A man falls in love with his childhood best friend, who happens to be a (really hot) shapeshifting monster.

Scott’s been best friends with Griffin since they were kids. He’s been in love with Griffin since they were teenagers. Things definitely would have been easier if Scott had fallen in love with somebody who wasn’t an enormous, half-human, shapeshifting monster, but compared to Griffin, everyone else is just so ordinary. Scott and Griffin have grown apart since they started attending different colleges, but this spring break, they’re on a quest to track down Griffin’s mysterious shapeshifting kin, based on a clue Scott found in an old book. Which means Scott needs to decide if he should risk confessing his love (and crucially, his attraction to Griffin in all his forms) or if he should keep quiet so he doesn’t hold Griffin back from what might be his best life— even if that best life is without Scott. Also this quest is probably going to require breaking the law a little bit. This is going to be one hell of a spring break.

Phoenix Falling: A Wildlands Novel (Dark Alchemy #5) by Laura Bickle February 26, 2019 Paperback: 384 pages Publisher: Harper Voyager ISBN-10: 0062567357 ISBN-13: 978-0062567352 Genre: Urban Fantasy, Horror, Dark Fantasy, PNR, Paranormal Fantasy Laura Bickle, the critically acclaimed author of Nine of Stars and Witch Creek, returns with a fiery new chapter in her celebrated Wildlands series. In the Yellowstone backcountry, a merciless source of evil carries a torch for the past… Petra Dee and her immortal husband, Gabe, have been trying to gain a toehold in what passes for ordinary life in Temperance, Wyoming— a wickedly enchanted land founded generations ago by the alchemist, Lascaris. Petra may be adept when it comes to the uncanny, but as a reasoned geologist, Petra still can’t fathom the wildfires suddenly engulfing Yellowstone National Park, or why Gabe claims to have seen the sky explode in flames. The answers could lie in the past. It was a dreadful night in 1862 when Lascaris went harvesting for souls, only to be set upon by townsfolk determined to eliminate the root of all evil in a trial by fire. Petra can’t help fearing that Lascaris has crawled out of the ashes of history to wreak vengeance—and to complete his mission by claiming every vulnerable soul in Temperance. With the help of Gabe and her coyote sidekick, Sig, Petra must now venture into Lascaris’s shadow before he turns her world into an inferno burning out of control. “Bickle is well on her way to establishing her work as a cornerstone of her genre.” —Publishers Weekly
