Cover Reveal: Red's Hood by Esmeralda F.

We're thrilled to present the cover of Red's Hood, an upcoming paranormal romance by Esmeralda F.!

Red's Hood
by Esmeralda F.
Expected Release Date: March 24, 2026
Genre: PNR/ Red Riding Hood Inspired

  • Forced proximity
  • One bed
  • Small town
  • Werewolves
  • Who did this to you?

What if instead of heeding the warnings, Red Riding Hood learned to run with the wolves?

RED'S HOOD is a modern-day paranormal romance inspired by Red Riding Hood. With its sizzling chemistry, playful banter, and gut-wrenching plot, you won't want to miss it.

Hoping to provide a better life for her family, Roan Brown took a loan from the wrong crew. When they come to collect and she’s short, the thing she cares about most is taken as collateral. Desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get it back, she turns to Obol Reed—the town’s newest resident.

Little does she know, he has an agenda of his own.

Obol Reed is traveling the country, on a mission to cut loose ends from his past. It’s no coincidence his journey includes only small-towns with one thing in common—werewolves. During his latest stop, rather than unearth the answers he seeks, he finds a new mystery in Roan Brown—beautiful, sassy, and in over her head.

To save Roan from herself, Obol will make a choice that’ll change their lives forever.

In a town where secrets have claws and ignorance is deadly, can a cynic who believes magic is "ridiculous" and an outcast with a dark secret—or two—trust each other enough to survive? As stakes rise, revelations will threaten to shatter everything they know about themselves.

Vincent Asposito lives a life of luxury, locked in a gilded cage by his father. Longing to break free, Vinny devises a daring plan to sneak out, only to have his first taste of freedom end in being kidnapped by Jude, the human son of the resistance leader.

Cover Reveal: Wolfsbane Hall by Hazel St. Lewis

WOLFSBANE HALL is an adult romantasy-thriller that is a blend of The Phantom of the Opera and the Clue Movie. If you enjoy books with hidden identities, forced proximity, villain daddies, betrayal, a haunted house, and love squares, you will love this story.

Wolfsbane Hall

by Hazel St. Lewis
Expected Release: Oct 21
Genre: Adult Romantasy-thriller

-Hidden Identities
-Shadow Daddy
-Three Villain Daddies
-Dueling Phantoms
-Love Square
-Forced Proximity
-Sentient House
-Twists


An actress at a magical murder mystery party where everything is real—including the murder—is poisoned and must unmask her killer by the end of the show or stay dead forever.

Actress Celestine Sinclair works at the infamous Wolfsbane Hall, a 1930s San Francisco murder-mystery nightclub. The shows are designed by the Specter, the cloaked owner of the club and the source of all its magic. His den of nightmares is governed by one rule: every murder must be solved, for then and only then will the dead come back to life. Every night, someone dies and, hopefully, is also resurrected.

One night Wolfsbane Hall is taken over by the Specter’s nemesis, who intends to destroy everything the Specter loves—including Celestine. As part of his twisted game, he poisons and challenges Celestine to unmask the Specter’s true identity before the poison destroys her. Only, Wolfsbane Hall has existed for hundreds of years without anyone uncovering its owner’s name.

The three prime suspects are all handsome, socialite gentlemen who are just devilish enough to be the Specter or his nemesis. Unfortunately, Celestine cares for all three gentlemen–one is her lover, one is her nemesis, and one is her best friend–but one of them has already betrayed her. Worse, she only has three hours to receive the antidote, or she will die and stay dead forever.

Triggers: sexually explicit content, alcohol and drug consumption (limited), blood and gore, on-page violent death, suicidal ideation (limited), discussion of past trauma, more blood and gore.

Daemones ex Machina
by Russell Anders
Release Date: July 23rd, 2025
Genre: Cyberpunk/Urban Fantasy Fiction
Publisher: Acorn Publishing
If you make a deal with the Devil, don’t forget to read the fine print.

Three operatives find themselves on the run after a corporate sabotage job goes awry. Now, their predatory employer, a heavyweight weapons-tech firm, wants its elite A-team dead at all costs. Jon is a smooth-talking charmer. Friedrich is a hacker prodigy. And Guion is the ice-cold tactician who keeps them all in line.

