About the book
After nine years in a tower, I was finally rescued… by a deadly fae king who wants to make me his mate.
He's harsh, beautiful, and being hunted by an ancient magical monster. If he wants to stay hidden, he needs to keep my magic close.
To do so, he ignites a forbidden mate bond between us that connects our minds and prevents me from leaving his side.
Though he insists it means nothing, the longer we're connected, the more our desire for each other rages beyond our control.
We have to fight it, because in his land, love is a weakness.
And having a mate?
It's a death sentence.
Our lives are hanging in the balance… and yet we can't stop fate's pull on our hearts.

Our take
Ryo inGara expects to die in battle, but when his warleader leaves him as a tuyo—an enemy sacrifice—he’s captured by a lord of the summer country and drawn into a conflict far larger than their peoples’ war. As darker forces rise, Ryo must confront shifting loyalties and decide whether to aid the man who holds his life in his hands.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Raised a warrior in the harsh winter country, Ryo inGara has always been willing to die for his family and his tribe. When war erupts against the summer country, the prospect of death in battle seems imminent. But when his warleader leaves Ryo as a sacrifice -- a tuyo -- to die at the hands of their enemies, he faces a fate he never imagined.
Ryo's captor, a lord of the summer country, may be an enemy . . . but far worse enemies are moving, with the current war nothing but the opening moves in a hidden game Ryo barely glimpses, a game in which all his people may be merely pawns. Suddenly Ryo finds his convictions overturned and his loyalties uncertain. Should he support the man who holds him prisoner, the only man who may be able to defeat their greater enemy? And even if he does, can he persuade his people to do the same?

Our take
Aphra Marsh, one of the only survivors of the government’s 1928 assault on Innsmouth, is asked by the FBI to help recover stolen occult secrets that could ignite the Cold War. Returning to the ruins of her past, she must reclaim her history and forge new bonds to face threats both human and uncanny. Ruthanna Emrys delivers a haunting, inventive reimagining of Lovecraft’s mythos.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This "weird, lyrical mystery" brings the Cthulhu mythos into the Cold War era: "an innovative gem that turns Lovecraft on his head" (Cherie Priest).
After attacking Devil's Reef in 1928, the US government rounded up the people of Innsmouth and took them to the desert, far from their ocean, their Deep One ancestors, and their sleeping god Cthulhu. Only Aphra and Caleb Marsh survived the camps, and they emerged without a past or a future.
The government that stole Aphra's life now needs her help. FBI agent Ron Spector believes that Communist spies have stolen dangerous magical secrets from Miskatonic University, secrets that could turn the Cold War hot in an instant, and hasten the end of the human race.
Aphra must return to the ruins of her home, gather scraps of her stolen history, and assemble a new family to face the darkness of human nature.
Winter Tide is the debut novel from Ruthanna Emrys, author of the Aphra Marsh story, "The Litany of Earth"—included here as a bonus.

About the book
An Indie Next Pick
Natasha Pulley's "witty, entrancing novel . . . burnishes her reputation as a gifted storyteller" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
In 1859, ex–East India Company smuggler Merrick Tremayne is trapped at home in Cornwall with an injury that almost cost him his leg. When the India Office recruits him for an expedition to fetch quinine--essential for the treatment of malaria--from deep within Peru, he knows it's a terrible idea; nearly every able-bodied expeditionary who's made the attempt has died, and he can barely walk. But Merrick is eager to escape the strange events plaguing his family's crumbling estate, so he sets off, against his better judgment, for the edge of the Amazon.
There he meets Raphael, a priest around whom the villagers spin unsettling stories of impossible disappearances, cursed woods, and living stone. Merrick must separate truth from fairy tale, and gradually he realizes that Raphael is the key to a legacy left by generations of Tremayne explorers before him, one which will prove more valuable than quinine, and far more dangerous.

Servant of the Underworld
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
In Tenochtitlan’s sacred heart, a priestess vanishes from a chamber soaked in blood, drawing Acatl, High Priest of the Dead, into a case that entangles his estranged brother and the volatile politics of the Mexica empire. As divine forces stir, he must navigate magic, ritual, and intrigue to uncover the truth. A vividly imagined Aztec mystery praised for its rich worldbuilding.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The first book in the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy:
Year One-Knife, Tenochtitlan the capital of the Aztecs. Human sacrifice and the magic of the living blood are the only things keeping the sun in the sky and the earth fertile.
A Priestess disappears from an empty room drenched in blood. It should be a usual investigation for Acatl, High Priest of the Dead--except that his estranged brother is involved, and the the more he digs, the deeper he is drawn into the political and magical intrigues of noblemen, soldiers, and priests-and of the gods themselves...
REVIEWS
'gripping mystery steeped in blood and ancient Aztec magic. I was enthralled.' — Sean Williams

Crow Planet
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Lyanda Lynn Haupt explores the lives of urban crows to show how wildness persists in the places we least expect. Blending personal observation with science, history, and myth, she reveals how paying attention to these intelligent birds deepens our understanding of nature—and our place within it. A lyrical, thought-provoking meditation praised for its insight and beauty.

