Hello e-galley readers! Check out some of the exciting e-galleys that were recently added to Edelweiss for your downloading pleasure:
Oxford, England, 1951—The Honorable Ginevra Bishop likes red lipstick, clever retorts, and earning top marks in her tutorials. She’s following her mother’s footsteps by studying at Oxford, eager to prove she’s more than a debutante.
Sidney Braithwaite likes brooding, Latin, and ignoring his nightmares. He’s determined to forge a new life for himself at Oxford, far from his childhood mining village and free from memories of the war.
Though Gin and Sidney have little in common, the British Security Service is keen to unite her charm with his espionage experience: there’s a Soviet spy at the university, and the agent tracking them down was poisoned. MI5 wants Gin and Sidney to pick up the trail and identify the informant before more sensitive information is compromised. As a team, the pair of undergraduates clash in personality, upbringing, and taste—but have a connection neither can deny. Gin and Sidney must unite their respective talents to follow the clues before they’re caught in the traitor’s crosshairs…if the sparks flying between them don’t blow up the operation first.

At a time when televised cartoons—especially within the superhero genre—were often over-looked, Batman: The Animated Series introduced an entire generation of soon-to-be Batman fanatics to the caped crusader. The series triumphed into what is largely considered one of the best superhero cartoons of all time, and the best depiction of Batman mythology in any format.
But the road to genre-defying and genre-defining success was hardly guaranteed. Along the way, co-creator Bruce Timm and his team of artists at Warner Bros Animation battled a landscape prejudiced against all things Batman. Internal struggles led the writing team and the network to debate everything (literally everything) about how best to depict Batman—from whether or not the eco-friendly hero would have a recycling bin in the Batcave to how many women he was allowed to kiss onscreen.
In I AM THE NIGHT, Daniel Dockery lovingly deep dives into Batman: The Animated Series and the cartoon renaissance it inspired, becoming the definitive primary source for new and old fans of the series alike. Including exclusive interviews with the team behind the cartoon and many never-before-shared insights about the series, I AM THE NIGHT will surprise even the staunchest of Batman enthusiasts and capture what made people first fall in love with the series. As many ups and downs as the DC Cinematic Universe may have, Batman is eternal–and so is Batman: The Animated Series.

Tempest Dunlap loves romance novels, but she knows she’ll never have her own happily-ever-after. She is a sweatpants-wearing doula who homeschools her seven-year-old niece in suburban New Jersey. Unfortunately, she’s also a succubus: Every man she’s ever kissed has died. But Tempest is a good person who never intended to be a murderer, so she’s sworn off love forever.
Then she meets Joel Tav, a gorgeous, gentle doctor who makes celibacy feel impossible. Tempest knows she can’t touch him—or tell him his brother was the last man she dated and accidentally killed.
Meanwhile, a vigilante is hunting people with dark powers, and Tempest is next. Should she keep hiding in her safe, lonely life, or should she embrace the darkness she fears and risk the ultimate forbidden love?
Maybe Tempest will get her love story after all . . . or maybe she’ll become its villain.

Lenore’s life is falling apart. Propelled home from Manhattan to rural Vermont to spend one final autumn at her family’s historic apple orchard before it’s sold, Lenore struggles to say goodbye. Not only to French Hill Farm, but to everything that once inspired her art. Soon enough, entries in her late grandmother’s journal reignite memories of Lenore’s childhood—and the crush on the groundskeeper’s son she’s since tried to forget.
Callan’s path has been laid out for him for as long as he can remember: live, work, and die in Whitbury, Vermont. He’s taken over for his father as the groundskeeper at French Hill Farm, but now that it’s soon to be sold, his future has turned abruptly uncertain. The last thing he needs is a distraction—like Lenore French showing up out of the blue, looking even better than he remembered. As his best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off limits, and the last time they saw each other, he blew his chance anyway.
Lenore has long believed that her dreams are too big for the small town she grew up in—the same town Callan believes he can never outrun. But one last autumn together could paint their hometown—and each other—in a brand new light.

