You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny. If you're one of the Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural a-holes. Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn't get the memo. Which means we're totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae. Air. Fire. Water. Earth. No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. And it hasn't made us any friends so far. As the rarest Elementals ever known, we're already a threat to the four celestial heirs; the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we've ever seen. It doesn't help that they're the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And probably on earth too. Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. They've only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they'll stop at nothing to succeed. We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne. We can't expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves. So if the dragon shifters want some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready. But we've been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our blood. Today's horoscope: totally screwed.

Mae Soares My parents were shady people. I knew that. They thrived on their perfect image and their perfect family. What I did not know was that their money came from the Tokyo yakuza, and that after their deaths, their debt would become my problem. When their boss shows up and asks me to marry him instead, my life changes in an instant. I’m swept up into a world of crime and money, where apparently, violence is always the answer. Little does the yakuza know that I don’t follow anyone’s rules but my own, and I don’t like trying to be controlled. Tetsu Kuro is in for it if he thinks that I’m going to let him tell me what to do. Tetsu Kuro I didn’t have time for love. The underground world didn’t allow for that. But when I laid eyes on Mae Soares… I knew she had to be mine, whether she wanted to be mine or not. So I gave her an offer that she couldn’t refuse and took her as mine. And then the Japanese yakuza imploded on itself, with a new player coming in and causing chaos just for the fun of it. The problem? Mae is the target. And I will be damned if anyone tries to take her away from me.

Jeden anderen hätte Brittany Ellis, wohlbehütete Beauty Queen und unangefochtene Nr. 1 an der Schule, lieber als Chemiepartner gehabt als Alex Fuentes, den zugegebenermaßen attraktiven Leader einer Gang. Und auch Alex weiß: eine explosivere Mischung als ihn und die reiche »Miss Perfecta« kann es kaum geben. Dennoch wettet er mit seinen Freunden: Binnen 14 Tagen wird es ihm gelingen, die schöne Brittany zu verführen. Womit keiner gerechnet hat: Dass aus dem gefährlichen Spiel alsbald gefährlicher Ernst wird, denn Brittany und Alex verlieben sich mit Haut und Haaren ineinander. Das aber kann die Gang, der Alex angehört, nicht zulassen …

Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance. ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits. With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out. Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay. After all, a good job is hard to find.
