THRONE OF THE HORDE KING (HORDE KINGS OF DAKKAR BOOK 6) by Zoey Draven
High in the icy northlands of Dakkar, I’ve lived a sheltered, predictable, and safe life. My days are spent caring for an ancient temple and staying out of the priestesses’ way. My nights are spent pouring over the great stories of warrior kings and the queens that stole their hearts. But I have a secret. I’m a hybrid female. Half-Dakkari, half-human, the first of my kind. The priestesses have risked everything to keep me hidden from the dangerous hordes that roam the wild lands and the greedy king that sits on the throne in Dothik. I am the secret they could never let free. Then a horde king—with molten eyes and the body of a battle god—shows up at the temple’s gates, demanding entry. He’s the one I see in my dreams, all ruthless, merciless strength and a tempting smirk to match. Only, he’s not the gentle male I always imagined. He’s cunning, sensual, cruel…and he thinks that everything has a price. Even me. With a growing danger in the east and a precarious throne in the west, he steals me away from the sacred temple with daring plans all his own. He thinks I’m a naive temple girl, who will bend easily to his demands. Instead, I fight him at every turn, showing him claws of my own. Instead of fear, lust begins to rise between us—hot, addicting, and forbidden. His teasing touch makes me tremble. His stolen kisses make me weak. But the horde king of Rath Serok is as mysterious as he is devilish. And he has his own secret…one that will forever change the future of Dakkar. Amazon KU

To stop a ruthless assassin, the lawwoman and the underworld queen are going to have to strike a truce. It’s a risky business, and Kalandri knows she’ll regret it. If she lives that long, anyway.

UMBRA (WITH THE SHADOWS BOOK 1) by Delilah Mohan
I was born a human, but lived my life as a mutant, pulling shadows to hide myself. It was useful skill when you worked for the government as their top assassin, slaying the enemies of this world. Only what if I hadn’t been slaying the enemies and this entire time I’d worked for the wrong side of humanity? Never once had I questioned my life, my job, the government, until they handed me a file with three marks, and I confidently set out to kill. But I hadn’t expected to be seen in the dark and captured by three ruthless and sexy mutants, who insist that I am the omega their hierarchy had been looking for. They were monsters. This I knew. Yet, the words they spoke raised questions and I, well, I needed answers. With Warren, Ansel and Rex at my side, I was forced to look outside the prettily painted box the government had allowed its citizens to see, and into the chaotic mess of the mutant world as they fought for the survival of their people. We needed answers and the only way to get answers was to be the monsters they label us as. Ruthless. Conniving. Cruel. It’s a cruel world out there, and the cruelest monsters always win. Amazon KU

TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin
VS Note: Not a romance but a scifi release of note with a lot of buzz. The blurb talks about love but I have no idea if there’s an HEA. Sounds good though, put it on my TBR list.

For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts. Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Gypsum, the sixth of seven sisters, has always been a rebel.

But as the date of the Mongols’ return draws near, Ilarians of all types must work together if they are to have any hope of surviving. And the reczavy, for all of their odd ways, do have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. Well, up their sleeves whenever they are bothering to wear clothes, that is. Gypsum is touched when her oldest sister Ryalgar comes to call, and brings an olive branch with her. Ryalgar recognizes that the reczavy have as much to lose as anyone, and as much to contribute. Will Gypsum accept a key role in the plan to stop the invasion? Of course she will. Unfortunately, her playmates don’t all feel the same sense of urgency. Many would rather simply enjoy the time they have left. A few claim to be allergic to long term planning. And some are too busy with their own poorly-timed plans to overthrow the government Ilari already has.
Good thing needlepoint is the one traditional skill at which Gypsum has always excelled. She will need to thread a fine needle in order to coax this recalcitrant group into becoming life-saving warriors of a very different kind.

Something Wicked to Haven Hollow Comes…At least, I hope it’s not wicked. What is it? A book. But it’s not like any book you’ve ever heard of or seen before.

As if that weren’t enough to cause the hair on the back of my neck to sit up and take notice, Vellum has an owner. And a few days later, I meet that owner.

Her fear is what sent her running, but her heart is what makes her stay. This brutal Mountain Warrior might be the leader of the horde, but he’ll get on his knees for her.

OWNER (BLOOD BROTHERHOOD) by Loki Renard
VS Note: From JUNE 24
A little wench has cheated the brotherhood, and stolen from me personally. Now she has the nerve to try to sell my own relic back to me? Not going to happen. I will catch and tame this minx. I’ll taste her tears, and I will revel in her cries. I’ll enjoy her struggles almost as much as I’ll enjoy breaking her.
She took my property – but she’s the one who’ll end up owned. Amazon KU

LINKS TO RECENT NEW RELEASES POSTS from Veronica:
“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…
Some authors aren’t in KU but still don’t list books with Apple or other platforms. This report is very time consuming to prepare so I’ve always had to limit myself and cannot go and look up every book on all the platforms. If an author gives me their other buy links, I include them here but generally I develop the post on my own, not from author-supplied information. I curate and prepare this post individually every week to help connect readers/books/authors and I have to be very careful not to give it so much time as an activity that I don’t write my own novels! Thanks for the feedback and happy reading!
I check and verify all the buy links at the time I create the post but after that I’m not responsible.