Niamh McShane was born a witch and died a witch in the same moment, at noonday, at the tender age of thirteen . . .
An indentured servant in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1695, Niamh humbly did the bidding of the powerful Downing family. But she soon learned that these respected Puritans were quick to bear false witness against a helpless orphan—for the madness in Salem Town had spread to their home on Piety Island. Her only comfort in her last hours came from the weavers imprisoned alongside her, Elspeth and Dorcas, who saw the light and power that resided within her…
More than three hundred years later, on the same island, Neve McShane wakes excitedly on her thirteenth birthday. Under the loving gaze of her aunts, Elspeth and Dorcas, she unwraps her gifts: sneakers, an iPhone, and a stunning antique pendant. Then she receives something else: a revelation that will change her life.
Until now, Neve has been an ordinary girl who mixes lotions and potions for her aunts’ shop and dreams of playing guitar and getting a tattoo. But today, she learns that her aunts’ abilities go beyond simple kitchen magic, and their tales of past lives aren’t just whimsical fantasies.
As she grows into adulthood, Neve must prepare for the dangerous battle that awaits. She knows now that all magick is not of the light. And as she hones her skills against forces of darkness, a young man named Caden is building his own formidable powers across the sea in Ireland, a wolf at his side and a sword in his hand . . .

Lucy Ansari’s life revolves around Crawley Books. As a witch, Lucy finds that Charles, the magical old man who owns it, feels more like family than her actual family. And like Lucy, her magic seems to adore books–but she definitely doesn’t adore Charles’ useless grandson, Grayson, who suddenly arrived from Ireland to “help” when Charles breaks his hip.
Grayson has never shown any interest in his lonely grandfather or the store Charles (and Lucy!) have dedicated their lives to. Suspicious of Grayson’s motives, there’s no way Lucy will let him disappoint Charles yet again–she’ll just have to hex him into leaving. But the arrogant, prickly Grayson seems determined to stay, and to finally mend his relationship with Charles before it’s too late. Except, much to his chagrin (and Lucy’s delight), Lucy refuses to part with his grandfather or the store. So, nonmagical Grayson decides to use his own version of magic: vexing Lucy until she gives up her self-anointed role as Charles’ one and only protector.
As shenanigans ensue and sparks fly, Lucy and Grayson realize they share more than just responsibilities at the bookstore–like budding feelings for one another they’re desperate to suppress. But if they can only stop vexing and hexing, it might just be time to take a chance on each other.
Neena Noon’s TO VEX & TO HEX is a funny, emotional romance about finding home in the places and people you love.

From the Rockefellers to the Vanderbilts, the world’s richest families have for centuries built their fortunes on American soil, serving as capitalistic success stories who grew their wealth among free markets and democratic protections. Now, that balance has shifted. Rather than the moguls and magnates of previous generations, the wealthiest individuals of the 21st century are oligarchs unto themselves – and owe much of their wealth to the most anti-democratic forces around the world.
Many of these oligarchs have flung open the doors of influence to dictators from Russia and China, while others have opened new streams of financing and infiltration to regimes in places like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Others have transformed entire industries into playthings for dictatorships in secret. All the while, the Trump administration appears to be unabashedly selling American policy to the highest bidders across the globe, from Qatar to Vietnam and far beyond.
In UNITED STATES OF OLIGARCHY, Casey Michel illuminates a story decades in the making, from the earliest efforts to combat American oligarchs, to the new crop of oligarchs dominating American democracy and making the world safe for dictatorship–all for their own benefit.
The oligarchs have risen and are attempting to reign. The only question remaining is whether or not it’s too late to stop them.

Zaira doesn’t want a hero. She needs a weapon. To save her sister from a soul-devouring curse, she has to cross The Shallows—a nightmare landscape of ruined magic, shifting paths, and vicious creatures that eat people alive. Her guide? Thane Valkor: sorcerer, assassin, walking red flag. His name clears rooms. His magic kills quietly. And whatever he’s really after, it’s not salvation.
He promises to help. He might even mean it. But Zaira knows better than to trust a liar with a blade and ice in his veins. She just doesn’t have a choice.
