Zom Romcom: Olivia Dade
Teaming up with your neighbor during a zombie outbreak is a no-brainer, but if it turns out he’s a vampire . . . the stakes couldn’t be higher, in this infectious new paranormal romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Spoiler Alert.
When Edie Brandstrup attempts to save her sweet, seemingly harmless human neighbor from the first major zombie breach in two decades, she’s stunned to be saved by him—and his ridiculously large sword—instead. As it turns out, he's actually a super-old, super-surly vampire. But for all her neighbor's newly revealed cynicism and lethality, Gaston "Max" Boucher (yes, Gaston) is unexpectedly protective. He wants her to stay in his safety bunker until the breach is resolved. Edie can’t risk more innocent people getting killed, though—and Max won’t let her save them alone.
As they unravel a sinister conspiracy to set zombies loose on the world (again), the duo meet a host of lovable allies and discover they're not the only ones willing to fight for the future of humanity. Despite the awful timing, Edie finds herself falling for the vampire who’s helping her save the world . . . but all their dangerous plans could end their future before it even begins. As she and Max battle side by side, Edie must decide whether having a love worth living for also means having a love you'd die for—and, in a world that grows deadlier by the minute, whether that’s a risk she’s willing to take.

The Key to Wonderland: Eliza Nevius
A snarky bookstore owner and a dangerously attractive Mad Hatter. Welcome to Wonderland—try not to lose your head.
Alicia Hightower isn’t crazy. Probably. But when a magical copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland zaps her into a realm filled with seductive tea parties, murderous monarchs, and sassier versions of childhood classics, she starts questioning everything—especially her life choices.
One minute, she’s alphabetizing romance novels in her sleepy little bookshop. The next, she’s being told she’s the “Key” to saving Wonderland from a tyrannical queen, escorted by a sly Cheshire, a moody Caterpillar with cryptic advice, all the while growing dangerously close to a maddeningly infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) Mad Hatter.
Alicia doesn’t know magic. She doesn’t do quests. But apparently, that doesn’t matter when a realm built on illusions and nonsense decides she’s their last hope. Thrust into a world where queens rule with blood-soaked hands, riddles bite back, and reality bends like ribbon, Alicia must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice… and who she’s becoming.
With her sarcasm sharp as a blade and her Converse ready for battle, Alicia has to navigate hedge mazes, masquerade balls, backstabbing "friends', and an evil Knave of Hearts—all while trying not to fall for the one man who might just be mad enough to break her heart.
If you love fantasy with bite, banter that could kill, and female leads who take no nonsense (unless it’s served with tea), then get ready to tumble down the rabbit hole. This darkly whimsical, romantic, and sharp as a sword disguised as a teaspoon tale, The Key to Wonderland, is the first book in the Once Upon Another Time series—perfect for fans of twisted fairytales, slow-burn tension, and heroines who refuse to be tamed.

The Things Gods Break: Abigail Owen
The gods want her dead...Hades will bury them.
You’d think I’d have learned by now:
Don’t mouth off to deities.
Don’t fall for the King of the Underworld.
And definitely don’t get dragged into a divine death match where I’m the cursed mortal prize.
But here I am—trapped in Tartarus, humanity’s worst pit stop, squaring off against monsters who make the gods look merciful. Titans, twisted by centuries of rage and ruin, are sealed behind seven ancient locks.
And guess what?
I'm the key.
To escape, I’ll have to survive every horrifying trial they throw at me.
To win, I might have to become something the gods never saw coming.
Oh, and Hades?
He's about to break every rule the gods ever wrote.
Because to save me...the god of death will burn the world.
But if I break free? So do the Titans.
And the world won’t just suffer—it'll beg for the end.
The Crucible series is best enjoyed in order.

Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone: Benjamin Stevenson
Knives Out and Clue meet Agatha Christie and The Thursday Murder Club in this “utterly original” (Jane Harper), “not to be missed” (Karin Slaughter), fiendishly clever blend of classic and modern murder mystery.
“A witty twist on classic whodunits… Stevenson not only 'plays fair,' he plays the mystery game very, very well.”—Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate.
I’m Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I’d killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it’s a little more complicated than that.
Have I killed someone? Yes. I have.
Who was it?
Let’s get started.

Witch of the Black Circle: Local Author and Traditionally Published: Maria Devivo
When it comes to witchcraft, it's never just a teenage phase...
For as long as she can remember, high school senior Joephie Turner's mother has told her she is cursed by a witch. As she settles into her new hometown of Northport, Long Island at the height of the 1980s Satanic Panic era, Joephie is accepted into a circle of friends obsessed with the occult.
Demonic messages on cassette tapes, shady youth group leaders, and passionate sexual encounters push the teen into a thrilling world that lends a deeper meaning to the proverbial mantra: "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Until it all goes wrong.
A decade later, haunted by nightmares of cults and rituals, formidable burgeoning witch Joephie pieces her memories together in search of answers about the small group of suburban teens that meddled with dark forces. As an adult, Joephie will have to decide what, or who, she is willing to sacrifice from her past in order to claw her way back to sanity.
Inspired by true events, Witch of the Black Circle is a deliciously wicked and nostalgic journey through time where the lines of reality and the supernatural blur. Content warning: satanic rituals; sex; graphic violence; language; drug use
