Instead, he decides to set up an intergalactic dive diner and I get to be the waitstaff. He could just leave me here. He doesn’t owe me anything. He doesn’t even ask me a lot of questions about my time with the Greys, and he’s such a gentleman about everything I’m sure he’s up to something. Why else would he want to stay on this crappy moon, playing house with me? AmazonKU

The two of us have proven that our relationship is strong enough that we can face anything life throws at us, so I think we can handle a measly book… maybe… I mean, so far it may look like we’re not winning, but that’s just because it’d be boring if heroes won immediately. And it’s not like we have to fight this battle alone, especially with an awe-inspiring dragon familiar who is forced to face his greatest adversary (a common housecat), a narcissistic angel who comes with a sword that compliments every cut made, a centaur who always manages to look like he’s on the set of a cologne commercial, and… Etienne (whatever he is). With the demon I love by my side and my found family, we’re going to stop this darkness before it spreads. But doing so might unveil some things we never expected. AmazonKU AB

COUP DE COUER by Halli Starling
Calix Addington, Earl of Batherton, has a complicated relationship with his friend and former classmate, Lawton Adler. Lawton’s tendency to attract, and often cause, trouble leaves Calix sometimes holding the bag (which definitely happens). Calix is also harboring a secret – he’s an Oracle, like his mother, and in a world where small magic is meant for aesthetics and convenience, larger displays of magic are frowned upon, sometimes illegal, and very much what the church and several important organizations fear. When Calix is stuck with a strange book after Lawton’s shady dealings go wrong one spring morning, he takes shelter in Ethaniel Harkness’s magical tailoring shop. Calix and Ethaniel know each other as customer and tailor, but Ethaniel’s kind heart won’t let Calix stay in danger. As Calix hears the strange book speak in his mind, Ethaniel contacts his old flame Aubrey Lavigne. Aubrey’s expertise with magical objects as the curator for the Magnificus Collectio, an archive hidden behind a tourist trap museum, will be key to understanding what this book truly is. Magic, love, lust, fear, and danger run rampant as this strange book becomes the catalyst for a much larger plot conducted by a secret sect known as The Golden Order. With The Golden Order giving chase to retrieve the book, Calix, Ethaniel, and Aubrey’s lives tangle and they must flee the city to separate Calix from the book, shake off their pursuers, and find time for their burgeoning attractions. COUP DE COEUR has deep roots in the real-life queer history of New York City, but also in art and culture. Amazon

And then, one beautiful April morning, Rebecca the Imp delivers a message to me: Briar, the Fae Lord who helped us when we were trying to save Tad and Hank from Bigfoot, has called in my debt. It’s time to repay the favor.
A dangerous member of the sub-Fae has escaped from the Overking’s realm and it’s loose in Moonshadow Bay. If the Court Magika discovers that a sluagh is running around, it could endanger negotiations between the Witchblood and the Fae. So Briar assigns the task to me: find and destroy the sluagh. The trouble is, I can’t tell my grandmother about it, or any member of the Court. So it’s back to Conjure Ink, to resume work on a part-time basis, and to enlist the agency’s help in tracking down the sub-Fae. Can I manage to clear my debt to the Overkings? And can we destroy the sluagh before it goes on a killing spree through Moonshadow Bay?

HELLHOUNDS AND ANGEL CAKES (SHIFTERS AND SWEETS BOOK FOUR) by Zoe Chant
He’s supposed to be a rough, tough, terrifying hellhound. That’s hard when you’re covered in chihuahuas. Henry’s used to everyone being afraid of him – being a hellhound has that effect on people. What he’s not used to is having every animal within a four-mile radius suddenly wanting to be his best friend. Pigeons roosting on your shoulder: annoying, but mostly harmless. The local moose population stampeding toward you in the hopes of a hug: somewhat more worrying. There’s nothing for it but to escape to the mountains, where he can use his hellhound form to intimidate the local wildlife into leaving him alone. But a stop for one last piece of cake before heading into the wilderness leads him straight to his fated mate. He’s over the moon… but how can he court her when every animal in town is trying to leap into his arms? Travel journalist Luna was looking forward to this assignment: covering the first annual Girdwood Springs Food Festival, along with her trademark: Fillmore, the world’s ugliest dog. Specifically, she was looking forward to sampling all the amazing, mouth-watering local delicacies. But there’s other delights to sample in Girdwood Springs – such as the mind-bogglingly gorgeous, hunky man who is now covered in cake, thanks to Fillmore. And who seems to be strangely popular with the local animal population. Suddenly, writing her article is the last thing on her mind. AmazonKU

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’.
NOTE: I’m doing my best to avoid listing anything generated from use of AI but it’s sometimes tricky to detect from the resources I have available. As far as covers go, I list the Amazon cover. I won’t feature a cover in my weekly promo for this post if I believe or suspect it was done with AI and I use the AI or Not tool to decide.
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!
