About the book
A gifted teenager whose ancestor inspired a literary classic descends into a mystical under-land in this romantic, dark fantasy series debut.
Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice's tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice's mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.
"Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll's Alice in all her revisionings (especially Tim Burton's), will find a lot to love in this compelling and imaginative novel." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
"Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale." —USA Today
"Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising." —The Boston Globe
"It's a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children's fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original." —Booklist
"Howard's visual imagination is superior; a cavalcade of weirdness dances across the pages. . . . The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole." —Publishers Weekly

About the book
Before she was the Queen of Hearts, she was just a girl with flour on her hands and a dream in her heart.

Then she meets Jest, the court joker with secrets tucked beneath every grin. Their whirlwind romance is dangerous, forbidden, and utterly intoxicating.
As magic coils through the kingdom and monsters begin to stir, Cath learns that dreams come at a price. The kind that can twist a love story into a tragedy.
Wonderland didn’t make her a villain. It broke her first.

This urban fantasy flips Wonderland on its head.
A Blade So Black
Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
This urban fantasy flips Wonderland on its head. With 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, A Blade So Black delivers monsters, magic, and mayhem in a version of Atlanta where Nightmares are real and high school is still the worst. L.L. McKinney’s genre-bending debut is fierce, funny, and totally unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Monsters are real, and they look nothing like the storybooks promised.
Alice barely survived her first encounter with a Nightmare, but she didn’t run. She trained. Now, armed with enchanted blades and serious combat skills, she keeps Wonderland’s horrors in check, when she’s not battling curfews, calculus, and her mom’s texts.
But when her mentor is poisoned, everything spirals. To save him, Alice must plunge even deeper into Wonderland, a realm more twisted and lethal than any nightmare. One wrong step and she’s toast, or decapitated. Same difference.
Juggling two worlds is harder than it looks. Especially when one wants you dead and the other wants your report card.
Can Alice find the antidote in time, or will Wonderland claim another head for its collection?

About the book
I was supposed to seduce the dragon king, but before I could, he claimed me as his.
Now I’m chained to him, trapped in an ancient mating process I neither want nor understand.
I’ve got to get out, but there’s only one way to do that now—and it involves a much more permanent type of shackle.
I have no idea what will happen if I agree to be the king’s mate, but one thing's for sure…
My life will never be the same again.

A grizzly shifter.
OctoBEARfest
Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
A grizzly shifter. A rock musician mix-up. And a brewery on the brink. OctoBEARfest by Murphy Lawless and C. E. Murphy is a steamy, feel-good shifter romance filled with fall vibes, music, and a happily ever after you’ll want to toast to. Set in the Virtue Shifters world, this story is the perfect cozy escape with a side of bear.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Grizzly shifter Bill Torben is dedicated to one thing: saving his family’s struggling brewery. Love can wait. Or so he thinks.
Enter Gwen Booker, the wrong musician with exactly the right vibe. Hired by mistake for the annual OctoBEARfest celebration, Gwen is all rock and fire instead of smooth jazz, but Bill is immediately hooked. She’s talented, gorgeous, and unexpectedly perfect for the festival, the brewery, and maybe even his bear heart.
As sparks fly and music fills the air, Bill and Gwen must navigate mistaken identities, growing attraction, and a shared dream that’s bigger than either of them.
OctoBEARfest is a cozy, steamy shifter romance with craft beer, second chances, and the kind of happy ending that pairs perfectly with a fall evening and a pint.

A plague is spreading.
Golden Hood
Romantasy
Our take
A plague is spreading. A vigilante is blamed. And a vampire lord is watching. Golden Hood kicks off Annabel Chase’s sharp urban fantasy trilogy with 4.4 Amazon stars and a sassy, spell-slinging heroine who steals from the powerful. Add werewolves, magic, and a touch of forbidden heat—this Robin Hood retelling flips the fangs-and-fantasy game on its head.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They call her Golden Hood. Thief. Hero. Target.
By day, she’s a shadow in The Wild, stealing from the vampire elite and helping those they’d rather bleed dry. With her loyal werewolf crew and one very cranky wizard, she’s untouchable—until a deadly plague starts wiping out humans, and everyone’s looking to her for answers. Including Lord Doran, the vampire commander whose glare could fry a coven.
Their uneasy alliance sizzles with tension, but desire is a distraction she can’t afford—especially when someone’s framing her for murder.
The body count is rising. The politics are bloodthirsty. And if she plays her hand wrong, she’ll lose more than just her secrets.
Golden Hood is a fierce, fast-paced fantasy where power hides behind a cloak, and the hunter can easily become the hunted.

