoned detectives; their usual cases involve lost pets and unpaid bills. Now they must face something far stranger: a corpse, a time machine, and a circle of Brand’s childhood friends, each guarding secrets darker than the past itself.

As Bunker and Abigail stumble through a mystery where time is as treacherous as truth, they discover that the question isn’t just who killed Professor Brand, but when.

In the Blink of an Eye is a locked-room mystery with a science-fiction twist, blending razor-sharp suspense, mind-bending paradoxes, and two unlikely detectives you’ll never forget.

A magical society divided. A web of lies. On the eve of Queen Victoria’s reign, a forbidden love could tear it all down.

In a dark, West London bed chamber, Diana Chester sees the truth—she’s inherited her dying grandfather’s transcendent magic. And she’ll be killed for it. It should be heating up her cousin’s blood. He’s the heir. She’s an aberration. And he wants the magic that’s rightfully his, no matter what he must do to get it.

Diana runs.

And is caught by a disgraced alchemist prince.

Exiled from alchemist society, Temple Grant, Baron Knightly blames himself for his family’s downfall. With no connections and dwindling opportunities, he joins the glamoured, transcendent world of West London to make it right. But the King demands absolute loyalty: Temple must take a wife from their ranks or lose the king’s favor.

Diana Chester possesses the right pedigree to please the king. She’s intriguing, too, and with her own reasons for a hasty marriage.

A convenient binding.
Complicated by desire.
Made almost impossible by a city divided.

The might of metal. The glitter of glamours. Diana and Temple belong to different sides of London. Love can bind them, but is it enough to bridge their dueling worlds?

Forbidden love, class difference, and a marriage of convenience makes for binge-able reading in this historical fantasy romance brimming with magic and a touch of steampunk.
