Big, Bad Alien by Honey Phillips
MF
Scarlett has never heard anything good about the Vultor but when she encounters one on her way to her grandmother’s house, he is nothing like she expects. She should be afraid - especially when he threatens to keep her forever - but what if she doesn’t want him to let her go?
Humans took everything from Finnar, and he is determined to make them pay. When a pretty little human stumbles into his path she seems like the perfect target for his revenge. If only she didn’t awaken feelings he’d thought gone forever…
C.W.: no warnings from author
Little Red Riding Hood by T.J. Rose
MM
Abandoned as a babe and raised in The Queen's court, Red has always been an outsider, with his mismatched eyes and sharp tongue keeping most at arm's length. When he ventures towards the Dark Forest on an important quest to save his kingdom from the grips of a cruel famine, the last thing he needs is a massive grey wolf stalking him. A wolf who makes it clear that Red looks like a very tasty snack.
Wilhelm ‘Wim’ Hoffmann is dangerous, infuriating, and absolutely not to be trusted—no matter how his deep voice makes Red’s traitorous heart stutter. If only Wim wasn't devastatingly handsome, if only he didn’t cook up such sumptuous meals and use his superior body heat to keep Red warm at night… Then Red might remember that wolves aren't supposed to be trusted, especially ones with secrets as dark as the forest itself.
But Red knows better than to fall for a wild creature's charms... Right?
Surviving these treacherous woods—where slave traders and bandits lurk around every corner—will require more than just an uneasy alliance. As their bond deepens with each shared danger, Red begins to wonder if being devoured by a big bad wolf might not be so bad after all...
C.W.’s: explicit adult content, main character has poor self esteem with brief suicidal ideation, giant spiders (present for two pages), mild gore, mild fantasy classism/racism, set during a time of famine (background context, rather than plot driver).
