With the help of her friends and allies, Ren managed to topple the General’s insurrection, but the Floating World and its territories are still under threat of attack from the rival Volmaran Empire. And worse, she was powerless to save Sunho from being overcome by the monstrous power in his blood.

Now he’s gone, transformed into a feral, deadly creature that doesn’t even recognize her anymore, and her heart aches for the sweet boy she’s grown to love. But the escalating war will not pause for her grief. Seen by some as a heavenly saviour and others merely a figurehead to be manipulated, Ren must use all her courage and cunning to survive the royal court’s game long enough to find Sunho and bring him home before he loses himself to the Demon forever.

Katee Robert - Engels - Paperback

This edition includes gorgeous black-and-white interior art that brings A Worthy Opponent to life like never before. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert delivers another deliciously dark enemies to lovers romance that puts a scorching twist on a classic tale. ***Once upon a time, I was a girl who believed in love and happily ever afters.

Now the only thing I believe in is revenge. Unfortunately for me, there’s only one man willing to help me. Hook.

I should have known it wouldn’t be out of the goodness of his heart. He doesn’t have one. No, Hook wants his ring on my finger and me on my knees before him – and he won’t take no for an answer.

I’m willing to pay any price in order to bring our mutual enemy down…even if it means I lose my soul in the bargain. A classic myth takes a turn for the decidedly wicked in the third Wicked Villains book, a spicy and dark contemporary romance about sexy modern villains getting their due.

The Mistletoe Kisser

Verschijningsdatum: 30/10/2025

€15,49

Lucy Score - Engels - Paperback

Ryan Sosa, grumpy former corporate accountant, has had it up to here with surprises. He didn’t see getting fired coming. And he certainly didn’t anticipate flying across the country to the world’s hippie-est, happiest, most annoying town to save his great-uncle from some mysterious emergency.

Not only is there actual snow on the ground, but the town of Blue Moon appears to have decked its halls with elves on psychedelics. But he doesn’t have time to be snarky about the impending Winter Solstice and Multicultural Holiday Celebration—whatever the hell that is. Not when he’s got a farm to save, a free-range sheep that he may or may not have nudged with his stupid microscopic rental car, and some small-town veterinarian telling him she can’t take the animal off his hands.

Dr. Sammy Ames has a practice to manage and a fundraising crisis to attend to. She doesn’t have time to deal with a big-city grouch who doesn’t remember being her first kiss ever. Especially not since he wants to dump a sheep named Stan on her. So not happening. No matter how cute—and naked—Ryan is when he’s drunk.

Besides, as soon as he solves his uncle’s problem, he’ll be on the first flight out of Blue Moon, never to return again.

It will take a Winter Solstice Miracle or perhaps some matchmaking interference from the Beautification Committee to get these two to see eye-to-eye under the mistletoe…unless they got the Wrong Ryan after all.

A little beast maybe, but not a monster.’ Nizzara has always been able to perceive spirits better than the average caster.

When she enters a deadly tournament to end her betrothal, she’s determined to win without succumbing to the addictive spirit magic she channels or taking a life in the duel ring. Finding herself outmatched, Nizzara must face her fear of power and team up with Dagen – an enemy who is half-ghost and all charm – to survive the tournament. Dagen, the last King of Zarr, was killed by Nizzara’s father ten years ago.

Now a half-ghost – able to phase between his human and spirit form – he is stuck in another realm, hunting wretched souls. When his keeper offers him a chance to reclaim his freedom in exchange for Nizzara’s soul, Dagen takes the deal. There’s only one catch: she must freely give it to him by the tournament’s end or his own soul is forfeit.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Vesselless is a spellbinding fantasy of magic and intrigue – and a tantalizing slow burn that will have you hooked until the very last page.
