I thought that I saw her. I know I did…
But she was dead, and she died a long time ago.
After being attacked by anti-supernatural soldiers, Alexa and I were taken in by a pack of Alaskan werewolves with plans on fighting back, and although grateful that we were given a home and shelter, it was hard to face a werewolf named Loren who resembled a woman that Alexa once loved. She was also the most unpleasant pack member of them all.
That’s why when I spotted a woman in a white dress with long brown locks and glistening sun colored eyes, I knew that it wasn’t Loren, but who could it be if Esha was dead?
Was I just seeing things from Alexa’s memories?
Or did the love of her life never actually die at all?

The Gilded King Josie Jaffrey
In the Blue, the world’s last city, all is not well.
Julia is stuck within its walls. She serves the nobility from a distance until she meets Lucas, who believes in fairytales that her world can’t accommodate. The Blue is her prison, not her castle, and she’d escape into the trees if she didn’t know that contamination and death awaited humanity outside.
But not everyone in the Blue is human, and not everyone can be contained.
Beyond the city’s boundaries, in the wild forests of the Red, Cameron has precious little humanity left to lose. As he searches for a lost queen, he finds an enemy rising that he thought long dead. An enemy that the humans have forgotten how to fight.
One way or another, the walls of the Blue are going to come down.

Love the cover! Cover is totally what made me click to read the blurb.
I tend to hesitate when blurbs have a female & male povs especially in teen fiction because of my reading preferences - but the premise is strong enough to make me want to read it. Search for a lost queen... intriguing! I've gone and picked up a copy.

Like the Stars (Short Story) Rowan Rook
Harper hoped the invitation to the Solar School of Sorcery would be their salvation. They're determined to graduate as a hero - a Sunweaver, a protector of the mundane world above when the shadowy Phantoms rise from the center of the Earth each night. Being non-binary in a school where magic is segregated by sex, however, means that not everyone wants them to succeed. The sweat, the tears, the anxious nights full of dread and dreams...it's all come down to the final exam. If Harper can slay a Prime Phantom before dawn, they'll prove everyone wrong. If they fail, they'll lose even their memories. (A 4,700 word short story.)
The first few pages suck you in and then you can’t stop reading.

A human host, is a valuable commodity. But for Security Subsection 30 Tier 110 Cubicle 350 Enforcer Rank 1, a lone member of the dominant species who at the lowest rank possible isn't dominating anybody, *both* are clearly an unattainable dream.
Until today.
For on this particular day the offer of a lifetime will be made.
However all is not as it seems, for to be offered a host is 'an impossibility for someone like her' or so she has repeatedly been told.
Which begs the question, which is worse? To live out her days floating in the safety of her isolated bubble or risking it all on a host who rumour has it has been branded as hopeless to tame?

Two men haunted by the same ghost…
Falling for “the other man” in my marriage was never part of the plan. Then again, according to Nicolae Ursache, I am the other man, and human wedding vows don’t apply. Not to werewolves.
Nicolae is a smug, arrogant alpha male stereotype--and I do mean alpha in the literal sense--but when the same people who killed my wife kidnap my teenage daughter, he’s my only chance at getting her back. The fact that Nicolae was my wife’s rightful mate means that we share a mutual interest in bringing Ellie home, but I never could’ve imagined how he planned to do it.
I will do anything to protect my daughter. Even if it means becoming the plaything, or worse, of the man I loathe most.

OMG, Joel books are so good, I'm always eager to know if he's releasing a new book. And I'm excited about this short as well. I'm hundred percent sure it'll be just as good as his other books. Can't wait to dive into this beauty.
Awww... So sweet and fun. This is a perfect short read. Absolutely full of heart.
Joel Abernathy gives me everything I love in On Thin Ice. Opposites attract-check. Hockey players and ice skaters who hate each other-check. Pent up longing and hot and steamy sex-check, check, and check. This sweet story had me wanting more. I love this author's writing, and I can't wait to read more.
One broken-hearted ice skater.
One hockey player in denial.
And, of course, one perfect, ill-timed snowstorm to trap them both in the rec center during Winter Break. (But is it really ill-timed?)
Chase and Cameron couldn't be more different. Stature, appearance, and demeanor set them worlds apart, but that doesn't stop long-buried feelings from bursting through the ice in this short-n'-sweet whirlwind. An Enemies to Lovers story, On Thin Ice will thaw even the coldest of hearts.
Joel Abernathy is a deft hand at making you root for two characters who seem to hate each other (but really don’t). This enemies-to-lovers romance was a charming story with a good amount of heat and the sort of satisfying ending that’s hard to earn on a short.

When Odelia finds herself held up by a most unexpected bandit, she has to figure out how far she’ll go to protect her family’s legacy, even though all she wants is to be rescued by the Masked Minotaur.

The Seeds of Dissolution William C. Tracy
**Book Preview**
On a bright August day, the sun disappears.
Sam escapes freezing to death in his house, as his watch stops and fire ceases to burn. He is pulled into a nexus between ten alien cultures where he meets maji who can control the musical foundation of the universe. While coping with anxiety attacks prompted by his new surroundings, Sam must learn to hear and change the Symphony, and thus reality, in order to discover what happened to his home.
But more freezing voids are appearing, and Sam’s chances of getting back are fading. The Assembly of Species is threatening to dissolve and the maji are being attacked by those they protect, while rumors grow of an ancient, shape-changing species of assassins, returning to wage war.

I really enjoyed the blurb. This sounds like an entertaining and fun read. The cover caught my eye and made me want to know more. Nice job!
The author has hooked me on this story with the complex, fascinating world he has created for his characters. I can't wait to read the rest of the book!

