Nov. 14th, 2024: Heir of Blood and Moonlight by Lindsey Sparks

Seven immortals. One queen. A love to die for.

I’m the last of my kind-the last living female vampire. The only one left to save my race from extinction. No pressure, right?

For three decades, I’ve been on the run, living as a human librarian and hiding from the shifters who slaughtered my family when I was a kid. But now they’ve found me, and the only way to protect myself-and my son-is to claim my throne and unlock my magic, gifted to my ancestors by the moon goddess Selene. And to do that, I need to bind myself to seven consorts. Seven insanely hot, powerful, and irresistible immortal men.

There’s Gavin, the bossy undead vampire who awakens desires I thought long dormant.

Bastian, the tattooed shifter who betrayed his own kind to protect me.

Ash, the huge, brooding warrior who sees the strength in me I’d forgotten.

And Javier, my childhood guardian who’s always been more than just a protector.

But it’s not all steamy nights and second chances. Enemies lurk in every shadow, threatening everything I hold dear. The ancient war between vampires and shifters could destroy us all, and the shifter king will stop at nothing to capture me.

I’m done running. Done hiding. I’ll fight like hell to protect my newfound family-both my son and my consorts. I’m not just a librarian anymore. I’m not just a mom. I’m the last gods-damned vampire queen.

And it’s time for me to reclaim my throne.

Nov. 15th, 2024: A Goddess of Spring and Shadows (Hades x Persephone Book 1 by Lena J. Castle)

It’s not an abduction. It’s an escape.

Persephone lives a life of obedience and isolation, trapped under her mother Demeter’s stifling control, with her magic suppressed. Desperate to break free, she defies the rules and flees to the shadowed realm of the Underworld. But what begins as a daring escape soon becomes a perilous bargain.

Hades, the God of the Underworld, possesses a deadly touch that withers life itself. That should be enough to keep the Goddess of Spring far away, yet Persephone is irresistibly drawn to the dangerous god by a pull she can’t deny—one woven by the Fates. As she ventures deeper into his world, she finds herself questioning if she’s truly escaped or merely traded one captor for another.

When her mother’s fury threatens to unleash famine upon the mortal realm, Persephone must confront an impossible choice: return to the life she fled or embrace her growing love for Hades, risking the lives of countless innocents in the process.

But everything changes when Dwyn’s calculated lessons unlock a second power in Ophir, the most rare and dangerous of all magic…manifestation.

Ophir knows three things for certain. One, she burns passionately for both the beautiful siren and the rugged master of secrets. Two, with their powers combined, the trio can seek revenge against her sister’s killers.

And three, no one can be trusted.

Nov. 22nd, 2024: Alan Dreams of Giants by T.M. May

What if there was a real, bona fide way to put yourself in the middle of a fantasy story and live out your wildest dreams? No, literally, what if it was all in your dreams?

Near a great lake and very far from anything thrilling, Alan Hendershot is a cashier at a grocery store. Irritating customers and pesky management abound, and the recent death of his father has driven him to further isolation. His singular, tiny well of happiness is the reading of fantasy paperbacks and the forgetting of all else.

When he stumbles into a mysterious book about lucid dreaming at the library, things take a turn, as every night becomes an escape to a fantasy world as wild as he can imagine, with magic, a cyclops bartender, really hot peppers, and mythologies all about cheese. To complicate things, it seems he is the only one in this world unaffected by a curse of blindness that has made all creatures appear fearsome and ugly, sowing hate and discord everywhere.

When he’s recruited by a ragtag group of adventurers hoping to save the world, Alan begins to realize that the end of this story might reach further than the confines of his imaginary world. He will have to dig for truths buried deep within his own mind, some of which he may not be able to find while asleep.

So, curl up next to the fireplace (or beneath your grocery store cash register) and enjoy a story about the power of stories themselves-a story that explores just how powerful our own imaginations can be in the real world, and how important the people and things that nurture those imaginations are to us. This is fantasy for those who love fantasy enough to make it real.

Nov. 12th, 2024: Bloody is the Night by Robin Jeffrey

Unbeknownst to humans, the werewolves of the world live in tight knit gangs, or “dens”, for protection from outsiders – and each other. Every major metropolis has one; to belong to a den is to have a family for eternity. Shaye Cassidy, an unhoused human woman scraping by on the streets of Los Angeles, hasn’t had anything close to a family in over ten years. Shaye left her home under a cloud to chase the dream of a new start, a dream that quickly turned into a nightmare; a nightmare that grows even more twisted when Shaye witnesses a werewolf killing a fellow unhoused man.

