About the book
HUGO AWARD WINNER • WORLD FANTASY AWARD WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A Holmes and Watson–style detective duo take the stage in this fantasy with a mystery twist, from acclaimed author Robert Jackson Bennett
“Like an endearing fantasy version of Knives Out . . . A great murder mystery is hard to pull off but Bennett structures his perfectly, and the fact that it’s in a fantasy setting only makes it better.”—T. J. Klune, The New York Times
LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, Elle, BookPage
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible.
Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.
At her side is her new assistant, Dinios Kol, magically altered in ways that make him the perfect aide to Ana’s brilliance. Din is at turns scandalized, perplexed, and utterly infuriated by his new superior—but as the case unfolds and he watches Ana’s mind leap from one startling deduction to the next, he must admit that she is, indeed, the Empire’s greatest detective.
As the two close in on a mastermind and uncover a scheme that threatens the Empire itself, Din realizes he’s barely begun to assemble the puzzle that is Ana Dolabra—and wonders how long he’ll be able to keep his own secrets safe from her piercing intellect.
By an “endlessly inventive” (Vulture) author with a “wicked sense of humor” (NPR), The Tainted Cup mixes the charms of detective fiction with brilliant world-building to deliver a fiendishly clever mystery that’s at once instantly recognizable and thrillingly new.

Whiskey Neat
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
Whiskey Neat (4.7 out of 5 stars) kicks off Mia Monroe’s steamy new Last Call series with a commitment-phobe f*ckboi, a bossy twink who oozes top energy, and the kind of casual fling that gets way too serious. Set in a quirky gay bar full of snark, steam, and second chances, this one’s smooth, spicy, and totally unfiltered.

About the book
I want a commitment like I want a rash so why can’t I get the bossy twink with pretty lips and plenty of snark out of my head?
Anyone who spends time with me knows two things.
1. If I want something I get it, which is how I end up back in my old college haunts, buying a dilapidated bar with my five best friends and staring down the barrel of an unknown future.
2. The idea of settling down makes my skin crawl, and that’s how I made it to forty with zero serious relationships in the rear view mirror.
At least I’m smart enough to hire the right people. Enter Salem Barlowe, the prettiest twink who ever twinked and my personal kryptonite. Physically he’s everything I like but our personalities couldn’t be more at odds. I didn’t want to like him with all his sass and acting like he runs the place, but someone tell that to my...Uh, you get what I’m saying.
As if my hands aren’t full enough figuring out how to run the town’s only gay bar, my nights are filled with a man younger than me, bossier than me, and definitely prettier than me, and like a finely aged whiskey, Salem should be enjoyed slowly, savoring every complex note.
We just have to keep it casual. No problem. I can do casual with my eyes closed.
Whiskey Neat is book one in Last Call, a contemporary series set in the New Onyx universe. You can expect the antics and bond of six long time friends, the shenanigans happening at a quirky gay bar, a commitment phobe with a penchant for sweet guys, a bossy twink with mad top energy who doesn’t have a sweet bone in his body (or does he), the eternal f*ckboi has finally met his match, you can come home again vibes, midlife glow ups, an easter egg or two, and plenty of steam.
At Moby’s Bar, there aren’t any rogue white whales to harpoon, but they are serving up plenty of D… Drinks, folks. Come on.

About the book
Welcome to the deadliest show on Earth...
When the Ruby Red Spectacle Circus rolls into town, chaos and death follow in its wake. At first, the accidents seem coincidental, but as the body count rises, it becomes clear that a killer is lurking within the big top’s shadows.
Smoke and mirrors concealing love and hate.
After a third performer turns up dead, the newly formed FBI Violent Crimes Unit in Washington, DC is called in to investigate. For FBI Special Agent Emma Last, the case is a chance to prove herself to her new SSA—and a welcome distraction from the ghosts who’ve invaded her life.
As Emma delves deeper into the twisted world of the circus, she begins to see things that can't be explained. And when the animal rights activists outside the fairgrounds grow increasingly aggressive, the team must protect the performers from both outside threats and their own dark secrets.
Secrets worth killing over.
When the investigation takes a sinister turn, Emma knows she's not the only one haunted by ghosts. With each shocking revelation, she's forced to confront the terrifying truth...someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the circus's secrets buried.
By turns thrilling and jaw-dropping, Last Breath is the first book in the exciting new FBI mystery series from bestselling author Mary Stone—where you’ll realize the show must go on...no matter the cost.

About the book
The world is falling apart. She’s trying to build something new.
In 2020s California, fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside the walls of a gated community—safe from the fires, famine, and violence consuming the outside world. But safety is an illusion, and Lauren knows it won’t last.

