When she wakes up in a cell on an alien spacecraft, she gathers her strength for a confrontation that never materializes. Instead, the man asks for her help in the largest raid he's ever overseen: a pleasure cruiser christened the Paramour, which has been siphoning humans into galactic sex trafficking for months. But in order for his mission to go off without a hitch, he needs to impersonate a connoisseur of human flesh.

The real question is, will either of them be able to keep up professional boundaries? Or will they bow to their primal instincts?

Now, years later, she＊s back from the dead and looking for vengeance.

Thanks to an unexpected and fortuitous disaster, Tavin＊s contract with the underworld＊s Assassin Guild was broken decades early. But instead of freedom, he＊s suffocated by guilt and regret. In many ways, he＊s more trapped than he was before. In an attempt to numb his pain, he works at Underworld General Hospital, saving people instead of killing them. But nothing can diminish the memory of assassinating the female he loved＃not even the knowledge that he＊d done it to spare her an even worse fate.

Deja remembers all of her dozens of former lives, and she knows that she only found love in one of them＃until her lover murdered her. As a soul locked inside the nightmarish boundaries of demon hell, she stewed in hatred until a single, fateful event gave her one more shot at life.
And at revenge.

Now another specter from the past is threatening them both. Can two damaged people overcome their history to save not only themselves, but a second chance at love?

The allure of learning the truth about the case from the smart, charming Beth is too much to resist, but even as they grow closer, Shea senses something isn't right. Is she making friends with a manipulative murderer, or are there other dangers lurking in the darkness of the Greer house?

A true crime blogger gets more than she bargained for while interviewing the woman acquitted of two cold case slayings in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel.]]> 344 Simone St. James 0440000211 Laura 0 2022-releases, want-not-owned 3.76 2022

]]> 54440543 Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control.
Blue is the blood of the poor, of workers, of the resistance.
Clear is the blood of the slaves, of the crushed, of the invisible.

Sylah dreams of days growing up in the resistance, being told she would spark a revolution that would free the empire from the red-blooded ruling classes＊ tyranny. That spark was extinguished the day she watched her family murdered before her eyes.

Anoor has been told she＊s nothing, no one, a disappointment, by the only person who matters: her mother, the most powerful ruler in the empire. But when Sylah and Anoor meet, a fire burns between them that could consume the kingdom〞and their hearts.

Hassa moves through the world unseen by upper classes, so she knows what it means to be invisible. But invisibility has its uses: It can hide the most dangerous of secrets, secrets that can reignite a revolution. And when she joins forces with Sylah and Anoor, together these grains of sand will become a storm.

As the empire begins a set of trials of combat and skill designed to find its new leaders, the stage is set for blood to flow, power to shift, and cities to burn.

Known as a harbinger of bad omens and blamed for Demons eating her family, Reia is shunned by her entire village. When the next offering is due and the monstrous Duskwalker is seen heading their way, her village offers her an impossible choice 每 be thrown into the prison cells or allow herself to be sacrificed to a faceless monster.

It has been foretold: A child will rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, a cruel immortal god-king, and save the kingdom.

The hero: Jian, who has been raised since birth in luxury and splendor, celebrated before he has won a single battle.

But the prophecy was wrong.

Because when Taishi, the greatest war artist of her generation, arrives to evaluate the prophesied hero, she finds a spoiled brat unprepared to face his destiny.

But the only force more powerful than fate is Taishi herself. Possessed of an iron will, a sharp tongue〞and an unexpectedly soft heart〞Taishi will find a way to forge Jian into the weapon and leader he needs to be in order to fulfill his legend.

What follows is a journey more wondrous than any prophecy can foresee: a story of master and student, assassin and revolutionary, of fallen gods and broken prophecies, and of a war between kingdoms, and love and friendship between deadly rivals.]]> 533 Wesley Chu 0593237633 Laura 4 2022-releases, own 4.04 2022

To save her family, Gemma agrees to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers her a wicked bargain she can＊t afford to refuse.

However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because her husband-to-be is a Kylorr .

One of the most fearsome alien races in the Four Quadrants, the Kylorr are beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part?

What neither of them predicts is how his bite doesn＊t bring pain〞it fills Gemma with more exquisite pleasure than she＊s ever known. And as she finds her footing on a strange new planet, the one thing Gemma thought she＊d never surrender might be at risk after all.

Her heart.

Praise for Nevermoor: ＆Exciting, mysterious, marvellous and magical ＃ quite simply one of the best children＊s books I＊ve read in years＊ Robin Stevens, author of Murder Most Unladylike.

