Today on the site I’m delighted to welcome back Jes Honard and Marie Parks to reveal the cover of Undeniable, a paranormal thriller with an asexual MC and the second book in the Grigori Cycle, as well as the new cover of Unrelenting, which was originally revealed here! First, here’s the story behind Undeniable, which releases October 28th from Not a Pipe Press:
A lifeless body awaiting immortality.
Magic that erodes a sister’s identity.
Enemies bent on retribution.
Bridget has saved her sister, Dahlia, from imprisonment. But their reunion has come with enormous costs. Their friend was murdered in the rescue efforts, and Dahlia herself is no longer fully human.
Together, they seek to grant their friend a second chance at life. But the magic that will save him also paints a target on their backs.
As the sisters race to uncover the key to resurrection, Dahlia’s former captors pursue them—coveting the ancient powers and seeking justice for their own fallen companions.
At the same time, they must also contend with Dahlia’s immortal life, new abilities, and fracturing personality.
Undeniable is the second book in The Grigori Cycle. Multi-Hugo Award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal called Unrelenting “a tapestry of emotion that effortlessly weaves together the threads of grief and obsession.”
Here’s the ethereal cover, illustrated by Lauren Raye Snow, with a background symbol designed by Gigi Little!

I absolutely love that queer cozies in every genre are on the rise, so I’m delighted to welcome Kat Hillis and Rosiee Thor to the site today to reveal the cover of their upcoming paranormal mystery, Dead & Breakfast, which releases October 14th from Berkley! Here’s the story:
The new vampires in town are sinking their teeth into solving a murder…
Married odd couple Arthur and Sal are totally normal. They wear sunscreen, not because the sun can kill them, but because even the undead need a skincare regimen. They eat garlic whenever they want, though it gives Sal indigestion. They can talk to creatures of the night, but only the raccoons that rifle through their garbage. Really, they don’t bite… except into delicious baked goods.
Ready to settle down and stay out of trouble, the two have opened a bed & breakfast in the idyllic, if not-so-paranormal-friendly, town of Trident Falls, Oregon. But trouble finds them when the mayor is discovered dead in their begonias with two puncture wounds in his neck. With the help of a werewolf barista, the elven town coroner, and a very human city manager, Arthur and Sal will need to prove they aren’t literally out for blood by catching a killer…
And here’s the bloodthirsty-yet-cozy cover, designed by Colleen Reinhart with art by Liam Eisenberg!
Kat Hillis is an author of queer speculative fiction full of silly jokes and twisty plots. A southerner now living in Alabama, she’s a lifelong fan of vampires, murder, and puns. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s gaming, drawing, or making handcrafted soaps.
Rosiee Thor began their career as a storyteller by demanding to tell their mother bedtime stories instead of the other way around. Now, they write stories for all ages, including young adult novels Tarnished Are The Stars and Fire Becomes Her, the picture book The Meaning of Pride, and tie-in novels for franchises like Life is Strange and Firefly. They live in Oregon with two cats, a dog, and an abundance of plants.
Kat and Rosiee live on opposite sides of the United States and like opposite parts of the writing process, but they are unified in their love of puns! After helping with each other’s books for years, they penned their first novel together: Dead & Breakfast.
Today on the site I’m delighted to welcome back Paul Michael Winters to reveal the cover of The Haunting Between Us, a coming-of-age ghost story releasing from Maelstrom Press on January 7th, 2025! Here’s the story:
Sixteen-year-old Cameron Walsh can’t believe the boy of his dreams just moved into the house of his nightmares.
He dreads the haunted Victorian mansion across the street, where the ghost of the White Lady roams the halls. When he sees her through the bay window, his ghost-hunting friend Abby wants to investigate. But then the new owners pull up, and Cameron is captivated by the brooding, handsome boy moving in. He longs for a boyfriend, but years of bullying have shattered his self-esteem.
Sixteen-year-old Hugo Cruz and his father flip old houses, moving often, fleeing from the grief at the loss of Hugo’s mother. They unknowingly move into the most haunted house in Port Townsend, Washington. From day one, Hugo encounters shadows that move by themselves, locked doors without keys, and hidden rooms. He hides the mysteries from his superstitious father, not wanting to uproot their lives.
When the White Lady becomes impossible to ignore, Hugo turns to Cameron to help uncover the house’s dark history. They soon form a bond that goes beyond friendship, but as their feelings deepen, the White Lady’s wrath intensifies. Entangled in a web of sinister secrets, they risk not only their love but their very existence.
And here’s the appropriately haunting cover, designed by Valerie Gomez and illustrated by Marcella Bolivar!
