There are ten golden rules to follow if you want to survive an encounter with a fae:

1) Don't ask their name.

2) If they ask you what your name is, lie.

3) Avoid looking directly into their eyes.

4) Don't invite them to your book club.

5) Don't instigate a snowball fight.

6) Never let them burn their mouth on coffee.

7) Don't ask them where they're from.

8) Don't tell them where you live.

9) Never mention their queen.

10) Don't try to kill them with an ordinary human gun.

If you fail to do any of these things, enslave them immediately.

On a cozy fall morning, Kate Kole is nestled in a coffee shop in the city of Toronto reading her favourite novel when she accidentally kills a guy who's being rude to the coffee shop's cashier. Unfortunately for Kate, the person she killed was a fae assassin of the North Corner of Ever, visiting the human realm in secret.

From there, four deadly fae assassins come to the human realm to hunt her down for breaking a fairy law and killing one of their own. Leading them is Prince Cressica Alabastian, the most feared and deadly fae assassin of the North and heir to the North Corner of Ever.

After the assassins arrive in the human realm, things go terribly wrong. To Prince Cressica's horror, his assassins unwittingly get roped into running a cozy café on Kate Kole's behalf. To blend in, the fae assassins are forced to learn how to do basic human activities like cleaning up after themselves, driving without road rage, reading popular fantasy books at book club without getting into alpha male fights over what they're reading, and in general, be nice, all to blend into regular human society.

With a temper like no other, and deadly power that's unmatched, Prince Cressica seeks to get revenge on Kate Kole. But as he aims to strike where it will hurt her the most, the Prince finds himself enchanted by his human target in more ways than one. And when the darkness of the Ever Corners comes knocking at the human realm's door, he needs to make a choice that could cost him everything.

WELCOME TO FAE CAFÉ is like Holly Black's tricky FOLK OF THE AIR schemes meeting your grandmother's freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. With a sweet, comical romance and relatable slice-of-life moments colliding with manipulative fairy games and deathmatches, this book puts a spin on the typical fae stories readers know and love and aims to be the coziest rom-com fae book of all time.

This book may leave you with answers to questions you never know you wanted to ask, such as, "How many fae assassins does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

With coziness for days, WELCOME TO FAE CAFÉ is a new spin on some of the most popular fae fantasy tropes, in a setting where fae most definitely don't belong. If you liked LEGENDS AND LATTES by Travis Baldree this may just be your cup of tea. (Or coffee.)

In the quiet suburbs, while Dorothy is doing chores and waiting for her husband to come home from work, not in the least anticipating romance, she hears a strange radio announcement about a monster who has just escaped from the Institute for Oceanographic Research... Reviewers have compared Rachel Ingalls's Mrs. Caliban to King Kong, Edgar Allan Poe's stories, the films of David Lynch, Beauty and the Beast, The Wizard of Oz, E.T., Richard Yates's domestic realism, B-horror movies, and the fairy tales of Angela Carter--how such a short novel could contain all of these disparate elements is a testament to its startling and singular charm.

But this is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a seeing of the unseen.

As the detectives uncover the dead woman's secrets, they begin to suspect a truth that could cost them more than their lives. What stands against them are murderous powers in Beszel and in Ul Qoma: and, most terrifying of all, that which lies between these two cities.

A career defining tour-de-force from New York Times
bestselling, award-winning and "formidably gifted" (Chicago Tribune) author
of Peace Like a River Leif Enger.

A storyteller "of great humanity and huge heart" (Minneapolis
Star Tribune), Leif Enger debuted in the literary world with Peace Like
a River which sold over a million copies and captured readers' hearts
around the globe. Now comes a new milestone in this boldly imaginative author's
accomplished, resonant body of work. Set in a not-too-distant America, I
Cheerfully Refuse is the tale of a bereaved and pursued musician embarking
under sail on a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply
beloved, bookselling wife. Rainy, an endearing bear of an Orphean narrator,
seeks refuge in the harbors, fogs and remote islands of the inland sea. Encountering
lunatic storms and rising corpses from the warming depths, Rainy finds on land
an increasingly desperate and illiterate people, a malignant billionaire ruling
class, crumbled infrastructure and a lawless society. Amidst the Gulliver-like
challenges of life at sea and no safe landings, Rainy is lifted by physical
beauty, surprising humor, generous strangers, and an unexpected companion in a
young girl who comes aboard. And as his innate guileless nature begins to make
an inadvertent rebel of him, Rainy's private quest for the love of his life
grows into something wider and wilder, sweeping up friends and foes alike in
his strengthening wake.

I Cheerfully Refuse epitomizes the "musical, sometimes magical and deeply
satisfying kind of storytelling" (Los Angeles Times) for which Leif
Enger is cherished. A rollicking
narrative in the most evocative of settings, this latest novel is a symphony
against despair and a rallying cry for the future.