Andy Vasquez is a top member of Sangre Sagrada, second only to the den leader herself. When she tasks him with tracking down a werewolf gone rogue, someone who is killing humans for sport and risking the exposure of their world, Andy dedicates all his resources to the task. He couldn’t have predicted that the key to uncovering the identity of the rogue wolf would be a human woman, any more than he could have predicted that he would fall in love with her.

Now, Andy must protect Shaye not just from the rogue wolf, but also from those within his den who wish she would disappear. Shaye has her own secrets, however, and in the city of angels, everyone has a devilish side.

Nov. 12th, 2024: Like Thunder: The Desert Magician’s Duology: Book Two by Nnedi Okorafor

Niger, West Africa, 2077
 
Welcome back. This second volume is a breathtaking story that sweeps across the sands of the Sahara, flies up to the peaks of the Aïr Mountains, cartwheels into a wild megacity—you get the idea.
 
I am the Desert Magician; I bring water where there is none.
 
This book begins with Dikéogu Obidimkpa slowly losing his mind. Yes, that boy who can bring rain just by thinking about it is having some…issues. Years ago, Dikéogu went on an epic journey to save Earth with the shadow speaker girl, Ejii Ubaid, who became his best friend. When it was all over, they went their separate ways, but now he’s learned their quest never really ended at all.
 
So Dikéogu, more powerful than ever, reunites with Ejii. He records this story as an audiofile, hoping it will help him keep his sanity or at least give him something to leave behind. Smart kid, but it won’t work—or will it?
 
I can tell you this: it won’t be like before. Our rainmaker and shadow speaker have changed. And after this, nothing will ever be the same again.
 
As they say, ‘Onye amaro ebe nmili si bido mabaya ama ama onye nyelu ya akwa oji welu ficha aru.’
 
Or, ‘If you do not remember where the rain started to beat you, you will not remember who gave you the towel with which to dry your body.’

Nov. 19th, 2024: Old Man’s War by John Scalzi

Perfect for an entry-level sci-fi reader and the ideal addition to a veteran fan’s collection, John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War will take audiences on a heart-stopping adventure into the far corners of the universe.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife’s grave. Then he joined the army.

The good news is that humanity finally made it to the stars. The bad news is that, out there, planets fit to live on are scarce―and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.

Responsible for protecting humanity, the Colonial Defense Force doesn’t want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You’ll be taken off Earth, never to return. You’ll serve two years in combat. And if you survive, you’ll be given a homestead of your own on a hard-won planet light-years from home.

John Perry is taking that deal. He thinks he knows what to expect. But the actual fight is far, far harder than he can imagine―and what he will become is far stranger.

Nov. 12th, 2024: Time and Tide by J.M. Frey

Just a twenty-first century gal with nineteenth-century problems…

When Sam’s plane crashes catastrophically over the Atlantic, it defies all odds for Sam to be the sole survivor. But it seems impossible that she’s rescued by a warship in 1805. With a dashing sea captain as her guide, she begins to find her footing in a world she’d only seen in movies.

Then Sam is betrayed. At the mercy of the men and morals of the time, and without the means to survive on her own, she’s left with no choice but to throw herself on the charity of the captain’s sisters. She resigns herself to a quiet life of forever hiding her true self. What she doesn’t expect is that her new landlady is Margaret Goodenough—the world-famous author whose yet-to-be-completed novel will contain the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature, and a clever woman. Clever enough to know her new companion has a secret.

As the two women grow ever closer, Sam must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a place where she doesn’t think she’ll ever fit in, and possibly (accidentally) changing the course of history.

Nov. 12th, 2024: Wake Up, Nat & Darcy by Kate Cochrane

Ex-lovers. Ex-rivals. New cohosts. Oh, puck.

Cut from the U.S. women’s hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that’ll help her avoid moving back home. The answer: a guest hosting gig on Wake Up, USA’s winter games coverage. Her co-host: Darcy LaCroix, Nat’s ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary.
Since leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in broadcasting. If her big break requires sharing screen time with the former cocky freshman who turned her world upside down, so be it. At this point, there’s nothing between them except history.
But audiences disagree. #PuckingHotties is trending hard, and Nat and Darcy agree to lean into it…for ratings, obviously. It’s not like Nat can forget the way Darcy broke her heart or their bitter team rivalry.
Between working, traveling together, and that irresistible spark, it’s getting hard to separate what’s real and what’s for the camera. Because somewhere underneath everything that went wrong is the sneaking suspicion that nothing will ever feel quite this right again.
