Summary: What if you don’t fit the labels? What if you’re too different? Who’s ready for ‘adulting’? Best friends since kindergarten, Tay and Third have grown up side by side—navigating crushes, identity, family, and the endless maze of growing up in a world that doesn’t always know what to do with you when you’re different. Now, with high school in the rearview mirror and their first off-campus apartment on the horizon, they’re facing their biggest test yet: adulthood. Tay’s relationship with Toby—the new kid he never saw coming in 10th grade—has deepened into something physical, something real, something exciting in its intensity. Meanwhile, Third, still fairly new to identifying as asexual, is struggling with the space between who he is and who he thinks he’s supposed to be. His boyfriend says he gets it, but their definitions of asexuality don’t quite match. Does that mean Third is broken? Or just… untranslatable? As the trio settle into college life, they find comfort, friction, and love in unexpected places. The bond between them grows stronger—but so do more questions. What are they to each other? What do they owe themselves? And when a life-altering choice appears on the horizon, none of them are ready for the answer—or the fallout that could follow. In this emotionally positive and affirming continuation of the It’s All Good series, Book 4 explores friendship, sexuality, queer identity, and the beautiful, complicated mess of becoming your true self. Everything changes after graduation. Even some things you thought never would.

Summary: The tasks are simple. Everett Mulligan is there to collect the body. Kyle Bowman is there to clean up the scene. Easy peasy. Get in, get out, get gone. But Everett, for all he can be on another planet with fourteen tabs open in his brain, isn’t stupid like the cops think he is. Something about this death scene isn’t sitting right, and he’s going to figure it out. Bonus? He gets to team up with the adorkable crime-scene cleanup guy to solve the mystery. Kyle, ever the thorough and detail-oriented cleaner, can’t ignore the scene’s irregularities either. He also can’t ignore the seriously attractive himbo from the mortuary who insists they should work together to solve what the cops insist isn’t a crime. Especially when that himbo is also enamored with Kyle’s cats and fiercely determined to make friends with his cranky piranha, Steve. There’s a reason this death isn’t being treated as a homicide, though, and there are people who are very motivated to keep it that way. And they’ll do whatever it takes to keep the pair of amateur sleuths from uncovering the truth.

Summary: A vampire on the run. An elf in need of a purpose.   Ro Laceleaf, failed forester, is the sole member of Merseton's town watch. It's not an exciting job by any means, but after Geoffrey's disastrous necromantic experiments, the townsfolk insist it's necessary. Ro is both diligent and bored out of his skull, until one night he's called to an emergency at Mrs. Pickle's. A vampire is attacking her house.   On the run for several years, Edmund is near starvation and out of options. His last hope for refuge? Merseton.

The more he speaks to Edmund, the more horrified Ro becomes over what he's been through. Edmund's telling the truth—Ro's certain of that—but he's not telling all of it. Ro needs to gain Edmund's trust to learn the whole story, about Edmund and the terrifying enemies hunting him, while not letting Edmund become a distraction. Yes, fine, he's already a distraction. But Ro's not going to fail, not this time. The town, and Edmund, will be safe, no matter what Ro has to do.   This book contains an adorable fruit bat, geese of frightening properties (since when aren't they?), co-habitating demons, and a guaranteed HEA.
