Others: Overwhelmingly positiveA recurrent, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that’s replaced by obscene insults. Amanda—a successful architect in a happy marriage—finds her life going off kilter by degrees. She starts smoking again, and one night for no reason, without even the knowledge that she’s doing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth on the shore of a blood-red sea. The new voice in Amanda’s head, the one that tells her to steal things and talk to strange men in bars, is strange and frightening, and Amanda struggles to wrest back control of her life. A book on demon possession suggests that the figure on the shore could be the demon Naamah, known to scholars of the Kabbalah as the second wife of Adam, who stole into his dreams and tricked him into fathering her child. Whatever the case, as the violence of her erratic behavior increases, Amanda knows that she must act to put her life right, or see it destroyed.

Others: PositiveNo segundo volume da série que conquistou o TikTok, a princesa Aurora se vê presa entre dois poderosos alfas, enquanto uma força sombria desperta. Aurora pode ter sobrevivido ao Rei Lobo, mas a mordida dele deixou uma marca em sua pele. Segundo a Lei dos Lobos, isso faz dela propriedade dele. Agora, ele a quer de volta. Para derrotá-lo e tomar seu trono, Aurora e Callum precisam formar uma aliança perigosa com um dos Lobos mais temidos do Reino: Blake. Ele pode ser um inimigo, mas, para salvá-la, entrelaçou sua vida à de Aurora ― o que significa que tudo que o alfa sofrer, a princesa sofrerá também. Enquanto tenta romper essa conexão, Aurora suspeita de que Blake esteja escondendo segredos sobre um poder sombrio que desperta no Norte e sobre a natureza inquietante do vínculo entre eles. Parece haver em curso uma trama muito maior do que a mera disputa pelo Trono dos Lobos ― uma trama que ameaça tanto o Reino dos Lobos quanto o Reino dos Homens. Com inimigos se aproximando, relacionamentos sendo postos à prova e segredos revelados, Aurora pode ser a única capaz de impedir a ascensão de um mal ancestral. Se ela conseguir descobrir em quem confiar. Se ela conseguir decidir de que lado está sua lealdade ― e seu coração. Se ela conseguir sobreviver.

Others: NegativeIn this cozy, witchy romcom, a young woman works to turn a run-down small-town video store into the bookshop of her dreams, only to discover a powerful magic that’s been lying dormant—and a forbidden love she can’t resist. “There’s a welcoming, Gilmore Girls–esque feel to Arcadia Falls, enhanced with just enough fantastical elements. . . . [Books & Bewitchment] is a sweet treat for a cold winter night.”—Publishers Weekly Dutiful and hard-working, Rhea Wolfe lives a simple, if mundane, life with her pet parrot in small-town Alabama. Sure, she may not love her desk job working for an insurance agency. And her on-again-off-again relationship with the local mechanic may not have the fiery passion she’s read about in her favorite books. Still, things are stable, which is more than she can say about the two hopelessly immature younger sisters who rely on her. But when Rhea’s estranged grandmother dies, leaving her everything—including a magical heritage Rhea never knew she carried—she finds herself in Arcadia Falls, the quaint mountain town her mother made her swear to avoid at all costs. While the defunct video store she’s also inherited needs a serious upgrade, Rhea’s lucky that resident handyman Hunter Blakely is more than happy to help—and more than easy on the eyes. If only he wasn’t the grandson of her grandmother’s sworn enemy in witchcraft. Yet as Rhea makes plans for the bookstore of her dreams, she learns that her grandmother made a terrible choice, one that could ruin her own chance at happiness. As she gets ever closer to solving the mystery of what exactly is happening, each clue points to Arcadia Falls’s magic hanging in the balance. To keep her new home safe, Rhea must step into her enchanted birthright and harness her newfound powers . . . before it’s too late.

Others: Mostly positiveAt first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just an ordinary father and son, no different from any other. They take walks in the park together, visit county fairs, museums, and zoos, and eat overlooking the lake. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. Some might say he spoils his son by allowing him to set his own bedtimes and eat candy whenever he wants. Some might say that such leniency is starting to take its toll on the father, given how his health has declined.What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before in his life.

Others: MixedOnce upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children. This collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales, hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories, from countries all around the world from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones, crafty women and bad girls, enchantresses and midwives, rascal aunts and odd sisters.
