Circus of Souls, Book One: Vitalia

by Eliza Benner

The circus welcomes you, but will you survive? The King's Circus doesn't come to villages like hers. Or, at least, it didn't until now. Naevyn just wishes she'd stayed the hell inside. When the performers lock the crowd in place and shift into dragons, ripping souls from bodies to feed an immortal king, Naevyn should be dead alongside everyone else. Instead, she's dragged into a centuries-old rebellion because her blood does something it shouldn’t—it kills. She's supposed to be human. A girl from the southern quarter who just wants to keep her family safe. But in the fae realm, nothing about her makes sense, and the prophecy everyone whispers about marks her as their salvation. Then there's Cairos—a dragon-shifter with centuries of blood on his hands and a smirk that makes her want to strangle him. Cursed to collect souls for the very king he used to serve, Cairos is powerful, lethal, and, unfortunately, the only one who can help Naevyn survive. She should hate him for the atrocities he’s committed. She should definitely fear him. So why does he feel like the one thing she can’t stop wanting? To save her family and shatter the cycle of death, Naevyn will have to trust a monster, face what she really is, and get close enough to a king to destroy him. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes that everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie. Love has a price. Prophecies have power. And this one demands blood.

Hell's Refuge

by Miren Kairne

Retiring from Hell was the easy part. Two years ago, Kira Alvarez walked away from a centuries-long career as a succubus, opened a burlesque studio in a small Nebraska town, and tried to build a quiet life among other retired demons who keep their heads down and their powers dormant. The arrangement works until a visiting historian makes her want things she swore off, and something from her past arrives with a grudge that's been building for centuries. The historian is temporary. He's human, he keeps finding excuses to visit, and he has no idea that the woman he's falling for used to destroy kingdoms for a living. Kira should keep her distance. But she's not great at should. With the supernatural wards that protect the town weakening and Midsummer closing in, Kira has a choice: accept that her past disqualifies her from happiness, or fight like hell for the life she's trying to build. Paranormal romantic suspense set in a demon retirement community in rural Nebraska, because someone had to write that book. [Read More]

Familiar Warmth

by Dae Storm

He can't get him out of his head. Cyrus has spent years bowing his neck to the rule of lesser Alphas in the Crimson Moon pack. Biding his time, growing his strength, and waiting for the night he’ll finally take what should have always been his. The Blood Moon Ritual is coming, and he’s ready to claim his place. No matter who he has to break to do it. Then Gabriel walks in. Younger. Reckless. Oddly familiar; and standing directly in Cyrus’s path to power. What starts as rivalry turns into something far more dangerous—heat, tension, a pull neither of them can ignore. Gabe awakens a hunger in Cyrus that’s been buried for years, raw and consuming. Forced into each other’s orbit, every touch lingers too long, every glance cuts too deep. As Cyrus’s past claws its way back into the present, he finds himself torn between the love he lost, the power he craves… and the man he can’t resist. Familiar Warmth is an M/M shifter romance featuring explicit 18+ content. [Read More]

What He'd Burn

by Ella Mitchelltree

"He'd burn the world down for you" is the most romantic line in fantasy. Until someone actually does it. Anna Iverson has spent her life proving she doesn't need anyone — a useful skill when your mother abandoned you to chase a mythical fated mate bond that never materialized. Now twenty-four and clawing her way toward pediatric cancer research on no sleep and no money, Anna's careful independence shatters the moment she shakes Jacob Tatum's hand. The bond snaps into place. Permanent. Intoxicating. Undeniable. Jacob is brilliant, protective, and utterly devoted. He's also a billionaire assassin who kills people for a living. At first, Anna rationalizes. He only eliminates people causing active harm — traffickers, murderers, monsters the legal system won't touch. The bond pulls her closer. His money solves problems she's been drowning under for years. She tells herself she can separate the man she loves from what he does. But Jacob's devotion doesn't have a ceiling. His protection doesn't have a line. And the fated mate bond that promised her a fairy tale? It doesn't come with an exit. What happens when "he'd do anything for you" stops being romantic — and you're the one who has to survive it? WHAT HE'D BURN is a dark fantasy romance and the first in a duology. For readers who love Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Ross but want their morally grey characters examined rather than excused. Content warnings: violence, reproductive coercion, captivity, morally complex themes. This book goes there. [Read More]

A Field Beyond Notions

by Atria J. Merian

Alchemist scorned. Grim Executioner. The scythe meets its match in a spicy tale of mutual obsession. Rosario My alchemy degree is as useless as the men I’ve been dating. Dreams are for teenagers. But I had goals. They were ruined by an alchemy mogul with sticky fingers and enough power to blacklist me from the industry. That’s how I ended up working for the divine Executioner—an immortal being descended from the God who abandoned Earth millennia ago. My new boss is notorious for tallying corpses and lovers in equal measure, and I have a bad feeling he wants me next.  But this isn’t the time to lose focus on what’s truly important. My future. My independence. And I won't let anyone take that away from me ever again. The Executioner Humans think I’m a psychopath. I don’t think about them at all. My routines keep me in check. Seven days for a prisoner. Feed off their fear. Dispose. Paperwork. Repeat. But ever since Rosario had stepped into my office for an interview, I’ve been lovestruck. For the first time in centuries. I watch her sleep. I plan our life together. I hear the bells toll. She may be trying to outrun her past, but she will never outrun her future.

Of Ice and Innocence

by Karen Hunter

She fought for her freedom. He's dying without her. Fate doesn't care what either of them wants. Book 2 of The Dragon's Flame Series. This story stands on its own, set within the world of The Dragon’s Flame. While returning characters make appearances, no prior reading is required. Though readers familiar with the first book may recognise a few extra layers. Laya survived four brutal Chases to remain unclaimed — the only free female wolf in a generation. She chose scars over submission and solitude over a mate who would strip away everything she'd bled to protect. The last thing she needs is a diplomatic mission into dragon territory. Kaeldric, advisor to the Dragon King, has been fading for months — his dragon slowly dying because he refused a mate bond he couldn't accept. When he finally finds her, she's everything he dreamed of and nothing he prepared for: a wolf warrior with claws already extended, who would sooner gut him than acknowledge what they both know. One crumbling railing. One frozen river. One impossible bond neither can outrun. Stranded in the wilderness with broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, and only each other, enemies have no choice but to survive together. But surviving is the easy part. When they return to civilisation, their bond will either become the bridge between two warring peoples — or the spark that ignites the war that destroys them both. A wolf who refuses to be claimed. A dragon who's running out of time. And a mate bond that will demand the one thing neither of them is willing to give. [Read More]
