When Bennett Barker is forced to move to a small town for his senior year of high school, he thinks his biggest problems will be missing his friends, figuring out his back-home situationship, and coming clean to his mom that he isn’t following in her footsteps by majoring in astronomy. Then an alien named Caelum crash-lands into his life. Literally. Bennett rescues the alien when his pod slams down to Earth while Bennett is out delivering pizza. But this isn’t an E.T. situation. Caelum is tall, turquoise, and incredibly kind, which makes it hard for Bennett not to catch feelings. Now Bennett has to find a way to get Caelum back home. But as Bennett grows closer to the alien, he starts wondering if his extraterrestrial crush is hiding the truth about why he ended up on Earth. Characters

Text: "You might be too broken to help me yourself," she said, all pretense of courtesy gone, "but if you're a shadow of the man he said you were, you ought to still know something at least.

Title: Pitch
Text: Niozene has never been good enough. 

As daughter and crown heir to the Mother, a living goddess and ruler of her country, perfection is the only standard she’s ever known. Yet, despite her flawless scholar’s education and a polished career as a ranger, Niozene has failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest flaw—she lacks the holy power to control the minds of others that ordains her family as living gods with divine right to rule. 

When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she is stripped of her titles and given an ultimatum: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as a final chance to prove herself and show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. 

Allowed only the help of Sonsan, a surly tracker and criminal also facing excommunication, Niozene dreads that she may have lost her chance at redemption before she has even left home. But when Sonsan reveals that he shares the same strange shape-changing power as the assassin, Niozene realizes his assignment to accompany her is more than coincidence. As they track the assassin deep into a forbidden land, confronting demons, ancient magic, and the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, they must uncover the truth behind their quest—and the buried history neither knew they shared—if they wish to live to see their promised redemption.

A moodboard featuring images of an hourglass with green sand inside, a warm acorn growing from green leaves, a blue ocean coming up against a rocky brown coast, a dark figure wearing a homburg hat and looking out to the ocean at night, a notebook with the words “learn from the past” in it, the headlights of a car at night, the outline of a wolf howling against the full moon, a city bench with the words “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” written above it, and a light up sign reading “Los Angeles” against a blue sky. All the images are set against a green sunlit forest background. The words “August OUT OF Time” are written over the front.

PRINCE OF THORNS × THE FOOL × THE BUTCHER BOY When a court jester finally snaps and murders the tyrant king, he must joke and kill his way out of a kingdom in chaos—hunted by loyalists, worshipped by rebels, and slowly losing his mind. #BluePit 📖 #A #F #H #W
This is a book cover for "Mark of the Jester" by B. Van Bodegom, described as "A Dark Fantasy Novel." The cover features a dramatic cosmic scene with a starry black space background. The central element is a large, pink-tinted celestial body that appears to be a moon or planet with a cratered, skull-like surface - the dark craters and shadows create the impression of hollow eye sockets and other skeletal features.In the foreground, silhouetted against this ominous moon, is the dark figure of what appears to be a jester or fool character, complete with the characteristic pointed cap with bells or ornaments. The figure is positioned in the lower portion of the cover, creating a striking contrast against the pink lunar surface.The title "MARK" appears in large, bold white letters across the upper portion, with "OF THE" in smaller text in the middle, and "JESTER" in large letters at the bottom. The author's name "B. VAN BODEGOM" is positioned at the very bottom in smaller white text. The overall color scheme uses stark contrasts of white text, black space, and the haunting pink tones of the skull-like celestial body to create a dark, foreboding atmosphere appropriate for the dark fantasy genre.

Agent guide for I Am Chosen, an M/M paranormal romance by Dawn Berkoski. The picture is of a fiery orange and purple sunset over a highway. Photography by Dawn Berkoski Several photos are shown on this mood-board for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance by Dawn Berkoski. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river.

Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. 

The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others.

The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. 

Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. 

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

When provided with the opportunity to steal a necklace containing immeasurable magic, hedge witch Blake Delacroix must decide whether to accept the life society has laid out for her or steal the power she has always been denied. #bluepit #Q #YA #LGBT #F
An image of a castle surrounded by forest. VEILED ENCHANTMENTS. YA FANTASY WITH DARK ACADEMIA AND SAPPHIC RIVALS TO LOVERS. COMLPETE AT 80,000 WORDS.The blurb:

Seventeen-year-old Blake has spent her life studying magic at Holtsworth Academy with the hope of joining the ranks of the Royal Corps, an elite infantry comprised of divine witches descended from the gods. There’s only one problem: Blake isn’t a divine witch at all. 

As niece of the headmistress, she is confined to the role of assistant and silent observer of the extraordinary lessons unfolding around her, her own negligible powers denying her full participation.

A spark of hope arrives when Blake learns that the Grandwitch has brought a secret necklace containing a volatile and immeasurable magic to the academy.  Just as she finds a way to obtain it for herself, the necklace disappears and Blake believes she knows exactly who to blame: Maeve Moram, a powerful student who has always had it in for her.

What begins as a quest to recover the necklace results in Blake unearthing not only the hidden truth of her fellow hedge witches but also a deeper and darker power that she can’t begin to comprehend.Comp Titles:

Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven (sapphic romance, rivals to lovers, generational trauma)

Wisteria by Adalyn Grace (familial relationships, lost deities, gothic-lite)Snippet:

“It all comes so easy to you, and you don’t even deserve it.” I scoff. “Do you think the Corps would have selected you if your mother wasn’t Lady Death? I bet Adrien only sticks around to take the attention away from him being one of the Dregs.”

It can be hard to remember just how far down the gods’ bloodline he is when he’s lording it over me. But there is no forgetting just how close Maeve is to the power of Death herself.

“Where I get my magic from doesn’t matter.” She steps so close that I can feel her breath on my skin. Her eyes are slits, her teeth bared. “All that matters is that I have it – and if people want to make use of it, who are you to say otherwise? Just because you hate how small you are. How weak. You must drown in it.”