About the book
"If you picture Henry David Thoreau as a young mother and scientist in suburban Seattle, you can begin to imagine the literate elegance of Crow Planet." —Paul Hawken, New York Times–bestselling author
There are more crows now than ever. Their abundance is both an indicator of ecological imbalance and a generous opportunity to connect with the animal world. Crow Planet reminds us that we do not need to head to faraway places to encounter "nature." Rather, even in the suburbs and cities where we live we are surrounded by wild life such as crows, and through observing them we can enhance our appreciation of the world's natural order.
Crow Planet richly weaves Haupt's own "crow stories" as well as scientific and scholarly research and the history and mythology of crows, culminating in a book that is sure to make readers see the world around them in a very different way.
"An inspired meditation on our own place in nature . . . You will never look at crows in the same way again." —David R. Montgomery, The Washington Post
"In a lyrical narrative that blends science and conscience, Haupt mourns the encroachments of urbanization but cherishes the wildness that survives." —Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review
"With her sensitivity, careful eye, and gift for language, Haupt tells her tale beautifully, using crow study to get at a range of ever-deepening concerns about nature and our place within it, immersing us in a heady hybrid of science, history, how-to, and memoir." —Erika Schickel, Los Angeles Times
"A completely charming and informative book on the pleasures of keeping one's eyes open." —David Sedaris

About the book
A moving multigenerational novel about the enduring power of a mother’s love, the ripple effect of secrets, and the strength of family bonds from a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
In 1919 Spain, Catalina Quintana is the eldest daughter in a family of silkworm farmers on the tiny island of La Palma in the remote Canary Islands. Fiercely independent, Catalina dreams of building a life with her childhood love. But when a devastating fire ruins her family's silkworm farm, she's forced into a loveless marriage and a journey across the sea to Cuba aboard a doomed ocean liner.
A century later, in 2019, journalist Mara Denis travels to La Palma to cover a modern-day disaster near the island. But the trip becomes personal when her mother asks her to find a long-lost birth certificate. Long haunted by the sea and plagued by dreams of a daughter she's never had, Mara begins to uncover a hidden family history that centers on Catalina, her great-grandmother who, she soon discovers, is listed among the dead in the infamous Valbanera shipwreck. As Mara follows Catalina's trail across Spain, Cuba, and Key West, she unearths a story of forbidden love and resilience that echoes through six generations.
Told in a dual narrative that moves seamlessly between past and present, Deeper than the Ocean is a meditation on the strength of women, the enduring power of a mother's love, and the corrosive hold of family secrets across oceans and time.
This sweeping novel is perfect for fans of Isabel Allende, Julia Alvarez, and Kristin Hannah.

Clarke Award winner.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Adrian Tchaikovsky, The Doors of Eden is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a page-turning adventure about parallel universes and the monsters that they hide. They thought we were safe. They were wrong. Four years ago, two girls went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor. Only one came back. Lee thought she'd lost Mal, but now she's miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has she been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn't gone unnoticed by MI5 officers either, and Lee isn't the only one with questions. Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor. Dr Khan's research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors crash open, anything could come through. "Tchaikovsky weaves a masterful tale... a suspenseful joyride through the multiverse." (Booklist)

‘Such a fun, spicy read with a great blend of heart and heat, all wrapped up in a fake-dating pact that had me giggling! Dom was a top candidate for my next book boyfriend.’ Emma Lucy, bestselling author of Live, Ranch, Love
Fake-dating has never been so hot.
Celebrity news anchor Olivia’s live-streamed marriage proposal ends in public humiliation — her almost-fiancé Rex says no.
Desperate to escape, Liv flees to Hawaii. Stunning sunsets and ocean views will help her plan her next move. Only to find Rex there too . . . with his new girlfriend!
And when Liv locks herself out of her rental, wearing nothing but red lacy underwear, she knows things definitely can go from bad to worse.
Until she’s rescued by gorgeous and mysterious surfer, Dom, who looks like he’s walked straight out of the ocean and into Liv’s fantasies!
Their not-so-meet-cute turns out to be the perfect solution to get back at Rex — a fake date. The plan is foolproof. Dom needs a distraction. Liv needs revenge.
But the more Liv and Dom fake it, the more the kisses start to feel a little too real — and in paradise, playing pretend has never been so tempting . . .
