Pretty Monsters
- Author: Speed Andrea
- Genre: Graphic Novels
Josh knew the night shift at the Quik-Mart would be full of freaks and geeks—and that was before the hell portal opened in the parking lot. Still, he likes to think he can roll with things. Sure, the zombies make a mess sometimes, but at least they never reach for anything more threatening than frozen burritos. Besides, it’s not all lizard-monsters and the walking dead. There’s also the mysterious hottie with the sly red lips and a taste for sweets.
Son of a Witch
- Author: Maquire Gregory
- Genre: Graphic Novels
Son of a Witch is the sequel to Maguire’s wonderful book Wicked. It is the story of what happened to Liir, the son (probably) of Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West). While Wicked had a very broad scope where you were always aware of the world around Elphaba full of political, social and religious depth,Son of a Witch generally has a much narrower view, largely focusing just on Liir and the people around him with little concern for the broader picture. The result of that shift is that readers have much less of a grasp of what is going on in Oz and why certain things might be happening. The political situation is extremely fuzzy and unclear and the religious issues are much harder to understand. This kind of hurts what could have been a very interesting book.
Lothaire
- Author: Kresley Cole
- Genre: Graphic Novels
The cat's out of the bag! Lothaire's heroine is revealed. Her name is...Elizabeth Peirce, and she is the first mortal IAD protagonist, a character we've met before, not his original Bride, a being of untold power, and on death row. (And at least one of those statements is false) Which do you think are true? p.s. for those of you who'd wondered if his heroine would be Nix...I've had her hero picked out from the very beginning of this series (he's the only one who can handle Nucking Futs).
Snowdrop
- Author: Li Augusta
- Genre: Graphic Novels
When pickpocket Robin Pastorious comes across some graphic photographs of a young man suffering in bondage, he knows he has to liberate the victim—even after seeing the long, distinctive ears that mark the subject as a faerie, a creature Robin has been taught to hate and fear. Robin finds that the fey Snowdrop is afflicted with somewhat loose morals, a desire to be restrained, and a learned fear of reprimands, so naturally his ensuing encounters with Robin are both blistering and sporadic. But the faerie’s distant, fickle nature eats away at Robin’s sanity, and Robin ends the relationship. That’s when the village comes under attack by the fey and Robin is captured and put on a train with the very man who tortured Snow. Will Snowdrop mount a rescue and find a way to convince Robin of his sincerity? Or will the pain of their shared past darken any possible future?
Neskaya

But the gods are demanding more than the usual tribute: they demand the life of the king's only son, Neskaya. Lars, Neskaya's best friend and secret lover, is willing to fight for the life of the man he loves, despite Neskaya's odd complacency. Lars has no choice but to seek supernatural aid to save him, and he'll have to somehow convince Neskaya to fight beside him against the entire hungry village if they are to have any chance to survive.
