A woman made monstrous by rumor enters a marriage where power, prophecy, and violence already wait for her.
Lady Macbeth
Literary Fiction · Romantasy · Magical Realism
Our take
A woman made monstrous by rumor enters a marriage where power, prophecy, and violence already wait for her. Lady Macbeth reimagines Shakespeare’s infamous queen with a past of her own, following her through a hostile Scottish court where survival depends on strategy, hidden witchcraft, and the dangerous magic men fear most.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ava Reid comes a “masterful reimagining” (Publishers Weekly) of Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare’s most famous villainess, giving her a voice, a past, and a power that transforms the story men have written for her.
“Lady Macbeth doesn’t retell Shakespeare so much as slice cleanly through it, revealing what was hidden beneath. I couldn't look away.”—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
A CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
The Lady knows the stories: how her eyes induce madness in men.
The Lady knows she will be wed to the Scottish brute, who does not leave his warrior ways behind when he comes to the marriage bed.
The Lady knows his hostile, suspicious court will be a game of strategy, requiring all of her wiles and hidden witchcraft to survive.
But the Lady does not know her husband has occult secrets of his own. She does not know that prophecy girds him like armor. She does not know that her magic is greater and more dangerous, and that it will threaten the order of the world.
She does not know this yet. But she will.

Grief can turn memory into a haunting, especially when family history already carries its own ghosts.
Seeing Ghosts
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Grief can turn memory into a haunting, especially when family history already carries its own ghosts. In Seeing Ghosts, Kat Chow traces her mother’s death, her family’s migration from China and Hong Kong to Cuba and America, and the uneasy work of preserving what loss threatens to erase, creating a memoir about inheritance, mourning, and identity.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This "graceful, captivating" (New York Times Book Review) story from a singular new talent paints a portrait of grief and the search for meaning as told through the prism of three generations of her Chinese American family—perfect for readers of Helen Macdonald and Elizabeth Alexander.
Kat Chow has always been unusually fixated on death. She worried constantly about her parents dying---especially her mother. A vivacious and mischievous woman, Kat's mother made a morbid joke that would haunt her for years to come: when she died, she'd like to be stuffed and displayed in Kat's future apartment in order to always watch over her.
After her mother dies unexpectedly from cancer, Kat, her sisters, and their father are plunged into a debilitating, lonely grief. With a distinct voice that is wry and heartfelt, Kat weaves together a story of the fallout of grief that follows her extended family as they emigrate from China and Hong Kong to Cuba and America. Seeing Ghosts asks what it means to reclaim and tell your family’s story: Is writing an exorcism or is it its own form of preservation? The result is an extraordinary new contribution to the literature of the American family, and a provocative and transformative meditation on who we become facing loss.

A Salty Piece of Land
Mystery
Our take

About the book
Wander to "where the song of the ocean / Meets the salty piece of land" with Tully Mars, washed up from Margaritaville and in the mood for monkeyshines—in his shimmering Caribbean epic by the late king of tropical rock, Jimmy Buffett.

Waking from a ganja buzz on the beach in Tulum, Tully can't believe his eyes when a 142-foot schooner emerges out of the ocean mist. At its helm is Cleopatra Highbourne, the eccentric 101-year-old sea captain who will take him to a lighthouse on a salty piece of land that will change his life forever.
From a lovely sunset sail in Punta Margarita to a wild spring-break foam party in San Pedro, Tully encounters an assortment of treasure hunters, rock stars, sailors, seaplane pilots, pirates, and even a ghost or two.

Blade
Thriller
Our take
Blade returns a former Olympic hopeful to the elite skating world she escaped when her old coach is found murdered. Ana Robbins now works as a defense attorney, but defending the young skater accused of the crime forces her back into a remote training facility filled with buried fear, old secrets, and dangerous ambition.

About the book
From USA Today bestselling author—and former competitive skater—Wendy Walker comes a chilling psychological thriller set in the cutthroat world of elite figure skating.
Ana Robbins was an Olympic star in the making—until tragedy forced her to leave that world behind. At the age of sixteen, she gave up her dream and never looked back. Fourteen years later, she’s a successful defense attorney, revered for her work with minors. But when her former coach turns up dead, Ana lands right back where it all began, and abruptly ended: The Palace, a world-renowned skating facility nestled high in the mountains of Colorado.
Ana returns to The Palace to defend the young skater accused of the brutal crime—Grace Montgomery. Despite her claims of innocence, all evidence points squarely at Grace’s guilt, and she’s days away from facing charges of first-degree murder.
But Ana’s investigation dredges up childhood memories of her own, triggering the fear that permeates this place where she once lived and trained far from home as an “Orphan.” With a blizzard raging outside, and time running out for Grace, Ana is determined to uncover the truth—even if it means exposing her own secrets that she buried here long ago.

Nora Goes Off Script turns heartbreak into an unexpected second act when a romance screenwriter’s failed marriage becomes the script that changes her life.