Prince of Air and Darkness
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Gay Romance
Our take
Phineas Smith, the only human student at a magical school, possesses uncontrollable power coveted by both Faerie Courts. As civil war approaches, he forms a dangerous alliance with his Unseelie roommate and longtime rival, Roark Lyne, with a 4.4-star rating from more than 900 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who like MM fantasy romance, magical schools, fae politics, enemies-to-lovers tension, and reluctant alliances.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Phineas Smith has been cursed with a power no one could control. Roark Lyne is his worst enemy and his only hope. First in the Darkest Court series.
The only human student at Mather's School of Magick, Phineas Smith has a target on his back. Born with the rare ability to tap into unlimited magick, he finds both Faerie Courts want his allegiance—and will do anything to get it.
They don't realize he can't levitate a feather, much less defend the Faerie Realm as it slips into civil war.
Unseelie Prince Roark Lyne—Phineas's roommate and self-proclaimed arch nemesis—is beautiful and brave and a pain in the ass. Phineas can't begin to sort through their six years of sexual tension masquerading as mutual dislike. But Roark is also the only one able to help Finn tame his magick.
Trusting Roark's mysterious motives may be foolish; not accepting his temporary protection would be deadly.
Caught in the middle of the impending war, Phineas and Roark forge a dangerous alliance. And as the walls between them crumble, Phineas realizes that Roark isn't the monster he'd imagined. But their growing intimacy threatens to expose a secret that could either turn the tide of the war . . . or destroy them both.

A Hell king.
The Wrath

Our take
A Hell king. A harpy oracle. One mission to stop a resurrection—or start a war.

She was supposed to seduce the dragon king.
The Dragon King’s Mate
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
She was supposed to seduce the dragon king. Instead, he claimed her. The Dragon King's Mate by Lola Glass is a fiery romantasy packed with forced proximity, ancient magic, and one mating bond that changes everything. With 4.4 stars and a Beauty and the Beast–inspired twist, this steamy series starter will leave you breathless—and begging for book two.
Choose your retailer
About the book
She was sent to seduce the dragon king—not get claimed by him.
But before she can make her move, he makes his: binding her to him in an ancient, unbreakable mating process she never asked for.
Now she’s stuck in the dragon’s lair—chained by magic, torn between escape and something far more dangerous: desire.
Her only way out? Accept the bond and become his queen. But if she agrees, it won’t just cost her freedom—it could reshape her fate forever.
Inspired by Beauty and the Beast with a scorching, dragon-sized twist, The Dragon King’s Mate is the first in a steamy fantasy series that blends forced proximity, sizzling slow burn, and a possessive alpha who doesn’t play fair.
This kingdom’s burning. So is their chemistry.

About the book
Hazbin Hotel meets Crescent City in the otherworldly urban fantasy romance series from New York Times bestseller Piper CJ.
"How does a human girl lose the Prince of Hell?"
Marlow needs to believe she's crazy. The alternative would mean embracing the gift—or curse—shared by her mother and grandmother: she can see angels and demons, including a dark and haunting entity who's been with Marlow her entire life. At least, she believes that's all he is until a fae from the Nordic pantheon strolls into her life and informs her that she's been sharing a bed with the Prince of Hell.
A Prince who's now gone missing.
Before she knows it, Marlow is deeply entangled in a centuries-old war, stumbling straight into a battleground between mighty beings of myth and legend from powerful pantheons around the world. And who will come out on top may just depend on her and the love she never dared to believe in.

The Queen of Blood
Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Coming of Age
Our take
In a land where every tree, stream, and breeze has a spirit, and all of them want humans dead, one queen stands between survival and destruction. The Queen of Blood is the first book in Sarah Beth Durst’s epic fantasy series set in the world of Renthia.

About the book

Only the queen stands between civilization and destruction, wielding power strong enough to keep the spirits at bay. But queens are mortal. Fallible. And the spirits are growing restless.
Daleina never dreamed of ruling. She isn’t the strongest or the most gifted, but after witnessing the horrors of an unchecked spirit attack, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her home. Ven, a disgraced warrior, has made it his mission to fight those spirits by any means necessary.
Together, they uncover a danger no one saw coming.

She’s an assassin.
Dragonhart
Romantasy
Our take
She’s an assassin. He’s the enemy. And dragons might be their only hope. Abbie Eaton’s Dragonhart is the 2025 fantasy debut drawing raves from fans of Fourth Wing and Throne of Glass. With enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a stabby heroine you’ll root for, this 4.1-star hit is pure romantasy magic. The dragons are calling—are you ready?
Choose your retailer
About the book
The dragons are gone. The kingdoms are collapsing. And Arla Reinhart? She’s not here to play nice.
As the King’s personal assassin, Arla lives by two rules: don’t trust anyone, and never forget who killed your family. But when royal shipments vanish and the gods go suspiciously silent, Arla’s forced into a mission she didn’t choose—alongside the one man she hates most: Hark Stappen, an infuriating ambassador from the kingdom that stole everything from her.
Together, they’ll dine with royals, fight through taverns, and uncover truths that could bring back dragons—or end what’s left of the world.
Expect banter, betrayal, magic, and slow-burn rage-to-romance in this fantasy debut that’s already drawing comparisons to Fourth Wing and Throne of Glass.
She wanted revenge. What she found could burn kingdoms.
