"Belladonna was born wrong. At least that's what her parents, religious community, and even her beloved sister believe. Walking away from the church hasn't helped her come to terms with her purpose in life, and when her sister is diagnosed with cancer, Belladonna has nowhere to turn...until a demon offers her a deal. After agreeing, nothing is like she expects. There's no fiery hell to speak of. Her soul seems to still be her own. All she's required to do is serve. When she's auctioned off to Rusalka, a powerful and ruthless succubus, her confusion only grows. Rusalka surprises her at every turn, even refusing to allow Belladonna to bear a child that would benefit the entirety of their territory. Rusalka has sacrificed everything for their people. There are no lengths they won't go to as leader...but they see something of themself in Belladonna, a familiarity that tempts beyond anything they could have dreamed. They want to keep her. But if Belladonna can't release her shame and step into a future where she's living for herself instead of in service to others... Things may be over even before they begin"--Provided by publisher

SIGNED From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and set in the world of A Darker Shade of Magic, V. E. Schwab opens a new door into perilous adventure and tangled schemes with The Fragile Threads of Power.

Welcome to L.A.--the city of dreams, drama, and just enough dumpster fires to keep you warm at night. Meet Lucious Daren, LAPD's self-proclaimed top cop, whose "superpowers" only show up when he's drunk or high. After an embarrassing mishap involving Lucious accidentally shooting his rookie partner, he gets demoted to teaching DARE to high school punks--a fate worse than paperwork. But this isn't just a story about a rogue cop. Or a morality play on the dangers of codependency. DARE is a balls-to-the-wall comedy-action-romp, blending a cocktail of un-PC humor, good old-fashioned T&A, razor-sharp political commentary, and heart to keep you hooked. As Lucious juggles his nightmare teaching gig with a burning desire to take down his nemesis--the kingpin Marlo--he discovers that his true battle isn't just against crime but his own chaotic tendencies. Picture Die Hard meets Archer, with a dash of Starsky and Hutch, all wrapped up in a thick cloud of blunt smoke. This period satire flips the buddy-cop trope on its head and takes aim at everything from Nancy Reagan's war on drugs to modern-day cancel culture all while keeping the belly laughs (and the bullets) flying.

In the quaint seaside town of Deal in Kent, the population is unaware that they are about to become prey to a creature they never knew existed.

Still licking its wounds, the Alliance scrambles to level the playing field against the Zelnads. But only a united galaxy can triumph. Can Geddy, Eli, and his friends finally reassemble the fractured Alliance before they run out of pages?At every turn, they've been outgunned, outmanned, and outmaneuvered. Apart from that, things have gone pretty well for Geddy Starheart and the crew of the Fizmo. They've gotten this far without dying and have come together as a team. They have new titles, spiffy uniforms, and cool ships. There's just one tiny wrinkle: War is coming, the entire universe hangs in the balance, and defeat is certain. A dangerous mission to Geddy's favorite planet, Kigantu, provides key intel. When things go awry, his decision-making skills, physical fitness, and judgment are put to the ultimate test. You can probably imagine how that goes. Meanwhile, Doc Tardigan and Lestiko inch closer to understanding the Zelnads' awesome power. An ancient sect reveals its origins and a prophecy that foretells the Alliance's impending doom or glorious victory, depending whom you ask. When a major crisis hits close to home, the final piece of the puzzle clicks into place. But key holdouts leave the Alliance at less than full strength. Can they still prevent the Zelnads' unthinkable endgame, or will their last stand be the final fall?Dark Dodgers: Book 6 of Reassembly is the thrilling, emotional, and satisfying conclusion to the epic series that began when a lonely pilot lost his ship but found his purpose.

The new galactic Alliance is coming together, and the drums of war beat loudly. But until Geddy and the crew find the Zelnad base, there's nobody to fight. Given the sorry state of the fleet, that's probably a good thing. Renewed hope comes in the form of an eccentric loner who may hold the key to separating Zelnads from their hosts. The only teeny, tiny problem is that he can't seem to do it without killing both of them. When a simple favor for his old girlfriend takes an unexpected turn, Geddy learns a hard lesson about what they're up against. Before long, he finds himself in a sticky situation with his ex, and not the fun kind. A daring escape puts Geddy and the crew in even greater danger. Will their powerful new allies help win the day or is the battle for civilization already lost? Find out in Fleet Feat, a thrilling, funny, and emotional continuation of the Reassembly series.

Geddy Starheart's childhood hero just made him a captain in the New Alliance. Now he just needs to find his kidnapped girlfriend and his missing crew. No one said saving the universe would be easy. Most of the galaxy considers the Zelnads to be saviors. Until Geddy can prove otherwise, their evil plan to end civilization will continue to unfold. A distress call takes him to a distant planet facing an existential crisis. When the investigation points to a nefarious plot, Geddy sees an opportunity to deal a blow to the Zelnads. But danger lurks in every dark corner, and he's not exactly crazy about dark corners. When his new boss sends him on his first official mission, Geddy enlists the help of an old frenemy. A risky play could either expose the Zelnads for what they are or serve as a stark reminder that he can't trust anyone. The trail of clues eventually leads Geddy to the galaxy's most popular zoo. What starts as a day of R&R becomes an unplanned journey into the depths of the Zelnad conspiracy. The startling revelations that follow lead to an absolutely bonkers escape that he'll someday revisit in therapy.

If you like solid sci-fi with clever twists and a generous dose of adult humor, you will have a blast reading Reassembly.

At the galaxy's biggest trade show, a secret group of powerful people assemble to assess the Zelnad threat. But the mysterious aliens are always two steps ahead. Can a who's who of the galaxy give Geddy and the crew a badly needed win?Thanks to his crew, Geddy escaped the Zelnads' clutches and made a healthy deposit in the Fiz's account. Following a little R&R on Zorr, they're back at it and brimming with false confidence. When a fateful decision leaves a potential ally vulnerable, the Fiz takes a big risk to score some points. But it soon becomes clear the Zelnads are playing 3D chess while Geddy's still trying to get the box open. At the galaxy's biggest trade show, surprising alliances offer hope for actionable intel. But the Zelnads just unleashed their new secret weapon - branding. When a shocking announcement tilts the balance even more in their favor, Geddy and Eli must travel to one of the galaxy's most dangerous worlds to find the only man who can turn the tide. Ship Show: Book 3 of Reassembly continues the fun, rollicking space adventure that all began in Rocket Repo when a kindly alien spore took up residence in the head of an aimless, friendless pilot. If you like high-stakes sci-fi with big themes and a healthy dose of witty humor, you'll love Reassembly.
