Meet me at midnight

Pennington, Jessica,


Sidney and Asher should have clicked. Two star swimmers forced to spend their summers on a lake together sounds like the perfect match. But, its the same every year -- in between cookouts and boat rides and family-imposed bonfires, Sidney and Asher spend the dog days of summer finding the ultimate ways to prank each other.

But, their plans are thrown in sudden jeopardy when their feud causes their families to be kicked out of their beloved lake houses.

And Asher has a proposition for her: join forces for one last summer of epic pranks, against a shared enemy--the woman who kicked them out. Their truce should make things simpler, but six years of tormenting one another isnt so easy to ignore. Kind of like the undeniable attraction growing between them.

The death of Jane Lawrence

Starling, Caitlin,


Practical, unassuming Jane Shoringfield has decided her most secure path forward is a husband, in a marriage of convenience, who will allow her to remain independent and occupied with meaningful work. Her first choice, the dashing but reclusive doctor Augustine Lawrence, agrees to her proposal with only one condition: that she must never visit Lindridge Hall, his crumbling family manor. Yet on their wedding night, an accident strands her at his door in a pitch-black rainstorm, and she finds him changed. Gone is the bold, courageous surgeon, and in his place is a terrified, paranoid man--one who cannot tell reality from nightmare. By morning Augustine is himself again, but Jane knows something is deeply wrong at Lindridge Hall and with the man she has so hastily bound her safety to. Soon Jane is fighting for her sanity and her life, drawn into a world of secret societies, theoretical mathematics, impossible magic, and rituals gone wrong. And now that the secrets of Lindridge Hall have met her, they're not about to let her go. Set in a dark-mirror version of postwar England, Caitlin Starling crafts a new kind of gothic horror from the bones of the beloved canon.

In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter, Orrawin (aka Winnie), must practice fake dating in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of course and organized based on their favorite rom-coms. Cause that won't end in disaster. The first candidate? The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboon arrogant, infuriating, and way too good-looking. Winnies known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other. And her parents love him. If only he weren't her sworn enemy.

Operation Bounce House

Dinniman, Matt,


All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family's aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. As a fan of Earth television and culture, he figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there's a complication. Even though the settlers were promised they'd be left in peace, Earth's government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Corporation is hired to commence an "eviction action." But maximizing profits will always be Apex's number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying their own AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their own homes? The game is called Operation Bounce House. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who've paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he's ever known.
