Staff pick from Vern for UNCANNY VALLEY GIRLS by Zefyr Lisowski

"Essential read for q***r & trans North Carolinian horror-lovers (niche, but I know there are a lot of us here!). These essays are part-theory, part-memoir about Lisowski’s childhood being raised in the South, her eventual move to NYC, and wonderful commentary on horror movies (including Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Ring, and more). You’re sure to be hooked from beginning to end."

Staff pick from Christy for DOLLY ALL THE TIME by Annabel Monaghan

"The perfect book for someone looking for a romance with an older FMC who is dealing with real life and real life is being SO VERY REAL. Annabel mixes her real life experience (minus the newly single billionaire looking to improve his image) with her usual witty banter, butterfly inducing romance, and the best friends her main character could ask for. Annabel continues to be my favorite author to read to kick off my summer reading."

Staff pick from Amber for THE ENDING WRITES ITSELF by Evelyn Clarke

"A group of authors are alone on an island, competing to ghost-write the ending of a famous series. Tensions are already high. And then the first death occurs. Rife with criticisms of the publishing industry in a tongue-in-cheek way, this was such a fun and interesting thriller that keeps you guessing throughout, with every thread tied up at the end. Written by fantasy author V.E. Schwab and screenwriter Cat Clarke!"

ABOUT THE BOOK

Set in a corrupt surveillance state ruled by the masked elite, this true enemies-to-lovers dystopian romance that’s Conform meets V for Vendetta follows a mercenary who botches the assassination of the president’s son and ends up forced to marry him.

The first thing you’ll learn in New Found Haven is that mercy doesn’t exist. The second thing is that, from the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slums of the Boundary, the Veyra are always watching.

The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it: Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.

The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.

Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he’s the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he’s entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he’s forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government’s brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride as lethal as she is unwilling.

Shadera Kael is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her tied to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.

Their union is no love story—it’s a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating each other or burning the city to the ground together.

In a world where passion has consequences and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.
