About the book
After a car crash kills his girlfriend, Michael Spencer wakes up in a small-town Montana hospital, battered but alive—or so he thinks.
The townspeople are friendly. Charming, even. He’s recovering well. There’s even a beautiful local girl showing interest. But as days pass, things start to feel… off. People disappear without a word. Strangers come and go, unnoticed. No one talks about those who vanish.
Then his new girlfriend goes missing. And what began as a recovery becomes a descent into the unimaginable.
As Michael searches for answers, he begins to suspect the unthinkable: he might already be dead. But the truth lurking beneath this perfect little town is far worse.
Community is a chilling, slow-burn horror from master storyteller Graham Masterton—with a twist you’ll never see coming.

Our take
In Kindred, Octavia E. Butler’s time-travel masterpiece, a Black woman is pulled from 1976 to a slave plantation in 1800s Maryland—forced to ensure the birth of her family line by protecting the white man who assaults her ancestor. Hailed as visionary and precise, this groundbreaking classic confronts slavery’s legacy with unflinching power. 4.7 stars on Amazon.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Experience the time travel science fiction classic from the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower and winner of the MacArthur “Genius” Grant, Nebula, and Hugo Awards.
A modern Black woman is pulled through time to face the horrors of slavery in this “Great American Novel” about racism, sexism, and white supremacy—then and now (The Atlantic).
“I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.”
Dana’s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner’s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present.
Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction’s oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. “Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise” (New York Times).
“Reading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it’s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.”

About the book
Some monsters just need to be tamed.
The Dark Wolf God was a monster of legend—a shifter so powerful that he could lay waste to the world and make alphas bow before him. I didn’t believe he was real. Then four weeks ago, he attacked my pack and nearly ended my life.
Now he’s claimed me.
When a war with the fae threatens his realm, he tears me from my world and makes me his captive. He believes I have the power to free him from a curse, but unless I figure out what kind of magic I have, he’ll never let me go. He’s my enemy, but there’s no denying the heat between us or the bond that ties us together.
Should I defy the monster, or could the man behind the beast be redeemed?
If you love alpha heroes with dark souls, tortured pasts, and an obsession with the woman who could bring them to their knees, sink your teeth into this enemies-to-lovers paranormal/fantasy romance.

About the book
New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller from the acclaimed author of the Shatter Me series! Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic romantasy series inspired by Persian mythology.
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.
The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new romantasy series from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award–nominated author Tahereh Mafi.
“In a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizeh’s own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.” —Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours
“This Woven Kingdom is an exquisite fantasy. Rich with clever prose, delicious twists, and breathtaking world building. Prepare to be destroyed—this one will wrench at your heart and make it pound, and in the end it will leave you entirely speechless.” —Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

About the book
I’m the Human Queen in a world ruled by shifters—and every beast wants me dead.
When a brutal pack invades my castle, I escape to the one place no enemy dares follow: the territory of the infamous Blood Pack. Their Alpha is ruthless. Their laws are brutal. And now they think I’m one of them.
To survive, I must become a monster in disguise.

As his chosen mate, I’m tangled in lies, secrets, and deadly desire. If they discover who I really am, I’ll suffer a fate worse than death.
Soul of the Pack is a swoony, savage shifter romance where survival means seduction—and the queen plays her most dangerous role yet.

In flood-soaked Florence, a young American book conservator uncovers a forbidden erotic manuscript and begins a passionate affair with a married art restorer.

About the book
Florence, with its crumbling frescoes and secretive charm, is a city of passion—and preservation.
Margot Harrington, a 29-year-old American book conservator, has come to restore a convent’s flood-damaged library. But when she uncovers a rare 16th-century erotic manuscript—banned by the Vatican and long thought destroyed—she’s pulled into a delicate scheme: sell it to save the convent, without alerting the bishop.
At the same time, Margot becomes entangled with a married art historian working to preserve Italy’s vanishing masterpieces. Their bond, both intellectual and illicit, deepens into a sensual awakening that blurs the line between sacred and profane.
Set against the richly textured backdrop of Florence, this “elegantly moving” novel (New Yorker) explores art, desire, and the quiet rebellion of a woman daring to live for both.

Swimming in the Dark
LGBTQIA+ · Literary Fiction
Our take
Swimming in the Dark is a lyrical, aching debut set in Communist Poland, where forbidden love and political unrest collide. A Dua Lipa Book Club pick and NPR Best Book of the Year, Tomasz Jedrowski’s 4.6-star novel follows two men whose romance and ideals place them on opposite sides of a collapsing regime.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In 1980s Communist Poland, love is dangerous—and freedom even more so.
When Ludwik meets Janusz during a summer agricultural camp, their connection is immediate and electrifying. What begins as a cautious friendship turns into an all-consuming romance, fueled by stolen moments, shared dreams, and a tattered copy of Giovanni’s Room. But passion has no place in a repressive regime, and returning to Warsaw forces each man to choose a path.
Janusz rises through the political ranks. Ludwik, disillusioned and restless, leans toward protest and resistance.
As politics, secrets, and survival wedge them apart, Swimming in the Dark becomes not just a love story, but a haunting meditation on identity, loyalty, and the price of personal freedom.
Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, this debut is lyrical, intimate, and unforgettable.

About the book
Ripped from her mother's arms . . .
Betrayed by her country . . .
Russia's silent assassin becomes . . .
America's Avenging Angel
When former Russian SVR Captain Anastasia “Anya” Burinkova defected to the United States, the life she imagined was far from the one she discovered. As the freedom she’s longed for turns to little more than imprisonment, her deadly skill set, forged and honed behind the Iron Curtain, is the only key that can possibly unshackle her.
A late-night vigilante mission under the veil of darkness turns from vendetta to entrapment in an instant. What should’ve been a mission to right decades-old injustices becomes a deadly encounter with federal agents determined to turn the assassin into an indentured servant.
With terrifying glimpses inside the modern-day Russian Mafia in the United States, this non-stop thriller takes the reader into the hedonistic streets of Miami’s South Beach, where millionaires play alongside The Bratva – The Brotherhood – of former Russian prisoners and current international criminals bent on breaking every rule to collect what they believe the world owes them.
Loosely based on actual events following the fall of the Soviet Union, The Russian’s Pride takes readers on a harrowing march through an underworld they likely never knew existed right under their noses. Book number one in the Avenging Angel – Seven Deadly Sins Series lures readers into the murderous foyer of the Russkaya Mafiya. The remainder of the series promises to explore the darkest, deadliest, corners of every room.
