Shizuka Satomi made a deal with the devil: to escape damnation, she must entice seven other violin prodigies to trade their souls for success. She has already delivered six.
When Katrina Nguyen, a young transgender runaway, catches Shizuka's ear with her wild talent, Shizuka can almost feel the curse lifting. She's found her final candidate.
But in a donut shop off a bustling highway in the San Gabriel Valley, Shizuka meets Lan Tran, retired starship captain, interstellar refugee, and mother of four. Shizuka doesn't have time for crushes or coffee dates, what with her very soul on the line, but Lan's kind smile and eyes like stars might just redefine a soul's worth. And maybe something as small as a warm donut is powerful enough to break a curse as vast as the California coastline.
As the lives of these three women become entangled by chance and fate, a story of magic, identity, curses, and hope begins, and a family worth crossing the universe for is found.

The Stars too Fondly
LGBTQIA+ · Sci-Fi
Our take
Cleo and her friends didn’t mean to steal a spaceship—yet a rogue dark matter engine sends them hurtling toward Proxima Centauri with a sarcastic hologram of the missing captain as their guide. As physics bends and old mysteries resurface, Cleo’s prickly bond with Billie deepens into something far more dangerous and tender. A sapphic, high-spirited space adventure from Emily Hamilton.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In her breathtaking debut—part space odyssey, part sapphic rom-com—Emily Hamilton weaves a suspenseful, charming, and irresistibly joyous tale of fierce friendship, improbable love, and wonder as vast as the universe itself.
So, here’s the thing: Cleo and her friends really, truly didn’t mean to steal this spaceship.
They just wanted to know why, twenty years ago, the entire Providence crew vanished without a trace. But then the stupid dark matter engine started all on its own, and now these four twenty-somethings are en route to Proxima Centauri, unable to turn around, and being harangued by a snarky hologram that has the face and attitude of the ship’s missing captain, Billie.
Cleo has dreamt of being an astronaut all her life, and Earth is kind of a lost cause at this point, so this should be one of those blessings in disguise that people talk about. But as the ship gets deeper into space, the laws of physics start twisting, old mysteries come crawling back to life, and Cleo’s initially combative relationship with Billie turns into something deeper and more desperate than either woman was prepared for.
Lying somewhere in the subspace between science fantasy and sapphic rom-com, The Stars Too Fondly is a soaring near-future adventure about dark matter and alternate dimensions, leaving home and finding family, and the galaxy-saving power of letting yourself love and be loved.

About the book
In the jianghu, you break the law to make it your own.
Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor's soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job.
Until a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away.
Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats.
Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.

A good pick for readers who like character-focused space opera, found-family crews, military science fiction, mysteries, and threats unfolding across a larger series.
The Ghosts of Trappist
LGBTQIA+ · Sci-Fi
Our take
As Zuma’s Ghost prepares for another Boarding Games run, Sapphi Zika is struggling with strange pleas for help in the Verge while missing freighters and a growing threat around Trappist put the NeoG on alert. It has a 4.1-star average from more than 400 Goodreads ratings. A good pick for readers who like character-focused space opera, found-family crews, military science fiction, mysteries, and threats unfolding across a larger series.
Choose your retailer
About the book
“A rollicking space adventure” (Locus), military sci-fi meets found family space opera when the crew of Zuma’s Ghost find themselves under attack, shocking truths are about to be exposed, and the NeoG--the Coast Guard in space--is once again called to action!
Ensign Nell “Sapphi” Zika has been working hard to get past her trauma, but the unnerving pleas for help she’s hearing in the Verge and the song she can’t get out of her head are making that increasingly difficult. As Zuma’s Ghost gears up for a final run at the Boarding Games, their expert hacker is feeling anything but confident. Plus, her chief’s robot dog, Doge, is acting weird—a computer problem she can’t find an answer to—and the increasing number of missing freighters is putting everyone living on or stationed around Trappist on edge.
It doesn’t help the NeoG’s mission that Dread Treasure is sidelined from competing in the Boarding Games, and Commander D’Arcy Montaglione is stuck on the front lines of the mystery of the missing ships while also stuck in his own head. Never good at trusting people to begin with, he’s struggling to piece together his new crew in the aftermath of a great betrayal, knowing this may be his final chance at command. The last thing he wants to do is prove his enemies right and end up getting shoved behind a desk and forgotten. The easy answer to missing ships is pirates, but D’Arcy soon realizes the easiest answer is rarely the right one out in the vacuum of space. What’s worse is that the actual pirates are scared of something out beyond the asteroid belt. Something that’s been taking their ships too…
As the unknowns multiply and one of their mysterious enemies escalates by launching an attack on the NeoG itself, the Interceptor crews must brave both cyber and outer space to hunt down their foes, but no one is prepared for the truth that is revealed or the way it will shake the foundations of everything they believe about the universe.

