Between the Tropes Book Club
On the 2nd of every month, I will spin the tropes wheel on social media (think: enemies to lovers, one bed, second chance, forbidden love...) and you get to choose ANY book that fits the theme.
When we meet at the end of the month, we’ll share what we read, gush over our favorite moments, and hopefully discover a few new books for our TBR piles.
No pressure, no assigned reading — just great company, shared obsessions, and lots of swooning.

KD Walt - Release Party
PREORDER HERE: Mercy for Dominion Preorder, KD Walt
Mercy for Dominion is a dark dystopian romance perfect for readers who love reluctant allies to lovers, corrupt government, rebellion, found family, and slow-burn romance.
Nowhere in Dominion is safe.
Especially not for Savannah West. Despite inescapable obsession from one of Dominion’s most ruthless soldiers, she must provide for her mother and elderly neighbor without becoming further entwined in his web. But when plans to save her neighbor go awry, Savannah is forced to face her biggest fear.
She can’t keep her family safe on her own.
Injured and distraught, Savannah finds herself in the hands of Ledger Morgan, the infamous leader of a compound outside of Dominion. Faced with no other options, she agrees to work for him in exchange for survival. The job in question? Getting close to the one person she wants to avoid.
Ledger took a vow to fulfill his duties with no attachments. A vow he created to ensure that nobody gets too close to his secrets, or to the truth he’ll never stop punishing himself with.
Getting close to him is a death sentence.

Molly Harper Author signing
Come meet Molly Harper and celebrate her newest book release with us!
She used to be the sidekick. Now she might be the only one who can survive.
As teens, Harlow Drake and Lainey Piper built an online fandom solving small-town crimes. Harlow was the star, Lainey the behind-the-scenes genius (and often, Harlow's scapegoat). Years later, Harlow's hosting a hit true crime tv show. Lainey? She's working in forensics. Well, forensic accounting . . . from home. In pajamas. With her cat.
But when Harlow faces significant backlash over fumbling a case, she needs a quick win--like a special investigation into the decades-old disappearance of a starlet from a once-glamorous, now decrepit island hotel. The catch? It's bankrolled by Deke and Bryce of DBag Games, who are looking to shed their "frat bro" reputations. As long-time fans, they have one requirement for their funding: Lainey has to play the sidekick again.
Lainey is wary, but the offer is a lifeline in a sea of unpaid student loans. After reaching the Crossings Hotel, she realizes she's not content to be Harlow's helper anymore. As the cold case heats up, a crew member falls over dead, presenting Harlow and Lainey with a more modern mystery: what secrets does this hotel hide within its walls?
With sabotage, hidden staircases, and a killer in their midst, Lainey steps into the spotlight and takes charge of the investigation. It's up to her to crack the case--as long as she can stay alive.

Samantha Moran - author signing
Get wasted, get laid, and get the f*ck over it.
That’s my friend Braxton’s motto when it comes to life’s trickiest problems. So, when my cheating fiancée leaves me just months before our wedding, he comes up with a simple plan to help me get over her: go to the club, hit on the hottest chick I can find, and take her home.
But, it isn’t Braxton’s life on the line – it’s mine. And when he departs early with a prize on his arm, he leaves me stranded at the bar.
Alone. Broken. Vulnerable.
Nothing is as it seems at the club, either. Tucked away in an alley, hidden behind a nondescript steel door, The Rabbit Hole harbors plenty of secrets. The blonde bartender is irresistible, the drinks are to die for, and no one misses you when you’re gone.
Wendy Kok Author Signing
For the past year, the residents of Neelsville have been experiencing an unusual phenomenon. Birds are flying into windows, people's eyes are turning black, and the crosses at the local church are slowly turning upside down. This inherent darkness has taken over the town, leaving its usual joyful residents full of unease at every step. When Michael, aka The Traveller, wakes up in a hospital bed completely unaware he was knocking on death's door, he comes to the realization that the town of Neelsville is in dire need of help. Mavis, the town recluse with exceptional powers--joins forces with Scout, the Traveller, and others, to rid this town of its demons. A story of love and friendship, darkness and hate. If they all can't band together, the once beautiful resort town in the woods, will forever be shrouded in darkness.
Q&A with Elizabeth Salo
Elizabeth Salo is a Michigan native who loves magic, myths, and mayhem. She writes paranormal romance, romantic suspense, and urban fantasy books and is a sucker for a strong female lead. She firmly believes she should have been born with superpowers, but since she wasn’t, she’ll have to make do with writing about people who do.
She currently lives in Michigan with her family and more fur babies (and feathered babies, and scaly babies…) than is probably wise.

Kayliani Shi - Release Party & Author Signing
She was his chance for redemption.
He was her key to freedom.
Prince Ramiel Faundor is a bastard. His entire existence is the second best-kept secret in a kingdom built on blurred lines. But when his dragon-slaying brother dies in battle, Ramiel must stand in his place in the kingdom's coronation duel. There's just one problem: thanks to the king's intimidation, no noble or soldier dares to train him.
Ether Malaphon is a cutthroat elven warrior. Her hatred for humanity is etched into her soul, second only to her resentment for the fairies who killed her parents. Her world unravels when she's dragged from her village to be sacrificed to a long-dead monarch. But fate intervenes when a certain desperate prince strikes a bargain that might save her life. If he rescues her, she must agree to train him for his duel.
As time runs out and enemies close in, Ramiel and Ether must navigate dark curses, buried secrets, and a history determined to repeat itself. But in a kingdom shaped by betrayal, victory may come at the ultimate cost.
