Elvish
Elvish S.G. Prince
A human outcast. An elven warrior. They're sworn enemies…until everything changes.
--
When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
Ellina doesn't trust the human, and not merely because he speaks the language of men. Men lie. In elvish, however, lying is impossible. In a moment of intuition, Ellina decides to give Venick a chance: learn elvish, reveal his truths, and she will set him free.
That is not, of course, what happens.
As Ellina and Venick come to know each other, their feelings start to shift. Then Venick uncovers a dark secret, and suddenly the fate of the elflands seems to rest in his hands. But will Venick risk his life to save an elf he's not allowed to love?

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.
Captivating from the beginning. Always leaves you wondering what happens next. Until the very last paragraph, where the surprise twist...
This book plots nicely and has a great atmosphere. I love the central character Mason Mild.

Paxton: Return to Myre Falls Anastasia Chase
Bianca loved dogs. She always had. That's why she opened the only no-kill shelter in town, and she was damn proud of that fact. They currently had one vacant position, left by her alcoholic ex-boyfriend. After him, she promised herself she wouldn't get involved with co-workers ever again. But when she saw him, the words lodged in her throat, right along with her heartbeat.
Holy cover model, Batman. This guy was gorgeous. He was tall, lean, and corded with muscle. He looked like a serious athlete, though something told her that he was one of those fortunate few that never had to work out to get good muscle tone. She felt an intense desire to strip him of that shirt and taste every inch of his yummy-looking torso, from happy trail to clavicle. But will she accept the secret he's hiding?

Magic Mafia. Sorcerer Police. A girl on the run from both.
Helena Martin doesn't know who she hates more, the sorcerers who fired the magic-laced bullet or the gang-lord master who used her mother as a shield. It's not the price she expected for escaping magical slavery, nor is the unstable power now pulsing in her veins.
Caught between her former master's hunters and the Guild Sorcerers determined to kill them, she finds a safe haven at a dog rescue willing to take in a different kind of stray. But Helena's newly-unleashed power is a beacon for her enemies. And they're threatening the first place she's ever thought of as home.

Definitely a story to be reckoned with. Looking forward to seeing more from her.

Falon: The Ancient Blood Awakens (A War of Blood & Scales) Angel Black
Falon:
Always just out of my reach: the human world.
I am the last born of the Dragons and it seems like everyone is okay with that, but I’m not.
I’ve heard that the ancient blood still runs through some humans. Ancient blood that I think could be the key to new life amongst Dragon kind.
I need to know, even if it means losing my freedom, my sovereign home, or worse.
I can’t just go along with all the others and live out the centuries in a loveless, childless marriage while I watch us Dragons go extinct.
Even if it’s only a slight chance, I must see if the rumors are true. Maybe the key to our fate lies in the humans.
In that human world I’ll find her; my mate, the mother of new dragons.
And if I ever find her, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep her safe.

Tardy Bells and Witches' Spells PREVIEW: Womby's School for Wayward Witches Sarina Dorie
Nerdy high school outcast, CLARISSA LAWRENCE, has always felt like she didn’t belong in this world. More than anything, she wants magic to be real—and not just because she’s obsessed with Harry Potter and tries to go to Narnia by reading fantasy novels in her wardrobe. Yet, when she stumbles upon real magic, and fairy tales come true, she doesn’t expect to be the evil villain in her own story.
Clarissa learns she’s descended from an evil witch and is destined to kill her older sister. When she meets a cute boy who offers to train her in magic, she must make a choice. She can have a safe, normal life and no harm will come to anyone. Or she can choose magic and risk everything and everyone she loves in order to be what she’s always known she was meant to be . . . a wicked witch.

Eleven years ago, he and Peter watched four of their friends die in that abandoned orphanage in their hometown, and they were the only ones who got out. Now, Ben’s worked too hard to separate himself from the terrifying scars of that night. He’s almost finished with his undergrad at Boston University. He and Peter are still friends. Life is pretty dull, and that's the way he likes it. Until the voices in his head come back just in time for Ben to face a new demon, in a new city, with a new hunger for dead bodies.
Then the nightmares return—only this time, Ben dreams of their friend Ian, who says he’s still trapped in the rotting house and needs their help to free him.

Black Ruins Falls (Book 3)
My lifecycle has started to be repaired when my pack became family. I would do anything for them. With there being so many new bonds it makes me happy and worry even more.
Now more than ever with these powerful enemies breathing down our backs and unexpected people from our past showing up. I feel like I’m drowning and can’t get enough air to breath or think.
With all of this going on a special surprise comes early, but she is the only one who can help me defeat the Elders once and for all. As much as I wish it wasn’t so, I have to believe we will all make it out of this alive.
Sometimes I wonder if we will even survive long enough to see the futures we all want.
“Only the strong will survive, I’m stronger than my enemies.”

You have the right to remain magic.
Any spell you use can be used against you.
The Marshal of Magic has one job. Hunt down witches and wizards gone rogue. Keep the balance in world between light and dark. And drink good craft beer.
He's one of twelve in the world tasked with going up against the strongest, worst and most evil magic users. Some people let all that power go to their head.
Not him though. Because he thinks his appointment's a joke. He doesn't know why the Judge picked him. And he's got a mouth smarter than the spells he can cast with the flick of a finger.
Someone is hunting soldiers in the canyons of Afghanistan and instead of sending the Marshal of Asia, the Judge poof's him over to investigate.
it's nasty. And dangerous.
And that is not the way he likes it. He's go

Interesting plot!
This one is a very entertaining prequel, and if the rest of the series is done in the same way, I know I will enjoy it immensely.
Looks really intruiging! Escape from New York meets Zombieland! Lots of thrills!
It's easy to laugh and be entertained with this book. Great job, Chris!
I love this cover and premise. As a big zombie fan, this one looks good!

But now an impossibly sinister force seeks to shatter it.

The House of Life
Fire & Ice
Fire & Ice Patty Jansen
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 Bones of the Earth
The Bones of the Earth Scott Hale
Is it wrong to kill a human …
when you’re not human yourself?
It’s been two hundred years since the Trauma, a catastrophic event of a now forgotten origin, wreaked havoc upon the Earth, reducing the human population from billions to thousands, and leaving the survivors as prey to humanoid hunters. Vrana of the Raven is one of these hunters. Her tribe has made killing humans, now known as the Corrupted, its purpose—to “keep the balance”—to ensure that the Corrupted do not rise to power and lay the Earth to ruin once more.
But, one night, in the great northern city-state of Geharra, over ten thousand Corrupted disappear.
And if so many can disappear so quickly, what’s to stop it from happening again elsewhere, or to Vrana’s own?
