A mother’s love turns monstrous when survival demands more than obedience.
The Book Eaters
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+
Our take
A mother’s love turns monstrous when survival demands more than obedience. In The Book Eaters, Devon breaks from her secretive clan to protect her son, whose hunger reaches far beyond stories. It blends gothic fantasy with maternal horror, family control, and a darkly imaginative premise that turns books, knowledge, and appetite into something intimate and terrifying.

About the book
Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.
Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon—like all other book eater women—is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairy tales and cautionary stories.
But real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger—not for books, but for human minds.

About the book
In 1920s Appalachia, Leslie Bruin, a trans man, is sent to the backwoods town of Spar Creek as part of the Frontier Nursing Service. His mission is simple: vaccinate the locals, deliver babies, and endure the scrutiny of those who see him as a “failed woman.” Hardened by war and shaped by Paris, Leslie thinks he’s prepared for anything—until he arrives.
Beneath the surface, Spar Creek hides a festering darkness. A violent tension surrounds a young tomboy whom the local congregation seeks to control. As danger escalates, Leslie realizes the woods themselves are haunted, and time is running out.
Can Leslie confront both the town’s prejudice and the sinister forces lurking in the hills before it’s too late?

About the book
“What if I told you that the feeling we call love is actually the feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?”
In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue.
In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead.
And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they’ve met before.
Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them.
As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.

The Bones Beneath my Skin
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy
Our take
Nate Cartwright heads back to his family’s cabin with nothing left to lose and finds a stranger, a mysterious girl, and a situation that is about to get wildly out of hand. In The Bones Beneath My Skin, grief, danger, and found-family energy collide as Nate gets pulled into a supernatural chase involving cultists, the government, and a child who is far more extraordinary than she seems. It’s strange, heartfelt, and just the right amount of unsettling.

About the book
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER!
A spine-tingling standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune—a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government.
There's nothing more human than a broken heart.
In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.
With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.
Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.
Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

“An enchanting tale of Pinocchio in the end times.” —P. Djèlí Clark
In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots—fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labeled “HAP,” he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio–a past spent hunting humans.
When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.
Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached?
Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, and like Swiss Family Robinson meets Wall-E, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful stand-alone fantasy adventure from the beloved author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
“An epic quest of rescue and discovery [with] the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweetness.” —Library Journal, starred review

About the book
Where is everyone?
Twenty-five years ago, a message from deep space fractured Humanity. The transmission? Only one word: “Hello.” Half of Humanity wanted to explore it, while the other half wanted to hide. Despite the division, a megaship, called the Traveler, followed the signal through space. Its disappearance only solidified the divide and led to the bloodiest civil war across Humanity, the Sapien War. Ten years later, Humanity met aliens, but not the ones who sent the signal.
Today, Kasey Mako, one of the Traveler’s sons, investigates mysterious phenomena plaguing the galaxy. A virus and missing colony are just the tip of the iceberg for Kasey and the Galactic Union. As Kasey’s team of aliens and humans delve into the mystery, they discover these events aren’t random; they’re connected. They discover a more sinister plot that threatens not only the Union, but the entire galaxy.