Befriended by a compassionate geneticist, Mary Vaughan, Ponter finds hope in their bond, even as he grapples with the alien strangeness of modern humanity.
Back in his world, Ponter’s partner, Adikor Huld, faces suspicion and a murder trial after Ponter’s mysterious disappearance. With time running out, both must navigate danger and distrust to restore the balance between their universes.
As humans and Neanderthals struggle with conflict and connection, their contact sparks profound questions about survival, identity, and the possibilities of shared growth—or destruction.

About the book
Wolfsong is the beginning of the Green Creek Series, the beloved fantasy romance sensation by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, about love, loyalty, betrayal, and family.
“Wolfsong is so well written that I'm in awe of TJ Klune's talent.” —Charlaine Harris
The Bennett family has a secret: They're not just a family, they're a pack. Wolfsong is Ox Matheson's story.
Oxnard Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a lesson: Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then his father left.
Ox was sixteen when the energetic Bennett family moved in next door, harboring a secret that would change him forever. The Bennetts are shapeshifters. They can transform into wolves at will. Drawn to their magic, loyalty, and enduring friendships, Ox feels a gulf between this extraordinary new world and the quiet life he’s known, but he finds an ally in Joe, the youngest Bennett boy.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his heart. Violence flared, tragedy split the pack, and Joe left town, leaving Ox behind. Three years later, the boy is back. Except now he’s a man – charming, handsome, but haunted – and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.
The Green Creek Series is for adult readers.

Ren Yu devotes her life to swimming, believing speed and discipline will earn her love, opportunity, and safety.
Chlorine
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+
Our take
Ren Yu devotes her life to swimming, believing speed and discipline will earn her love, opportunity, and safety. Yet the water awakens a deeper longing shaped by stories of sirens and river spirits. As pressures close in, Ren pursues a transformation as dangerous as it is liberating. Chlorine is a dark, gripping novel of body, identity, and becoming.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ren Yu is a swimmer. Her daily life starts and ends with the pool. Her teammates are her only friends. Her coach is her guiding light. If she swims well enough, she will be scouted, get a scholarship, go to a good school. Her parents will love her. Her coach will be kind to her. She will have a good life.
But these are human concerns. These are the concerns of those confined to land, those with legs. Ren grew up on stories of creatures of the deep, of the oceans and the rivers. Creatures that called sailors to their doom. That dragged them down and drowned them. That feasted on their flesh. The creature that she’s always longed to become: the mermaid.
Ren aches to be in the water. She dreams of the scent of chlorine, the feel of it on her skin. And she will do anything she can to make a life for herself where she can be free. No matter the pain. No matter what anyone else thinks. No matter how much blood she has to spill.

Our take
In Greenhollow Forest, Tobias has found peace—until Henry Silver’s arrival disturbs the magic and memories long buried in the woods. As old secrets resurface, Tobias must face his dark past and the power within him. With Greenhollow’s future in peril, can he protect the forest and the man he’s grown to care for before the darkness consumes them?
Choose your retailer
About the book
In Greenhollow, the woods are alive—and so is the past.
Tobias lives a quiet, unassuming life in the heart of Greenhollow Forest. With his cottage, his cat, and the dryads who whisper in the trees, he’s perfectly content to ignore the shadows of his past. But when Henry Silver, an inquisitive and charming new owner, arrives at Greenhollow Hall, Tobias’s solitude is shattered.
Henry’s curiosity awakens more than old memories—it stirs the green magic of the woods and the dangerous secrets buried within. As long-forgotten forces rise, Tobias must confront the power he’s spent years trying to forget and the darkness that lies at the forest’s heart.
Can Tobias protect the woods, the man he’s come to care for, and himself—or will Greenhollow’s secrets consume them all?

The Unspoken Name
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Portal Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
With 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon, The Unspoken Name is a fierce, wildly imaginative epic fantasy debut. A priestess destined for sacrifice becomes an assassin in service to a power-hungry mage. Between ruined gods, ancient magic, and political intrigue, Csorwe’s journey twists from survival to rebellion. Perfect for fans of Le Guin, Muir, and Martine.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Csorwe was destined to die. Raised in a death cult, she knew the day and the hour she would climb the mountain and offer her life to the Unspoken God.
But when a powerful mage offers her a sword instead of a grave, Csorwe chooses defiance. She trades prophecy for purpose, becoming an assassin, a spy, and the reluctant weapon of a wizard chasing his lost power.
Across ruined temples and warring empires, Csorwe cuts a path through gods, enemies, and the ghosts of the life she left behind. But some gods do not forget. And debts like hers are never forgiven.
A. K. Larkwood’s The Unspoken Name is a sharp, wildly imaginative epic of destiny defied, loyalty tested, and survival claimed by the blade.
