Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe (2022)

The Dark One has finally accepted me…just in time for everything to change. Because Vane’s brother, The Crocodile, has just arrived on Neverland soil and he’s not alone. He’s brought with him members of the royal Darkland family and they want Vane’s Death Shadow back at any cost. Of course, Peter Pan, Vane, Kas and Bash, they’re all familiar with war. But war isn’t easy when love is on the line. I know those vicious Lost Boys would do anything to protect me. But what if I’m not the one that needs saving? As power shifts on the island and shadows are claimed, all five of us have to let go of who we were, if we have any chance of becoming who we are destined to be. -- NOTE: Their Vicious Darling is book three in the Vicious Lost Boys series. It is a dark romantic reimagining of Peter and Wendy. All characters have been aged up. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy Their Vicious Darling. You can expect an island with darkness and secrets and no true hero in sight, with a found family atmosphere, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. Their Vicious Darling ends on a cliffhanger.

Prince of Bones by Chani Lynn Feener (2022)

**Mila's lived her whole life with one goal: destroying the upir and sometimes their lesser evil cousins, vampires.** She's fought and trained for almost all of her eighteen years so that she'd be ready to lead the Ouroboros order, a society of hunters that has been around since Dracula was known simply as Vlad the Impaler. She's executed many kills, led hundreds of hunting parties, and honed her abilities as a runemaster. But something's coming, something that even a life like Mila's couldn't prepare her for. Hunters are dropping all around her, and monsters are doing the unheard of. Working together. **Kestrel's second life has been about one thing: protecting his people.** He's long since accepted his role in the vast supernatural world, and what's more, he's learned to relish in the power. Which is why it pisses him off so much when something shows up announced, screwing with the order of things. With only one option left to him, Kestrel undergoes the unthinkable, disguising himself as a moroi hunter in the Ouroboros order. There was a time when he respected their services, but having been corrupted some centuries back, his opinion of them has since been altered. He's going to have to convince them to join forces if they're ever going to stop whatever's coming. The only problem is, forming a truce with the enemy might actually be more impossible than stopping the biggest evil the world's ever seen. To make matters worse, Kestrel and Mila find themselves drawn to one another, even as they struggle to fend off the growing threat and solve the mystery surrounding a string of attacks. But Mila has a preordained destiny she can't escape from, and Kestrel...Well, he has secrets of his own. When Mila discovers what those secrets are, will she turn her back on him and his offer of a truce, or will she stand by him and fight for the world they both live in?

Ulalume by Chani Lynn Feener (2022)

It's a magical place where June feels safest, where she feels like she can be herself. Until it isn't. Because it turns out, Ulalume isn't so made-up after all, and neither are the creatures June has unwittingly unleashed. Dov has come to Kalmia Academy for one reason: Find someone who can slip through the umber and into the shadow world Ulalume. What he doesn't expect is to meet June, a quick-witted girl who always seems to be tinged in a sadness she tries desperately to keep hidden from the rest of the students. Or Ash, the person who connects her to Ulalume and taught her how to get there. A person Dov doesn't entirely trust, although, that could have something to do with the slight jealousy he feels whenever June talks to him. Together, the two plan on rescuing Dov's lost sister, but the denizens of Ulalume have plots of their own. They've been bidding their time, waiting for people as strong as June and Dov to open a gate between the worlds. Will June be able to protect the Academy from things unseen, or has she accidentally doomed her friends to a fate worse than death?
