Saphira Aelin

Hollis expects nothing from life beyond her quiet village—until the Academy calls. Every 18-year-old is tested for magic, but she’s sure she’ll be sent back home. Instead, she shocks everyone: powerful, gifted, and destined for more than she ever dreamed. As secrets from her past surface and a chilling vision of blood and thunder haunts her, Hollis sets off to uncover who she really is. Magic pulses through her veins—but so do questions of love, loyalty, and a terrifying power she might not control. One thing’s clear: she can’t go back to ordinary now.

Alpha Thomas Shadowborne hasn’t stepped into the spotlight since losing his mate—until his pack acquires the Ridgewood Howlers, a scandal-prone hockey team made up of mixed shifters. He’s only supposed to show up for one game. He doesn’t even like hockey. But when a star player knocks Raven Stormwood to the ground, Thomas can’t look away. Raven’s a hybrid—half human, half wolf—and no one has ever claimed her as worth fighting for. Not her father. Not her mate. But Alpha Shadowborne sees something no one else does. And his wolf is done staying silent. Things are about to get complicated... and delicious.

As power, passion, and peril swirl around her, she has one question to answer: is fate unbreakable, or is there still time to choose her own ending?

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

Kelly Lord

My sexy-ass stepbrother is going to be the death of me.

When my mom decided to marry his hillbilly dad, I was pissed.

I mean, their woodsy cabin doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Not kidding.

But then I actually met my new stepbrother, Sam. And fuck… He’s totally hot. And into me.

Which is totally gross. Even if his abs are to die for. And his smile is amazing. And he’s good with his hands. And who am I kidding? He’s an adonis.

It’s no surprise that, after our parents’ wedding, we slipped up and ended up making out on the living room floor. Now I’m screwed. I’m addicted to his sculpted body.

And that was before I learned his furry secret.

Who would have known the beast between his legs wasn’t the only surprise in store?
