A resistance of witches
by Morgan Ryan
"Stubborn, plain-spoken and from an unimpressive family, Lydia Polk never expected to be accepted into the Royal Academy of Witches. Eight years later, with Hitler's army rampaging across Europe, the Witches of Britain have joined the war effort, and Lydia is key to the cause: she must use her magic to track down magical relics before Hitler-known to be obsessively seeking the artifacts himself-and his sycophants can. Then a Nazi witch infiltrates the Academy with heart-breaking consequences, leaving thecoven shaken, exposed and divided: the elder British witches have no interest in further loss of coven life in service of a government that has forced them into hiding for decades, no matter the consequences to the world. But with the discovery of the Grimorium Bellum, an ancient book that leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever it goes-one the Nazi coven is desperate to get their hands on-Lydia's mission has never been more urgent. Alone and woefully outnumbered, Lydia makes her way to the heart of occupied France, where she finds allies in Rebecca Gagne-a fierce French resistance fighter chockful of secrets-and Henry Boudreaux-a handsome Haitian-American art historian with a little magic of his own. Together, they traverse the country, stalkedby the natural and supernatural alike, in search of the grimoire. But, as Lydia soon discovers, finding the Grimorium Bellum is only half the battle: the book has a dark agenda of its own. Lydia must subdue it before the witches of the Third Reich can use it-but she'll have to survive the book herself, first"

Only lovers in the building
by Nadine Gonzalez
"After her legal career comes to a sudden and humiliating end, Liliane Lyon books a restorative summer rental at The Icon, a quintessential Art Deco building in Miami Beach, where her only plan is to bask in the sun, read, and sip cocktails. But soon she's enchanted by the colorful community, including university professor Benedicto Romero--resident tortured poet, whose sole intention for sabbatical is to indulge in brooding introspection. When they discover a shared passion for romance novels, Lily and Ben are soon spending hours reading together by the pool, the spark between them unwittingly giving the other residents the impression that they're experts in matters of the heart...no matter that IRL their disastrous love lives bear little resemblance tothe stories they're reading. But while Ben and Lily can pinpoint a trope a mile away and give excellent advice to others, they can't make sense of the sizzling chemistry between them, and the suggestion of a professional podcast suddenly forces them to consider the long-term. So what if it means working even closer together! So what if their banter makes Lily's head spin! It's the summer of taking chances, but a word to the wise: Miami isn't the place for growth and rebirth. It's the place to get messy"
