I went with Younger and the Gemini Effect too. They sound reasonably good.

Different strokes on the title, I guess.
Seeing that name displayed so prominently and casually (while making sense contextually) just makes me physically ill.

I do think there could have been a better option than the generic "Gemini" title, but ...
it's all just very touchy and (for some) emotional with the original.

New books for April are... (choose one this month)

Urban Fantasy
Boundary Crossed (Boundary Magic Book 1) by Melissa F. Olson

After her twin sister’s brutal murder, former US Army Sergeant Allison “Lex” Luther vowed to protect her niece, Charlie. So when two vampires try to kidnap the baby, it quickly turns into a fight to the death—Lex’s death, that is.

She wakes up to two shocking discoveries: she has miraculously survived the fight, and baby Charlie is a “null,” gifted with the ability to weaken supernatural forces...and a target for creatures who want to control that power. Determined to guarantee her niece’s safety, Lex makes a deal with the local vampires. She sets out with the mysterious—and undead—“fixer” Quinn to track down whoever’s responsible for the kidnapping, sharpening her newfound magic skills along the way. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her powers become.

Boundary Crossed is a dark, thrilling journey into a world where the line between living and dead isn’t nearly as solid as it appears...

Contemporary Fiction
Trail of Broken Wings by Sejal Badani

When her father falls into a coma, Indian American photographer Sonya reluctantly returns to the family she’d fled years before. Since she left home, Sonya has lived on the run, free of any ties, while her soft-spoken sister, Trisha, has created a perfect suburban life, and her ambitious sister, Marin, has built her own successful career. But as these women come together, their various methods of coping with a terrifying history can no longer hold their memories at bay.

Buried secrets rise to the surface as their father—the victim of humiliating racism and perpetrator of horrible violence—remains unconscious. As his condition worsens, the daughters and their mother wrestle with private hopes for his survival or death, as well as their own demons and buried secrets.

Told with forceful honesty, Trail of Broken Wings reveals the burden of shame and secrets, the toxicity of cruelty and aggression, and the exquisite, liberating power of speaking and owning truth.

Mystery
The Altar Girl: A Prequel (The Nadia Tesla Series) by Orest Stelmach

The daughter of uncompromising Ukrainian immigrants, Nadia was raised to respect guts, grit, and tradition. When the events around the seemingly accidental death of her estranged godfather don’t add up, Nadia is determined to discover the truth—even if she attracts the attention of dangerous men intent on finding out what she knows through any means possible.

Her investigation leads her to her hometown and to the people least likely to welcome her back: her family.

In this thrilling prequel to the Nadia Tesla series, Nadia must try to solve the mystery surrounding her godfather’s death—and his life. The answers to her questions are buried with the secrets of her youth and in post–World War II refugee camps. What Nadia learns will change her life forever.

Romance
This Thing Called Love (A Mirror Lake Novel) by Miranda Liasson

New York City self-help editor Olivia Marks faces her toughest assignment yet: parenthood. When her sister dies in a car accident, the career-oriented Olivia suddenly becomes the guardian to her four-week-old niece, Annabelle. She also becomes a challenge for Annabelle’s uncle, Brad Rushford, an old flame whose gorgeous green eyes bring Olivia’s fevered memories rushing back.

As the two circle each other in their small hometown of Mirror Lake, Olivia finds that Brad is as sexy and charming as ever—and now he’s the darling of the town as he expands his successful lakefront restaurant. Is his flirting designed to get serious, or to lower Olivia’s defenses to give up guardianship? When she finds out about the turreted, brick Victorian house Brad tours with a realtor and an attractive, no-strings-attached reporter—the same place where he and Olivia shared an unforgettable night years ago—Olivia wonders if he’s looking for a future with her, or planning to start a new life with someone else.

In the first heartwarming Mirror Lake story, steamy trysts and surprising twists lead two people to a future neither one expected.

Since we're limited to one this month, I'll have to wait for reviews to trickle in since I'm torn between two of these.

[Manabi]

I went with Boundary Crossed, although frankly I didn't like the sound of any of them this time.

[Dngrsone]

I agree: decent hooks, but nothing grabs me... I'll wait for more a handful of reviews for each.

[Hampshire Nanny]

Actually, I found more appealing to me this month than in March when we were offered two of four books.

[NickyWithNook]

Trail of Broken Wings is right up my alley. Looking forward to it.

Thanks. I got that one too.

[Dngrsone]

Okay, free or not, I may just have to skip this month's offering...

[Catlady]

I skipped April, and I think I'm going to skip May as well.

[NickyWithNook]

I'm going to wait for some more reviews to come in before I decide.

[tubemonkey]

I'm gonna wait until the last minute and then get an ulcer trying to decide
