The Cafe at the End of the World: The meet-cute between cosy romance and apocalypse you didn't know you needed

"Bloomsbury presents… The Café at the End of the World by Helen Comerford read by Olivia Forrest THE END IS BREWING ... Love, lattes, and world-ending drama – life just got a lot less cosy for Lydie, teenage daughter of Death. The cosy romcom/fantasy obsession you didn’t know you needed. Come for the cinnamon rolls, stay for the apocalypse. Lydie, the daughter of Death, a retired Rider of the Apocalypse, is obsessed with ‘cosy’; cosy books, cosy job in the family café, cosy low-drama life. But then secretive, attractive, and above all annoying, Kai, bursts into the café in a flurry of autumn leaves, with secrets that threaten to change everything. Big, un-cosy things are coming for Lydie whether she likes it or not, and working with Kai might be the only way to protect her town. Provided she doesn't fall for him first ...

She can be 'just friends' with Blaze while handling intensive hero-training exercises, a world-ending prophecy and her own power-triggering panic attacks … She can be the perfect hero.

The Love Interest

"Bloomsbury presents The Love Interest by Helen Comerford, read by Carla Harrison-Hodge and Jamie Hoskin. A swoony, speculative and entirely electric YA debut with a humorous and satirical take on the conventions of the superhero-verse, for fans of Michelle Quach’s Not Here To Be Liked and the Marvel Universe. Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray has just been saved by the world’s newest superhero, Blaze. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing: Jenna Ray has been cast as the Love Interest. No. Not happening. Not if Jenna has anything to say about it (even if Blaze is actually quite sweet and cute). But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and turn down this new role are thwarted when the Villains begin to take an interest in her and offer a life-changing proposition; become Blaze’s Love Interest, while avoiding catching feelings for him, to uncover the HPA’s secret plans and find her missing mum. To make matters even more complicated, just as Jenna starts to embrace her new-found career, she discovers she might be more on the side of the superheroes than she ever imagined … C 2024 Helen Comerford P 2024 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC"
