Gotta admit that the abducted by aliens title alone has me so curious and I had no idea there was a new Ali Hazelwood and it looks good. 🙂 I’ve also got Cold as Hell and Eternal Magic on the TBR.
The titles for Kimberly Lemming books are always so catchy! And the books are good too for when you need something super fun.
