Romance
Pawfect Partners | Meredith Rankin | rom-com (N) (I) (F)
When ultra-competitive, high-achieving Ava Barratt and Greyson Bertram meet, it’s not love at first sight. Sure, they’re both on the cross country team, excel in multiple honors classes, and love the rescued dogs at the local animal shelter where they both volunteer. But Greyson thinks Ava’s charm is fake; Ava thinks Greyson’s jokes are exasperating. Then, the shelter falls into dire financial straits. Now, they must work together to raise the funds to save the shelter before the crotchety landlord, Ava’s grandfather, forecloses on the property.

Black Market Heroine | Russell Nohelty | Fantasy | (CB) (C) ($)
Ollie wasn’t looking for trouble, but after she saved the Antichrist from being slaughtered, it came for her. Ollie lived by one rule. Never get involved with anyone for any reason; humans, demons, fae folk, it didn’t matter. They were all trouble. Keeping her distance was how she survived in the criminal underworld for so long. Keep your head down and don’t piss anyone off. That was her motto, especially since her clients all had access to powerful dark magic. She thought she had a flawless system for keeping her nose clean, so how did she wind up in a stolen car, with a  demon spawn in her back seat, driving away from her ex-lover and a gang of demons ready to skin her alive? And why did she agree to help save the demon girl’s life so she didn’t get sacrificed to open the gates of hell? Ollie had one rule. One stupid rule. And tonight it goes right down the toilet. Now, the only way for Ollie to get her life back is to save the girl, prevent the apocalypse, and track down the jerk who betrayed her. They will pay. Oh yes, they will all pay.
