Wolf by Wolf
by Ryan Graudin
Aries are bold and ambitious. They dive headfirst into even the most challenging situations, so this action-packed mission to win the race and kill Adolf Hitler is the perfect read for this daring and determined fire sign.
In this alternate universe in which the Axis Powers won WWII, Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has joined the resistance. Tasked with competing in a cross-continent motorcycle race to win an audience with Hitler, Yael will do whatever it takes to avenge the loved ones she lost. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year’s only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele’s twin brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael’s every move. But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission?

GEMINI
(May 21st- June 20th)
The Cruel Prince
by Holly Black
Playful and intellectually curious, Geminis are constantly juggling a variety of passions, interests and groups. They are considered the social butterflies of the zodiac and fearless thinkers always down to try something new. In this fantasy romance, a mortal girl who finds herself living among faeries will stop at nothing— in true Gemini fashion— to earn their acceptance.
Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered, and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.
To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

Our Way Back to Always
by Nina Moreno

With its childhood friends to enemies to lovers romance, Our Way Back to Always is full of emotional ups and downs, sunny days, warm nights, first kisses, and mended hearts.
Luisa (Lou) Patterson grew up across the street from Sam Alvarez in the small, quirky town of Port Coral. They used to be inseparable–spending every holiday together, shooting silly YouTube videos, and rescuing stray cats. But then middle school happened, including the most disastrous (and embarrassing) serenade ever, and Lou and Sam haven't talked in the four years since. Sam is now the golden boy with plenty of friends, while Lou is an introverted romantic who's happy playing video games and writing fan fiction. But it's also the summer before their senior year, and life is knocking on Lou's door.
When she finds the bucket list she and Sam wrote together as kids, before Sam's father was diagnosed with cancer, she's shocked to see that she hasn't accomplished any of the goals she'd set for herself. Go to a party? Nope. Pull the greatest prank of all time? Still no. Learn how to be a really good kisser? Definitely not. Lou sets out to finish the list, and in a stroke of destiny or fate, Sam decides to tag along. Still trying to stay afloat amid the grief of losing his father, Sam himself is staring down a future that feels all too close, and is coming far too fast. But with the bucket list to guide them, Sam and Lou might just be able to find a way through the future, and also a way back to each other.
LEO
(July 23RD- August 22nd)
The Assassins Guide to Love and Treason
by Virginia Boecker
Leos know they are practically royalty: theatrical and passionate, they love to bask in the spotlight. This fire sign enjoys cultivating friendships and romances that are inspired artistically and creatively. And they have no problem leaning into drama-fueled romances like the one between Lady Katherine and Toby Ellis.
When Lady Katherine’s father is killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers treason wasn’t the only secret he’s been hiding: he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I. With nothing left to lose, Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father’s mission, and to take it one step further — kill the queen herself.
Katherine’s opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare’s newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. But what she doesn’t know is that the play is not just a play. It’s a plot to root out insurrectionists and destroy the rebellion once and for all. The mastermind behind this ruse is Toby Ellis, a young spy for the queen with secrets of his own. When Toby and Katherine are cast opposite each other as the play’s leads, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But the closer they grow, the more precarious their positions become. And soon they learn that star-crossed love, mistaken identity, and betrayal are far more dangerous off the stage than on.
VIRGO
(August 23rd- September 22nd)
Daughter of Sparta
by Claire Andrews
Virgos are considered logical and practical. This earth sign is a perfectionist at heart and isn’t afraid to improve themselves through diligent practice. Daphne embodies that perfectionist spirit in this reimagining of ancient Greek mythology in which she will do whatever it takes to rise up and become the most powerful fighter her people have ever seen.
Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis—who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands—upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit.
Guided by Artemis's twin—the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god Apollo—Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves.
LIBRA
(September 23rd- October 22nd)
Incendiary
by Zoraida Cordova
This air sign is represented by the scales because Libras value harmony and balance. They strive to achieve symmetry in all aspects of life and are masters at resolving conflicts. In this magical tale of love and revenge, Renata must adopt the skills of a Libra to infiltrate an enemy court and carry out plans to restore a kingdom to its former glory.
As a memory thief, the rarest and most feared of the magical Moria, Renata was used by the crown to carry out the King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people. Now Renata is one of the Whispers, rebel spies working against the crown. The Whispers may have rescued Renata years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred—or the overpowering memories of the hundreds of souls she drained during her time in the palace.
