A platform for bookish tastemakers
From exclusive content and book clubs to the collaborative publishing of entirely new voices, Bindery empowers tastemakers and their communities to elevate and celebrate stories that deserve to be read.
It’s that time already to vote for next months fantasy and thriller/horror reads! I know I say this every month but I am literally so excited for every single book to choose from😅😅Everyone will get two votes, one for fantasy, and one for thriller/horror for those of you who read in both genres. Voting will end on 10/30!
Here’s your weekly round-up of brand new, progressive-leaning romances that you may not have seen on your Instagram feed. There are also THREE new releases by past Rebel Ever After guests hitting shelves this week! If I’ve omitted a title you feel passionate about and think this community will enjoy, please do share it in the comments. Reminder that I haven't read any of these titles yet, so this isn't an official endorsement unless noted. Click through to read the post on Bindery for my full commentary.
Prey For Me by Allie Oleander (Berkley) — I was blown away by Allie’s traditionally published debut Willing Prey last year. This follow-up sounds even spicier. We talked about kink, consent and dark romance on the podcast here!
Damned If I Do by Alexandria Bellefleur (Berkley) — A new paranormal M/F romance about the Devil’s right hand woman and her reincarnated husband, by a queer icon and REA guest.
Isn't He Romantic? by Adib Khorram (Forever) — We stan Adib here in the Rebel Ever After community!! The third in the Love on the Vine M/M series goes back to Kansas City and stars fan favorite Arya.
Well Versed by Jen DeLuca (Berkley) — I’m thrilled we’re getting a fifth renaissance faire romance set in the world of Well Met. Huzzah!
So It Grows by Andie Burke (St. Martin's Griffin) — This small-town, business-rivals-to-lovers contemporary M/F romance features bisexual and pansexual representation.
You're The One That I Haunt by Katie Jung (Penguin Books) — Hot Ghost Fall continues with this romance about a woman who must lift her best friend’s family curse before his wedding by dealing with the ghost of his very hot cousin. But she doesn’t really want to stop the wedding… or get rid of the ghost. Love triangle with a hot ghost!!
Read My Lips by Jem Martin (Indie) — This queer contemporary romance features a deaf hero who fakes a relationship with his British Sign Language interpreter. Read My Lips is currently free to read on Kindle Unlimited.
Love Between the Lectures by Christie Curry (Alcove) — The marketing copy got me: “Sparks fly when a human sexuality professor is paired up with her former childhood crush to organize a sexual health event, until the university’s biggest donors—spearheaded by her conservative parents—oppose.”

Canadian book blogger, reviewer + professional book hoarder. 🖤 I read dark romance, horror, thrillers, mysteries, romantasy + anything that leaves me emotionally compromised. Expect honest reviews, chaotic bookish thoughts, questionable TBR decisions + a little witchy energy.