About the book
"The perfect escape." —USA Today
"Readers who loved Emily Henry's Book Lovers are sure to savor Nora Goes Off Script." —Shelf Awareness
Named one of the Best Beach Reads of Summer by The Washington Post • USA Today • Cosmopolitan • Southern Living • Country Living • Business Insider • Buzzfeed • Book Riot • The Augusta Chronicle
Nora’s life is about to get a rewrite…
Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it’s her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage’s collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it’s picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne’er do well husband Nora’s life will never be the same.
The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He’ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it’s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it’s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.
Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story—the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.

The Last Good Man turns a carefully managed life into a dangerous emotional collision between control and obsession.
The Last Good Man
Romance · Jaime's Picks · Contemporary Romance · Romantic Suspense
Our take
The Last Good Man turns a carefully managed life into a dangerous emotional collision between control and obsession. Melody wants a polished, reliable match, but Jax brings younger heat, volatility, and a refusal to fit the future she planned. This reverse age gap romance belongs on the list for its slow-burn tension, opposites-attract pull, and messy attraction that keeps pushing past every sensible boundary.
Choose your retailer
About the book
She is a posh executive.
He is a stubborn green-eyed tattooed devil.
When Melody Hill runs into a stunning man at her therapist's door in Manhattan, she loses her breath for a second.
She's booked the best psychotherapist in New York to help her with finding Mr. Right, so she can check that off her list and be done with it.
Easier said than done.
From high–value men to high–quality men to real–life unable–to–commit men, her head is spinning, her dates only getting worse.
And then Jax London happens.
Tall, broody, with a taunting smile on his lips, he's there for anger management issues as part of his conditional release.
The odds couldn't be more against them.
He checks off virtually nothing on her list.
And he's a decade younger.
And he's a ruthless disruptor.
She is a woman with a plan, and so is he.
And he is her stalker before becoming her obsession.
Even so, she is convinced he's not the man for her.
But he knows better, and he is set to prove her wrong.
Author's Note: This is a slow burn standalone romance with spice. HEA at the end of the story.

Good Pucking Luck begins with a public heartbreak, then turns one viral disaster into a no-strings arrangement that refuses to stay simple.
Good Pucking Luck
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Travis' Picks · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Good Pucking Luck begins with a public heartbreak, then turns one viral disaster into a no-strings arrangement that refuses to stay simple. After a failed hockey-game proposal makes Hayes internet-famous for all the wrong reasons, he swears off relationships and agrees to keep things casual with pro player Rylan. This MM hockey romance blends second-chance vulnerability, physical chemistry, and the risk of trusting a heart labeled off-limits.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Good Pucking Luck is a fun, low-angst MM hockey romance with great chemistry and likable characters. Hayes and Rylan play off each other really well, even if the relationship feels a little too easy at times." - Apropos Books
Hayes
Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape.
One thing’s for sure: I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.
Rylan
After a night with Hayes, I play some of the best games of my career. It’s meant to be a one-and-done deal, but when I find out he also lives in LA and doesn’t want anything serious, I see an opportunity.
Hayes wants experience. I want my good-luck charm to help me win the cup.
The media would go wild over a pro hockey player dating a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club—a distraction neither of us needs. We want this to stay simple. Easy. No strings, no falling in love.
Except I’m pretty sure I’ve already fallen. After all Hayes has been through, how do I get him to entrust his heart to someone who’s only ever been labeled a player on and off the ice?

Playing Dirty turns a college rivalry into forbidden attraction when two baseball enemies become stepbrothers under the same roof.
Playing Dirty
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Travis' Picks · Bisexual Romance · College Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Playing Dirty turns a college rivalry into forbidden attraction when two baseball enemies become stepbrothers under the same roof. Madden Hastings has always been his nemesis, but their blended family forces old hostility into close quarters, where resentment starts to look dangerously like chemistry. This MM sports romance leans into rivalry, loyalty, and the messy line between hating someone and wanting them.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Playing Dirty was a fun, satisfying, and entertaining four-star read with great forbidden stepbrother tension, playful enemies-to-lovers banter, and chemistry that felt natural instead of forced. The rivalry felt more like flirting foreplay than overblown drama, and that worked so well." - Apropos Books
Our rivalry formed long before we became siblings.
Madden Hastings has been my nemesis since the day we met.
A divide was born from the age-old rivalry between our universities,
but this year, another layer developed. It became personal.
Because the captain of Blackmore’s baseball team?
He’s also my new step brother.
My disdain for the sudden blending of our families leads to more conflict,
and despite their efforts to force us together, coexisting proves impossible.
But something else starts burning beneath my bitterness and resentment;
an attraction as unexpected as it is potent.
And when the chemistry becomes too powerful to deny,
our already complicated relationship gets even messier.
Because a forbidden fling is one thing, but falling for the enemy?
It forces me into a choice I never wanted to make.
One between loyalty to my team, or the love of my life.
*Playing Dirty is the fourth in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring two rivalry-fueled step brothers, a cut-throat game of capture the flag, and sexual tension that oozes off the page. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Unbreak Me places first love in the quiet pressure of forced proximity, where emotional recovery and self-discovery begin on an unexpected farm.
Unbreak Me
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Travis' Picks · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Unbreak Me places first love in the quiet pressure of forced proximity, where emotional recovery and self-discovery begin on an unexpected farm. Sent away by his family to heal, one man finds himself out of place, over his head, and increasingly drawn to Jonathan Rosseau, the farmer who understands wounded animals and wounded people. This is a steamy MM romance about desire, identity, and finding steadiness in another person.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Unbreak Me is a slow-burn MM romance full of yearning, tenderness, and emotional vulnerability. The South African farm setting and forced proximity make Davy and Jonathan’s relationship feel intimate, safe, and transformative." - Apropos Books
I'm trapped in the middle of nowhere with the sexiest man I've ever seen...what could possibly go wrong?
My family sent me here thinking it would help lift my mood. When I think about it now, I realise I didn’t give nearly enough thought to what it would be like, or what I’d be doing on a farm. If anything, I had a vague, nebulous notion that it would be like some sort of retreat.
Boy, was I wrong.
Far from relaxing, I now find myself tending to actual sheep. If you knew me at all, you’d know how preposterous that is. When I’m not covered in dust from participating in manual labour, I spend my time confined in small spaces with the farmer, Jonathan Rosseau.
I was told he was good with animals and broken people. No-one mentioned the fact that he’s built like a tank and has the sort of facial features that makes my brain short circuit. No-one said a word about that.
With every day that passes, I find it harder and harder to tear my eyes off him.
Oh, God. I hope he can't feel the way I’m looking at him.
Unbreak Me is a steamy, swoon-y MM romance. It's a story about first love, finding your soulmate, and finding yourself in the process. To see if Unbreak Me is the book for you, use the 'Look inside' feature and scroll up to the copyright page

