Another Beast's Skin

By: Jessika Grewe Glover

You’re not broken. You needed to shed a skin. We all do sometimes… Grieving the death of her father, Neysa Obecan leaves her high-powered Los Angeles finance job for the tranquility of an English coastal town. When she meets her brooding new landlord, Cade, and his snarky cousins, they reveal that Neysa is far more than the human she believed herself to be. The four crystals that halt the deterioration of the Veil between the human and fae realms, have gone missing. Neysa’s new friends are fae emissaries tasked with securing the stones, and she may be their missing piece — making her a target for all those who want to see the Veil destroyed. As she struggles to accept her true identity — and the truth of her father’s life’s work — Neysa is dragged into a quest to save more than one world. In their pursuit of the crystals, Neysa finds herself separated from everything she knows; fighting for her life, the realms, and a love she thought she would never have. A love so powerful it could very well be the key to survival for humans and fae alike.

A Braiding of Darkness

By: Jessika Grewe Glover

“Family is in the small moments. The ties that bind us. Threads that connect. Family is in the intention to protect.” In the wake of the Elders’ betrayal, Neysa searches for her missing mate, Cadeyrn, who has been forced to shift into his inner beast and flee the Queen’s Isle. Her quest leads her down a path of betrayal and self-doubt, taking her to Heilig, the ancestral lands of her mother’s kin. Her uncle, King Konstantín, calls upon Neysa ti vanquish an army of phantoms, restless spirits of the dead plaguing Heilig. Neysa must choose to sacrifice herself to protect her loved ones from the phantoms, but the relativity of time itself stretches when an ancient timepiece, forged of both realms, becomes a weapon to separate the fae realm’s major players. The clock moves the tapestry of fate from Heilig and Aoifsing, to the timeless streets of London. Left with only the tenuous aid of a former enemy, and the realization that she may have lost Cadeyrn forever, Neysa must battle the very foundations of time before everyone they know is purged.

Of Chaos and Haste

By: Jessika Grewe Glover

And until this realm meets the next I will claw for you With all that is mine I will fight for you With the lifeforce of a thousand I will die for you And in the dark, you shall own my soul When gods play to win, no one is unscathed. Directly following the events of A Braiding of Darkness, Neysa bargains with a goddess to remove the bond between herself and Silas in exchange for shouldering a heavy burden. Soon after, she is attacked by the restless undead, bringing emissaries from each province together to fight insurrection amongst the gods. With her kingdom in peril, and the entire realm under siege, Queen Saski returns home, desperate to forget the lover for whom she crossed oceans. She joins forces with Cadeyrn to stop an ancient evil from destroying all they hold dear. Meanwhile, in Aoifsing, fires are burning, and it seems someone is hunting the fae realm’s most valuable assets. Cities burn, provinces are torn apart, and relationships wear thin. Not everyone will make it out alive, but Neysa will lay herself down to save the realm and those she loves.

Wild Spirit: Almost Like Magic, book 3

By: Jill Corddry

The dust has barely settled around Sage Creek after the attempted Wild Hunt at Yule, and the locals have once again brushed it off as nothing more than a “winter storm for the books.” I know better, though.

Trouble With the Truth

By: J.L. Minyard

Roommates, hookups, friends, idiots. What could possibly go wrong? Emory Storey is a strong, independent college student, if a bit directionless and surly. The last thing she needs is a relationship—platonic, romantic, or otherwise. Too bad she’s stuck in a roommate agreement with Sebastian Rees, a devastatingly attractive fifth year senior with more abs than ambition. Their single hookup over a year ago was a mistake not so easily forgotten. They’ve both—silently and separately—agreed to keep their distance. Not an easy task when Emory can't stop thinking about the taste of his mouth. Or what his body feels like pressed to hers. When a rogue winter storm traps them together with no power or heat for days, they're forced to confront their one time together…and come out on the other side in a roommates-with-benefits arrangement, a complication Emory finds impossible to resist. What was supposed to be no strings sex quickly morphs into late night gaming, inside jokes, and wing eating contests…and something that feels suspiciously like real friendship and real feelings. But someone else is jealous. Someone else wants Emory. Someone who may not take no for an answer…forcing Emory to take a stand if she wants to claim her happy ending. Trouble With the Truth is chronologically the third book in the Penn Warren University series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. It is intended for mature readers
