Our take
Love becomes a public spectacle when a single radio call turns one woman’s private life into the city’s favorite story.

About the book
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle–inspired love story from beloved author B.K. Borison.
Aiden Valentine has a secret: he’s fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore’s romance hotline, that’s a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight.
Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life—or lack thereof—she begins to question if she’s as happy as she believed. Maybe a little more romance wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
Everyone wants Lucie to find her happy ending…even the handsome, temperamental man calling the shots. But when sparks start to fly behind the scenes, Lucie must make the final decision between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.

Death follows every kiss, and Harlow has built her life around making sure the right men die.
The Poison Daughter
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
Death follows every kiss, and Harlow has built her life around making sure the right men die. In The Poison Daughter, Harlow Carrenwell serves as both assassin and vigilante until the one man she cannot kill becomes her husband. This dark fantasy romance pairs a lethal heroine, arranged marriage tension, and looming family conspiracy with a blood-dark edge.

About the book
To err is human. To avenge is Divine.
Every person Harlow Carrenwell kisses dies immediately, and that’s the way she likes it. The poison-lipped youngest daughter of Lunameade’s magical founding family has used her power to annihilate their opposition.
Her first husband is in the ground. Her new betrothed is next.
But the merry widow has a secret. When she’s not acting as an assassin at her parents' whims, she moonlights as a vigilante for abused women in their walled-off city.
Meet a man. Lure him in. Kill him with a kiss. Until one night Harlow kisses a mark and he doesn’t die.
Worse, her invincible partner in passion is her new betrothed, Henry Havenwood, and now he knows about her double life. Instead of selling her out and bringing the rival families to blows, he does something much more sinister—whisks her away to wed in his wild mountain fort.
Harlow doesn’t trust Henry, but the only way to protect her family and the city of Lunameade is to figure out what his family is planning.
Cursed with a husband she can’t kill and trapped in a fort miles of vampire-infested woods from home, Harlow’s survival requires her to do the impossible: Make the man who knows she’s a killer fall in love with her anyway.
The Poison Daughter is a standalone dark fantasy romance that combines the vigilante justice for abusive men of Promising Young Woman with a romantasy arranged marriage and a dash of vampires.

Belonging comes with a brutal price when a boy marked by bloodline and rejection is shaped into a weapon for the crown.
Assassin’s Apprentice
Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Belonging comes with a brutal price when a boy marked by bloodline and rejection is shaped into a weapon for the crown. In Assassin’s Apprentice, Fitz grows up on the edges of royal life, pulled between court politics, hidden magic, and the demands of a king who sees his value clearly. This epic fantasy stands out for its intimate perspective, emotional depth, and the slow ache of a life defined by duty before choice.

About the book
A gorgeously illustrated anniversary edition of the book that launched the epic Farseer Trilogy, praised by George R. R. Martin as “fantasy as it ought to be written” and Lin-Manuel Miranda as “an incredible series,” featuring a new foreword by Robin Hobb and ten illustrations.
Twenty-five years ago, Robin Hobb’s first novel featuring FitzChivalry Farseer and his mysterious, often maddening friend the Fool struck like a bolt of brilliant lightning. Thus began a beloved saga spanning multiple series, full of adventure, magic, and sinister plots. To celebrate a quarter-century of wonder, this special edition presents a modern classic as it’s never been seen before, with ten beautiful illustrations by Magali Villeneuve.
Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill—and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family.
As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom.
Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Apprentice
“Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin
“A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies . . . a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne.”—Publishers Weekly
“This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you don’t want it to be over.”—Steven Brust

About the book
#1 NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND BOSTON GLOBE BESTSELLER • One of the most acclaimed books of our time: an unforgettable memoir about a young woman who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University
“Extraordinary . . . an act of courage and self-invention.”—The New York Times
NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE CENTURY • FINALIST: National Book Critics Circle’s Award In Autobiography and John Leonard Prize For Best First Book • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award • Los Angeles Times Book Prize
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
“Beautiful and propulsive . . . Despite the singularity of [Westover’s] childhood, the questions her book poses are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love? And how much must we betray them to grow up?”—Vogue

Moral clarity comes at a brutal cost when one man sees the danger long before others are ready to believe it.
The Keeper of the Glass House
Historical Fiction · War Fiction · World War 2
Our take
Moral clarity comes at a brutal cost when one man sees the danger long before others are ready to believe it. In The Keeper of the Glass House, Miklós Kraus fights to save Hungarian Jews after the Nazi invasion of Budapest, building a fragile refuge as persecution closes in from every side. Based on a true story, this WWII novel draws its power from courage under pressure, impossible choices, and the human will to protect others against overwhelming evil.

