Carry On
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell, Carry On blends ghost story, love story, and magical mystery with 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Chosen One Simon Snow can’t control his magic, his mentor’s avoiding him, and his vampire roommate-slash-nemesis might just be the most dangerous distraction of all.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One ever—just ask his vampire roommate and sworn nemesis, Baz. Not that Baz is around to say it; he hasn’t even bothered showing up for their final year at Watford School of Magicks.
Simon can’t get his wand to cooperate, accidentally sets things on fire, and his mentor’s ghosting him. Oh, and there’s a magic-eating monster on the loose… wearing Simon’s face.
Between the mysterious creature, a broken heart, and a missing nemesis, Simon’s last year is shaping up to be a disaster. But when Baz finally turns up, secrets unravel, alliances shift, and Simon’s biggest problem might not be the monster, it might be how he feels about Baz.
Because sometimes the real magic is the trouble you didn’t see coming.

Drawn in by Drayton’s lush campus, brilliant students, and her magnetic adviser Dante, Lennon throws herself into mastering her gift, even as it exacts a brutal toll. The deeper she dives, the more she uncovers about Drayton’s unsettling past and the true nature of its ultimate test.
Because here, the real lesson is simple: wield absolute power without falling to corruption.
And Lennon’s not sure she’ll survive the semester.

About the book
Kimberly has ultimate cosmic power, but try putting that on a résumé without a diploma. Until she graduates from the secret Blackhollow Academy, she’s stuck slinging coffee, dodging bills, and living with her mom. There’s just one problem: no diploma without a familiar.
As an illusionist, summoning one is impossible. Her only shot is convincing a supernatural creature to let her bind it. And why settle for a cat or a raven when a dragon—complete with treasure hoard—might be game?
Enter a legendary, sarcastic, and very much unbindable dragon who sees through every one of her tricks.
The magi want to control her. Others want her gone for good. If she fails, her future goes up in smoke. But what if the dragon has plans of his own?

About the book
“In Hunt Them Down, Gervais has crafted an intelligent and thoughtful thriller that mixes family dynamics with explosive action…The possibilities are endless in this new series, and this will easily find an enthusiastic audience craving Hunt’s next adventures.” —Associated Press
The dark world he’s been fighting against has caught up with him. Will his daughter pay the price?
Former Army Ranger Pierce Hunt is no stranger to violence. Fresh off a six-month suspension, he’s itching to hit a notorious Mexican drug cartel where it hurts, even if that means protecting crime boss Vicente Garcia, a witness in the case against sadistic cartel leader Valentina Mieles. But things spiral out of control when the cartel murders Garcia and kidnaps his granddaughter and an innocent bystander, Hunt’s own teenage daughter.
Mieles wants the new head of the Garcia family on a plate—literally. Hunt has seventy-two hours to deliver, or Mieles will execute the girls live on social media. With the clock ticking, Hunt goes off the grid and teams up with Garcia’s daughter, a former lover and current enemy. To save the girls, Hunt will have to become a man he swore he’d never be again: an avenging killer without limits or mercy.

From Hugo Award–winner T. Kingfisher comes The Twisted Ones, a RUSA Award–winning horror novel with 4.1 out of 5 stars on Amazon. When Mouse discovers her step-grandfather’s disturbing journal, the eerie creatures he described start appearing in the woods. Equal parts creepy and compelling, it’s Blair Witch meets The Andy Griffith Show, if the show wanted you dead.
Choose your retailer
About the book
When Mouse agrees to clean out her late grandmother’s house in rural North Carolina, she’s expecting dust, clutter, and maybe a few awkward memories. What she finds is far worse.
Grandma was a hoarder. The rooms are packed to bursting. But buried in the mess is her step-grandfather’s journal—pages of strange rants about bizarre creatures in the woods.
At first, Mouse thinks it’s nonsense. Then she sees them for herself.
Now, alone with only her dog for company, she’s trapped in a nightmare where the impossible walks the forest and the dark watches back. If she doesn’t confront the horrors head-on, she won’t make it out alive.
And these things? They aren’t just in her head. They’re hunting.

Our take
From USA Today bestselling author Pippa Grant comes Not My Kind of Hero, a laugh-out-loud romcom with 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. A single mom’s fresh start on a Wyoming ranch gets complicated by her gruff tenant, who’s also her daughter’s math teacher. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and love might just sneak in.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Moving to a hobby ranch in Hell’s Bells, Wyoming, was supposed to be my fresh start, complete with snow, nosy neighbors, and the occasional wild animal. I didn’t count on my biggest challenge being the grumpy bear of a man renting my guesthouse.
He’s my tenant, my daughter’s math teacher, and her soccer coach. I run into him everywhere, and every time, he acts like I’m one wrong step from needing a rescue.
I don’t need saving. Or so I tell myself.
But beneath his surly exterior is a fixer-upper heart in need of its own repair. And the more I get to know him, the more I wonder if I’m the one meant to do the fixing…even if falling for him could upend everything.

CIRCE

Our take
A #1 New York Times bestseller, Circe was described by The New York Times as “[A] bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story.” The novel reimagines the sorceress of The Odyssey as she discovers witchcraft, is exiled by Zeus, and must decide whether she belongs with the gods or the mortals she has come to love, with a 4.5-star rating from more than 95,600 Amazon reviewers. A strong match for readers drawn to Greek mythology retellings, powerful witches, gods and mortals, and character-driven historical fantasy.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This #1 New York Times bestseller is a "bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story" that brilliantly reimagines the life of Circe, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey (Alexandra Alter, *The New York Times*).**
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

Our take
Jodi Taylor’s Hard Time thrusts rookie misfits Luke, Jane, and Matthew into the Time Police’s most dangerous mission yet. With temporal tourism spiraling out of control, these untested recruits must stop the greatest threat to history itself. Fast-paced, hilarious, and brimming with charm, this is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Jasper Fforde, and Doctor Who.
Choose your retailer
About the book
History is under constant threat from those foolish enough to try to change it. Temporal tourism is booming, offering the rich and reckless a chance to meddle in the past. It is illegal, dangerous, and extremely profitable—and the Time Police are determined to shut it down.
When their top agents are taken out, replacements are needed immediately. Enter Team Weird: Luke, Jane, and Matthew, three rookie officers still in training and not exactly by-the-book. They might lack polish, but their creativity and nerve may be exactly what is needed.
In Hard Time, Jodi Taylor delivers another witty, fast-paced adventure in the Time Police series, where the fate of history rests in the hands of the most unlikely heroes imaginable.
