Asa Kelby, Director of Entrapment for WesCept, never knows what his job will entail day in and day out. After the earth passed through a comet’s tail, wiping out 90% of all animal species, life changed drastically for both humans and remaining animals. Gone is the surplus of meat for meals, domestic pets, and farm animals. But companies like WesCept are working hard to reverse that.

Scientists have developed a machine that can reach back in time, seize animals of all shapes and sizes, and transport them forward to current time to repopulate the Earth, bringing those species back from extinction, and also provide food for meat-eaters. The biggest problem is they have no control over what animals the Grabber will trap, or even WHEN in history those animals will come from.

At great risk, Asa’s boss tells him to turn up the power on the Grabber, in hopes of bringing in bigger game, but they weren’t quite expecting it to bring in something quite as large or prehistoric as they are soon facing. When the mistake is realized, it’s too late, and they get more than they bargained for. More than the history of Earth itself ever knew existed.And it will shake the very core of everyone’s belief as to humanity’s past.

So I stowed away on a spaceship full of women my government gave to the aliens. I traded my body, my self-respect, for a place to sleep at night and food in my belly a long time ago. So if mating with an alien keeps me from being Big Tony’s next victim, I’m in. How hard could it be? I’d been pretending for years with Tony. Hiding my disgust every time he touched me.

We’re all that’s left – an elite squadron of warriors and the support staff deployed with them on a training mission in deep space. ..(more blurb on ebook seller page…)

untamed reaperUNTAMED REAPER (GATEKEEPER BOOK 3) by Ann Gimpel

I did it! I’m free. Well sort of. Freedom isn’t as cut and dried as the word implies. In this case, I’m at the top of Death’s Worst Reaper Ever list. What it signifies remains to be seen.
I broke free from Death because there wasn’t any other way out of Reaping Vampires. She refused to let me off the hook or consider other arrangements. I’d have been content leaving it at that, but word about my choice got out. Other Reapers clamored for independence too.
Death’s fury expanded another notch with every defection until nowhere is far enough away for me to run to. If I was only fighting her, it might be manageable.

a good chanceA GOOD CHANCE (THE SIREN ISLAND SERIES BOOK 3) by Tricia O’Malley

VS Note: as one reviewer said, apparently there’s a “touch of magic”.

If someone had told Avery that she’d be flying to a tiny island in the Caribbean to film a reality show masquerading as her identical twin sister, she would have thought they were crazy. And yet, she finds herself in a tin can of an airplane, about to land on Siren Island where a film crew waits to document her every move for a new reality love show – Swept Away.

Even though Avery has a long history of helping her sister out of trouble, this time really takes the cake. Avery promises herself that she’ll push herself outside her comfort zone as she’s spent the last several years focusing on her career and healing from a near-death accident. As much as self-reflection can be annoying, Avery admits she’s been letting fear take the reins for too long.

What she doesn’t expect is for Siren Island to live up to its name, nor to actually find love. When she meets the women of the Laughing Mermaid, Avery’s world tilts as everything she’s ever thought to be true of herself, and of the world, gets thrown out the window. As her beliefs get tried, the producer, Roman, can’t seem to stop baiting her as she does her very best to meet the challenges head-on and tries to form a connection with the bachelor, Beckett. As her reality gets rocked, Avery scrambles to not let fear dictate her future, and to emerge from the depths a new woman – ready for love and a life of adventure. If only he will give her a chance.

My name is Zella Healani. I’m a Grim Reaper. Not the kind most think of when they picture the old skeleton guy either. Nope. I’m young, have no swinging stick thing, and am usually swimming with some kind of mind-altering substance.

Don’t let that deter you, though. Not that you actually could. Like it or not, I’ll pull your soul free from your husk and ferry it back to the big soul soup we all start from. You get a new life, and I get a hit of euphoria so pure, it’s addicting. Oh, and some additional powers here and there. But what if someone could stop the Grims from coming for you? And how exactly am I supposed to save a whole world full of souls when no one believes me? That, my new friend, is exactly what I’m going to tell you because somehow, I’ll find my way back to the desolate world I stumbled upon. My only problem? I’ll have to do it while controlling my monster, dealing with three new babysitters, and committing crimes that might just get me thrown into the soul soup, too.

Then hope for their abandoned homeland reignites when a famous creature of legend, and Avalon’s most powerful weapon, the Firebird, appears for the first time in decades. Alex and Tala unite with a ragtag group of new friends to journey back to Avalon for a showdown that will change the world as they know it.

kingdom of backTHE KINGDOM OF BACK by Marie Lu

VS Note: Not a romance, not an adventure, hard to classify but a release of note and intriguing.

Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart. Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish–to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she’ll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age–her tyrannical father has made that much clear.

And as Nannerl’s hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true–but his help may cost her everything. In her first work of historical fiction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu spins a lush, lyrically-told story of music, magic, and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.

Haylie Waters served her country with pride. Deployed overseas, she went out on a routine mission that ended in death, with her the only survivor. The military wrote it up as an IED that destroyed her convoy, killing the people she’d known and worked with every day. Killing her best friend. But Haylie isn’t so sure. And since that life-defining moment, she’s been seeing things she can’t explain. Things she shouldn’t be able to see.
When the Phoenix Agency contacts Elijah Quinn, he figures this is just another routine mission. But when he meets his assignment, she’s anything but routine. He quickly finds himself crossing a line he’d never believed he would. And when the beautiful ex-military goddess Haylie Waters shares her deepest secrets, he steps over another line into a world he’d never imagined existed. Was he crazy? Maybe. But sometimes, it takes a little crazy to save the world.

of magic and scalesOF MAGIC AND SCALES by Natalina Reis

Aiden Mercer’s life now centers around lounging on the sunny beaches of his adopted country with a beer in one hand and a coffee in the other while admiring the local male population. After a rough life as a respected detective in DC, playing it cool shouldn’t be too hard, right? With the magical community on his case and dead bodies piling up around town, the responsibility of finding their killer seems fated to fall on him and deny him of his easy living. Then there is Naël.