Backs against the wall, the men strike separate infernal pacts to stay alive. They vanish into the urban badlands of New York’s Five Hives, vowing to lie low and figure out why they’ve become targets. Meanwhile, Jon suspects there’s an insidious evil possessing his friends, and he wonders if they all got more than they bargained for.

Amid an escalating war between local gangs and the firm’s private shock troops, the fugitives uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy everyone they know and love. But can they stop the destruction before their inner demons seize control?

At the age of four, Russell Anders started telling stories, often interrupting his mother during bedtime reading to ask, “Then what happened?” She always answered, “You tell me,” and his imagination conjured fantastical tales of dragons and dinosaurs.

He gravitated toward a career as a technical writer and writing coach for software companies. He also briefly served as a columnist for Dragon Magazine. One of his favorite hobbies includes tabletop role playing, especially as the game master. And yes, he's as cruel to the characters in his games as he is to the characters in his books; his players love him for it.

Russel lives with the constant canine companionship of whip-smart but goofy Sigurd, an English Mastiff (the best breed ever).

Daemones ex Machina is his debut novel.

I can’t fight back, not while she’s holding the lives of those I love as leverage. She’s determined to use my rare ability to bond banshees—mutated druadans evolved to survive the wastelands—believing it’s the key to saving the country.

The clock to save the country is ticking, but if I don’t find a way to escape, the person my riders love, the person I am, might be lost forever.

Cover Reveal: Who Owns You?, Book One by Glenn Thomas


Who Owns You?, Book One
by Glenn Thomas
Date to be Published: October 11th
Genre: Science Fiction
Set in the early 23rd century, THE STARS RAIN DOWN follows an android woman pursuing a renegade human. At the same time, he searches for his missing wife and child, abducted by alien pirates, and sold into slavery. Special Agent Catherine Mercer, an artificial intelligence and agent of Interplanetary Security (think FBI in space), is given the assignment to pursue and apprehend Rick McCabe, a freighter pilot suspected of illegally smuggling passengers to the free colony of Aranae, some 1300 light years from Earth. Rick, on the other hand, on route to Aranae, was attacked by pirates and separated from his pregnant wife, Sarah, who was captured. But, having come under the suspicion of IPS of illegally transporting passengers, Rick goes rogue and sets off to find Sarah while evading Catherine trying to capture him. Rick and his tech-savvy partner QR follow a trail of clues and tips that lead from one planet to another, from one hostile slave owner and alien race to more pirates and unsavory characters. Along the journey, Catherine learns that being human is more than possessing a flesh and blood body. The transitory body holds an eternal spirit that yearns to be free.



About the Author
Facebook-Goodreads
Glenn Thomas’s life path has been a meandering one, setting new life goals at various points along the way, gaining skills in art, photography, film-making, driving, and ultimately, writing in screenplays and prose. As a self-described “high-functioning daydreamer,” Glenn often finds contentment in self-imposed isolation, in conversation with characters only he sees and hears, in universes of his own creation. Once in a while, he writes them down into scripts and novels to share with the world.

Glenn lives in the Los Angeles area and works as a driver for a major motion picture studio. His first self-published work was a series of short Science Fiction stories called The Spiderboys of Aranae, which appeared in 2015.

In 1986, when Glenn was convinced he was at the start of a long and prosperous career as a visual artist, an idea for a sci-fi story came to him. A guy loses his wife to space aliens, and he searches the galaxy to find her. As a fan of the genre, Glenn sat down with paper and pencil to write the story, and two years later, No Longer Mourn for Me was finished. It then sat on the shelf, unpublished, for nearly 35 years. Glenn thought about that crudely executed early work, got ideas to improve it, and sat down at the computer for a rewrite. The original story was completely gutted, retooled, and reborn with a new title: The Stars Rain Down.

"For fans of Fourth Wing, Serpent and Wings of Night, and From Blood and Ash"

Vesselless (The Merciless Realms Series Book 1)
by Cortney L. Winn
March 23, 2024
Genre: Fantasy romance, new adult
She’s heiress to the throne. The throne her father stole from him.

