Kitra by Gideon Marcus
(YA Science Fiction)

In the first book in the delightful YA Kitra saga, we follow Kitra and her crew of friends as they salvage a Navy spaceship and prepare to live their dreams of spaceflight…only to be unexpectedly plunged into hyperspace and stranded lightyears away from their planet. Tensions rise between Kitra and her shipmates: the handsome programmer, Fareedh; Marta, biologist and Kitra’s ex-girlfriend; Peter, the panicking engineer, and the oddball alien navigator, Pinky. Now, running low on air and food, it’ll take all of them working together to get back home.

(Note: there are illustrations in this short novel, and the illustrator is the youngest Hugo Nominee in history!)

Pucking Around by Emily Rath
(Contemporary Romance)

This one is for our fans of spicy contemporary romance!

Rachel Price is getting her life on track and trying to stay out of her famous family’s shadow to make it on her own in sports medicine. She’s gotten a last-minute chance at her dream job working for a pro hockey team, and she’s not about to be distracted by the hot equipment manager, or the gorgeous goalie who thinks she’s his good luck charm. She already met and lost her Mr. Perfect a few months ago during a magical one night stand on the other side of the country, and she’s here to focus.

One slight problem: Mr. Perfect Mistake turns out to be the hot equipment manager’s bestie. And also one of the players on this NHL team.

The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
(Speculative Fiction)

In this Great Gatsby retelling, Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society—she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s also queer, Asian, adopted, and treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.

But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.

An added delight: the incredible Nghi Vo is a denizen of this stretch of Great Lakes coastline, just as we are!
