The first is The Diabolic, a standalone from S.J. Kincaid. I sadly have yet to read it, but it looks to be just my kind of read and having finally acquired an ARC I look forward to reading it soon! I'm especially excited because it's a standalone - there just aren't enough of them releasing in genre fiction right now.
The second is Romancing the Inventor, the first in the Supernatural Society Novella series from favorite author Gail Carriger. Miss Gail is on a novella kick right now, and fans of her Parasolverse could not be happier! This story involves series-recurring character Genevieve Lefoux, a favorite among fans and yours truly, so I'm especially excited to read it shortly. Want a copy of your own? Miss Gail has generously donated a signed softcover for one lucky reader, so be sure to enter to win it at the end of this post!
So have you checked out either of these reads yet? If not, do so below!

Title: The Diabolic
Author: S.J. Kincaid
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Release Date: 11/1/16
Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when the galaxy’s most deadly weapon masquerades as a senator’s daughter and a hostage of the galactic court.
A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for.
Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe.
When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.
As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life—and the empire.
