Dance Only for Me by Megan Derr—Jackie Black is a cowboy and sorcerer and proud of both. He spends his days breaking curses and locating items of interest for other abnormals. His pride and joy are the alchemy-enhanced pistols at his hips. The love of his life is Roman, a businessman and witch. Tired of living several states apart, Jackie decides to surprise Roman by moving closer.

But instead of being a happy surprise, Jackie finds himself the victim of a nasty surprise instead. Alone in a strange city, with nowhere to go and his world in pieces, Jackie is taken in by an old man who says he is a paranormal detective and could use someone of Jackie’s power and abilities to catch a killer.

A Shadow of a Dream cover

A Shadow of a Dream by Isabella Carter—Solving a murder is never an easy matter, even when circumstances are ideal. For Basil, circumstances are far from ideal. Because the murder is far more complicated than at first it seems, and before he can even begin to solve it Basil must contend with a council that refuses to listen to him, a partner he despises, and a thief who is a temptation that Basil cannot seem to resist …

They can be fierce warriors and gentle guides, heralds of joy and tragedy. They are beings of fearsome power, and the highest of servants.

But what else can angels be? What happens when they soar too high or dive too low? Are they flawless in their servitude, or cursed and blessed with free will? Come read these tales of angels in some of their many incarnations…

Brand is a man adrift: he is wolf shifter and fire mage, a traitor to his people for saving a friend on whom he turned his back long ago, a friend who no longer has need of him. He has no place to call home, no one to call family or friend, and no idea where he belongs.

With nothing better to do, he decides to seek out the infamous dragons in the firelands, curious to see if their fires will be hot enough to burn a fire witch, to see if perhaps a place that welcomes fire might have a place for him…

Nine gods ruled the world, until the ultimate betrayal resulted in their destruction. Now, the world is dying and only by restoring the Lost Gods can it be saved.

Nine hundred years ago, the Dragons of the Three Storms, gods of chaos, tried to destroy their land of Kundou. Only by rising up and slaying the Dragons and stealing their power was Kundou saved. Now, that power resides in the royal family and grants them the right to rule.

But that power comes at a terrible price, and Prince Nankyokukai is determined that he will be the last to pay it—even if it means surrendering his chance with the man he has waited for his entire life.

Alongside his new, intriguing companion, Nikkai breaks out of prison and sets off to speak with his brother.

  • Amber Wheat: Creatures, huh? I really am partial to demons because you never know what you’re going to get with a demon. Sometimes they are truly evil representations of all things bad and sometimes they are just misunderstood citizens of a place that outsiders deem “hell”. Demons come in all different shapes and sizes. In some stories they have grotesque appearances and can be spotted by the hero immediately, sometimes they wear gorgeous skins and take the hero in with a charming appearance, and sometimes they are the normal, everyday people walking down the street. I especially like it when the demon is the hero and the “hero” is actually a manipulative, backstabbing, selfish douche. And the horns, I especially like the horns! I love smartass demons, one in particular comes to mind… Becket! I love Becket, and my heart broke when… well never mind, go read the story, it broke my heart. Becket is a fantastic demon, just enough demonness and just enough smartass, and just enough hopeless romantic! Team Becket for the win!
  • Rylie: I’m going to have to say dragons as my favorite. I haven’t read a book or story yet, either eastern or western, where I disliked the dragons. Being able to fly must be amazing. I do love that Mercedes Lackey had a subspecies called bookwyrms and their hoard was rare books.
  • Ananas: I’d love to run into a shapeshifter. not necessarily a were anything, but I’ve always loved the idea, and how (in general) they are associated with tricksters. at least in my mythologies.

Dance with the Devil now available in the Book Market!
