The Summer Apprentice (The First Season of Elsewhen) B. T. Jaybush
Humans newly come to the World of Amedia were astonished to learn that the planet was sentient. They were devastated when that sentience declared the air, which seemed so fresh and wonderful, to be far too rich in the element oxygen for those technologies on which humans relied to be safe.
Technology, Amedia told them, was forbidden.
The World did offer an alternative: A genetic condition existed in a small portion of the newly arrived population that would allow them access to unique fields of power naturally generated by Amedia. This power could provide an interim solution for many of the needs that their technology had filled.
The people would come to call this power Magic.

I was one of those people who could never sit still. I loved to go outside and do stuff. Living in the beautiful state of New Hampshire really helped. Once spring rolled around, I practically lived in the Amethyst State Park.
But can you blame me? The hiking path was beautiful.
Still, when female hikers started going missing from the path, I should have been a little wary. I should have listened to my best friend, Abby, who told me not to go alone.
Did I listen?
No.
Now, here I am trapped inside a dark cave. I have no idea where I am or what happened to me? Was I about to encounter some of the other women who had gone mission or was I about to face a similar fate.
Maybe this pungent smell has something to do with it…
Whatever it is, I had to get out of this alive.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
Some say this book has a harry potter feeling, but it's a completely novel story and unique magic world. The world is beautiful because it's full with magic elements of seven types, each in a designated color - just like the rainbow code! That said, those colors could only be seen by some special eyes, such as Soarame's!
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they were called "magimals". A well-known example is dragons, and we all know how strong they are. However, they are still not the most powerful kind of magimals, because each type of magic has a king kind - and never underestimate a magimal just because it looks cute and little!

Always love George's stories. He weaves mythology into his stories in such a clever subtle way. Must read!
That neon title really steals the show! Very eye catching, and I love the concept of reinterpreting fairy tales in a cyberpunk setting.
A fascinating take on ancient Greek mythology! Opening chapters bring the reader right into this page-turning story. Don't miss out!
This story looks intriguing, and I've never read a book centered around a fox before! I'm excited to learn more, and I like your cover as well! :)

Azrael's a wingless angel, and if that wasn't bad enough, she's the only one with a functioning conscience. Her bi-color eyes mark her as a moral hybrid, and when she breaks her enslavement to Manor Saffron by making a deal with a demon, she doesn't expect to become Queen. She’ll have to survive her new royal magic, convince a legion of angels she’s worth fighting for, and find the breach in her Faustian deal, or risk a new master with horns.

Lucifer’s Fall is a beautifully written short story that asks power questions and makes me want to pick up the first book of her series to find out what happened next.
love the cover!
You had me with the cover and the title, even before I read the description. I feel like I'm a 'misguided knight' in the wrong time period so I look forward to reading this series.
Love the cover for this one! It instantly caught my attention. Gonna need to download this one for myself! :D

Great cover!
This is the first dragon story that really appealed to me. The interaction between Dauria and Graayyya is believable and heart-warming. The story has just the right amount of plot-driven suspense and character-driven emotion. Now I'm going back for Book 1 and look forward to whatever comes next.
Love dragons. Looking forward to reading this.

For Nick, who calls 7C home, real life can be a lot weirder than his friends’ role-playing games. Between regular stints at his job delivering bread and cinnamon buns to the otherworldly population of the city, these days he finds himself dodging attacks from vampire-hunting tourists, possessed pigeons, and his boss’s unborn child. He really shouldn’t waste time worrying whether his roommate Takehiko likes him—dude’s not even human.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!
