  "This book rewired my brain; it's a bonafide knockout." —Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth "You can try bracing yourself for the ride this story takes you on, but it's best to just surrender. Your wig is going to fall off no matter what you do." —Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our LivesA gut-busting and heartbreaking descent into one woman's fraying connection to reality, from a soon-to-be superstar.Coral is the first person to discover her brother Jay’s dead body in the wake of his suicide. There’s no note, only a drably furnished bachelor pad in Long Beach, California, and a cell phone with a handful of numbers in it. Coral pockets the phone. And then she starts responding to texts as her dead brother.Over the course of one week, Coral, the successful yet lonely author of a hit dystopian novel, Wildfire, becomes increasingly untethered from reality. Blindsided by grief and operating with reckless determination, she doubles —and triples—down on posing as her brother, risking not only her own sanity but her relationship with her precocious niece, Khadijah. As Coral’s swirl of lies slowly closes in on her, the quirky and mysterious alien world of Wildfire becomes enmeshed in her own reality, in the process pushing long-buried memories, traumas, and secrets dangerously into the present.A form-shifting and soul-crunching chronicle of grief and crisis, Venita Blackburn’s debut novel, Dead in Long Beach, California, is a fleet-footed marvel of self-discovery and storytelling that explores the depths of humankind’s capacity for harm and healing. With the daring, often hilarious imagination that made her an acclaimed short-fiction innovator, Blackburn crafts a layered, page-turning reckoning with what it means to be alive, dead, and somewhere in between.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  A vampire who's lost everything he cared about searches for solace in all the wrong places. 
  Zacharias, a former flight trainer in Gabriel's Legion, was accused and convicted of an abominable crime, then banished to Earth. Now a vampire in the Santa Cruz nest, he struggles to find the confidence he lost, hiding his pain in all the worst ways. But a wolf is in town. A wolf unlike any Zach has met before. His smiles are unsettling, his scent soothing, his voice an achingly sweet song that touches Zach's spirit. The alpha male speaks with few words, but always with truth. Ryder makes Zach want to believe again, but hope is a soul strangler and can't be trusted. 
  A wolf betrayed by his alpha and his own cowardice can sometimes find redemption.  
  Ryder believes he failed his original pack. He followed the orders of a sadistic alpha, going against his nature and turning his back on weaker pack members even though they desperately needed his help. He could have stepped up, challenged the prime alpha and taken charge. Saved lives. But the fates have given him another chance. Ryder is now the second-in-command under an alpha he greatly respects. He'll work to heal the harm he's responsible for and will remain loyal to his Prime until the end of his days. Only someone may need him even more.

  "You can't see it, can you? How beautiful you are." 
  Adriel has spent his entire life making himself smaller; shrinking to fit other people's expectations, apologizing for the space he takes up, and burying the parts of himself that never seemed to be enough. When he lands a position as editorial assistant at Grayson House, his only plan is to stay invisible. 
  Landen Waters makes that impossible. 
  Landen is everything Adriel isn't; composed, commanding, effortlessly sharp. As Editor-in-Chief of Grayson House, he runs a tight ship. But behind the tailored suits and unreadable expression is a man running on empty, going through the motions, searching for something elusive. 
  He finds it in the nervous junior editor who can't stop apologizing, can't stop blushing, and sees straight through manuscripts the way no one else on his floor can. 
  Their attraction is immediate. Undeniable. Dangerous. 
  Because Landen doesn't just want Adriel in his bed; he wants him on his knees. And Adriel, who has never trusted anyone with that much of himself, discovers that the thing he's most terrified of, being completely seen, is the only thing that has ever made him feel whole. 
  But when a ghost from Adriel's past threatens to unravel everything, the fragile trust between them is shattered. And both men are left facing the same devastating question: 
  Is love enough when you've spent your whole life believing you don't deserve it? 
  A dark, slow-burn, BDSM-charged MM romance — The Acolyte is the second book in The Crimson Knot series.

  Noah spends his nights drifting between North London pubs and music venues, and his days sleeping off hangovers in the stock room of the floundering record shop where he works. He tries not to think about what will happen when his NHS-allocated therapy hours run out and he's left alone with his mind again.
  
  After years away, his favourite band Smiling Politely announce a last-minute set in a nearby venue and everything starts to shift. When the crowd turns violent, Noah runs into the street and meets Dylan, the charming local barman he's never had the courage to approach.
  
  Pulled into a toxic and co-dependent relationship with Dylan and his brooding, enigmatic friend Fraser, Noah bounces distractedly between sweaty gigs and clubs, swapping beds and friends along the way. The upcoming Smiling Politely album is a beacon of hope for Noah who craves the connection he finds in their music yet lacks elsewhere, but he has to ask himself what he's willing to lose – friendships, dignity, even his sense of self – to just feel like he belongs.

  The algorithm
  of my own life, faded
  and spidery,
  is written,
  not keyed in.
  From bombsites used as childhood playgrounds to lockdown FaceTime calls, Kate Foley looks back on almost nine decades of life – a life characterised by curiosity, resistance and a strong connection with the natural world.
  Appreciation and concern for the planet runs through this frank and moving collection, which muses on the notions of faith and belief, ultimately rejecting both Whitehall politics and traditional religion as inadequate to deal with environmental crisis.
  Simultaneously nostalgic and highly concerned with the future, Kate Foley's candid reminiscence and simple use of language draw us softly into consideration of life's big questions: What's it all for? How will we be remembered?
  Will it build again, our earth?
