  Living on the cubic planet Arrei, Braviael’s life is staggeringly altered when she is rescued by her enemy. Her rescuer, Dithyn Noorlander, is a clom—a race of people quite different from humans. Cloms and humans have been enemies for centuries, and Braviael is not prepared for what awaits her in the clom capital of Delgany. 
  Rife with prejudice and political strife, the city offers no shortage of difficulties for Braviael as she attempts to navigate a new life among the clom people. When Braviael learns that Dithyn Noorlander teaches martial arts, she begins training under his tutelage. 
  But as Braviael grows in her ability to fight, the opposition against humans increases. Aided by a monstrous white tiger, an extremist group of cloms seeks an old artifact that could enable them to attack the humans of Arrei on a massive scale. 
  Determined to overcome the deep-veined prejudice between their peoples, Braviael and her clom companions must rise to become the protectors Arrei needs, racing across the cubic world to oppose those bent on destroying humankind.

  The entire Svodrani System is about to go up in flames—and the crew of the Ungovernable is sitting right in the centre of the explosion. 
  After taking down the two most powerful mafia bosses in the system, ex-smuggler pilot Jez and the crew race back to the capital to head off an impending civil war in the ensuing power vacuum. But to stop a bloodbath, they need to buy themselves time to prepare. So while Masha, Ysbel, and Tanya provide a distraction, Jez and Lev infiltrate a government paralyzed by the news, while Tae goes out into the volatile Prasvishoni streets to neutralize the street gangs who are more than willing to prove they’re the mafia’s natural successors. 
  But preventing a civil war is a lot more complicated than it sounds. There are government factions who would happily let the system burn if it means they end up on top. Unrest is already building in the streets. And no one knows who’s side Masha is actually on … 
  Security Incident is the seventh book in R.M. Olson’s science fiction space opera series The Ungovernable. With a crazy, close-knit crew, plenty of humour, and loads of action, Firefly meets Ocean’s Eleven in this fast-paced, kick-ass, wickedly fun series.

  Walking between the worlds has always been dangerous - but this time Verity's facing the loss of all she holds dear. 
  Verity Fassbinder thought no boss could be worse than her perfectionist ex-boyfriend - until she agreed to work for a fallen angel. The angel is a jealous - and violent - employer, so she's quit working for the Weyrd Council and sent her family away. 
  The angel has tasked Verity with finding two lost treasures. That would be hard even without a vengeful Dusana Nadasy on her heels. And Inspector McIntyre won't stop calling: the bodies of Normal women who disappeared decades ago are turning up, apparently subjected to Weyrd magics. Angelic demands or not, this isn't something Verity can walk away from. And the angel is getting impatient for results…

  Coexisting with a demon is going to take more than a meditation playlist and good intentions. 
  These days, I’m training hard core. My only accessories are bladed weapons and bruised ribs. It’s a price I’m willing to pay if it means staying in control. 
  Unfortunately, Frederick Masterson has been just as busy building his hybrid army. Every day I’m here training, more shifters go missing. Worse, I find out my BFF has gone off grid. And now I’m having visions warning me about what’s coming. It’s long past time to take the fight to him. 
  Even with more than sewing skills in my arsenal, I’m not sure it will be enough. To stop the supernatural war that’s brewing, I’ll have to embrace my inner demon. I just hope I don’t lose my soul in the process. 
  Gathering the Dead is the fourth book in the complete Kali James series, featuring a reluctant necromancer who finds herself in a world of werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. If you like your urban fantasy with quirky characters, a side of supernatural mystery, and a dose of slow-burn romance, this is the book for you.
