Bookbub – Unexpected Revival (Revived Series) by E.L. Roux
Dying a thousand years ago was the easy part.
Stopping a planetary annihilation? That might just kill her again.
The cat-like alien blocking her exit was the first clue Shannon had that something wasn’t right. Discovering she’d was freshly thawed from cryogenic stasis was her second. When the corporation that revived her wants answers about how she played a part in the destruction of earth over a millennium ago, she’s more than willing to respond. The only problem is she doesn’t remember how.
He was everything she wanted, but nothing like what she was used to…
Out of balance in this new era, Shannon turns to D’lane, the other out-of-place being in her new sphere of existence. Now slightly less terrifying, the intimidated alien male is shifting from a close friend to something more. A relationship she’d be more willing to explore if he wasn’t dead set on fulfilling his destiny, at the cost of destroying everything they’d built.
She wanted it all, but she’d have to save the galaxy to keep it…
With another planetary annihilation on the horizon, it’ll take everything Shannon and D’lane have to work together and unearth new information on how to stop the impending battle. With enemies hiding everywhere, they’ll have to learn to rely on each other to survive what’s coming for them, because not everyone wants to stop the attack.

A sentient curse must choose.
Discover how to stop death…
…or bring down a nation?
In a country where combining magic is forbidden, sorcerers dedicate themselves to protecting everyone from the mindless monsters that kill thousands this crime creates: curses.
But Whisper is different.
Whisper, a self-aware curse who inhabits the bodies of different hosts to interact with the world, witnesses death as its first experience of existence.
A death it caused.
Traumatized by this encounter, Whisper seeks to infiltrate the humans in power to find how to eradicate death entirely. Making new hosts and allies into friends, it begins to learn more about the world and its unique nature.
But powerful sorcerers threaten Whisper and its allies, and a conspiracy looms that could topple the entire realm. Whisper needs to protect those it has come to cherish. But no matter what it chooses, someone will have to die.
Whisper’s creation may have been an accident, but its destiny will not be.

GOODREADS – Reunion (The Hellgate Chronicles) by Jocelyn Lindsay
BOOKBUB – Reunion (The Hellgate Chronicles) by Jocelyn Lindsay
It’s been twenty-five years since she sealed the Hellgate.
Now, she’s gotta stop the apocalypse. Again.
Meg Walker, a grunge teen of the eighties, has always been rebellious and unconventional. So after a disastrous senior year she flipped destiny the bird and skipped town. But her 42nd birthday comes with an unpleasant surprise: a psychic call from her comatose best friend from high school. Someone is trying to open the Hellgate.
Resigned to her duty as the gatekeeper of evil, Meg reluctantly goes home—it’s time to live up to expectations. As she struggles to reconnect with her old friends, she learns the (second) apocalypse is a cakewalk compared to old romances, professional careers, teenage children, and unresolved emotional baggage.
Is it possible confronting the demons from your past is worse than actual demons?

Jocelyn grew up reading fantasy books by men, about men, for men. When she’d had enough of that, she wrote my own stories. These days she writes urban fantasy novels featuring strong, relatable heroines who navigate both supernatural and real-world challenges with resilience and wit. She wants to showcase badass women who continue to grow and kick ass well into their 40s and beyond. Probably because she’s beyond 40. She wants women to know their lives don’t have to be less spectacular over 40 and that the badass years are ahead of them.

In a post-apocalyptic world where humans are extinct and animals thrive, a young rabbit starts to wonder why rabbits must accept their status as prey animals. She asks pointed questions of the warren elders, and gets exiled for it.
Without a warren, she’s enormously vulnerable, but she reaches out to others in desperate straits. Soon, she’s locked in a ferocious battle for survival—and maybe even freedom.
Part naturalistic adventure, part modern-day fable, War Bunny is a fast-paced story about friendship, honor, standing up for yourself, and coming of age.