The Lesser Dead
Horror · Dark Fantasy
Our take
The Lesser Dead turns 1970s New York into a grimy vampire underworld where the hunters are not nearly as safe as they think. Joey Peacock has spent decades feeding, drifting through clubs, cabs, subways, and hidden tunnels with practiced ease, until strange undead children appear beneath Manhattan. This is vampire horror with sharp menace, urban decay, and a narrator who knows monsters can still be afraid.

About the book
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S BEST HORROR NOVEL OF THE YEAR
“As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs), Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his “genre-bending” (California Literary Review) novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet...
The secret is, vampires are real and I am one.
The secret is, I’m stealing from you what is most truly yours and I’m not sorry...
New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live. And die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody—he has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city’s sidewalks.
The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It’s almost too easy.
Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were.
And neither are the rest of us.

Electric Angel drops a hopeful scrapyard worker into a corporate-controlled future where survival depends on power she never asked to carry.
Electric Angel
Dystopian · Cyberpunk Dystopia
Our take
Electric Angel drops a hopeful scrapyard worker into a corporate-controlled future where survival depends on power she never asked to carry. After Juliet Bianchi receives a stolen AI chip from a dying stranger, her life shifts from scraping by with loyal friends to navigating violence, corruption, and abilities she barely understands. This is dystopian cyberpunk with class warfare, dangerous tech, and a heroine learning how hard she can hit back.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Enter a frighteningly familiar dystopian world with the first book of a new series from the author of Falling with Folded Wings and Victor of Tucson.
In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going.
Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn’t have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she’s going to need it . . .
When Juliet stumbles upon what looks like a botched kidnapping, the victim dispatches his abductors and lives just long enough to give her a stolen AI chip. This gift soon transforms Juliet from a worker bee into a killer queen. Armed with far more power and skill than she can comprehend—let alone control—she finds herself drawn into a shadowy world where survival itself counts as victory.
Juliet has never been one to push people around. But when it comes to fighting the corrupt corporate overlords, she’s more than happy to push back.
The first volume of the hit cyberpunk series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Look But Don’t Touch
Romance · College Romance · New Adult
Our take
Look But Don’t Touch turns workplace tension into a sharp enemies-to-lovers romance built on pride, proximity, and every argument neither character wants to enjoy. Forced to work under Grant Wood, Ada Hathaway refuses to be dismissed by the guarded CEO who has always seen her as his mentor’s spoiled daughter. Their rivalry becomes harder to control as attraction slips past the rules meant to keep them apart.
Choose your retailer
About the book
There was one rule. Don’t fall in love with Grant Wood.
And I broke it. God knows I didn’t mean to! I only meant to push his buttons—to drive him as crazy as he drove me. He was the stone-faced CEO of my father's company and I was the spoiled daughter of his mentor. Those had been our roles for years. So what if we couldn’t stand each other?
When my father gave me an ultimatum, I was forced to swallow my pride and report to Grant himself. Intern extraordinaire at your service, sir. He clearly expected me to fail. Dressed in a clean-cut suit, sitting behind his desk, he took one look at me and dismissed me out of hand.
Me. Ada Hathaway, a graduate of Yale and valedictorian of her class. Sure, he might be a self-made millionaire, but so what?The only good part is that he always seemed just as unnerved by me, and I loved it when his cold facade faltered. Arguing with Grant quickly became the best part of my day.
But it was never meant to become anything more. He was as off-limits to me as I was to him.
But our game went too far. What do we do now?
(This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers novel with a happily ever after! Guaranteed to give you all the feels. No cheating!"
