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?

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.

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Cali Kitsu

My name is Froderick Dracula, but my friends call me Frode. I’m seventeen and starting my junior year of high school. My father, the famous Count Dracula, is not only the most celebrated vampire in the world, but he’s also the school ruler, not to mention a huge idiot. He’s completely out of touch with the world and hates anything that he doesn’t understand—which is basically everything.

Being the son of the ruler of the school and the highest vampire in all of vampire society is hard enough on its own, but there’s one thing I forgot to mention: I’m gay. It’s pretty hard keeping such a big secret, especially with my father trying to convince me to get my first bite out of the way. I’m not interested in biting any girls, though, so that’s not gonna happen.

Starting the first day of school will be just like every other year, boring, bland, full of classes that I don’t care about. That’s what I assumed until our opening assembly, when I saw him. Caleb Cheval. The new vampire in school. He’s also a noble, and he wants to—hold my hand?

Whaaat?! What the fangs am I supposed to do?

Normal

Normal

John Luke Maxwell

Anyone who grew up in the small town of Normal has heard of old Milholland Place. Crispin Galloway certainly has. He's lived next door to the haunted house for years.

It’s now 1997 and a new family is renting the creepy old house. Crispin isn't putting money on them sticking around for very long. Nobody who rents the Milholland Place ever does. He certainly has no intention of going over there himself. After all, he's got enough on his mind, what with having a sexual awakening and crushing on his best friend.

Unfortunately, his new neighbors are in the market for a babysitter to take care of their twin children, and Crispin needs money. The job seems easy enough, even though it means spending an evening at Spook Central, and the money is good. Crispin figures he can handle it.

But then, strange things start happening. Crispin hears noises he shouldn't. Odd messages are left for him. And there is a growing sense that someone—or something—is watching him. Is he merely the victim of a practical joke? Or are the stories about the old Milholland Place rooted in reality?

It's up to Crispin and his friends to discover the truth. Four meddling teenagers and their dog will have to band together to solve this mystery.

And it's not like that's ever happened before!

Mark of Silence and Secrets

Jacyn Gormish

Cassava is a Black Sin—an undesirable from society that has been trained as an assassin.

She goes where the Priests tell her and kills who they deem unworthy. But this next target is one that stops Cassava cold in her tracks; it's not the usual mark she has to take down. The Priests have learned of someone who is able to weave magic—something that shouldn't be possible, and something that needs to be controlled or eliminated. And to take care of this problem, the Priests are sending her to the mainland, a place forbidden to Cassava and her kind.

When she finds this girl who can weave magic, Cassava is immediately attracted and insatiably curious. She's also overwhelmed and in awe of the mainland, by how much more free and open and safe it is compared to the Islands. But that safety and openness is deceptive as her crush—the girl who weaves magic—soon goes missing, and in her search, Cassava unearths dark truths about the mainland.

And only someone like Cassava—a Black Sin—can do something about it.
