Chaos follows him everywhere, but one disastrous mistake turns a reckless thief’s life into something far more dangerous and intimate.
Accidental Bond
LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Chaos follows him everywhere, but one disastrous mistake turns a reckless thief’s life into something far more dangerous and intimate. In Accidental Bond, a dragon shifter with a talent for bad decisions finds himself bound to a demon after a contract goes wrong in the worst possible way. It’s a paranormal romance with sharp humor, magical trouble, and a central bond that turns reluctant attraction into real emotional risk.

About the book
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but accidentally becoming a mercenary for a demon might be the biggest one yet…
My inner dragon has always been more like a devil on my shoulder, talking me into making bad decisions and creating chaos. I have a hoard full of demon artifacts, each one likely to cost me my life if the owners ever come after me.
I thought accidentally becoming a mercenary was the worst mistake I would make in a single day… until I inadvertently mated myself to a demon. It’s not my fault his mating ring was so pretty!
It’ll be fine… all I have to do is fulfill my contract, not do anything else to make things worse, and avoid falling for the surprisingly sweet, himbo demon who thinks I’m his mate. Should be easy… right?

A daughter grows up inside the fracture line between fierce love and devastating instability, trying to hold onto what remains of her father.
The Parts of Him I Kept
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
A daughter grows up inside the fracture line between fierce love and devastating instability, trying to hold onto what remains of her father. In The Parts of Him I Kept, Natasha Williams reflects on coming of age with a schizophrenic parent and the lasting weight of care, grief, and memory. It’s a memoir marked by emotional honesty, family complexity, and a clear-eyed search for meaning inside trauma.

About the book
One cold night in April, Natasha’s father drove his car into the frigid water of New York Bay with her two-year-old half-sister in the backseat. She was the one to walk him past the column of hungry reporters demanding an explanation.
The headline in The Daily News read: Back from a Watery Grave. But Natasha’s experiences growing up with her schizophrenic father in the gritty New York City of the 1970s are not so easily captured in a single headline. How could she possibly convey the power of her father’s love in the face of this tragedy?
The Parts of Him I Kept is an intimate account of coming of age in the face of a father’s schizophrenic unraveling. In the tradition of Michael Greenberg’s Hurry Down Sunshine and Robert Kolker’s Hidden Valley Road, Williams explores the limits of our understanding of schizophrenia and chronicles the burden and privilege of caring for a mentally ill family member.

About the book
The first novel in Colleen Oakes's epic, imaginative and twisted series, perfect for fans of Dorothy Must Die and Heartless, tackles the origin of one of the most infamous villains—the Queen of Hearts.

Dinah is the princess who will one day reign over Wonderland. She has not yet seen the dark depths of her kingdom; she longs only for her father's approval and a future with the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and threatens her throne, she is launched into Wonderland's dangerous political game. Dinah must stay one step ahead of her cunning enemies or she'll lose not just the crown but her head.
Don't miss Blood of Wonderland, the must-read sequel to Dinah's story!

Survival has rules until one unexpected connection makes obedience feel more dangerous than rebellion.
Escaping Eleven
Dystopian · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Survival has rules until one unexpected connection makes obedience feel more dangerous than rebellion. In Escaping Eleven, Eve Hamilton has learned to endure life inside a brutal underground compound, but a fight with a boy from the ruling floor opens the door to something larger than hunger or fear. This is YA dystopian fiction with class conflict, rising resistance, and a romance threaded through a fight for freedom.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In Compound Eleven, the hierarchy of the floors is everything.
My name is Eve Hamilton, and on my floor, we fight.
Which at least is better than the bottom floor, where they toil away in misery. Only the top floor has any ease in this harsh world; they rule from their gilded offices.
Because four generations ago, Earth was rendered uninhabitable—the sun too hot, the land too barren. Those who remained were forced underground. While not a perfect life down here, I’ve learned to survive as a fighter.
Except my latest match is different. Instead of someone from the circuit, my opponent is a mysterious boy from the top floor. And the look in his eyes tells me he’s different…maybe even kind.
Right before he kicks my ass.
Still, there’s something about him—something that says he could be my salvation...or my undoing. Because I’m no longer content to just survive in Eleven. Today, I'm ready to fight for more than my next meal: I'm fighting for my freedom. And this boy may just be the edge I've been waiting on.