Nizzara has always been able to perceive spirits better than the average caster. When she enters a deadly tournament to end her betrothal, she's determined to win without succumbing to the addictive spirit magic she channels or taking a life in the duel ring. Finding herself outmatched, Nizzara must face her fear of power and team up with Dagen—an enemy who is half-ghost and all charm—to survive the tournament.

Dagen, the last King of Zarr, was killed by Nizzara’s father ten years ago. Now a half-ghost—able to phase between his human and spirit form—he is stuck in another realm, hunting wretched souls. When his keeper offers him a chance to reclaim his freedom in exchange for Nizzara’s soul, Dagen takes the deal.

There’s only one catch: she must freely give it to him by the tournament’s end or his own soul is forfeit.



Fourth Wing meets The Serpent of Wings & Night in the first instalment of this action packed romantasy as they deal with the bargain hanging over their heads. Family, love, power and deception collide as Nizarra and Dagen make decisions that could change their realm forever.

Most days you'll find me in jeans and a hoodie (even if it's warm outside) with a Diet Coke nearby.

My work has been influenced by Rebecca Yarros, Brigid Kemmerer, Brandon Sanderson, Carissa Broadbent, Victoria Aveyard, Sarah J. Maas, and so many others.

Horror/Mystery
Publisher: Shadow Spark Publishing

Surfside City, New Jersey. 1966. Cub reporter Harman Bass is cutting his teeth in the fast world of local journalism and getting out-scooped by the competition. Facetious, cocky, and always quoting Nietzsche, Harman isn’t making any friends both in and out of the newsroom.

All that changes when the daughter of a prominent family is found dead on the beach, handing Harman the juiciest news story of the year. But she wasn’t any old beauty pageant queen; she was his high school girlfriend. Harman’s dogged reporting into the young woman’s death reveals pushback from the authorities and pulls the newshound into the resort’s darkest corners.

After one of his sources is murdered, the routine story becomes dangerous and personal. Something watches Harman from the shadows, something ancient and hungry, worshiped by powerful men who kill to keep their secrets. Harman’s job and life are soon threatened, and the once brash reporter must battle his boss, rival journalists, and his own sanity before filing what could be his last story.

THE OCEAN HUGS HARD is a mystery with the salty whiff of the ocean, a tinge of nostalgia, and a dollop of mind-shattering eldritch horror.

Cover Reveal: Bride of the Mountain King (Kings of Starfall, #1) by Misty Malkasian

Bride of the Mountain King (Kings of Starfall, #1)
by Misty Malkasian
March 29th 2024
Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Young Adult
She must wed a powerful ally to save her kingdom. But a terrifying ghost king steals her instead.

Princess Liosa keeps half of her face hidden under a curtain of hair. She must wed to save her kingdom from the looming threat of attack by the Rose Court, but if a future husband ever found out the truth of her face, she could lose both her kingdom and her life.

But on the day she’s supposed to choose from a room full of suitors, a terrifying king arises from underground and steals her away to the Hollow Deep—and he may be worse than all the other suitors combined. He may not even be alive.

Liosa, now a queen of a strange kingdom she’d never known existed, must navigate its perils as she struggles with her terrifying new surroundings and marriage. Unsure of herself and petrified beyond what she’d ever imagined, she grapples with the same question she’s asked herself her whole life: why has the Great One chosen to inflict so much suffering on her? Hasn’t she suffered enough?

As she finds herself drawn deeper into her husband’s world, she learns of deadly goings-on in the Hollow Deep, plans that could set into motion a chain of cataclysmic events in Starfall. She must decide if she wants to remain terrified and useless, or if perhaps the Great One brought her to the Hollow Deep for a reason after all.

She only wonders—why did the Mountain King choose her? And can she ever love a creature made of mist?

With a new take on fae fantasy and an undercurrent of faith, Kings of Starfall is a connected series of clean standalone romances with their own happily-ever-after, leading up to a single cataclysmic event that must be stopped before the entire world falls to ruin.

