Here’s the weekly post from my author blog on the new releases I found to be of interest in my three favorite romance genres (which are also the ones I write in!), and related areas such as time travel, steampunk, paranormal cozy romances and more. I do sometimes cover other releases of note in science fiction and fantasy.
As always, I recommend sampling before you buy! I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts). I don’t pick up every single new release each week but try to provide a representative subset and lots of choices.
Here’s a teaser for this week’s first two books (jump to the blog to see the approximately 68+ titles featured this week):
THYROS THE CELESTIAL WAR (ARKHEVARI RISING BOOK THREE) by Bella Blair
f she is the key to saving the universe… then I will destroy anyone who tries to use her. NAERIS –
My people called me sacred. Chosen. Blessed. What they really meant was owned. For generations, the Sythari bred us, controlled us, and decided our futures before we ever took our first breath. I was supposed to accept my fate. To smile. To obey. Instead, I ran. For five years, I’ve fought beside rebels, crossed half the galaxy, and searched for one thing the Sythari claimed never existed. Earth. The birthplace of humanity. The answer to questions older than my species. I thought finding it would finally set me free. Instead, it led me to him. Thyros. A golden god forged inside the Dark Abyss itself. The Arkhevari’s executioner. A male feared by immortals and whispered about in nightmares. He looks at me like he already knows me. Like he has been waiting for me. And every time he does, something inside me responds. Something terrifying. Because the war consuming the universe is older than any empire. The darkness hunting us knows my name. And the closer I get to Thyros, the more I fear I was never searching for Earth at all. I was searching for him. THYROS – I was born in darkness. Forged inside Nox Eternum. The flaw the universe could not erase. While my brothers dreamed of lost worlds and forgotten lives, I became …(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)
BOTANICAL MISCHIEF (THE COSMIC DRYAD SERIES BOOK ONE) by T A White
Self-confessed hermit. Plant lover. And enthusiastic introvert, Pityrodia Augustensis, Gus, for short, knows three things. People, no matter their species—human, Haldeel, or Tuann—are confusing. She has forty three siblings and every single one is as baffling as they are violent. And lastly, the dead man lying on her doorstep is going to upend her hard earned peace and quiet. When that dead man turns out to be very much alive and not dead at all, Gus finds herself drawn into a scheme with galactic implications. Pursued from one end of the space station, Titan, to the next, Gus is forced to abandon the comfort of her sanctuary in hopes of uncovering the mastermind of a plot that threatens her peaceful existence. The consequences should she fail are being named the scape goat for someone else’s crimes—and, well, death. No pressure then. Just another day on Titan. Haven to pirate clans and criminal enterprises alike