When Dez, the commander of her unit—and the boy she's grown to love—is taken captive by the notorious Principe Dorado, Renata must return to Andalucia and complete Dez's top secret mission herself. But as Renata grows more deeply embedded in the politics of the royal court, she uncovers a secret in her past that could change the fate of the entire kingdom—and end the war that has cost her everything.
SCORPIO
(October 23rd- November 22nd)
Kingdom of the Wicked
by Kerri Maniscalco
For Scorpios life is a game of chess. These calculating water signs are constantly plotting several steps ahead in order to orchestrate an eventual checkmate. They simply know what they want and aren't afraid to play the long game to get it. Even if that means teaming up with one of the very frustrating, but attractive, princes of Hell to solve the mystery of their sister’s death.
Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin…desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister’s killer and to seek vengeance at any cost-even if it means using dark magic that’s been long forbidden.
Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women’s murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems…
SAGITTARIUS
(November 23rd- December 21st)
You’re Next
by Kylie Schacte
The Sagittarius is always seeking to gain knowledge. This fire sign chases after geographical, intellectual, and spiritual adventures and can be found traversing the whole world on thrilling expeditions. In You’re Next, a girl with a troubled history of finding dead bodies investigates the murder of her ex, she uncovers a plot to put herself — and everyone she loves — on the list of who’s next.
Flora Calhoun has a reputation for sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. After stumbling upon a classmate’s body years ago, the trauma of that discovery and the police’s failure to find the killer has haunted her ever since. One night, she gets a midnight text from Ava McQueen, the beautiful girl who had ignited Flora’s heart last summer, then never spoke to her again.
Just in time to witness Ava’s death from a gunshot wound, Flora is set on a path of rage and vengeance for all the dead girls whose killer is never found. Her tunnel-visioned sleuthing leads to valuable clues about a shocking conspiracy involving her school and beyond, but also earns her sinister threats from the murderer. She has a choice: give up the hunt for answers, or keep digging and risk her loved ones’ lives. Either way, Flora will regret the consequences. Who’s next on the killer’s list?
CAPRICORN
(November 23rd- December 21st)
The Winter Duke
by Claire Eliza Bartlett
A Capricorn’s inner fortitude can overcome whatever stands between them and their long-term goals. They don’t let anything stop them from getting ahead. When Ekata finds herself in way over her head in a struggle to maintain her family’s throne and power, her fortitude— and her heart— are put to the test.
All Ekata wants is to stay alive—and the chance to prove herself as a scholar. Once Ekata's brother is finally named heir to the dukedom of Kylma Above, there will be nothing to keep her at home with her murderous family. Not her books or her experiments, not her family's icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. But just as escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness, and no one can find a cure.
In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's captivating warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challengers from without—and within—her ministry. Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love . . . or for a crown she has never wanted. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family's magic and power. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield them both.
AQUARIUS
(November 23rd- December 21st)
Amelia Westlake Was Never Here
by Erin Gough
Every Aquarian is a rebel at heart! These air signs despise authority. They are free-spirited, eccentric, and can often be identified by their nonconformist attitude like the leading ladies in this queer romantic comedy about two girls who can’t stand each other, but join forces in a grand feminist plan to expose harassment and inequality at their elite private school.
Harriet Price is the perfect student: smart, dutiful, over-achieving. Will Everhart is a troublemaker who’s never met an injustice she didn’t fight. When their swim coach’s inappropriate behavior is swept under the rug, the unlikely duo reluctantly team up to expose his misdeeds, pulling provocative pranks and creating the instantly legendary Amelia Westlake–an imaginary student who helps right the many wrongs of their privileged institution. But as tensions burn throughout their school–who is Amelia Westlake?–and between Harriet and Will, how long can they keep their secret? How far will they go to make a difference? And when will they realize they’re falling for each other?
PISCES
(November 23rd- December 21st)
The Drowning Summer
by Christine Lynn Herman
A Pisces's attention is constantly divided between fantasy and reality. This water sign can easily become swallowed by emotions and must remember to stay grounded in the real world. Like a Pisces, The Drowning Summer is a mix of gritty and real with just the right amount of magical, witchy goodness.
Six years ago, three Long Island teenagers were murdered—their drowned bodies discovered with sand dollars placed over their eyes. The mystery of the drowning summer was never solved, but as far as the town’s concerned, Evelyn Mackenzie’s father did it. His charges were dropped only because Evelyn summoned a ghost to clear his name. She swore never to call a spirit again. She lied.
For generations, the family of Mina Zanetti, a former friend of Evelyn, has worked as mediums, using the ocean’s power to guide the dead to their final resting place. But as sea levels rise, the ghosts grow more dangerous and Mina has been shut out of the family business. When Evelyn performs another summoning that goes horribly wrong, the two girls must navigate their growing attraction to each other while solving the mystery of who was really behind the drowning summer…before the line between life and death dissolves for good.