About the book
How can one man save the lives of thousands from total destruction?
Budapest, 1944. When the Nazis invade Hungary, the leaders of the local Jewish community trust that the Hungarian government will protect them from deportation. But Miklós Kraus, a young Jewish activist living in Budapest, isn’t convinced. After reading a shocking report exposing the atrocities taking place at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Kraus is determined to do everything he can to save as many Jews as possible from certain death.
Using his cunning and connections with the Swiss consulate, Kraus concocts a plan that could save thousands of Jewish families. After the Nazis invade his homeland, he secures an old glass factory, dubbed “the Glass House,” which becomes a safe haven from the violence raging on the streets of Budapest.
As the Nazis become increasingly desperate to expedite their plans and the threat of mass annihilation looms over his daring operation, Kraus will have to risk more than he ever imagined to save his people.
The Keeper of the Glass House is the moving and captivating story of how one man saved the lives of many, based on the inspiring untold true story of Miklós (Moshe) Krausz.

Our take
Desire becomes a liability when power, instinct, and control start pulling in the same direction.

About the book
There were three rules for surviving my internship at Astor Industries:
Don’t be late. Wear appropriate attire. And definitely don’t fall into the CEO’s lap.
I broke all three in one day.
Samuel Astor is older, filthy rich, and my boss. He’s also the most dominant Alpha I’d ever been near; and my body knows it. One brush of his scent and my Omega instincts are screaming for him.
Lusting after a man from the Astor family was asking for trouble, but he was relentless.
He says I’m his. He says we’re Scent Matches.
Even when he looks at me as if I’m the only thing he’s ever wanted, I don’t know if I should believe him. I should stop this before it’s too late for me. Except he won’t let me.
Was it possible that this wealthy man who lacked nothing could want me as madly as I wanted him?
Knot Your Intern is an MF billionaire romance novella. There is no cheating and a HEA is guaranteed.

Immortal Connections
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Ascension brings no peace when immortality itself becomes another battlefield. In Immortal Connections, Long Wu Ying rises to the Heavens only to find divine law at odds with love, while the mortal world fractures into war below.

About the book
A new Immortal has risen... and with him, the fate of all the realms hangs in the balance.
Long Wu Ying has ascended to the Heavens, fulfilling the ultimate dream of all cultivators. However, the heavens are not all that it seems, and his vow to raise his lover to the realms of immortality conflicts with the Jade Palace’s rules.
In the Middle Kingdom, the fracturing of an empire echoes across the kingdoms. As states rush to fill the power vacuum, war-weary armies march with little food, weakened by years of drought. Wu Ying’s mortal friends are caught in the middle of the conflict. As leaders among cultivators and within their sect, they must do what they can to hold the world together and carry on without their closest ally.
When chaos consumes the realms above and below, even the greatest cultivators must surrender to the winds of fate.
Immortal Connections is the first book in Celestial Cataclysms, the new epic xianxia fantasy series by Tao Wong. Taking place in the same world as A Thousand Li, it delves into realms old and new, making it perfect for longtime fans and first-time readers alike.

Silence turns every second into a liability when the one witness to an assassination can’t speak.
Extraction Force
Thriller · Military Thriller · Political Thriller
Our take
Silence turns every second into a liability when the one witness to an assassination can’t speak. In Extraction Force, Clint Hawke and Shaw must move a traumatized scientist through Bangkok while enemies close in and every missed signal could turn fatal. This is a tightly wound action thriller built on pursuit, pressure, and the fragile trust that keeps a mission alive.

Our take
Chaos follows Kit wherever he goes, but this time the fate of the mythic world may follow with it. In Conquering Reality & Other Misconduct, a hunted conman turned reluctant hero faces a secret league bent on control, forcing him into one last collision of magic, danger, and disaster.

About the book
Conman, jailbird, rookie, agent, fugitive…I’ve worn a whole lot of labels over the past year. But the Consilium, AKA the heinous secret league of power-hungry psychos that has been covertly pulling the world’s strings for decades, has slapped a few more on me: abnormality, keystone of evil, and my personal favorite, “annoying pest that keeps escaping our clutches.”
I’ve battled empaths, mages, demons, rogues, and an astonishing quantity of bureaucratic nonsense, but the Consilium is by far the biggest and most dangerous enemy I’ve ever had the pleasure of clashing with. On my own, I won’t be able to stop the nefarious tide of influence and control they’re spreading across the mythic world.
But with the help of Lienna Shen and my other allies, I’m hoping to earn a few new titles from my ultra-ornery foe, starting with “giant pain in their collective ass” and finishing with “nightmare they never should have messed with.”
I just need to make sure I don’t add “unintentional bringer of the apocalypse” to my resume in the process.
Kit's journey from conman to international man of mystery rushes to its epic conclusion in the final book of The Guild Codex: Warped. Warped can be read as a standalone series or as part of the larger Guild Codex saga.