Memos From the Wasteland M.P. Fitzgerald
ICBMs outnumbered birds and mushroom clouds bloomed in every city. Now nothing is certain but atomic death and taxes. The IRS remains, safe in a government bunker. No one gave them the notice that they were obsolete.
Bleakly funny in all of the wrong places, Memos From The Wasteland contains five short stories from the United Wastes. Letters, diaries, memos and office tiffs paint a bitter picture where bureaucracy still reigns.
Contains "Activities".

An eye-opening, inventive, and funny look at the apocalypse. Who knew the IRS could survive doomsday? And yes, they're still out to get you!

As far as Crystal Knew, she was just a normal girl. Sure, there were some instances where she wondered if she were something more, but what more could she be other than a foster kid from Nevada? There's no such things as vampires and witches...right?
After abruptly leaving home to study Zoology in California, Crystal runs into Alveya Tera, a beautiful, and, yet, dangerous member of the mysterious Josbryn family. After recovering from an almost fatal car accident she soon learns that there are definitely more than just animals and humans in the world. She also learns that the beast her mother died protecting her from wasn't just a part of her imagination.
Neither was her unusual appetite for meat

Where magic is dark and gritty, characters troubled and twisted, and victory comes at a heavy price.
Deep under the City of Glass in the frozen southern land, an age-old machine called the Heart of the City radiates a power which locals call icefire. Most citizens are immune to it, but a few, always born with physical disabilities, can bend it to their will. For fifty years, the ruling Eagle Knights, who fly on the back of giant birds, have killed these Imperfects, fearing the return of the old royal family, who used icefire to cut out people's hearts, turning them into ghostly servitors.
The old king's grandson Tandor only sees the good things icefire brought: power and technology now forgotten while the people of the south live in dire poverty. He's had enough of seeing his fellow kin

The Clockwork Monk Liv Rancourt
The Clockwork Monk is a mystery the President herself asks Trevor to solve. She wants it, and Trevor’s her spy. An encoded message leads him to the residence of the Archbishop of Chicago, where his undercover role allows him to indulge in fine waistcoats and fancy cravats. Even better, he enjoys the thrill of dodging anarchists and propriety while engaging in a duel of secrets with the mysterious Father Stephen.
The good Father doesn't act like a priest. Hell, Stephen may not be his real name. His broad shoulders and dark eyes are intriguing, and though Stephen’s clandestine agenda clashes with Trevor's, danger just adds to the temptation. Between kisses, Stephen forces Trevor to admit his loyalty goes deeper than cheap excitement, turning a simple burglary into a test of his allegiance.

My Heart Is Ready Chace Verity
The last thing Corsine ever expected to do was break into a vault and steal some rare seeds. She has a secret magic known as Maje flowing through her veins, but she’s never committed a crime before, and she’s terrified of the other Majerian hoarding the seeds at Rosales. But the risk is worth it if she can successfully prove how far she’ll go for her girlfriend.
Self-proclaimed harpy king Lester loves chasing rumors, but it’s hard to fly around and gossip while molting. However, he doesn’t have time to shed quietly when his best friend Corsine is behaving suspiciously about her trip to Rosales. Plus he’s dying to impress Corsine’s (hot) fearless traveling companion.
For Corsine and Lester, uncovering truths is easy, but revealing secrets is hard when love and friendship are on the line.

Climb the Unclimbable!
Natina grew up studying the artifacts found by her mother, a famous explorer. Now, her mother has discovered an ancient machine able to drill into the previously impenetrable mineral of the Nether, and is leading an expedition to climb its incredibly high walls for the very first time. She wants Natina to be part of the expedition, but Natina is more comfortable helping her parents research at home—if only her mother were home more often.
The Nether's walls are smooth like crystal, any fall will mean certain death, and no one knows what, or who, may lurk above the clouds. It could be the chance of a lifetime for Natina, and a good way to learn how her mother became the most famous explorer of the ten species—if they survive.

Black Flag: Safe Passage (preview) Rachel Ford
Go big or go home. For privateer Captain Magdalene Landon, it's all about going big. For Kay Ellis, it's about getting home. Together, they're about to architect the most daring heist in the galaxy.
Kay knows too much. She knows it’s a matter of time before a Conglomerate hitman finds her. She’s desperate for safe passage back to Union space.
Then Magdalene shows up, promising a way home in exchange for that information. It’s a risky bet, but Kay is out of options. So she strikes a deal: the heist of the century for her freedom.
Kay is playing a dangerous game, and she knows it. She’s made herself Enemy Number One of the Conglomerate. She’s relying on privateers for her safety. It’s a fool’s game. But the worst part is, her fool’s heart is starting to warm to the enigmatic captain.

Target (The Royal Cleaner: Book One) L.C. Mawson
When Caroline swore a sacred oath to protect magic, she never anticipated falling for a human.
Caroline was used to Demons causing trouble, trying to toe the line of magical exposure to prompt the king into action against the humans. What she wasn't used to was them trying to destroy her city with a devastating curse.
Even more irritatingly, a new detective seems reluctant to simply hand over the investigation, and insists on following Caroline, despite it making her job nearly impossible.
The only thing that would make Caroline's job harder is if she actually started to fall for the detective, and Caroline had never been one to make things easy.
TARGET is an f/f paranormal romance novel set in L.C. Mawson's Snowverse.

A veneer of respectability (so important to the Victorians) disguising power, ambition, illicit love, lust and cruelty, set in the world of industrial and imperial Britain. A meaty concoction to get your incisors into :)
