""A red-hot sapphic romance that's perfect for Ali Hazelwood fans."-Timothy Janovsky, USA Today bestselling author of The (Fake) Dating Game
A fire-starting scientist and a bi firefighter team up to save their best friend from an epic mistake in this celebration of queer joy, perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ashley Herring Blake.
Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for a master's in fire dynamics and some much-needed space. Now she's back, ready to hit reset on her life…and take one last chance on best friend/unrequited love Skylar Clark. But Nic's plans crumble when Skylar announces she's quitting her job and moving to Fiji for secret reasons-another typical Skylar disaster in the making. It's a giant red flag, and Nic feels like she's the only one who sees it… Until she meets Kira.
Kira McKinney stepped in as Skylar's safety net friend while Nic was away. She's got plenty of her own problems-can't get promoted, cancels all her dates, her fire chief father's legacy-but when Skylar makes her announcement, Kira knows she's needed again. Fortunately, Kira finds an ally in Nic, and when talking to Skylar doesn't work, there's only one option left: shenanigans.
But as all their efforts go up in smoke, one thing becomes wildly clear. The situation between Nic and Kira is heating up…but they'll have to let go of the past first if they don't want to get burned.

Harper Reid’s summer is not off to a great start. After the death of her grandpa, she moves across the country, leaving her friends and Dungeons & Dragons group behind.

When Harper discovers Ollie and her friends are starting a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign, she quickly joins the group.
As Harper and Ollie reconnect in the real world, romantic tension begins to build between Harper’s brash barbarian and Ollie’s proud paladin, but it’s all just part of the game, right?
Ollie’s future depends on keeping her bisexuality private, while Harper’s dreams include an out-and-proud life in their rural town. But as their feelings continue to grow with each gaming session, their relationship begins threatening everything they’ve worked so hard to build.
As the school year comes to a close and the campaign’s final boss looms on the horizon, Harper and Ollie must decide: are their feelings more than just a fantasy? Because if they want a second chance at love, they’ll have to fight for it, both in-game and in real life."

Nur diesmal ist seine Pechsträhne mit dem Rauswurf keineswegs beendet, eigentlich fängt sie sogar erst richtig an:
Nax' Rückflug zur Erde wird jäh unterbrochen, als eine Gruppe Terroristen die Akademie angreift. Nur knapp gelingt Nax mit drei anderen die Flucht – damit sind die vier Verstoßenen plötzlich die einzigen Augenzeugen des größten Verbrechens seit Beginn der Besiedelung des Weltalls.

"A breakneck adventure for the Serenity crew in the seventh original novel tying into the beloved Firefly series from creator Joss Whedon
A simple jobSerenity is bound for the planet Kerry with a hold full of sealed, unidentified cargo for the planet’s highest-ranking nobleman. The duke is a surprisingly genial man whose court brings all the fanciness and fun of Persephone’s high society but little of the pretension—and, most importantly, he’s got the promise of more work.
Some fine hospitalityObliged to stick around while Inara is with a client—and hoping to score future employment—the crew settles in. The liquor flows freely at court, and there’s food, entertainment, and comfortable lodgings to enjoy. Everyone is thrilled but Zoë. Her gut says something is off.
A vicious massacreWhen the duke’s estate is attacked in the middle of the night, Mal sends Serenity to safety while he and Zoë investigate. What they find turns the whole story of Kerry upside-down. Revolution is brewing, and each of them will have to decide where to make their stand, even if it lands them on opposite sides …"
"Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. They’re the Guardians of the Galaxy, turning a tidy profit as heroes for hire—or they will be if Peter Quill can get his act together. After he botches the most critical part of their latest mission—getting paid—his newly assembled crew is close to ditching him for good. Now he needs a big payday, fast. When an old acquaintance shows up offering a whole lot of units for a field trip to Peter’s past, it’s a no-brainer. Thirteen years ago, Peter fought the Chitauri alongside the Resistance on Mercury to prevent an invasion of Earth. Now it’s time to go back. The old Resistance base has a squatter, and it’s up to the Guardians to “gently escort” them off the premises… and unmask a wartime traitor while they’re at it. But war is heavy, man, and the Galactic War screwed up each of the Guardians in their own special ways. The brand-new team is barely hanging together, and the mission brings up all kinds of bad memories. It’s make or break time for the Guardians, and they do so love breaking things… Just hopefully not each other."
"From the author of The Disasters, this genre-bending YA fantasy heist story is perfect for fans of Marie Lu and Amie Kaufman.
In Kyrkarta, magic—known as maz—was once a freely available natural resource. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that’s tightly controlled—and, of course, outrageously expensive.
Which is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever.
But when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they’re driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplague—and possibly save the world.
No pressure."
"The Breakfast Club meets Guardians of the Galaxy in this YA sci-fi adventure by debut author M. K. England.
Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So it’s not exactly a surprise when he’s kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than twenty-four hours. But Nax’s one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy.
Nax and three other washouts escape—barely—but they’re also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats.
On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth. Because they may not be “Academy material,” and they may not even get along, but they’re the only ones left to step up and fight.
Full of high-stakes action, subversive humor, and underdogs becoming heroes, this YA sci-fi adventure is perfect for fans of Illuminae, Heart of Iron, or the cult classic TV show Firefly and is also a riviting thrill ride that anyone—not just space nerds—can enjoy."
