Enter the Goodreads giveaway for My Life as a Dust Devil by Carly Berg. Star Garza craves a quiet, predictable life, but her mother, Ree, thrives on chaos and motion. Ree drags Star across New Mexico, bouncing between lovers and disappearing into what she calls her “time free,” when she sleeps in her van, a cave, or a crumbling desert shack. To Ree, people with steady jobs and homes are “domestic livestock,” trapped by routine. She chooses the wild freedom of living on society’s fringes, and Star is along for the ride.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Come Closer by Sara Gran. Amanda’s life begins to unravel in subtle, disturbing ways: a strange noise in her apartment, a memo to her boss replaced with vulgar insults, and a sudden urge to smoke after years of quitting. One night, without realizing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. Her dreams are haunted by a seductive woman with sharp teeth standing beside a crimson sea.
A voice in Amanda’s head urges her to steal, to flirt with strangers, to abandon the life she’s built. Desperate for answers, she turns to a book on demon possession and discovers a chilling possibility: the woman in her dreams might be Naamah, a demon from Kabbalistic lore said to have seduced Adam in his sleep. As Amanda’s behavior grows more violent and erratic, she must confront the terrifying force within her, or risk losing everything.

To survive, Phine must win over a wary magical society, navigate supernatural politics, and confront the curse slowly poisoning her kind.
