May 10th is Archery Day, and whenever I see archery, I think of one person: Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games saga by Suzanne Collins. Archery as a sport has existed for thousands of years, but the power of one book changed my perspective on it forever. Maybe some of today’s new book releases will change your perspective like that.
A Mythical Case of Theft is the latest in A Mythical Pet Sitting Mystery Series by Melissa Erin Jackson. When a priceless phoenix feather vanishes from a high-stakes charity auction, cousins Deandra and Wendy are plunged into a race against time. With their grandparents’ reputation on the line and a vengeful talisman tycoon fanning the flames of scandal, the pressure is on to solve the mystery before chaos ignites—literally.
But this isn’t just about a stolen artifact. The feather’s volatile magic could be weaponized, and if it falls into the wrong hands, the entire realm of Axia could burn. As old secrets resurface and danger circles ever closer, Deandra and Wendy must uncover the truth hidden beneath layers of lies, rivalry, and greed—because when feathers appear, danger is near.
The Weathering the Storm Series by Ashley Amy begins with To Wish on a Weed. Life was a pendulum, always swinging but never quite touching death—until one woman attempted to stop the clock herself. She failed. Now, she must carry the weight of surviving her own end, pretending she doesn’t still long for the silence, even as everything around her unravels further.
Stolen Magic is Camille Peters‘ entry into the multi-author All That Glitters Series. Lysandra, daughter of a slain witch, is driven by revenge when her village is raided, and her family’s magic is stolen by the ruthless kingdom of Eldoria. Disguising herself as a handmaiden, she infiltrates the court of Eldoria, intending to take the place of the princess who is set to marry Prince Callan and ascend the throne.
As Lysandra maneuvers through court politics, her quest for vengeance becomes more complicated by unexpected feelings for the prince she’s meant to deceive and a growing connection to the stolen magic that threatens to overwhelm her. Torn between her thirst for retribution and an emerging love that could either save or destroy her, Lysandra must navigate a dangerous path filled with deception, passion, and power.
Purrfect Ransom is the latest in The Mysteries of Max Series by Nic Saint. Join Max, his fur family, and the trusty humans to untangle the latest mess.
