For fans of Holly Black and Stephanie Garber, a new young adult fantasy trilogy from the NYT bestselling author of Frostblood.
As a child, fey princess Klara snuck out of her father’s castle and did the forbidden: she befriended a demon boy. On their third meeting, her new friend Zeru gave her a demonstone ring. He thought it was one of many in his mother’s jewelry box, not to be missed.
But the trinket was actually a dangerous and powerful artifact, which the demon queen will stop at nothing to get back.
Now, with the demons mounting attacks to retrieve the ring, the conflict between demons and faeries has intensified. After a decade of skirmishes, the demon army draws ever closer to the faerie stronghold. Klara wants to prove to her father that she is worth more than the demonstone she wields as a weapon.
Zeru, her childhood friend, now enemy, has been waiting for the right opportunity to get the ring back and right the wrong he did to his people.

The Hating Game meets One Plus One by JoJo Moyes in The Invitation, a slow burn, heated, emotional standalone from #1 New York Times bestseller, Vi Keeland.
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city.
Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts.
I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time.
Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me–it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.
Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail.
Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block–but at least I’d escaped unscathed.
Or so I thought.
Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table.
Take one guess who found it?
This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

I know it’s bad to dream about your teammate’s little sister. But bad is the one thing I do well.
I’ll be the first to admit that maybe I let myself get caught up in my pro hockey game with girls and let the press have a field day. Whenever I get into trouble, it always goes viral–just my luck, I guess.
Now I’ve finally found The One. She’s sweet. She’s fun. She’s practically the perfect girl. Except her brother is my team captain, and he’s very happy to threaten me with grievous bodily harm if I so much as step a skate over the line.
But when I try to be good…that’s when everything goes spectacularly wrong.

De wereld van de doden is dichterbij dan je denkt in dit langverwachte tweede deel van de Duistere talenten-serie
De duistere reis die in De man van rook is begonnen, gaat verder: van mysteries rondom een zonovergoten villa in het negentien-eeuwse Sicilië naar de diepe catacomben onder Parijs.
Nu de orsine is verwoest, ligt het Cairndale Instituut in puin en is Marlowe verdwenen. Zijn enige kans op redding ligt in een legendarische tweede orsine – lang verborgen en verloren gewaand – die misschien niet eens bestaat.
Maar wanneer er in de schaduw van Cairndale een lichaam wordt ontdekt, bedekt met het ontaarde stof van de drughr, beseffen Charlie en de talenten dat er nog meer op het spel staat dan ze hadden gevreesd. Want er is een nieuwe drughr opgestaan; woest, gehoornd en in staat om zich in de wereld van de levenden te bewegen – en deze drughr is niet alleen.
Een kwaadaardig figuur, bekend als de Abdis, verlangt naar het stof voor haar eigen doeleinden. En diep in de wereld van de doden roert zich een verschrikkelijk kwaad – een kwaad waarvan het geheim om het op te wekken of voor altijd te vernietigen wel eens besloten zou kunnen zitten in het ontaarde stof.

A perfect smile for one’s ability to taste. But Ivy Benton’s debut season arrives with a shocking twist: a competition to secure the heart of the Queen’s fae son, Prince Bram. A prize that could save Ivy’s family from ruin… and free her sister from the bargain that destroyed her.
Yet every glittering fae deal has a rotting heart, and at the centre of this contest is a dark plot that could destroy everything. Sweepingly romantic and deceptively enchanting, this alternate history romantasy will enthrall readers of Lauren Roberts, Stephanie Garber, and Sarah J Maas.

Van een arme, illegale straatvechter groeide ik uit tot een van de beste zwaargewicht boksers. Niemand wist dat ik ook een monster was dat in de schaduwen jaagde. Verbonden met de maffia totdat mijn schulden afbetaald waren. Een simpele deal garandeerde mijn vrijheid – wereldkampioen worden. Het leek eenvoudig, totdat een betoverende Britse vuurpijl op mijn schoot landde en me in vuur en vlam zette. Haar willen was gevaarlijk voor ons allebei, maar ik nam haar toch. En daardoor moest ik een keuze maken: vechten voor mijn vrijheid of voor die van haar…
Als de waarheid ontmaskerd wordt, kan ze dan nog van me houden? Zal liefde genoeg zijn om onze demonen te verslaan en als winnaar uit de strijd te komen?

Als het masker versplintert en de waarheid aan het licht komt, kan ik dan nog wel blijven? Zelfs als dat betekent dat mijn leven op het spel staat? Zouden we onze angst voor liefde kunnen overwinnen en vechten voor ons lang en gelukkig leven?

For fans of Holly Black and Stephanie Garber, a new young adult fantasy trilogy from the NYT bestselling author of Frostblood.
As a child, fey princess Klara snuck out of her father’s castle and did the forbidden: she befriended a demon boy. On their third meeting, her new friend Zeru gave her a demonstone ring. He thought it was one of many in his mother’s jewelry box, not to be missed.
But the trinket was actually a dangerous and powerful artifact, which the demon queen will stop at nothing to get back.
Now, with the demons mounting attacks to retrieve the ring, the conflict between demons and faeries has intensified. After a decade of skirmishes, the demon army draws ever closer to the faerie stronghold. Klara wants to prove to her father that she is worth more than the demonstone she wields as a weapon.
Zeru, her childhood friend, now enemy, has been waiting for the right opportunity to get the ring back and right the wrong he did to his people.