Blood ties become a weapon in a capital built on spectacle, scandal, and control.
A Congress of Roses
Romantasy
Our take
Blood ties become a weapon in a capital built on spectacle, scandal, and control. In A Congress of Roses, Ophele and Remin leave the bloodshed behind only to enter a deadlier battlefield of court intrigue, divided loyalties, and imperial power plays. This is romantic epic fantasy at its most political and intimate, with danger shaped less by war than by who claims you.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"The last of my blood is right here."
Too many Knights of the Brede are the last of their blood. But being an orphan might be better than being the beloved daughter of the Divine Emperor.
With blood still soaking the Tresingale docks, Remin and Ophele set sail for the capital, where a single night's scandal can echo to the Five Courts. The Emperor's cold war with his Empress has already torn the Empire apart once, and as the Crown Princess Selenne makes her debut, Ophele's arrival threatens the precarious balance of power.
Amidst assassins, duels, and the dangerous machinations of the court, it becomes clear that the only thing more deadly than defying the Emperor is belonging to him. The capital has always found many uses for the Children of the Stars, and Ophele will have to learn to command this game, or be claimed as a pawn.
This is not a battle of borders or blades. Sidelined in society and despised as the son of traitors, Remin is forced to fight at her side with new weapons of intrigue and influence, where every move he makes risks everything they have built. Because this time, the greatest general in the Empire isn't trying to win a war.
He's trying to stop one.
A Congress of Roses is the fourth book of the Empire of the Stars, a romantic epic about a love mightier than an empire. If you love the sweeping romance of Outlander, the lush, deadly world of the Kushiel's Legacy series, and the rich storytelling of Robin Hobb, you will love Empire of the Stars.

The Snake and the Spider
Biographies & Memoirs · True Crime
Our take
What begins as an ordinary spring break trip darkens into a case defined by absence, dread, and the slow unraveling of every parent’s worst fear. As two teenage boys vanish after missing routine check-ins, the search gives way to the devastating truth of abduction and murder. The Snake and the Spider fits a true crime list with its intimate emotional stakes, real-world horror, and focus on how violence shatters families long before answers arrive.

About the book
A New York Times–bestselling author and former Los Angeles Times reporter chronicles the murder and abduction of two teens during a dream spring break vacation.
Best friends Daryl Barber and James Boucher were responsible, and their parents trusted them to spend Spring Break at Daytona Beach unchaperoned. When the boys missed their agreed-upon daily check-ins, their parents were disappointed. When they failed to come home on their planned return date, their parents were terrified. They could not have known that their innocent sons would encounter two violent men on the Florida coast. They could not have imagined the torture their children would endure before their bodies turned up four months later in a Florida swamp. What starts as a dream vacation, ended as every parent's worst nightmare . . .
New York Times–bestselling author Karen Kingsbury narrates the tragic tale of a road trip gone horribly wrong in this not-to-be missed true crime novel.

Fire from Heaven
Historical Fiction · Biographical Fiction · Pre-History | Ancient History
Our take
Greatness takes shape long before conquest, in the private loyalties and brutal lessons that teach a boy what power can do. As Alexander grows between a violent father, a consuming mother, and the demands of a kingdom at war, he becomes both more magnetic and more dangerous. Fire from Heaven fits a historical fiction list with its intimate portrait of ambition, emotional complexity, and the making of a legend before the world knows his name.

About the book
New York Times Bestseller and Man Booker Prize Finalist: A novel of ancient Greece by the author Hilary Mantel calls "a shining light."
Alexander the Great stands alone as a leader and strategist, and Fire from Heaven is Mary Renault's unsurpassed dramatization of the formative years of his life. His parents fight for their precocious son's love: On one side, his volatile father, Philip, and on the other, his overbearing mother, Olympias. The story tells of the conqueror's two great bonds—to his horse, Oxhead, and to his dearest friend and eventual lover, Hephaistion—and of the army he commands when he is barely an adult.
Coming of age during the battles for southern Greece, Alexander the Great appears in all of his colors—as the man who first takes someone's life at age twelve and who swiftly eliminates his rivals as soon as he comes to power—and emerges as a captivating, complex, larger-than-life figure.
Fire from Heaven is the first volume of the Novels of Alexander the Great trilogy, which continues with The Persian Boy and Funeral Games.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author.
"Mary Renault is a shining light to both historical novelists and their readers. She does not pretend the past is like the present, or that the people of ancient Greece were just like us. She shows us their strangeness; discerning, sure-footed, challenging our values, piquing our curiosity, she leads us through an alien landscape that moves and delights us." —Hilary Mantel
