How to Steal a Star, by Geonn Cannon
Margot Sullivan was ready to give up on her dreams, but a risky invitation could give her everything she's ever wanted. For a price.
Ten years ago, Margot Sullivan's dreams literally crashed to Earth with the destruction of the International Space Station. With all missions canceled and humanity cut off from space, she moved on. She bought an airline and has spent the years since flying charters over the Rockies and trying to forget how close she came to being an astronaut. When an ambitious private project succeeds in clearing away enough debris to make space travel possible again, Margot is devastated to learn she won't even be considered for future missions. She tries to make peace with the fact that she's lost her last chance to reach the stars and move on.
Until the day a mysterious woman appears in the airport with a proposition. An unsanctioned mission. Untested technology. And the possibility their endeavor will end with them either dead or in prison.
But for a chance to see the stars, how could she refuse?

The Wolf Who Cried Girl (Underdogs #10), by Geonn Cannon
Almost ten years ago, Ariadne Willow helped create a stalemate between Hunters and canidae. That peace comes to an end with the abduction of Gwyneth Willow, her partner, Milo Duncan, and the doctor who kept Ari safe while she was in prison. When Milo manages to escape, Ari promises to pull out all the stops to rescue the others.
But this time the Hunters have a plan. Another young canidae is abducted, and her imprisonment is streamed live on the internet for the whole world to see. Unless Ari can find her and stop it, the girl will have no choice but to transform, and canidae will be exposed.
The key to winning may lie in a legendary lost book, a call to arms for all wolves to rise up against the Hunters. Ari worries that unleashing it will only lead to a long, bloody war. But with the lives of her mother and an innocent girl at stake, can Ari really afford to play fair?

A Lady Who Looks Good When She’s Crying (Sunshine and Specter Paranormal Detective Agency #1), by Dan Ackerman
Angels shouldn't pal around with demons, especially not ones they've been sent to assassinate. They shouldn't work with them or cook them dinner, or strike a deal with the Devil for them either. Sunshine probably isn't a very good angel.
The demon in question is Felix Specter. He's forgiven Sunshine for stabbing him all those years ago. He's got a lot on his plate: a curse, his mental health, and a questionable love life. Finding out Sunshine owes the Devil a few favors doesn't help. Neither did that kiss, not that Felix will talk about it anyway.
On top of everything else, Sunshine and Specter have a case to solve. They handle issues that human detectives can't, like monsters in the sewer, mages doing illegal charms, and runaway witches. But they've always dealt with anything the city has to offer. What could be different this time?
September
