If We Were a Movie by ZAKIYA N. JAMAL:

 There’s magic in going to the movies. It can touch your heart, take you somewhere new, and – as academic bazooka Rochelle “The Shell” Coleman is about to discover – it can lead to falling in love with your nemesis.

Horizon Cinemas is a beloved Black-owned theater, and working there is Rochelle’s ticket to Wharton. So, she does it, even though her rival, Amira Rodriguez, is her boss. But when mysterious ongoings threaten the future of Horizon, Rochelle realizes that it means more to her than a simple resume-booster. It’s up to her and the other employees to save the day and maybe, just maybe, find love along the way.

A Single Brutal Fate by LEE PAIGE O’BRIEN

Isola is older than the stars, more powerful than the strongest arcanists, and she should not be trusted. But Rat Evans has made a deal with her – for their friends, and for Harker who may be a friend, an enemy, or something more complicated. Harker who remains locked away in Isola’s tower now two months later.

But Rat has made a deal, so they need to look for answers: on how to free Isola’s heart, on what their role is in all of this, on how to raze a tower and its ancient owner to the ground. What will it cost to find them?

Enthralling and filled with twists, the second book in the Broken Tower Saga combines the dark academia aesthetic of A Lesson in Vengeance with the queer rage of Hell Followed with Us and will have readers tearing through the pages to see how this duology ends.
