Now available! Dreamwalkers by Leslie Rush

BLURB:
Between working in her mom's tarot shop and trying to graduate before her nine-year-old genius brother beats her to it, Vivian Night Hawk has only one escape from her tiny New Mexico town: the ability to control her dreams, a gift she inherited from her Apache father. But lately that control is slipping, stranding her in a nightmare that seems to follow her even when she's awake.

When she finds a jacket she suspects belonged to her dead father, Vivi steps beyond lucid dreaming and discovers the electrifying secret of dreamwalking---the power to control the dreams of others. But with it comes a deadly menace: a top-secret CIA plot that threatens her brother, Brian.

Sought out by fellow dreamwalker Lucas, who is convinced their fathers are still alive, Vivi ventures deep into Dreamland to find the key to protecting Brian. As the bond between Vivi and Lucas ignites, the conspiracy linking them together closes in, and Vivi must unlock the darkest power of all--a power that begins with her father's quiet words: "Walk with me."

Azure Brimvine lives in a world decimated by magic. One where humans have retreated underground from the overwhelming dangers of the surface. But Below is no safer than Above. Magic borne plagues continue to eat away at the remaining human cities.

But when Azzy's brother, Armin, is infected and cast out into the Above, she sets out after him, determined to be there for him no matter what he becomes. The world Above is full of monsters, both wild and cunning, some more human than Azzy was led to believe.

We have two covers to share today! The paperback and hardback covers of Our Vicious Hearts by Whitney L. Spradling.

Blurb:
Welcome to Lustros Magical University.

Growing up in a family full of powerful magicals, it shouldn't be a surprise I got accepted into Lustros Magical University. There's just one problem:
I don't have any magic.

Everything seems normal, at first. I attend classes, and spend my free time studying. I don't socialize much, but when have I ever? Then things start happening to me that I can't explain, and I find myself turning to these three guys, twin tiger shifters and a mage with his own magical issues.

They have their own reasons for attending LMU, a mystery they're looking to solve, and I learn quickly that I'm somehow a part of it. Now they have to keep me safe from the malevolent spirits hunting me while also looking for clues. All of which is complicated enough, but I'm starting to have feelings for them, all of them.

Fate has made herself at home with my family, and I'm about to find out firsthand what that means.

Happy Release Day to Gianne Rabena for Love and Justice.

Blurb:
KARLA has always felt like an outsider for being a superhero geek, now she has literal powers, new friends, and a chance to get close with her costumed idol, Maya Girl. Plus, a spark with her crush, Andre. Maybe being a chosen one isn't so bad? But when Karla's gift starts to feel more like a curse, everything is riding on her proving she's hero-material.

ANDRE expected trouble when the Organization told him he had a role to play in their prophecy, but he didn't count on the physical upgrades. Just when he got the hang of his electricity powers, it seems his connection with Karla has given him more strength than he realized. Now they think it's his responsibility to be invincible, but he isn't sure he's up for the task.

CURTIS is anything but legendary like his father, the late sun-themed Kapitan Araw, or unreachable like his powerless girlfriend seems to think. Fresh from training in the Engkanto world, he has a lot to prove, but dark secrets surrounding his father's legacy may overshadow everything.

The Organization of Superhumans expects the Prophecy kids to act like Superheroes in their contingency plan against 'another war'. Superhuman murderers, monsters, and a terrible storm are just part of the training.

Heart, Hero, and Light will have to face more than their heroes' expectations, especially when they find they may have more in common with their enemies.

☀☀☀

Fans of Heroes of Olympus, Young Justice, and My Hero Academia will find new heroes to root for and couples to ship in the second book in the New Heroes Series of Filipino YA Superhero Fantasy Books. It is equal parts romancing the Superhero genre and a new voice on Urban Myth and Fantasy.

Happy Release Day to C. Vonzale Lewis for Zealot, book two of the Blood & Sacrifice Chronicles.

BLURB:
Nicole Fontane thought her demons were buried deep enough.

She was wrong.
After barely escaping the blood bath orchestrated by the Stewart family in their Harvest ritual, Nicole and her allies are hired to rid the island of all Blood Magick users.
Their first assignment leads them to The Better Day Church and the mysterious Young Family, whose cult-like behavior is well known on the island.
But soon, Nicole realizes she may be in over her head. Old memories of a cult buried deep in the Louisiana bayou resurface along with flickers of Nicole’s traumatic past, and the altar she barely escaped from when she was a teenager.
So, when Nicole receives an invitation to the Young family’s private residence to attend a secret meeting with The Daughters of the Vine—an elusive sect of women led by Gavina Young—she knows there is no escaping her fraught history with cults because the sickness lurking behind the walls of the Young family’s manor runs far deeper than the dangerous allure of Blood Magick.
Nicole will need to master her newfound abilities soon, or she may just end up on the altar again.

Check out this beautiful cover! A Hex to Remember by Lou Wilham, book 4 of the Witches of Moondale.

Blurb:
There is no rest for the wicked.

If Azure Elwood thought getting their new coven members settled would free up a moment for her to propose to the woman she loves, and spend time with her new family, she was very much mistaken. Moondale, as always, has other plans, and they come in the shape of a centennial celebration full of issues. Missing tables. Stolen scissors. And ghosts? Well, it’s just another day in Moondale, Maryland.

The first rule of necromancy is simple, spirits lie. Icarus “Rus” Ashthorne is intimately familiar with this fact, so when Az’s ancestor appears again with a warning about the Soul Jumper making a return, she knows there’s more to this story. She just isn’t sure what it is. And with Az determined to propose, Rus will have to unearth all the skeletons she thought she’d buried.

There’s a prophecy still hanging above their heads, the centennial is falling apart, and ghosts are literally walking among them. The Coven of the Forgotten is up to its eyeballs in problems. What else could possibly go wrong?

Genre: Adult Cozy Paranormal/Urban Fantasy

All Tony McMahon has ever known is change, and as he struggles to accept his werewolf nature, and his new position as one of Eric’s boyfriends, he doesn’t really recognize himself or his life anymore.
Science and Eric are the two things Hunter’s been sure of since he was a teen. But with his growing feelings for Tony making things at home. . . complicated, and his refuge—the lab—being invaded by the Council, Hunter’s only option is to fight. The trouble? He’s never been much of a fighter.
