Monroe Academy was built to separate the weak from the strong. Pass the biyearly leveling and be released into society upon graduation. Fail to be promoted and be stripped of rank and forced into servitude.
That was a rule that applied to all but Rayah Bardeau. A student of Monroe Academy, branded as a Null because of her absence of Lighter energy. With her mother standing as a slave in her place, Rayah was given until the age of twenty to make level six, but at nineteen-years-old and with only eight months until her twentieth birthday, she was only a mere level one. The same level she’s been since she was ten.
With the stress of her upcoming test, the loss of a friend, and the constant wrongdoings towards her, Rayah could only dream of escaping from Lytonia, and escape she did...

Kathy and her sister, Samantha, have always been a team. Throughout their time as witches, they've taken out more than their share of bad guys. But after Kathy meets Will, who is a demonic Dark Knight, her loyalties begin to change.
Samantha doesn't trust Will or his intentions. Still, Kathy can't help but feel tempted by the dark side as she falls deeper in love with him. Crossing over would give Kathy the freedom to do whatever she wanted with her magic. It would also mean breaking the bond she has always shared with her sister, who wants nothing to do with the dark side.
When Will proposes they take over the underworld, Kathy loves the idea of having power. But it also leaves her with a choice: abandon her family and the life she has always known, or give up the love of her life fore

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.

Welcome to the Questing Academy, a school devoted to helping book characters learn their roles. They attend classes while their authors finish their stories, only graduating upon publication. With a student body made up of heroes, villains, support characters, and folks who are just plain narrative window dressing, there’s conflict galore.

Plus, he unearths a mystery. Just what is the sinister dean of the school up to?

“They will kill us all!
Leave Strange Ville now!
Don’t come back!”
It’s Mom’s note… That’s all she left before she went missing.
First, it’s Kara. Now, Mom. What’s going on?
Another dead body found. They say it’s the work of wild beasts. I doubt it.
It all started with that stone. I found it in the mountains.
He had warned me that day. Trevor. If only I’d listened. Maybe he has the answer.
But I know nothing about him, except his family’s odd reputation, his boy-next-door looks, and he’s watching me.
One thing I am certain, though, he’s not what he seems. And I’m afraid, so are the others.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton
Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton Donald Firesmith
When hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appeared overnight in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle, geologist Jack Oswald picked Angele Menendez, his climatologist wife, to determine if the record temperatures due to climate change was the cause. But the holes were not natural. They were unnatural portals for an invading army of demons. Together with Aileen O'Shannon, a 1,400-year-old sorceress demon-hunter, the three survivors of the research team sent to study the holes had only one chance: to flee down the dangerous Dalton Highway towards the relative safety of Fairbanks. However, the advancing horde of devils, imps, hellhounds, and gargoyles will stop at nothing to prevent their prey from escaping. It is a 350-mile race with simple rules. Win and live; lose and die...
Amazing story! I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I couldn't put it down.

Well, I love any story to do with the Holy Grail add my second fav genre, paranormal, this sounds like a very exciting read.

Another great novel for those of us who enjoy seeing a strong female lead character set in a scifi mystery setting.
I'm reading this now and really enjoying it! Harriet is great fun! :)
A dark comedy of a young woman that pulls you into her desperate actions to become the only human police officer for an entire planet. Had me smiling and chuckling, especially at the comic relief of the over-powered and under-programmed robot companion. Sill reading away, stealing time to finish it...
I laughed my way through the whole book. Writing humor is not easy, but this author made it seem effortless. In a world filled with robots and AIs, Clunk endeared himself to me. Adversely, his human counterpart, Hal Spacejock, was just the opposite. I wanted to strangle him numerous times. But this was by the author's design. These two experience one hilarious snafu after another. Thankfully, it all ended well and I'm off to read the next book !!

The host is a boy named Jakob. His ancient soul is one of the rare sources of power still recycling in the world of flesh. Thane has taken so many souls to his goddess, but this one could save them all.
It's only when Thane learns the truth of the gods does he deny them their power. Souls aren't recycled. They're destroyed, and his goddess isn't a deity... she's a monster.
Permanently melded with his human host, Thane meets his soulmate, a woman who captures his heart like his goddess never did. He'll do anything to protect her, and the gods know it.
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.

Fae's Queen: The Crown of Myth
Fae's Queen: The Crown of Myth Mira Crest
If school is hell, Sophia and Audrey are definitely demons.
There's no point staying. One more step off the cliff and all this hell would end.
No harm making one last wish, Myth thought. It's supposedly just a dumb legend: when one wishes upon a full moon, one's dream will come true.
But when a fae appears and escorts her to an alternate universe where a hot fae prince awaits, Myth knows it's more than a legend.
Myth is to be the prince's princess, his mate. And who can resist his alluring glance and perfectly shaped tanned body.
He will do everything to keep her from harm.
But her new role is not as simple as it seems, and secrets and dangers lurk behind this new world.
Will she uncover the truth in time or be doomed to a fate worse than death?

Moss Forest Orchid SAMPLE Shari L. Tapscott
Free Preview!
Lucia needs a job, and she needs one fast. Looting dragon caves hasn't proven profitable lately, and she's tired of waiting tables. Her business partner usually finds the work, but Sebastian isn't speaking with her, and Lucia's getting desperate.
Luckily, Lucia finds a simple request posted on a community board. All the man wants is an orchid. Nothing to it.
Except the flower only grows in a montane cloud forest in Grenalda... And Lucia must take a ship through sea serpent-infested waters to get there... And her new helpful friend—the one and only, dashing Captain Avery Greybrow—just might be a pirate.
At this rate, Lucia's not sure if she'll ever reach the orchid. But she's determined to try.
