Love at First Fright, Nadia El-Fassi
From the author of the spellbinding Best Hex Ever, comes a brand-new cosy paranormal romance. Sparks fly when a successful horror writer, whose novel is being adapted into a movie, clashes with the lead actor on set in a haunted mansion. With secrets being spilled, sparks flying, and spirits stirring up trouble, can they face their demons and write themselves a happily-ever-after before it's a wrap?
Nadia El-Fassiis a half-Moroccan, half-Australian author of spicy romance and fantasy. She has an addiction to iced coffee, period dramas, buying D&D dice and watching horror movies. She lives in London with her husband and perfectly round cat.
The Reaper, Jackson P. Brown
From a thrilling new debut voice comes a dark and gripping urban fantasy, set in the heart of a hidden world beneath the streets of London – perfect for fans of Legendborn. The Reaper follows Gerald Reaper and Amy St Clair as they solve fantastical mysteries whilst maintaining the secrecy of the city's underground supernatural community.
Jackson P. Brown is a writer from London, an anime and manga enthusiast, and the founder of Black Girl Writers — a mentoring programme for aspiring Black writers. After winning Penguin Random House’s #WriteNow competition in 2020, her urban fantasy series, GETHSEMANE, was acquired by Del Rey UK.
Firstborn of the Sun, Marvellous Michael Anson
From the author of His Dark Reflection comes the dazzling fantasy debut Firstborn of the Sun. Lóre has hidden her lack of sun-magic for years, fearful for her life. But when her best friend Alawani faces death at the hands of the Holy Order, Lore discovers the power of shadow and ice within her, and a destiny that will shatter everything.
Marvellous Michael Anson was shortlisted for the Future Worlds Prize in 2023, the 2022 Jericho Writers Friday Night Live Competition and the 2022 Kit De Waal Bursary and won the 2023 Jericho Writers’ Self Edit Course Bursary.

To Cage a Wild Bird, Brooke Fast
The Hunger Games meets Pr*son Break in this eagerly anticipated enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. With a killer concept, exceptional world building, characters you can’t help but root for and a heart-pounding romance, To Cage a Wild Bird is an addictive read that's impossible to put down.
Brooke Fastis a lover of dystopian, fantasy, and all things romance. When she’s not writing new worlds, you can find her curled up on the couch with her husband and their pups in their self-built tiny house in the mountains of Maine. She’ll either be consuming copious amounts of coffee and thumbing through the latest romantasy release or sharing book reviews and writing snippets under her alter-ego, @librarybrookes.