Cantankerous merman Naël Fouchard’s life is focused on bringing up and protecting his little sister. When DNA found at the scene of the murders mark him as the prime suspect, Naël seeks out the help of Aiden, whose reputation as a detective grossly belies his lazy lifestyle and apparent lack of ambition. The chemistry between the strong, stoic Naël and the easygoing Aiden is undeniable, no matter how many walls Aiden builds. If this unlikely pair can’t come to terms with their feelings for each other long enough to catch the killer, their emotional turmoil might yet allow the murderer to kill them instead.

only protector alphasONLY PROTECTOR FOR ALPHAS (REBEL WEREWOLVES BOOK 3) by Rosemary A Johns

VS Note: Author is from England so I guess the fact that “Crimson Tide” is an American college football team (and a submarine movie too) didn’t register to her when naming her heroine…stopped me dead when reading the blurb though, I have to say. Not trying to be snarky. Book has good reviews so here it is:

I was gifted three wickedly handsome wolf princes……but now I’m the wolves’ prisoner. I’m Crimson Tide. For centuries, witches have been at war with werewolves. As a kid, mom coached me that I was a Charmer with the badass magical power to control the scorching hot shifters. Except, what if controlling them makes me the bad guy? How do I save my own witchy ass, as well as Wolf Kingdom, when I’m trapped in a wild land of fanatics and secrets? To survive in the Kingdom of the Alphas, I must: Rule #1 Never be tempted by the cursed protection of an Alpha. My pack hold dark and dangerous pasts, but I’m still driven to protect the gorgeous shifters, angels, mages, and gods who are mine. Am I right to trust that they’ll protect me back? Or will loving the wolves get me killed? Either way, I’ll fight for the wolves’ freedom and create a new legacy for the name Crimson Tide……or like the Charmers before me, I’ll become my princes’ worst nightmare.

lord of fireLORD OF FIRE (THE DRAGON DEMI-GODS BOOK 1) by Charlene Hartnady

We can’t help who we are. Some things are preordained. I was born half god and half dragon shifter. We call ourselves the dragon demigods. Mortal, powerful, arrogant as sh!t. Being a dragon demigod has definite perks. Perks we have to be very careful about using, since the humans don’t know about our existence. We’re able to shift into dragon form. We have unique powers. Lastly, we’re attractive to the human race. Handy, since we live among them. Unlike others of my kind, I inherited one of those traits. Only one.

Thing is, I’m okay with that. More than okay. I’m talented at what I do. I own my own custom workshop. I like to get my hands dirty. There is only one rule at my place of business. I never deal directly with the clients. I’m a moody bastard. A loner. Happiest when under the hood of a car. I never once broke my rule, until the day she walked into my shop.
How could he have done this? I should be sad. I should be grieving but I’m not. All I can feel is angry. My brother killed himself because he owed a lot of money to the worst kind of people and now, they’re after me. They want payment one way or another. For the last couple of weeks, all I’ve done is exist. Running from one place to the next. These murderous gangsters are right on my tail. They’re slowly catching up to me. It won’t be long and they’ll have me. Just when I think it can’t get any worse, my car breaks down. That’s when I meet him. A beast of a man. He’s rude. He’s conceited. He might be exactly what I need to get out of this mess.

Her Navy career blew up in her face, pigeon shifters stole her grandmother’s necklace, and the cops won’t even take her police report.

AKRA—A rare creature of myth and power…The only thing worse than dying is being killed by those who are supposed to love and protect you, not once but twice.

But when fate grants her the revenge she’s been waiting an eternity to achieve, is it simply a darker destiny set in motion from the past?
BALKY—Half brother to Zeus…Cursed from the moment he’d been created, his true origins hidden behind a hideous veneer, he did what he had to survive. Balthazar knows all about evil, inside and out as he’s forced to do his master’s bidding, controlling the beast within himself lest he becomes the monster he loathes. Until he sees a being worthy of saving, sacrificing a part of himself, knowing it would likely cost his very soul.
ICHIROU—A former demon-possessed Grim Reaper…Locked inside his own mind, Ichirou spent his entire life possessed by a demon who only allowed him slivers of clarity.

Together they form a blood brother bond that’s shaken to their core by one crazy female—Akra.
Viscerally, Akra is the perfect female… Except she’s a demoness. A being they both loathe. However, neither man can deny she awakens something deep within them, a primal part that had been dormant and shows no sign of going away. Akra is unlike anyone they’ve ever encountered and soon they realize she is their Fated. Can Balky with the blood of Zeus running through him, and Ichirou with the knowledge of his demon, save Akra from an old enemy and find happiness, or will history repeat itself?

The term “new” is generally plus or minus a week or two. I try to catch up on ones I missed in recent months.  And I may mention ‘special items’.

I do NOT cover every single new release in SFR/FantasyR/PNR. I never have. That would be an impossible task for any human! I assemble my list by hand every week based on various informal inputs, and I do curate the list to some extent…

I check and verify all the buy links at the time I create the post  but after that I’m not responsible.

4 comments on “New Releases in #SciFi #Fantasy and Paranormal Romance for Wednesday MAR 4

  1. Reblogged this on EG Manetti and commented:
    Marvelous array of new SFR and PNR this week including Honey Phillips latest Cyborgs of Mars and Pauline Baird Jones independent release of her last Pets in Space contribution.

  2. Thank for adding my book to the list! On a side note, Doom is not simply a release but a full-length novel of the short story from Pets in Space with almost double the content from the original story <3