A phenomenal novel of resilience and survival from bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Heather Morris.
In the midst of World War II, an English musician, Norah Chambers, places her eight-year-old daughter Sally on a ship leaving Singapore, desperate to keep her safe from the Japanese army as they move down through the Pacific.

But as Singapore falls to the Japanese she joins the terrified cargo of people, including the heartbroken Norah, crammed aboard the Vyner Brooke merchant ship.

Good for readers who want classic war fiction, moral conflict, and sweeping character-driven stories.
The Young Lions
Historical Fiction · War Fiction · World War 2
Our take
A New York Times bestseller called a “masterpiece” by The Boston Globe, The Young Lions follows three soldiers on different sides of World War II, with a 4.5-star rating from more than 1,500 Amazon reviewers. Good for readers who want classic war fiction, moral conflict, and sweeping character-driven stories.

About the book
One of the great World War II novels, this New York Times–bestselling "masterpiece" captures the experiences of three very different soldiers (The Boston Globe).
Standing alongside Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and James Jones's From Here to Eternity, The Young Lions is one of the most powerful American novels to tackle the Second World War. Ambitious in its scope and robust in its prose, Irwin Shaw's work is also deeply humanistic, presenting the reality of war as seen through the eyes of ordinary soldiers on both sides. The story follows the individual dramas—and ultimately intertwined destinies—of Christian Diestl, a Nazi sergeant; Noah Ackerman, a Jewish American infantryman; and Michael Whitacre, an idealistic urbanite from the New York theatrical world.
Diestl first appears as a dashing ski instructor in Austria, mouthing his loyalty to Nazi ideals. As the war progresses, Diestl's character continues to erode as he descends into savagery. Ackerman must endure domestic anti-Semitism and beatings in boot camp before proving himself in the European theater. Eventually, as part of the liberating army, he comes face-to-face with the unimaginable horrors of the death camps. Whitacre, trading cocktail parties for Molotov cocktails, confronts the barbarism of war, and in fighting simply to survive, finds his own capacity for heroism.
Shaw's sweeping narrative is at once vivid, exciting, and brutally realistic as well as poignant in its portrayal of the moral devastation and institutional insanity of war. Penned by a master storyteller at the height of his craft, The Young Lions stands the test of time as a classic novel of war and the human experience.

She knows exactly how love is supposed to work until one impossible client turns the whole job into a slow-burning disaster.
Failure to Match
Romance · Contemporary Romance
Our take
She knows exactly how love is supposed to work until one impossible client turns the whole job into a slow-burning disaster. In Failure to Match, a successful matchmaker is forced to live with the arrogant billionaire she cannot stand as professional frustration turns into charged attraction. This is an enemies-to-livals romance built on sharp banter, hidden vulnerability, and the kind of tension that keeps pushing hate toward something much riskier.

Our take

As Lark moves deeper into his small town’s buried secrets, personal desperation gives way to something older and far more terrifying. It fits readers who want escalating dread, cosmic horror, and love twisted into obsession, sacrifice, and ruin.

