Apocalypse? Check. Demonic invasion? Check. A hellhound with an attitude problem? Unfortunately, check.

Artemus Steele’s life was weird enough before he started juggling flaming swords and battling creatures from the pit. Now he’s part of a ragtag team trying to stop Armageddon, armed with nothing but newfound powers they can’t control, a book of prophecies they can’t read, and a hellhound who keeps eating the furniture.

As Chicago becomes the flashpoint for celestial warfare, Artemus and his misfit crew must master their abilities, decipher ancient riddles, and save the world – all while dodging fireballs, demon claws, and the occasional hellhound temper tantrum.

Who knew the End of Days would be this ridiculous?

Blood & Bones is the first book in AD Starrling’s urban fantasy series Legion, the spin-off of her bestselling supernatural thriller series Seventeen. This is an action-packed paranormal adventure featuring smart-mouthed heroes, angels, demons, myths, monsters, and a hellhound disguised as a rabbit.

Bookish introvert Morgen Keller never thought she would have a midlife crisis. That was before her husband divorced her, her boss let her go, and her grandmother died.

Forty wasn’t supposed to look like this.

When Morgen inherits Grandma’s old farmhouse in the small town of Bellrock, Washington, it could be a chance for a fresh start.

There are just a few problems…

A fearsome werewolf has claimed the property for himself, Grandma didn’t die of natural causes, and, oh, she was a witch.

Embroiled in a mystery, and heir to powers she knew nothing about, Morgen must turn to the only person who might be able to help: the werewolf who threatened to rip her throat out for trespassing.

This isn’t the fresh start on life that Morgen had in mind.

Magical matchmaking, family secrets, and wicked witches collide in this spellbinding cozy romantasy from mother-daughter writing duo ReGina Welling and Erin Lynn.

Some fates are harder to avoid than others.

When your family legacy comes with a body count and a curse that turned Grandma into a lawn ornament, believing you’re normal isn’t really an option.

Lexi’s badass witch ancestors were long revered as Keepers of the Balefire Flame—until a family feud pitted her mother and grandmother against one another. Their infamous magical battle didn’t just destroy each other; it turned the Balefire name into a punchline, leaving Lexi to tend the hearth alone.

The problem? Lexi’s never unlocked more than a whisper of power, one she credits for crafting unbreakable happily-ever-afters for her matchmaking clients, but it’s useless for much else. When it comes to the Balefire, her three well-meaning but troublesome faerie godmothers do all the heavy lifting.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW AN EXCITING SERIES FROM NETFLIX • The shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning in this “tour de force of genre-bending, a brilliantly realized exercise in science fiction.”—The New York Times Book Review

In the twenty-fifth century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person’s consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or “sleeve”) making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats “existence” as something that can be bought and sold.

All Shane wanted was to get away from the wreckage of his career for a while. He picked New York City to provide him with a distraction from his early, unwanted retirement from the police force. New York City delivered, distracting him with three corpses and a miniature llama with a spitting problem and an attitude.

If he wants to return to a normal life, he’ll have to face off against a sex trafficking ring targeting the woman of his dreams, ancient vampires, murderous criminals, his parents, and an FBI agent with a hidden agenda. Some days, it isn’t easy being an ex-cop.

Warning: This novel contains excessive humor, action, excitement, adventure, magic, romance, and bodies. Proceed with caution.

Since when did magic come with an age limit? Sixty is the new sorcery, people!

A feisty crone, a snarky cat, and a whole lotta magical chaos—welcome to Silver Island, where the tea is hot, the gossip is hotter, and the spells sometimes backfire spectacularly.

Ginnie Sullivan, at the fabulous age of 64, has the witchy life all figured out. She’s Silver Island’s go-to gal for potions, hexes, and a side of sass. Sure, her familiar, Mabon, is a fluffy dictator with a snark streak longer than the mainland ferry route, but that’s par for the broomstick, right?

Enter Morgan, Ginnie’s long-lost niece, fresh off a runaway bride stunt that would make a soap opera blush. The groom? A smug warlock from Maine’s magical elite. His family? Rich, ruthless, and ready to hex anyone who crosses them. And the kicker? Morgan’s made off with a mystical amulet that’s basically a magical nuke in the wrong hands.

Now, Ginnie’s quiet island life is toast. Her nightmare half-sister Katherine blows in like a category-five storm, armed with guilt trips and wedding favors. The groom and his magical mafia aren’t far behind, demanding the amulet or else. Suddenly, Ginnie’s cozy little world is ground zero for spells, shouting matches, and maybe a fireball or two.

With Mabon delivering sarcastic commentary like it’s his full-time job, Ginnie’s got to dig deep into her magical mojo to outwit her scheming family, keep her niece from becoming Mrs. Warlock Wannabe, and save her island from turning into a magical war zone.

Because if sixty is the new sorcery, Ginnie’s not going down without a fight—or at least a few epic comebacks.