The third installment in the heartwarming and enchanting Emily Wilde series, about a curmudgeonly scholar of folklore and the fae prince she loves
Emily Wilde has spent her life studying faeries. A renowned dryadologist, she has documented hundreds of species of Folk in her Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Now she is about to embark on her most dangerous academic project yet: studying the inner workings of a faerie realm–as its queen.
Along with her former academic rival–now fiancé–the dashing and mercurial Wendell Bambleby, Emily is immediately thrust into the deadly intrigues of Faerie as the two of them seize the throne of Wendell’s long-lost kingdom, which Emily finds a beautiful nightmare filled with scholarly treasures.
Emily has been obsessed with faerie stories her entire life, but at first she feels as ill-suited to Faerie as she did to the mortal world: How can an unassuming scholar such as herself pass for a queen? Yet there is little time to settle in, for Wendell’s murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace. It will take all of Wendell’s magic–and Emily’s knowledge of stories–to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear.

*Includes NEW bonus content from Justin’s POV!
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a steamy second-chance romance. Amelia hasn’t seen her childhood best friend Justin since she broke his heart as a teenager, but when she arrives at the beach house her grandmother left to both of them, she finds Justin staying there too…and he hates her guts.
Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?
Not when it’s Justin Banks, Amelia’s former best friend and the only man she’s ever loved…who now hates her.
When Amelia’s grandmother died and left her half of her beach house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart Amelia broke years ago. The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hard-ass personality to match.
Amelia hasn’t seen Justin in years, but neither one is willing to give up the house–which means they’re living together, at least for the summer.
The worst part? Justin didn’t come alone.
But there’s a very thin line between love and hate. And beneath Justin’s sharp edges, the boy she knew is still there, and so is their connection.
The problem is, now that Amelia can’t have Justin, she’s never wanted him more.

Everyone in Cedar Creek, Texas, knows Jack McNight is an arrogant devil. Physically, I get it: he’s tan and fit, with coal-black hair that’s clearly been scorched by hellfire. Oh, and his personality? It burns just as hot.
When I show up on the doorstep of Blue Stone Ranch, I’m run-down and rockin’ my last pair of underwear. I’m hoping for a savior, but instead, I find him.
My opinion of Jack is marred by a dismal first impression, but his opinion of me is tainted even before I arrive. He’s heard I’m a spoiled princess there to take advantage of his goodwill. To him, I’m more trouble than I’m worth.
Our button-pushing banter should get under my skin. His arrogance should be a major turn-off. Problem is, devils are known to offer their own form of temptation.
Every one of his steely glares sends a shiver down my spine.
Every steamy encounter leaves me reeling.
Sure, it could be the Texas heat messing with my head, but there’s no way I’ll survive the summer without silencing him with a kiss and wrestling him out of those Wranglers.
Who knows…going to bed with the devil might just be the salvation I’ve been looking for all along.

From indie darling Harper L. Woods comes WHAT LIES BEYOND THE VEIL, the first book in the Of Flesh and Bone series, where the heated fae romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses meets the dark obsession of Phantom of the Opera.
Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.
For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords.
All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.
But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.
My heart.

The best love stories happen off-screen… It’s a perfect beginning: upbeat screenwriting student is mentored by genius-but-grumpy indie filmmaker, they argue over movies and share one secret kiss.
But then – right after savagely critiquing her screenplay – Xavier Duval skips town and completely ghosts Sutton Spencer. Fast-forward ten years, Sutton is now a movie exec overseeing Xavier’s new sci-fi blockbuster, which has gone way over budget. This time, she’s in charge.
And Xavier? He’s as talented, gruff and hot as she remembers – and still convinced there are no happy-ever-afters in real life. Seeing the way Sutton combines sweetness with nerves of steel to get his production back on track, Xavier almost wishes he believed in romance. Instead, they agree to an on-set fling, one that will fade to black when shooting stops.
On paper, it’s that simple. But life, and love, has a way of going wildly off script…

Hij is een meedogenloze vreemdeling. Eentje die ik niet mag zien, alleen mag voelen, dankzij de deal die mijn vriendinnen in mijn naam met hem hebben gesloten.

Alleen hij, ik en een dure zijden stropdas.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, toch?

Maar het lot houdt ons niet uit elkaar. Als ik mijn vreemdeling in Chicago tegenkom, weet ik dat hij het is, ook al heb ik zijn ijsblauwe ogen nog nooit gezien.

Hij is echt een meedogenloze man…

Of course, he catches her–and winks.

Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.
Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaëtan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.

2 maart 1810… Vandaag werd ik verliefd.
Op tienjarige leeftijd leek het er niet op dat Miranda Cheever ooit een Grote Schoonheid zou worden. Haar haar en haar ogen waren een modderige kleur bruin en haar benen, die ongewoon lang waren, ontbeerden alles wat maar in de verste verte op gratie leek. En op tienjarige leeftijd had Miranda dat al geaccepteerd – tot de middag waarop de knappe en onstuimige burggraaf Turner plechtig haar hand kuste en haar beloofde dat ze op een dag net zo mooi zou worden als ze slim was. En zelfs op tienjarige leeftijd wist Miranda dat ze voor altijd van hem zou houden.
Nu, acht jaar later, is Miranda een intrigerende volwassen vrouw en Turner een verbitterde weduwnaar. Maar ze is zijn vriendelijkheid nooit vergeten. Aan haar dagboek vertrouwt Miranda toe dat ze nooit is opgehouden van Turner te houden en dat ze nooit de hoop heeft verloren dat hij haar op een dag als meer dan een naïef meisje zal zien.