About the book
From a new star in horror fiction comes a terrifying novel of obsession, greed, and the shocking actions we’ll take to protect those we love, all set in a small town filled with dark secrets.
“If you like Grady Hendrix’s novels, Clive Barker, or just a dash of Lovecraftian horror, you’re going to love this one.” – San Francisco Book Review
Peter Larkin — Lark to his friends — is a local hero in the small town of Wofford Falls. The one who went to the big city, found fame in the art world, then returned home to settle down. He's the kind of guy who becomes fast friends with almost anyone. His sister, Betsy, is talented as well. And eccentric. Unlike Lark, she keeps to herself.
When Lark meets with a fabulously rich client, it seems like a regular transaction. Even being met at the gate of the sprawling, secluded estate by an intimidating security guard seems normal. Until the guard plays him a live feed: Betsy being abducted in real time.
Lark is informed that she's safe for now, but her well-being is entirely in his hands. He's given a book. Do what the book says, and Betsy will go free.
"Marino draws readers in quickly, creating sympathy for the characters, unveiling the necessary details to immerse them in a world of art, siblings, deadly intrigue, and a centuries-long nefarious quest. Dread is present from the start, but it quickly escalates into a disorienting cosmic terror that touches everyone." — Booklist
"Marino offers horrors both existential and visceral." — M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts, on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess
"Dark and fascinating . . . Not quite like anything I've ever read before. A strange, compelling, late-night page-turner. It kept me reading way past my bedtime." —T. Kingfisher, author of The Hollow Places, on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess

Freedom matters most when conquest starts closing in and every alliance feels like a gamble.
Pinquickle’s Folly
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Freedom matters most when conquest starts closing in and every alliance feels like a gamble. In Pinquickle’s Folly, sailors, pirates, and former enemies are pushed together as the Xoconai empire tightens its grip on the southern coast of Corona. It reads as an action-driven epic fantasy with seafaring rebellion, found-family momentum, and a misfit crew choosing resistance over submission.

About the book
The first in the New York Times bestselling DemonWars: The Buccaneers trilogy follows the invasion of the realm of Corona as resistors begin to fight back for their land from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do’Urden.
In Pinquickle’s Folly, New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore returns to his signature world of Corona, introducing a new part of the southern coast never written of before as a great starting place for new readers being introduced to the world for the first time.
The first adventure in the Bucaneers trilogy begins in the free sea outside of the control of the usurping Xoconai empire, where the dwarven Powrie pirates and merchants sail. But the golden-skinned Xoconai have begun to encroach upon these waters behind the rapacious attacks of the frigate Crocodile, helmed by Captain Aketz. But when forced to submit, these sailors choose to live, free to do as they please, without some fool or another pretending to hold power over them.
Fantasy master R. A. Salvatore brings together a misfit band of Xoconai, powerie, and human sailors—once enemies, now fierce friends with a common enemy, and the spark of rebellion in this action-packed piratical adventure.

Identity can feel most fragile when the world keeps handing you new names, new histories, and new ways to disappear.
Floating In A Most Peculiar Way
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Identity can feel most fragile when the world keeps handing you new names, new histories, and new ways to disappear. In Floating In A Most Peculiar Way, Louis Chude-Sokei traces a childhood and early life shaped by displacement, family myth, race, and survival across Biafra, Jamaica, and Los Angeles. It reads as a searching, deeply personal memoir about belonging, inheritance, and learning to navigate many versions of Blackness.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The astonishing journey of a bright, utterly displaced boy, from the short-lived African nation of Biafra, to Jamaica, to the harshest streets of Los Angeles—a searing memoir that adds fascinating depth to the coming-to-America story
The first time Chude-Sokei realizes that he is "first son of the first son" of a renowned leader of the bygone African nation is in Uncle Daddy and Big Auntie's strict religious household in Jamaica, where he lives with other abandoned children. A visiting African has just fallen to his knees to shake him by the shoulders: "Is this the boy? Is this him?"
Chude-Sokei's immersion in the politics of race and belonging across the landscape of the African diaspora takes a turn when his traumatized mother, who has her own extraordinary history as the onetime "Jackie O of Biafra," finally sends for him to come live with her. In Inglewood, Los Angeles, on the eve of gangsta rap and the LA riots, it's as if he's fallen to Earth. In this world, anything alien—definitely Chude-Sokei's secret obsession with science fiction and David Bowie—is a danger, and his yearning to become a Black American gets deeply, sometimes absurdly, complicated. Ultimately, it is a boisterous pan-African family of honorary aunts, uncles, and cousins that becomes his secret society, teaching him the redemptive skill of navigating not just Blackness, but Blacknesses, in his America.
