This Week’s New Releases

Title: The Second Thread
Series: The Glimmer Thread Book 2
Release Date: 08/25/2025

Austin’s magic is unraveling—and Alice Arroyo’s wedding plans are the first thread to snap. Every time she tries to finish the luminous engagement weave that should bind her to Matt, the final stitch hisses, frays, and falls apart like a broken promise. Stranger still, heartbreak-haunted antiques are flooding her pawn shop: a pendant that cries saltwater, a scarf that breathes with someone else’s grief, a mirror that shows memories that were never hers.

All signs point to the long-dormant Second Thread—an experimental bonding spell abandoned decades ago—sparking back to life beneath the city’s taco-truck smoke and street-art murals. To stop it, Alice must team up with Ronan, the charming not-quite-ex whose half-knot still tugs at her heart. Together they’ll brave a forgotten thread-vault, dodge soul-gnawing scarabs, and decide whether closing the Second Thread means finishing it… or cutting it once and for all.

Dragons not required—just neon lace, spider-spun blessings, and a love story that refuses to obey the pattern. If you crave the dragon heat of Fourth Wing and the city-sized stakes of Crescent City, dive into The Second Thread and watch Austin’s magic—and Alice’s heart—ignite.

Series: Lost and Forsaken Book 4
Release Date: 08/29/2025

The City of Champions has a new contender

For twenty-something years, Cian lived an ordinary life. Then his heritage awakened. Then his enemies noticed. Then everything went to hell.

A dragon’s natural charisma or something more? Cian’s supernatural family grows stronger by the day. Vampires who should drain him, shifters who should fear him, a necromancer who should kill him. Together they’re rewriting every rule the magical world lives by.

Someone really doesn’t like that. Someone with the power to do something about it.

The enemy hides behind proxies and pawns. Mercenaries who shouldn’t know about dragons arrive with specialized weapons. Vampires and shifters who’ve been enemies for centuries suddenly coordinate attacks. Government agencies that monitor magic turn blind eyes to obvious violations.

Ancient forces stir. Old agreements shatter. One goddess reaches out from her prison.

Another goddess watches from shadows, waiting for Cian to fulfill a blood-soaked bargain.

The supernatural world has rules. Dragons were meant to break them.

Discover what happens when the impossible becomes inevitable. When ancient blood awakens, will Cian become the protector his found family needs? Or will he become the weapon his enemies plan to forge?

Title: Dark Dreams
Series: In My Mind’s Eye Book 2
Release Date: 08/29/2025

The man from her nightmares is real.

Twenty-three-year-old Ivy Lewis sees the future in fragments: glimpses of disasters she’s powerless to prevent. She’s learned to live with the visions that mark her as different, dangerous even. When a mysterious letter arrives bearing a name from her childhood dreams, everything changes.

Someone has been watching her for years. Someone who knows what she is. Someone who wants what pulses beneath her skin.

Now the San Francisco seer community whispers her name with equal parts reverence and fear. They say she amplifies power. They say she breaks it. As an ancient society fractures around her, Ivy finds herself caught between two men: Ethan, the investigative journalist who grounds her, and another whose very presence makes her question which reality is real.

In a city where illusions bleed into truth, every choice ripples outward. Every vision she touches transforms. And the line between salvation and destruction rests on a gift she never asked for—one that might destroy everyone she loves.

They call her the catalyst. The question is: for what?

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed. Some futures, once seen, become inevitable.

Will Ivy master the power that both terrifies and defines her? Or will she become the very darkness she’s spent her life trying to escape?

One woman. Two futures. No safe choice.

She sees two futures: one burns, one drowns. Both call her name. Discover which vision becomes reality. Pick Up DARK DREAMS today.
