Amanda's Pick
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is the perfect blend of Outlander and Game of Thrones, complete with political intrigue, dangerous magic, reluctant alliances, and Ilona Andrews' signature humor. When Maggie wakes up in the world of her favorite unfinished fantasy series, she realizes that her encyclopedic knowledge of the kingdom of Rellas may be the key to survival. Surrounded by warlords, assassins, magical creatures, and far too many people trying to kill her, Maggie quickly discovers that knowing the story and surviving it are two very different things.
What makes this book so much fun is Maggie herself. Clever, determined, and wonderfully relatable, she finds herself drawn into the schemes of princes, dukes, and villains while trying to prevent the devastating war she already knows is coming. Packed with action, sharp dialogue, memorable characters, and just the right amount of romantic tension, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is an irresistible start to what promises to be an unforgettable series.
Startup Hell
Startup Hell by Caitlin Rozakis is what happens when corporate burnout, tech-bro culture, and urban fantasy collide in the most entertaining way possible.
Morgan Blackwater is trying to survive life as a junior salesperson at a chaotic startup when she finds herself tangled up with a demon named Lucareoth, infernal contracts, and a corporate culture that turns out to be far more literal than anyone expected. Rozakis brilliantly transforms the exhausting realities of modern work life into a hilarious, sharp, and surprisingly heartfelt fantasy adventure.
The humor is one of the book's greatest strengths. From soul-selling executives to absurd office politics, the satire is biting without ever losing sight of the story's heart. Morgan is wonderfully relatable, Luke is impossibly charming, and even the side characters manage to steal the spotlight.
