Hyo the hellmaker

Ghosh, Mina Ikemoto, author.

"Hyo Hakai is a hellmaker, hired to create customized hells and unlucky days for your worst enemies. When a demon destroys her village, Hyo and her brother flee to Onogoro -- an island where the gods of their land live among humans. The hellmakers' hereditary curse, however, won't allow Hyo to settle in quietly. Hyo is curse-bound to investigate the deaths that come her way and avenge them. As she's pulled deeper into a tangled web of dark secrets, Hyo must navigate the intricate rules of Onogoro's gods without becoming their pawn. She'll quickly realize that murderers and gods have one thing in common-- they always think they can get away with it ... At least, that was before Hyo arrived."--Provided by publisher.....

His face is the sun

Corpora, Michelle Jabès, author.

A dying throne. A dark prophecy. Four strangers whose destiny will determine the fate of the kingdom. In the golden heat of Khetara, rebellion smolders and ancient gods stir. As whispers of the pharaoh's illness spread, a long-forgotten oracle begins to awaken―binding a princess, a priestess, a rebel, and a thief to the fate of an empire. The kingdom is cracking, and four lives are about to collide: Sita, a princess who uncovers a betrayal powerful enough to destroy the royal court. Neff, a young priestess burdened by divine visions that predict devastating destruction. Rae, a farmer's daughter sharpened by injustice and poised to tear down her oppressors. Karim, a tomb robber whose discovery in the desert awakens an ancient enemy. Drawn together by unseen forces, these chosen four must decide what they're willing to sacrifice when power demands blood.....

Seventeen-year-old Billie feels like she is on top of the world. She gets to spend the summer with her best friend, sparks are flying with her crush, and she has received a promotion to ride operator for one of the most buzzworthy new attractions in the theme park she works at. But the first night on the new job takes a dark turn when her creepy coworker mysteriously dies…on her ride, when she isn't authorized to be running it.

It's as if someone is trying to pin his death on her, and she has one night to figure out who is really responsible before she is blamed. Billie recruits the help of her friends to sneak around the park after-hours and search for the truth. But as the night stretches on and more people wind up dead, Billie realizes she may not make it out of Murder Land alive. And her friends may know more than they're letting on.....

The romance rivalry

Lee, Susan (novelista), autora.

Irene Park loves romance novels—so much so she’s made a career of them as an online book reviewer with a massive following. But Irene’s real life dating story? Non-existent. So when she starts her freshman year of college, she sets her sights on finding true love using the one thing she really understands…romance book tropes. Enter Aiden Jeon, Irene’s online book review rival and biggest nemesis. When Aiden challenges her to see who can find love-by-trope first, he becomes the one person standing in her way to getting everything she wants both professionally and personally, too. So when the competition takes an unexpected turn, forcing the two of them to have to partner in the ultimate trope, fake dating, Irene is not prepared for everything she believed about romance, and Aiden, to flip on its head. As Irene tackles the challenges of college life, struggles to figure out what she really wants for herself, all while trying to win the race for love, Irene realizes the answers may not be found in a romance novel. Happily Ever Afters seem so easy on page. But for Irene to find her ultimate HEA, she’ll have to get her nose out of the book and become the main character of her own story.....

Lady's knight

Kaufman, Amie, author.

Gwen is sick of hiding--hiding the fact that she's taken over her father's blacksmithing duties, hiding her attraction to girls, hiding her yearning for glory as a knight. Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle of Avington, queen bee of the castle, has never once considered hiding who she is--until now. She's been chosen as the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers, to be given to whichever knight can claim her hand. And for the first time in her life, she can't talk her way out of trouble. When Isobelle discovers Gwen's knightly ambitions, they hatch a scheme together--Gwen will joust in the tournament, disguised as Sir Gawain. Winning means freedom for Isobelle, and glory for Gwen. Losing means... well, let's not go there. One thing's for sure: Falling in love was never the plan. But the best laid plans... are often trampled all over by dragons.....

These vengeful gods

Novoa, Gabe Cole, author.

Years ago, the descendants of the god of Death were murdered. The few that remain are in hiding, including Crow, a teen who survived the genocide and hides their magic to stay alive. After fleeing their village, Crow now lives with their uncles in the lowest part of the city: the Shallows. Life in the Shallows is tough, but Crow’s even tougher. Hiding their magic has made Crow resourceful, cunning, and unbeatable -- which comes in handy as a fighter in the city's lucrative underground fighting ring. Then, Crow's uncles are arrested for harboring Deathchildren. With fists tightly clenched, Crow vows to set their uncles free. But to do that, they’re going to need to enter a world that threatens Crow’s very existence. Carefully navigating the politics of the wealthy and powerful, they enter the Tournament of the Gods -- a gladiator-style competition where the winner is granted a favor. As they battle their way towards the winner’s circle, Crow plans to ask the gods for their uncles’ freedom as their reward. But in a city of gods and magic, you don’t ask for what you want. You take it.....