In the magical city of Nevermoor, long-buried secrets are coming to light, and Morrigan Crow＊s life is about to turn upside down.

When Morrigan is invited into Nevermoor＊s wealthy Silver District, she discovers a world of extravagance and a family mystery she＊s eager to unravel. She could never imagine where it will lead: a white wedding, a golden dragon and a red pool of blood.

Embroiled in suspicion and danger, Morrigan leaps head first into a murder investigation, while also grappling with her ever-growing Wundersmith powers. And although her friends are there to help, she fears that could change if they learn she＊s keeping a terrible secret of her own.

As shadowy forces awaken in Nevermoor, can Morrigan find a killer and solve the mystery in her own past ＃ before the clock strikes midnight?

Jessica Townsend weaves a spellbinding tale of magic and mystery in this thrilling new installment of the Nevermoor series, winner of the Waterstones Children＊s Book Prize and with film rights sold to Fox.]]> 464 Jessica Townsend 1510107347 Laura 0 2022-releases, to-read 4.62 2025

Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire＊s knights go, slaughter follows.

Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general.

As Isolde＊s condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen＊s salvation, if only Kalista can find them.

But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles＊ capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right每for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world.]]> 448 Anthony Reynolds 031646905X Laura 0 2022-releases, want-not-owned 4.05 2022

Sheriff Nottingham should not be enjoying his pursuit of the witch Robin Hood. It＊s supposed to be a job: catch the thief, bring her to justice, pursue the next criminal. But the longer their game of cat and mouse goes on, the more he never wants it to end.

Nottingham senses Robin is luring him into a political dispute between the king and an ambitious prince〞a battle that threatens to destitute the poor in Sherwood.

She expects the service to be backbreaking and harsh. She doesn＊t expect to be put on an auction block in a room full of literal monsters and sold to the highest bidder.

To Sol.

A dragon.

He might seem kinder than his fearsome looks imply, but she knows better than to trust the way he wants to take care of her, or how invested he is in her pleasure. In her experience, if something seems too good to be true, it certainly is.

Falling for Sol is out of the question. She＊s suffered enough, and she has no intention of staying in this realm＃even if she leaves her heart behind when she returns to her normal life.

An unexpected inheritance comes at the perfect time for Holly. Her on-again, off-again relationship is off for good, her Christmas plans have been canceled, and her parents have decided to spend the holiday traveling. But the remote mountain cabin she inherited is not the idyllic paradise she remembers from her childhood. There＊s no power, no cell service, and she's quite sure someone - or something - is watching her from the woods＃

Sinta＊s observation trip to this primitive planet has gone disastrously wrong. His ship's systems have gone haywire, the freezing temperatures have thrown his body into his beast-like survival mode, and he's lost touch with his world. Then the enchanting human female he spies from the woods threatens to throw his beast into a mating frenzy＃

When Sinta and Holly are forced to work together to survive they discover an unexpected connection 每 but is there any future for them once the holidays are over?

This sweet and steamy holiday tale is part of the Stranded With an Alien collection, a collaboration of authors telling holiday tales with a science fiction romance twist.

Until she collides with a young Cossack rebel, changing both their lives forever.

Damien is taken from everything he knows and raised as a ward of the Romanovs.

Anastasia develops a strange kind of magic shared only by the Black Monk Rasputin.

While her power grows in secret, boosted by forbidden contact with Damien, Anastasia makes a mistake with terrible consequences.

Fate grants her a single chance to set it right＃ but saving what she lost may cost everything she loves.


The Lark Notes:
I think what captivates us about Anastasia is our dream of what could have been. Anastasia＊s death was so tragic, I wanted to give her another life.

This book is not a retelling of any other Anastasia story. It＊s set in 1919 in a world similar to ours, but with magic. My next series will be a vampire family saga set in the modern version of that same world.

This is my fantasy of the happy ending Anastasia deserved. Not because she was a Romanov, but because she was a human. I want all of you to have the happy ending you deserve 每 it＊s why I love writing romance. --Sophie

※Anastasia§ is an epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. It is intended for mature readers and contains spicy scenes not suitable for all.]]> 686 Sophie Lark Laura 0 2022-releases, want-not-owned 4.07 2022

The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.

But winning won＊t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.

Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father＊s crown＃ and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

But there＊s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone 每 but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in a new series of heart-wrenching romance, dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue, perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Thorns and Roses.]]> 502 Carissa Broadbent 1957779020 Laura 0 4.34 2022

Um, no, I don't think so. He's crazy, and I'm too skittish to go.
