Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender

Forget magic wands and pointy hats, “Infinity Alchemist” by Kacen Callender brews up a different kind of fantasy.

Ash, our boy, gets the cold shoulder from wizard school, forcing him to sneak study after-hours (groundskeeper life has perks).
Just when he thinks he’s mastered brewing invisibility potions, bam! Ramsay Thorne, the queen bee apprentice, stumbles upon his secret. But instead of ratting him out, she throws him a curveball: help her find the Book of Source, a legendary magical manual so mighty it could make Hogwarts jealous.
Cue the adventure! Ash and Ramsay team up, facing off against Ash’s grumpy dad (it turns out alchemy runs in the family) and other bigwigs who wouldn’t mind getting their hands on the ultimate recipe book. Along the way, their rivalry melts into something unexpected (romance? gasp!), and Ash grapples with what true power means (spoiler alert: it’s not just making fireworks on demand).

Cyrus’s past is darker than a bad batch of midnight cookies, and Alizeh has to decide if his bloody reputation is all hype or hidden truth. Sparks fly, not the good kind, until an unexpected attraction ignites, hotter than a dragon’s breath. Suddenly, murder feels less appealing when things get tangled enough for a telenovela. BAM!

Yeah, she’s back, and this time, she’s taking on power-hungry gods who are sucking the life out of Otera like juice boxes. Talk about thirsty!
But Deka’s got her own problems. Her mortal body’s about as sturdy as a wet cracker, and the empire’s teetering on collapse like a Jenga tower in an earthquake. So, with her ragtag crew of besties, she blasts off to the edge of the map, unearthing a secret realm that spills the tea on her past. The twist? Becoming a god to stop the apocalypse means saying bye-bye to everyone she loves. Ouch.

Something spooky’s brewing in Belgium: whispers of haunted trenches and a hotel where soldiers vanish to escape the horror.
Flashback to 1917: Freddie Iven, Laura’s bro, is huddled in the mud with a wounded enemy soldier named Hans. It’s chaos out there, but a guy at a mysterious hotel promises an escape: forget the war, forget the pain. Sounds tempting, right?

With love hanging like mist over the deck, they’ll dodge close calls, navigate political storms, and maybe even save five kingdoms while at it. But the question is, how much are they willing to sacrifice for what they believe?

But trouble bubbles over like a burnt batch of Earl Grey when shadows threaten her empire of whispers. So, Arthie strikes a deal with a mesmerizingly dangerous adversary (think devilishly charming, not your grandma’s bridge partner). The mission?

Premee Mohamed’s “Butcher of the Forest” chills to the bone with a time-ticking rescue mission in a forest that eats people for breakfast (and lunch, and maybe dinner).
Up north, where a nasty tyrant lord lives over the land, lives the Elmever Forest – basically, creepy kid-eater Central. Everyone steers clear except Veris Thorn, the only person to ever snatch a kid back from its clutches… years ago.
But hey, plot twist! Tyrant’s two brats vanish into thin air, and guess who gets drafted for round two? Yep, Veris. One problem: one day in the Elmever traps you forever, and failure equals, well, you get the picture.

Fathomfolk by Eliza Chan
February 27, 2024
Step into the enchanting world of “Fathomfolk” by Eliza Chan, where modern myth and magic collide in the semi-submerged city of Tiankawi, reminiscent of “Jade City” and “The Bone Shard Daughter.”
Tiankawi is hailed as a haven for those escaping civil unrest, with its shining skyscrapers and promises of safety. However, beneath its surface, the city is divided between humans living in the towering structures above and the fathomfolk—sirens, sea witches, kelpies, and kappas—dwelling in the polluted waters below.
Half-siren Mira, now the captain of the border guard, seizes her chance to reform the city’s repressive laws that oppress fathomfolk. Yet her efforts are jeopardized when a water dragon named Nami arrives in the city and aligns with an extremist group, threatening to undo everything Mira has worked for.
As tensions escalate, a dangerous game unfolds, orchestrated by Cordelia, a second-generation sea witch with her ambitions.

Ahhh I’m so exited for some of these! You make them sound amazing.
I also wanted to make a little recommendation – you’ve got Amazon links to the books (I assume it’s an affiliate link) but the links force you to the American Amazon, which I and others out of the US won’t be able to use. I’d love to buy them with your link, given you recommended them so you deserve the credit. Perhaps you could look into if there are non-country specific links, or add a link for each of the most common countries your readers are from? Not sure how viable it is, just a thought.
Thank you so much! I’m glad they sound good!
I will see if I can look into that, I know there is a way on Amazon to do it and I tried to figure it out once but it was more complicated than I expected lol. You would figure they would let you have one link that goes between all available countries right!
