Drag Queens, Movie Scenes & Ripped Jeans

Muscles and Mascara, Book Two

Dylan James

Being outed was the worst thing to happen to Andrew.

After his family kicked him out, he found refuge at a friend’s place, but he feels like he doesn’t belong there.

At school, things are different. He’s found his community attending Queer Club with his bestie Melanie and playing on the football team with Corbin. And on the weekends he performs as Lacey Garters, drag queen extraordinaire. But there’s still something missing. And it leaves him wondering if he’ll ever find someone to love.

Hope comes in the form of Jay, the cute guy on the volleyball team, who seems to be watching him with intense eyes. Jay may not be as straight as he seems—and might even be into Andrew.

Suddenly, things don’t seem so bleak, and Andrew begins to believe there may be more happiness—and family—to be found.

Remember Me

T.J. Baer

After years of being the quiet, “weird” gay kid with no friends, seventeen-year-old Alex Sato is counting the days until graduation. But when the ghost of handsome, popular soccer star Noah Thornbridge appears in Alex’s English class one morning, Alex grudgingly agrees to help him solve the mystery of his death. Unfortunately, there’s no sign of Noah’s body, and the last thing he remembers is hiking through the woods with two of his friends, who are also missing.

With Noah’s friends’ lives on the line, Alex must push aside his introverted tendencies and better judgment to chase Noah into the woods that claimed him. There, Alex will face more than just the danger of following in Noah’s ghostly footsteps. He’ll face the greatest challenge of his life: not falling in love with a dead boy.

Broken Arrows

Nanouk Kira

Marian despises her life in Nottingham Castle. She feels confined—trapped—especially with her upcoming forced marriage to the sheriff’s cousin. She longs to escape, but has nowhere to run.

She also has a talent for getting into trouble.

When she goes out riding and is captured by outlaws of the notorious Robin Hood, she is stunned to learn that Robin Hood is, in fact, a woman of the same age. She hopes for some help from this outlaw, but Robin only wants to use Marian as a tool to steal the sheriff’s seal.

As she spends time with the outlaws, Marian finally feels freedom she’d never felt before. And she also feels…something for the outlaw Robin Hood. Then an opportunity arises. Rather than Robin using Marian, Marian could work with Robin, team up, and take down the sheriff together.

But…is it wise to trust an outlaw, especially when her heart’s involved?

Nanouk Kira has been making up stories ever since she can remember. As a child she used to pretend to be a character in a different world. Later on she started writing books. She loves a plot twist, a morally grey character and some humor in books. Fun fact: Nanouk started to write Broken Arrows because she used to hate how the “cool” roles in movies were always reserved for men.

The Killing Game

The Killing Game

Chris Bedell

17-year-old Channing Hollingsworth should be focused on retaking the SAT, working on college applications, and partying with friends. Instead, he’s thrust into a world of danger and violence when someone murders his mother.

And the killer doesn’t stop there. The killer stalks Channing and his friends and starts killing them one by one.

If Channing has any hope of escaping alive, he needs to figure out who’s targeting them—and why. If he doesn’t, the bodies will keep piling up, and his own will be the cherry on top.

But when playing amateur detective and probing into the killings, Channing stumbles into decades-old secrets involving his parents and his friends’ parents. No one is completely innocent, and nobody is safe.

Channing’s one rock in this unfolding nightmare is the “situationship” that’s developed between him and a supposedly-straight friend, Rhys Fitzpatrick. But as the killer narrows in, Channing knows it’s only a matter of time before both him and Rhys are the latest bodies stuffed in the morgue.

Devil by the Tail

Caroline Lavoie

In a small town in the Rockies, a mountain looms: the Devil’s Tail. According to local lore, a wicked trickster haunts its slopes, and whoever glimpses it is cursed to lose someone they love.

Alex refuses to believe she’s been cursed. She only ever saw the beast in her nightmares. Even if it’s real, it can’t hurt her because she doesn’t let anyone get too close to her heart. That is, until Amka moves to town. In no time, Alex’s carefully built walls begin to crumble.

But what if Alex’s fear of loss is a curse of its own?

There are a hundred ways to die on the Devil’s Tail, but only one way to break the curse. The path is treacherous, and the beast is waiting.

Nobody Loves an Incubus

Fangville High, #2

Dylan James

Serge is an incubus—one of the sexiest creatures alive. He has reigned long as king of the school.

But after getting his heart broken by a boy he genuinely liked, Serge is facing a crisis of identity. To continue being who he is only seems to lead to loneliness and heartbreak. Maybe he needs to change, to be truer to himself. The bad boy attitude is just an act, after all.

As he navigates this crisis with the help of Bram, his best friend, he starts receiving a nightly visitor—a cute ghost boy with gorgeous eyes, who appears for only a few minutes in the deepest, darkest depths of the night. Serge is desperate to talk to him, to get to know him, but any attempts at communicating with the ghost are met with silence. The boy doesn’t seem to even know he’s there.

To build that bridge and communicate with the ghost, Serge must do the thing he least wants—enlist the help of Victor and Igor, boys he used to tease mercilessly. It’s a gamble and the stakes are high, especially given the fact that life has taught Serge one thing and one thing only…

Nobody love an incubus.

Happy Lucky Everything #3

Kieran Frank

Senior year is just endless drama for Jayden.

From Jayden getting irritated with his mom’s scuzzy new boyfriend to the way Gracie flaunts her Christian superiority over Jayden any chance she gets, Jayden always finds life never goes his way. And when new complications come along like his estranged father re-entering the picture, and brings with him a shocking secret, things just get immeasurably worse.

But there is a bright spot in Jayden’s life. Or two, rather. Ollie and Geoff.

It started as a romance with Ollie but was upended when Geoff entered the picture. Now Jayden is faced with a problem—he likes both boys. A lot. When he’s with one boy, he’s always missing the other, and vice versa.

Could he talk both into a poly relationship? Or will he face losing one of them as a potential boyfriend?
