About the book
An Instant USA Today Bestseller!
"Our favourite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy return in this delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant romcom about all the ways love can grow." —Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
They fake-dated their way into love. Now it's time to face the one thing scarier than falling for someone—figuring out how to stay in love.
From Alexis Hall, the USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, comes a hilariously heartfelt sequel about love, identity, and the absolute madness of wedding season.
Husband Material reunites readers with Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood as they navigate the next chapter in their beautifully chaotic relationship. They're committed. They're happy. But when everyone around them starts tying the knot—often in extravagant, anxiety-inducing fashion—Luc begins to question whether "forever" needs a formal dress code.
This isn't a story about falling in love. It's about everything that comes after: the growing pains, the missteps, the tender, terrifying truth of building a life together in a world full of expectations.
You'll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice; full of sharp humor, emotional vulnerability, and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It's perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive.

About the book
Brennan didn’t plan to become a vampire. He barely managed to re-enroll in college after a suicide attempt. Now he’s bloodthirsty, immortal, and pretending everything is fine.
It’s not.

As Brennan navigates vampire puberty, cryptic clan politics, and awkward first love, things get even messier. A student goes missing. Animal attacks hit too close to campus. And his new undead life might not be as “good” as advertised.
With his heart on the line and danger creeping in, Brennan must decide who he really wants to be—fangs, flaws, and all.

Eli Francis is stuck. Stuck in an assistant position at the online magazine Vent when he should be a writer. Stuck with a boss who dangles a promotion but would rather he just fetch the coffee. Stuck working alongside the ex who has had no trouble moving up at work…or moving on.
When Eli’s roommates push him to date so he can get over his ex once and for all, they set him up with Peter Park. Tall, handsome, and unbelievably awkward. The date is a complete disaster, and further proof to Eli that love isn’t for him. But when his boss overhears Eli recounting the catastrophic night, he suggests teaching Peter to be a better boyfriend through a series of simulated dates so he can write an article about it.
But Eli has other ideas…Eli plays along, pretending to write the article, while secretly interviewing Peter about growing up queer in the South and coming-of-age dating wise in adulthood. Eli hopes writing this sort of piece will finally get him the promotion he deserves. And in exchange, he will teach Peter how to be a better boyfriend.
But the more time Eli spends with Peter, the closer they become, and the lines between what’s real and what’s fake begin to blur. Before long Eli is forced to face his greatest fears to become the writer he wants to be and secure the love he’s always needed.

From acclaimed horror writer Thomas Ligotti comes a terrifying work of nonfiction.
The Conspiracy against the Human Race
Horror · Gothic Romance
Our take
From acclaimed horror writer Thomas Ligotti comes a terrifying work of nonfiction. The Conspiracy against the Human Race blends philosophy, neuroscience, and literary critique into a chilling case for pessimism. With 4.5 stars on Amazon and a cult following, this book confronts the darkest question of all: what if the real horror is life itself?
Choose your retailer
About the book
What if the true horror of existence isn’t the monsters we imagine but the act of being alive?
In his first nonfiction work, acclaimed horror author Thomas Ligotti pulls back the veil not on fantasy, but on reality itself. Combining philosophical pessimism, literary analysis, and neuroscience, Ligotti constructs a chilling argument: human consciousness is a cosmic mistake, and our desperate belief in meaning is a comforting illusion.
This is not horror for entertainment. It is horror as revelation.
Ligotti invites readers into a mirror-dark world where suffering is universal, free will is a myth, and optimism is just another delusion. Bleak, brilliant, and strangely freeing, this book doesn’t ask if you’re ready to face the truth.
It quietly suggests you never were.

About the book
Six years ago, Niall Gilpatrick disappeared. The activist nearly died running from the same darkness he spent his career fighting. Now he lives quietly as a park ranger in the Shenandoah Mountains, where the only thing haunting him should be the fog.
Instead, it’s a demon.
Chance Curn isn’t just a dream. He’s real. Sent to tempt Niall into selling his soul, the ancient Irish demon expected fear or resistance, not longing. Not tenderness.
But feelings? Those were not part of the assignment.
As desire builds and an evil plot surfaces, both Niall and Chance are forced to choose between the roles they were given and the future they want.
Trust is risky. Love is worse. And something in the woods wants to silence them both for good.

Grief and desire make a volatile mix in Flirting with Trouble, where one impulsive night refuses to stay in the past.
Flirting with Trouble
Romance · RomCom
Our take
Grief and desire make a volatile mix in Flirting with Trouble, where one impulsive night refuses to stay in the past. Victoria, still struggling to move forward after loss, expects escape, not attachment, while Wells Silver is far more serious than his playboy reputation suggests. This small-town romance blends heat, emotional recovery, and persistent pursuit into a story about risking connection after heartbreak.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Forgetting playboy Wells Silver was supposed to be easy. If only he didn’t make it impossible. Secrets are made on the sandy shores and in the sweet small towns of Silver Island, where friendships run deep, passions run hot, and the sexy Silvers are considered island royalty. Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right in and devour this fun, steamy romance.
Being born into the Silver empire comes with certain expectations, but charming restaurant owner Wells Silver has always taken pleasure in breaking the rules—in his personal and his professional life.
Victoria Braden never expected to become a widow at thirty-two, much less still be trying to figure out how to move on five years later. She’d planned to drown her sorrows in alcohol on what would have been her anniversary, not flirt with trouble and lose herself in a night of passion with Silver Island royalty, playboy Wells Silver. Forgetting Wells was supposed to be easy. But apparently the pushy player didn’t get the memo.
Tropes: He falls first, age gap, widow heroine, opposites attract

Eclipse the Moon

About the book
Acclaimed author Jessie Mihalik returns with an exciting new novel about a rainbow-haired female bounty hunter tasked with preventing an interstellar war.
Kee Ildez has been many things: hacker, soldier, bounty hunter. She never expected to be a hero, but when a shadowy group of traitors starts trying to goad the galaxy’s two superpowers into instigating an interstellar war, Kee throws herself into the search to find out who is responsible—and stop them.
Digging up hidden information is her job, so hunting traitors should be a piece of cake, but the primary suspect spent years in the military, and someone powerful is still covering his tracks. Disrupting their plans will require the help of her entire team, including Varro Runkow, a Valovian weapons expert who makes her pulse race.
Quiet, grumpy, and incredibly handsome, Varro watches her with hot eyes but ignores all of her flirting, so Kee silently vows to keep her feelings strictly platonic. But that vow will be put to the test when she and Varro are forced to leave the safety of their ship and venture into enemy territory alone.
Cut off from the rest of their team, they must figure out how to work together—and fast—because a single misstep will cost thousands of lives.
