Sinopsis

When Central Pacific Airlines flight 855 encounters a mysterious triangular object over the Pacific, First Officer Kuparr Winston's life changes forever. After barely surviving a crash landing, Kup finds himself trapped between two worlds: Earth, his home planet now under threat, and an alien society determined to colonize it.
 
Three islands—Galveston, Iceland, and Hawaii's Big Island—suddenly find themselves cut off from the world, their harbors filled with aluminum, their runways obliterated. As mysterious beings in form-fitting skinsuits emerge from giant metal disks that crash onto each island, Kup must navigate both human politics and alien invasion plans. Accused of terrorism by the very government he's trying to save, Kup races against time to disable the electromagnetic fields isolating the three islands before the alien "penal colonies" become permanent.
 
With a diverse cast including a Hawaiian doctor fighting to save her island, an Icelandic tour guide with unexpected connections to the aliens, and a Texas lawyer trying to protect his family, "No Room to Live" explores what happens when colonizers become the colonized. The novel blends high-stakes action with profound questions about society, identity, and what it truly means to be "alien."
 
As the boundaries between human and extraterrestrial blur through a process called "Reckoning," Kup discovers the terrifying truth: this is just the beginning of an invasion that could forever change humanity's place in the universe.
 
If you enjoyed "The Three-Body Problem," "Sleeping Giants," and "The 5th Wave," you'll love "No Room to Live."

Fairies in the Foyer

Danielle Garrett

Fairy godmothers who mean business! 
 
 
 
The Beechwood Inn for paranormal beings is opening its doors once again, and the first event following the hiatus is a fairy godmother conference. 
 
 
 
When the godmothers arrive, I expect them to bust out their knitting projects and sip tea, while they swap recipes and sweet stories of their cherubic charges. So, when the sitting room turns into a defensive magic combat zone and a boot camp style obstacle course is erected in the manor's backyard, I'm more than a little thrown off. 
 
 
 
Then the curse gets unleashed. 
 
 
 
It's all hands—and paws—on deck, if we have a chance of saving the inn from the ravages of the strange and deadly magic. 
 
 
 
Luckily for me, I just mastered how to levitate a feather. So, I should totally be able to save the day.
