Romantasy

Plucked out of the Collector’s Pens, auctioned off to a vampire contingent, and sent across the ocean to the Alpha Territories was not exactly how I planned to spend my week. 🧛

Actually, scratch that. I had planned the first bit. But I was supposed to be sold to the werewolves so I could save my friend from a fate worse than death. Instead, the bloodsuckers have me and so far? It’s not going great. I’ve been shoved into a corset and made to look like an extra on the cast of Bridgerton, all to take part in the Harvest Games—think The Bachelor set in the 1800s, but the men are all vampires, and then add a decidedly terrifying Squid Games element to the mix. 🌹

No problem.

My goal—besides keeping the number of holes in my body to the current norm—is more than surviving. It is escaping the inescapable, finding my way to the werewolf territory, and getting Jordan back.

Cue the political strife. ⚔️

Armed with nothing more than a super sharp hairpin, my questionable charm, and an irrational amount of optimism, plans to get both me and my bestie out alive are in full swing.

Until the General of the Vampire Army and his molten eyes light me on fire and leave me wondering if escape is what I want after all.

Maybe one extra set of holes wouldn’t be the worst thing ever… 🔥

Here’s the deal: Shannon Mayer is a NYT and USA Today bestselling author with over 50 titles to her name—she’s a powerhouse in paranormal romance and urban fantasy. This series mashup of Bridgerton aesthetics, Squid Games stakes, and vampire romance is exactly the kind of genre-blending creativity her fans have come to expect. If you devour Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, or Carissa Broadbent, Mayer’s snarky heroines and high-stakes supernatural worlds will be your next obsession. That voice—irreverent, self-aware, and impossible not to root for—hooks you from the first line.

Paranormal Werewolves & Shifters Romance

🐺 Fighting fate isn’t for the weak.

Cait I am many things, but a supernatural being is not one of them. At least not until a crescent mark appears on my wrist and everything changes. I’ve been marked by a wolf goddess, yet no one knows what that means, myself included.

On top of that, I find out my best friend is a wolf shifter and her pack alpha is my supposed mate. Just like that my future is decided—unless I find a way out. 🌙

Roman When fate sends a human mate my way, I’m certain it has to be a mistake. An alpha is supposed to have an equal at his side. Cait might be strong in her own ways, but what she is makes her an easy target in my world.

Regardless, Cait is mine to protect and I have every intention of showing her this is where she belongs—in my pack, by my side. 💕

This is a dual POV wolf shifter series. It features a strong willed, not-so-human leading lady and a fierce yet loyal alpha who is determined to win her heart—no matter how many times she might reject him. If you love slow burn Paranormal Romance books, then be ready to devour this new series! It is also the second series in the Mystics and Mayhem world that can be read in any order.

Why you’ll love this: Heather Renee has carved out a loyal fanbase in the paranormal romance world with her Mystics and Mayhem universe—interconnected series that can be read as standalones but reward dedicated readers with an expanding world. The fated mates trope gets a fresh spin here with a heroine who didn’t even know the supernatural existed, let alone that she’d be claimed by an alpha. Fans of K.F. Breene, Jaymin Eve, or Linsey Hall will find exactly what they’re looking for: slow burn tension, a possessive-but-respectful hero, and a heroine who makes him earn every bit of her trust.

Romantic Fantasy

📚 It was supposed to be a harmless essay. What would you change about yourself?

I thought I was being clever when I wrote about my V-card.

Until my sexy English professor read it and decided to give me some very personal “extra credit.”

Now he’s looking at me in ways no professor should—and bringing his friends along for the ride. Suddenly I’m getting a very naughty lesson in lust, and the syllabus is all hands-on. 🔥

Taboo? Definitely. Embarrassing? Only if you count moaning in the library. Hot? Off the charts.

With three professors determined to teach me their kind of lesson, it looks like I’m finally earning my A+… the hard way.

What caught my attention: Mika Lane is known for steamy contemporary romance that doesn’t shy away from pushing boundaries—she’s built a catalog of “why choose” and taboo romances for readers who like their heat levels cranked to maximum.

Shen, and you’re looking for something with multiple love interests, Lane delivers exactly what’s promised. Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for readers who want their romance extra hot.

History of Israel & Palestine

🌍 In 1896, a Jewish state was a pipe dream. Today the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen?

Ilan Pappé unveils how over a century of aggressive lobbying changed the map of the Middle East. Pro-Israel lobbies convinced British and American policymakers to condone Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law, grant Israel unprecedented military aid and deny Palestinians rights. Anyone who questioned unconditional support for Israel, even in the mildest terms, became the target of relentless smear campaigns. Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic shows us how an unassailable consensus was built—and how it might be dismantled.

A historian’s perspective on political influence: Ilan Pappé, an Israeli historian known for his controversial critical stance, examines how pro-Israel lobbying shaped British and American policy over more than a century. He argues that these lobbying efforts built an “unassailable consensus” that condoned breaches of international law, secured unprecedented military aid, and targeted critics with smear campaigns. Pappé’s thesis is provocative and will challenge readers regardless of their political views on Israel-Palestine. This is serious historical analysis from an academic perspective, not polemic—though readers should approach it knowing Pappé’s viewpoint is disputed by many scholars. At $0.99 for a book that typically costs $14.99, it’s an opportunity to engage with a significant voice in this ongoing historical debate.
