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.

Magic of the Demon Fae
Romantasy · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Hiding her half-demon, half-fae identity is all she’s ever known.

Choose your retailer
About the book
What if your fated mates were three dangerously irresistible demons… and being with them could destroy you?
For years, I’ve hidden who I am, half-demon, half-fae, clinging to three rules: never talk to a demon, never reveal my true self, and never, ever kiss one. If anyone finds out I exist, it’s game over for me. So, when three darkly alluring demons appear at my door, my gut says to trust them… and my heart wants far more.
But things get complicated when they claim I’m a prophesied “chosen one.” They want me safe, but in their world, Hell itself, danger lurks at every turn.
Now, I’m battling both monsters and my own forbidden desire. Can I protect my heart from the only love I’m not allowed?

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

The Dead Children’s Playground

A haunted playground beside a cemetery is already bad enough.

In The Dead Children’s Playground, Kylie and Kayla are pulled into a chilling supernatural mystery where the past is very much not buried and the cost of finding answers could be permanent. This fits horror readers who love ghost stories with creepy small-town history, family tension, and a body count that refuses to stay in the past.