Her vision becomes Earthseed—a radical new belief in shaping the future through change.
Octavia E. Butler’s masterpiece is more than a dystopia. It’s a prophecy. And it’s never felt more urgent.

About the book
Houses fall into the ocean. That’s nothing new. But when one washes back ashore, everything changes.
A storm brings the impossible to a quiet Pacific Northwest island. A drowned house reappears on the beach, and Simon Culpepper disappears without a trace. Only two people care enough to search for him—childhood friends Melissa and Leo, though “friends” may be generous.
What begins as a rescue mission turns into something far more chilling. As they uncover the house’s twisted past and the darkness it carries, they realize some things never stay buried.
Secrets rot. Rivalries fester. And something ancient is waiting just beneath the floorboards.
Marrowstone Island is no longer safe. The house has returned. And it remembers everything.

A private island house with a buried history becomes the perfect place for dread to take root.
Wild Fell
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Occult Horror
Our take
A private island house with a buried history becomes the perfect place for dread to take root. In Wild Fell, Jameson Browning retreats to a long-abandoned estate on Blackmore Island, only to find himself pulled into a haunting shaped by local disappearances, unstable memory, and a past that refuses to stay sealed. It fits readers looking for an atmospheric ghost story with a creeping psychological edge.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An unforgettable contemporary ghost story in the tradition of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw from the award-winning author of October.
Rising from the fog over the waters of Devil's Lake, Blackmore Island is home to the infamous summerhouse called Wild Fell. A sinister past lies within its walls, and rumors of teenagers disappearing nearby have become the stuff of local legend. The townspeople do their best to avoid the place, and no one has lived there for over fifty years—until now.
Jameson Browning is ready for a break from all the drama in his life when he discovers an ad in the newspaper for a turn-of-the-century estate on a private island in Georgian Bay. It's a good location, and the price is a steal. How could he say no?
Except something is waiting inside the house for Jameson, ready to show him his senses can't always be trusted and the past isn't always gone forever . . .
"A novel for lovers of fine storytelling; a book that evokes terrors both ancient and modern . . . Wild Fell is supernatural fiction of the highest order." —Clive Barker, author of The Scarlet Gospels
"Deeply textured, richly imagined, and with characters that leap from the book, Wild Fell is an atmospheric ghost story that grips from the first page. A fine novel that is destined to become a classic." —Tim Lebbon, New York Times–bestselling author of the Relics series

About the book
There’s nowhere more dangerous than Olympus—unless you count faking a relationship with its golden god.
Cassandra Gataki knows better than to trust the Thirteen. After her family’s downfall, survival means keeping her head down and her heart locked up. But when Apollo—Olympus’s dangerously charming spymaster—asks her to pose as his lover at a week-long power-player party, she agrees… with conditions.
He gets secrets. She gets freedom for her and her sister.
But as tension sparks into something hotter than strategy, and secrets start slipping through the cracks, Cassandra realizes she may have traded one prison for another.
Olympus is teetering. An unknown enemy is watching. And the one man she swore she’d never need might be the only one who can protect her.
Or ruin her completely.

About the book
I was trapped in my life, until the day a dragon slammed down in the middle of my village and burned it all to the ground.
Taken from everything I’ve ever known and thrust into a world I don’t understand, I discover I was more trapped than I realized. But my family is still all I have and I need to get back to them.
This place of magic, and dragons and ryders, and powers I could have never dreamed of, overwhelms me and I can’t find my footing. The only solid thing to hold on to is him. Nyx. The creature who stole me away. And I don’t know if I like him or loathe him, but he needs my help.
For Nyx to take his place among the other dragons in the King’s Army we have to meld. Apparently it’s what you do when you are the destined ryder of the Dragon of the Night. But I don’t know anything about magic, or why mine is blocked, and an undead army threatens everything, and the clock is ticking
So I make a deal with him.
I’ll help him if he helps me find my family.

About the book
Football never scared me. Neither did owning my sexuality. But Ciaráin Grady? He’s a whole different beast.
I thought I was tough. I’ve taken hits, been dragged through the mud, and still stood tall. Then Ciaráin crashed into my life like a storm in cleats, all sharp words and angry eyes. Every interaction cuts, every stare dares me to flinch.
But behind the fury, there’s heat. Underneath the hate, there’s hunger. I see it, even if he doesn’t want me to.
When brutal circumstances force us together, everything gets murky. The lines between enemy, lover, obsession, and something far more dangerous start to blur.
He’s my biggest rival. He might be my ruin. Or maybe, just maybe, he’s the one thing that breaks me open.