Perfect for fans of Beauty and the Beast and Sylvia Mercedes’ The Moonfire Bride, prepare to be swept into the dark and glittering world of Starfall…

I grew up reading during all my classes instead of paying attention. I read anything I could find, including the backs of shampoo bottles (there's some fun stuff written on those!). At twelve I started writing my own stories, and as an adult, I still haven’t been able to kick the habit.

I live in the Midwest with my husband and two little girls, and by day, I test financial software and write code.

Cover Reveal: The Voyent and the Mark of Malice (The Aeglecian Seas Series) by Sadie Hewitt

We are so excited to share the cover for Sadie Hewitt’s, The Voyent and the Mark of Malice!!!

The Voyent and the Mark of Malice (The Aeglecian Seas
Series)
by Sadie Hewitt
Expected Publication Date: April 29, 2024
Genre: Pirate Romantic Fantasy
Tropes:
☠️ Cursed pirate ships
⏳ Morally gray captains
☠️ Trickster female main characters
⏳ Possessive alphahole who falls first
☠️ Enemies to lovers
⏳ Djinn, Nasnas, and Ghouls
☠️ Forced proximity

He may be clever, but she’s already a step ahead…

Kalia Salam is a Voyant, or a person with the ability to create mind-altering visions and project them into others. But when the punishment for having that ability is death, every decision becomes a strategic calculation to avoid execution. Unfortunately, that includes tethering herself to the continent’s most wealthy brothel owner and only using her magic to pad the madam’s pockets. That is, at least, until she needs it to protect those around her. But when Kalia uses her magic on the wrong client and is mistaken for a powerful djinn, one that the pirates have been meticulously hunting, she becomes ensnared in her most complex game of deception yet. Because, one way or another, she refuses to fall to the hands of a cursed captain.

Captain Rahmi Abada revels in collecting dying souls from the sea, particularly those burdened by guilt. But whispers of a tale have begun to swirl…a tale about a mysterious gemstone with innumerable abilities, including the power to shatter any magical bond. Consumed with the idea of sailing for eternity without his binding curse to Liddros, God of Sea, Rahmi enlists the help of the fiery djinn he forced aboard his ship. The only problem? The djinn harbors her own secrets, ones that threaten to unravel Rahmi’s carefully laid plans.

Drawing inspiration from The Legend of The Flying Dutchman and the enchanting world of Aladdin, The Voyant and The Mark of Malice weaves a captivating story of hidden dangers, action-packed adventures, and the unexpected, yet sizzling romance of two sworn enemies who are determined to outwit one another.

COVER REVEAL: Monstrous by Nicole M. Rubino

 

We are thrilled to share the cover of Monstrous by Nicole M. Rubino. Read on for more details!


Monstrous
by Nicole M. Rubino
January 17, 2024
Genre: NA Urban Fantasy

🖤Monster College

🖤Praise Kink
🖤Fake Out Make out
I’ve never been afraid of the dark. I never needed a nightlight when I was younger or any reassurance that there was no monster in my closet or under my bed. Perhaps that’s because a part of me always knew I was one. Sharp teeth and claws weren’t the type of gifts I’d expected for my eighteenth birthday, along with the desire to eat my ex-boyfriend. Yet those monstrous traits are the exact reason I’m here, at Alystair University. Alystair University was all I heard about growing up. Its prestige and exclusivity could rival any Ivy League. But that’s not the real reason that sets the school apart from others. Everyone at this school is a monster. Like me. I should feel safe here. This school will afford me the opportunity to hone my monstrous abilities and curb my carnivorous urges. Not to mention, I have a fierce girl gang by my side, guiding me every step of the way. But then decapitated bodies start showing up on campus. Someone is killing off students, and in a school full of monsters, everyone is a suspect. Yet all eyes are on Nick Cervallos, a boy whose charm is as deadly as his claws. And who I can’t seem to stay away from. I’m determined to prove Nick’s innocence, but in order to do that, I’ll have to tap into my monstrous side. I just don’t know what I’m more afraid of - coming face to face with a blood-thirsty monster…

Morticia Addams is her role model, and you will often find Nicole belting out the tunes to any Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac song (alas, not well).

Nicole lives in New York with her 100% Aries of a husband and said dragons.
