A young woman raised in a library full of sentient books must decide if the wizard who’s come to take her away to face judgement for a death she didn’t mean to commit is as evil as the stories she’s been told, because he seems distressingly kind. And likable.
Even if he has a demon servant.
If you enjoyed Howl’s Moving Castle, check this one out because it gave me similar vibes!
When a woman inherits her great-uncle’s fortune, she didn’t expect his extended family to attempt to marry her off to a revolting cousin. When she draws an ancient, enchanted sword in an attempt to defend herself, she’s as surprised as anyone when a handsome man emerges from thin air to act as her champion. A delight!
A forger, an assassin, a fallen paladin, and a scholar go on a not entirely voluntary quest to save their city from destruction by clockwork warriors. You might as well grab the second book, The Wonder Engine, while you’re at it because you’re going to want to keep reading!
A soft, slow romance between a supersolider who thinks he’s dying and a woman whose incredible brain is worth millions of credits—if it doesn’t kill her. Tons of gentle longing, found family feels, and hope in a harsh, post-apocalyptic world. I loved it!
Full disclosure: The duo behind Kit Rocha and I are friends. :)
A little bit Red Riding Hood, a little bit Beauty and the Beast, and yet also something completely new, I devoured this one! Dark and twisty, it kept me glued to the page until the hard-won HEA.
