The second book in Mary Borsellino’s Wolf House series, Roads and Crosses follows two of the hunters as they navigate the aftermath of the shattering events of Origins and Overtures. Already prone to anger and self-doubt, Lily’s fight has become a fight against her own dark thoughts just as much as it’s a fight against the vampire gangs. And Will’s clinical, detached approach to vampire hunting has always helped him in the past, but now it threatens to cut him off from his emotions and his friends completely. And if they can’t save themselves, what good are they to Jay, Rose, and Bette?

Our first holiday romance from the talented Rachel V. Olivier. The only thing Holly likes as much as being in a band is being in a relationship. She just can’t turn a cute guy down, and she has the disastrous dating history to prove it. On the eve of her band’s biggest performance, a Christmas festival raising funds for the homeless, Holly meets two intriguing men, but even she can’t date both at the same time. So now the question is: which one? It takes some special holiday magic, a dash of music, and a little help from her friends to figure it out, but Holly’s heart wins out in the end.

Kinlea Keeper is a very nice but sickly boy sent to the country to die. Except, of course, that he doesn’t. Instead, he’s taught to “keep” Haneth’s End, a lovely pocket of magic existing parallel to the real world. He comes to reailze that there’s something wrong in Haneth’s End, and possibly with the other Keeper’s demesnes. If he has to face witches, goblins, and fairy reels to find out what’s gone wrong and set it right, he will. Death, his old friend, is setting a place for him at her table. Hopefully he’ll be able to miss this appointment as handily as he has the first. This is an engaging story that readers of C. S. Lewis should enjoy.

Sheehan’s tale of a steampunk samurai and his sometimes magical companions is a truly enjoyable read. Hikage, a noble Samurai, is convinced to join a conspiracy against his lord, a vicious man who cares nothing for his people. He wields the sword that strikes the man down, but he is startled by the master’s daughter, and strikes her down as well. Mourning the death of this innocent girl and repudiated by his co-conspirators, he throws his sword in the River Han and sets out on the road with no particular destination in mind.While traveling, he meets a mysterious woman who refuses to leave him alone until he agrees to be her bodyguard to a distant city. It is only after he agrees that he discovers that her eventual goal is magical, and that her enemies are also his own. They must travel together by foot, mechanical horse, and dirigible across the country and back again, searching for a means to save the empire with their enemies in pursuit, and some of their enemies aren’t human. If they fail, it isn’t just their lives at stake, but their entire way of life.
