A Destiny to Defy
Tessalyn Ausra has been betrayed at every turn, but she’s also dealt betrayals of her own. With the consequences of her choices hanging over her, she’s done letting others define her purpose, but choosing that path could prove costly. Theon has sent her away, and Luka is wrestling with his own destiny, unsure if that still includes her. The rest of Tessa’s companions are wary now that everyone has tasted her vengeance and experienced her chaos. Maybe they should be. Maybe balance has always been an illusion. And maybe she stands at the same crossroads she has been at from the very beginning: salvation or destruction?
A Fate to Outrun
Theon St. Orcas is no stranger to sacrifice. He has spent his entire life ensuring the ones he loves are safe. Preparing to face the Fates and the destruction of their realm, he only wants to spend the time he has left with the family that remains in Devram. But as he prepares to find his brother, more than one secret comes to light that has him questioning everything. Were the sacrifices all for nothing in the end?
A Future to Change
Just when he thought he was adjusting to his new life in the Underground, Axel St. Orcas finds himself thrust into a battle with the dark and depraved. With Kat at his side, they set about building alliances with the other Districts. But everywhere he looks, there’s sabotage, not to mention the kingdoms fracturing beyond the Underground. He refuses to bend a knee to injustice, but can he really change the future for those who have been wronged?

Library Journal: A reclusive widower and a lonely wanderer open their hearts to love with the help of two ghosts in Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka’s latest, following Book Boyfriend. Morgan is searching for a solution for an unusual problem—she’s being haunted by the ghost of a past lover, and his supernatural disturbances are threatening her home, her current love life, and her peace of mind. Sawyer, on the other hand, would prefer to stay haunted by the ghost of his fiancée forever, but she has other plans. When Sawyer and Morgan meet at a haunting support group, their ghosts seem to want them to work together to solve their unfinished business. The novel successfully blends humor and sadness, especially via the character of Zach, a ghost who becomes more and more compelling and funny as the book goes on.
VERDICT Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka offer a story about love flourishing, despite and because of sorrow, successfully managing a tricky balancing act between grief, romance, and the paranormal. Recommend to readers who enjoy the work of Rosie Danan and Andie Burke.

Kirkus: Morgan has been a nomad all her adult life, haunted by past failures and seeking new places to escape them by taking landscaping jobs around the country. But being followed by the ghost of Zach, a one-time hookup, is a new experience even for her. Then she meets Sawyer, who’s been mourning his fiancée, Kennedy, and clinging to her ghost in the house in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood they’d planned to redesign together. In trying to free both their ethereal companions and themselves, Morgan and Sawyer agree to work together. Sawyer will let Morgan stay in the studio attached to his haunted house and help her figure out her ex’s unfulfilled wishes so Zach’s ghost can pass on; Morgan will landscape the garden Sawyer planned to create with his fiancée so Kennedy’s spirit can be at peace. As they crisscross Los Angeles in their quixotic quest, Sawyer starts to develop feelings for the free-spirited Morgan even as he fears losing his tie to a happy past. Morgan, meanwhile, is thinking of putting down roots, drawn to Sawyer as he puts himself back together. For a new love to grow, both need to conquer their fear of loss. Despite long meditations on death and grief, the novel has some funny moments, thanks to Zach, who used to be a surfer. The third act breakup and subsequent resolution bogs down the narrative’s early momentum and could have used some pruning. The L.A. setting is integral to the plot, serving almost as a character; the location and its careful use in the narrative feel like a rarity in contemporary romance at the moment.
For readers looking for a sentimental romance with ghostly leanings.
She tried to kill him, so he made her his wife.
Skadi first met her husband-to-be with blades in hand on the opposite side of a battle. She lost, and he claimed his prize.

Except her new husband makes not falling in love . . . challenging.
When new threats arise, Skadi must decide to either love her enemy or keep him alive by betraying him to another.
