Ghosts of Revenance – Levi Reynolds
A story of two futures—one near, one distant—and a mechanical folk called anthromechs, who straddle the eras on a mission to preserve humanity’s memory.
In the summer of 2061, Emily is a nonbinary computer science student making ends meet by participating in an experiment to digitize the human mind.
In another summer, century unknown, Emily awakens in an unlikely contraption at a storage facility where commercial electronics sit unused since an extinction event known only as the EMP. Recent events have tested the boundaries of the “happy law” algorithm that protects anthromechs from violent AIs, and a rogue visitor during Emily’s genesis stokes fears of worse to come.
Follow Emily on a quest for answers and identity in Revenance, a warehouse city where fast friends are just a shelf away, but ghosts of human condition haunt the aisles of free will.

Catch Lili Too – Sophie Whittemore
Lili is a Mesopotamian siren, and life as an immortal being is hard enough as it is. She’s asexual (which is incredibly difficult to reconcile if your entire point as a mythical being is to seduce people to death). She’s also struggling with depression from being alive for so long.
Lili is an absolutely shoddy improv-detective trying to track down a serial killer so ruthless that it makes even her murderous soul uneasy. However, there’s something larger at work than just one serial killer. A small town is hiding an even deadlier, global-scale secret. Forget Area 51 conspiracies. This one beats them all. With magic.
So, what better way to spice up her eternal life than being hired as a vigilante detective to stop a serial killer? Anything, literally anything. She’d trade her left lung to get out of this. Or, perhaps, somebody else’s.

Say It Out Loud – Robin Amanda
Morgan has been lonely. She hasn’t had a partner for a while and she’s growing restless. Since the popularity of a certain Vampire series in the early 2000s, she’s found that she can earn her way into the bed of any woman she wants by suggesting that they might be the mate she’s fated to be with. She has a mate of course, all dragons do, but it won’t be one of the humans with whom she spends her time. It’s worked well for her up until this point, when the object of her affections doesn’t believe her, and now she has to work a little harder to get the one she wants into her bed.
Hilly has never been one for romances, let alone paranormal ones. When she agreed to pick up a book for her brother she didn’t plan on being hit on by an extremely hot woman, let alone one who claimed to be an ancient dragon shifter. She doesn’t believe Morgan, that would be ridiculous, but she can’t help but feel a pull toward the older woman she didn’t expect. And she’s just curious enough to find out.
Neither anticipated that Morgan’s pick up line would prove prophetic. When it becomes clear that Morgan’s immortality is waning and they need to seal their mated bond, or risk Morgan losing her life, they’ll need to decide where to go from here, and save their lives in the process.
Say It Out Loud is a sapphic fated mates satire novella with a respectable amount of sparkly vampire jokes, and the dragons have four legs and two wings.

Isla y Tres – Nathalia Tortora
In Spanish:
¿Cuánto odio se le puede tener a una persona? Muchísimo.
Isla detestaba tanto a su jefe que deseó que lo partiera un rayo. Rogó que algo malo le pasara, ¡lo que fuese! Que lo atropellara un colectivo, que se le incendiara la casa, que se electrocutara al salir de la ducha. ¡Cualquier cosa!
Su aversión hacia Miguel Ángel Santino era tan fuerte, de hecho, que un demonio escuchó la plegaria y decidió aceptar el pedido de asesinato por pura diversión.
A la mañana siguiente, Isla despertó con un grillete alrededor de su tobillo. Dentro de su departamento, una criatura humanoide sostenía el otro extremo de la pesada cadena, como si se tratara de la correa de su perro.
Ya es demasiado tarde para retractarse del deseo.
El pacto es sencillo: Isla tiene tres días para disfrutar de la vida y poner sus asuntos en orden. Luego, el demonio se llevará su alma.
Bajo el estrés de la cuenta regresiva, la muchacha se ve obligada a aprender que vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias y que un fin de semana no es suficiente para enmendar numerosos años cargados de arrepentimiento.
In English (the book is in Spanish)
How much can you hate a person? A whole lot.
Isla hated her boss so much she wished lightning would strike him. She prayed for something bad to happen to him, anything at all! That he’d get hit by a bus, that his house would burn down, that he’d get electrocuted stepping out of the shower. Anything!
Her hatred for Miguel Ángel Santino was so intense that a demon actually heard her wish and decided to take the murder request just for fun.
The next morning, Isla woke up with a shackle around her ankle. Inside her apartment, a humanoid creature was holding the other end of the heavy chain, like it was walking her on a leash.
It was already too late to take back her wish.
The deal was simple: Isla had three days to enjoy life and get her affairs in order. After that, the demon would take her soul.
With the clock ticking down, she was forced to learn that living in fear is like only half-living, and that one weekend is not enough to make up for years filled with regret.

When Cole offers to trade information on the killers in exchange for sanctuary, Brady realizes he doesn’t have a choice. It isn’t about justice. He simply can’t turn his back on the face of the only man he’s ever loved. Even if he’s a vampire.
