Maybe in Another Life: A Novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid

A breathtaking new novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold—with stunningly different results.

At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan.

Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan?

In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate?

Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him.

The HUM by Michael Christopher Carter

Carys is pregnant

But she’s never had a boyfriend

Or a one-night-stand

She’s never had contact with anyone to explain her condition

Not anyone human anyway

Her wild claims are dismissed as a symptom of her paranoid psychosis, but Carys knows she’s not crazy to be afraid whenever the dreadful humming noise fills the air; coming from everywhere and nowhere. She knows what it signifies: that her and her baby are in terrible danger…

The Goblin’s Brideby Leigh Kelsey, Lysandra Glass

Marry him. Kiss him. Kill him. But never love him.

The goblin prince killed my sister. For years, I’ve waited for justice, and I’ve finally found the perfect opportunity: Kier Kollastus, the prince himself, will agree to peace with his human enemies if a sacrifice is given. A human bride.

With my face veiled and my knives hidden, I offer myself as the prince’s sacrifice, wearing a liar’s smile as I wait to cut his throat when he sleeps.

But Kier is indestructible except for one night every year. And worse—he’s not the barbarian goblins are supposed to be. He’s almost … appealing. If I’m not careful, I’ll lose my head.

Or my traitor heart.

The Goblin’s Bride is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance with a revenge-sworn heroine and a brooding goblin prince. Expect sizzling tension and a dark mystery that lovers of Hades & Persephone and Beauty & The Beast will enjoy.

They also will find two things neither knew they were missing…each other and their happily ever after.

The Night Peopleby C.S. Hand

Are aliens real–and here on Earth? Sam doesn’t want to believe it, but if they’re visiting him at night, what choice does he have?

The Night People have been visiting Sam for ten years, since he was five.

Sam is the definition of a teen loner. Jade is smart and outgoing. She wants a boy-girl friendship with Sam. Just a simple friendship. But Sam is afraid to have friends, because of the Night People. They appear to be aliens, and if people know he sees them, they’ll think he’s crazy. Jade convinces him they should become partners and investigate these mysterious beings.

The Night People’s actions are straight out of a sci-fi mystery. But what are they doing in a small Midwestern town? What do they want with Sam and Jade? And how do two ordinary teens end up being harassed by an army officer? Or stranded in an underground military base? Or in Area 51?

Sam and Jade are already dealing with teen issues–anger, bullying, abuse, and trust (or lack of it). Will their new friendship survive these challenges and lead to something more? Will they discover who the aliens are and what they want?
